Alex knew that Ben and Gavin must be in the monitoring room now, waiting to see the show between him and this woman.
It was another proof that Ethan had already lost confidence in life. The only person he was still worried about was Alex, his half- brother. He first forced Alex to marry a woman, and he wanted to make Alex and the woman to have a child.
So after that he could die with peace? Perhaps at this moment, his heart was half dead, with no desire for life at all. Ethan's behavior increased the hatred in Alex's heart. He hated the persons who hurt Ethan in the first place.
In fact, Alex also knew that with Ellie's brains, he couldn't think of such a meticulous plan. Although Ellie was dissatisfied with the will of Grandpa Selmy, he wouldn't go so far as to kill Ethan. At most, he would play some trick or set Ethan up to make him lose Selmy's Group.
If it was Ellie who tried to kill Ethan, then there must be a mastermind behind him.
Who was that person?
Judging from the fact that Ethan insisted on protecting the person who called him to go to the underground garage to save people, Alex speculated that the person who made the call should be Yen.
Alex had always felt that Yen appearance in Ethan's life was not an accident, but an evil result of careful planning.
She first made Ethan love her head over heels and then won his trust, created a false impression that they were deeply in love, and finally conspired to harm the two brothers. Was that the case?
Now, Yen had "died", and in Ethan's mind, she had left an indelible memory. Even if he had almost lost his life, he had to protect the fame of the woman. Even if that woman was dead!
How deep the love had to be to make a man ignore his own life and family to protect a vicious woman?
Alex really couldn't understand this kind of love between a man and a woman. At least so far, Alex couldn't understand it!
As he thought about this, Alex became agitated and he said rudely, "I've told you to come over. Come over! Don't make me force you!"
'He did this again! This man always acts like that. When he is annoyed inexplicably, he would torture me. He doesn't care there is an impassible chasm between us. His arbitrary air is really unbearable!"
Of course, Lita wouldn't go to him voluntarily. She didn't want to seek insult. Besides, they were being held captive now. How could he have the mood to tease her? Was he seeking fun in the suffering? Lita couldn't accept such kind of entertainment!
She wouldn't be a toy for him to have fun.
But anger was written all over his face. And she remembered that the man was trapped here because he wanted to save her. She wouldn't treat him unkindly. So she quickly walked into the small bedroom, picked up a pillow and came out.
When she was still a meter away from the sofa Alex sat on, she threw the pillow to him and said, "Okay, hug this one!"
She wanted to add that holding a pillow would be more comfortable than holding her, because a pillow would not revolt but she would. And morally it was more appropriate for him to hold a pillow instead of her.
Alex looked at the pillow that was thrown into his arms and frowned deeply. This woman is always like this. Every time I tried to be intimate with her, she would revolt. She doesn't know that her revolting would only increase my desire to conquer her."
"Lita, do you plan to stay here forever?" Alex put his long legs on the tea table and his eyes gleamed with coldness.
"Of course want to go out...Have you thought of the way?" Lita asked tentatively.
It was true this man was overbearing and evil and he was a very dangerous person. Dealing with him would be similar to dancing with a wolf. But at least he was her family. She had to rely on him.
"If you can listen to me, I'll probably think of the way soon. But if you won't, maybe I won't be able to think of it in three days, five days or even half a month!" Alex stretched himself to find a more comfortable position to lie on the sofa.
He looked very relaxed, because he knew that Ethan's life was safe as long as he and Lita hadn't produced the offspring of Selmy family.
"Alex, please don't mess around. If you have thought of some way, we should do it quickly. Ethan is still waiting for us to go back. He is in poor health. What if he hears that we are trapped here and then gets sicker, what should we do?" Every word she said was with deep concern for Ethan.
Alex frowned and he had an indescribable feeling. It was good that someone cared about Ethan, but this woman was his own wife...He seemed to detect the jealousy inside himself.
"You are very concerned about my brother." It was a sentence between question and statement, and there was a tint of bitterness in it. Alex furrowed his brows and had a gloomy expression.
"Of course I am concerned about your brother! Ethan is my husband!" Lita responded.
"Shut up! Don't say such things in front of me in the future! Or I will beat you up!" Alex snapped in a low voice, almost roaring.
"..." Lita was stunned. Why did this man get angry again? She didn't think she had said anything to provoke him. Was his heart distorted so that he was so excitable? And no one would be able to predict when he would get furious suddenly.
Did he just say that he wanted to beat her up? Who did he think she was? Following the formality, he had to be respectful to her as she was his elder brother's wife. Where were his manners? How could he yell at her and declare that he would beat her up?
At this moment, Alex seemed to realize that he had been caught in a trap since he proposed the marriage in Ethan's name. Whether the woman in front of him was pretending to be faithful to Ethan or she really wanted to live up to her morality, Alex felt himself sinking into the mire.
He couldn't even find an excuse to lose his temper. If he told this stupid and naive woman that she didn't marry Ethan but married himself, the handsome guy who was sitting in front of her right now, would she believe him?
But it also proved that what he had done before was seeking trouble for himself. And she didn't seem to be in cahoots with Ellie!
Looking at this woman who was always annoying yet clever, Alex really wanted to f*ck her!
