But what was wrong with the man inside? She had warned him in advance. Why didn't he say anything? If he said he was Alex, Lita wouldn't break in by mistake.
Did he try to embarrass her on purpose? After she resumed her composure, she thought it over.
She felt that Alex did it on purpose.
That room was her wedding room with Ethan. Within the huge terraced villa, there were at least five or six bathrooms. Why did he have to choose their wedding room to take a shower?
And before she went in, she knocked on the door and asked if Ethan was inside. The man should have heard it, why wouldn't he respond to her? If he responded to her, how could she accidentally break in and take a good look at his naked body?
It must have been a prank of this man!
How could he make fun of his sister-in-law like that? That was disrespectful to his big brother, Ethan!
After thinking about it, Lita felt that if she told Ethan about this incident, it might affect their relationship as brothers. And most of all, Ethan was in poor health now. Lita did not want to annoy him because of this unimportant matter!
However, Lita didn't want to swallow her anger silently. She didn't want to build her prestige as a sister-in-law, but she wanted the rude and overbearing Alex to respect her at least. It was respect for his brother too.
Lita thought of a person, Alice.
Although Alice was just a servant of Selmy family, she had worked for the two brothers for more than 20 years. She was even more like their mother and she was highly respected by the two brothers.
"Alice, Alex should have his own room, doesn't he?"
Alice was stunned by Lita's sudden question. Wasn't Alex's room their wedding room?
"Alice, Alex must listen to you if you ask him to do something. Could you tell him not to take in his brother's bedroom from now on? Now that Ethan is already a married man, it will be inconvenient for him more or less," said Lita gently.
Alice sighed silently. Alex didn't want to get married, but he was forced by his brother into this marriage.'
However, it was really inconvenient for Alice to say anything about it. If Alex could not see the sincerity and kindness of Lita, how could he fall in love with her? It was difficult for him to treat Lita well for the time being.
"Okay, I'll talk to Alex later," Alice said vaguely.
"Thank you, Alice," Lita thanked softly.
"By the way, Alice, give me Ethan's breakfast. I'll feed him this morning." Lita picked up the specially prepared fluid food at the top of the bar, but she didn't expect to meet Alex's secretive eyes when she turned around.
The man must have heard what she said to Alice just now, she thought.
It was good. He was warned. He should stop treating his sister-in-law disrespectfully! It was equal to being disrespectful to his own big brother.
But Lita would never have thought that the man in front of her was her real husband by law!
Because of the incident in the bathroom just now, Lita was embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Alex. She just glanced briefly at him and averted her eyes hurriedly.
Her heart had lost its usual rhythm. As if there was an Orchestra inside her heart, a passionate symphony was being played heatedly.
"Give me my brother's breakfast." Alex's voice was filled with inexplicable suppressed anger.
"Let me do it!" Lita gritted her teeth and raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze. "One day, you will get married with some woman and have your own family. At that time, I will be the person to take care of your brother."
"No woman will be more important than my brother!" Alex's voice seemed to send chill down her spine.
Watching the man turn and go upstairs with the breakfast, Lita felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She didn't know whether it was because of the man's brotherly affection or the bone-chilling coldness hidden in his words?
In the treatment room.
Ethan took a sip of the food fed by Alex, and said feebly, "In the future, you can let Alice do these tasks. If you have the time, you'd better keep Lita company."
"I've contacted burns department experts of the best hospital in Massachusetts. When are you ready to leave?" This was the most important topic of Alex.
"Why do you keep thinking about my surgery? You should take Lita to the honeymoon."
Ethan took another sip of food. "If you have a child on your honeymoon, I'll be happy, and probably I'll be healthy enough for the trip."
No doubt this was an act of expedient for Ethan.
"A child should be the product of love! I won't let an evil woman get pregnant with my child," Alex replied decisively and coldly.
"Well, Lita is a good girl," Ethan sighed deeply. "Why do you have to pretend to be me and frighten her? If you face her with your true self, she will definitely fall in love with you! Don't embarrass her anymore."
"It's okay for me not to embarrass her, if you could go with me to the United States for skin grafting surgery!"
Alex defeated his brother using Lydia as a pawn. He couldn't let his brother continue to play a stalling trick with him!
"Lita is your wife, Alex." Ethan suddenly realized that he could not beat Alex in this game. He always lost the games in the past and now it was even impossible for him to win. He was smarter than he was since they were children.
"That's because you forced me into this marriage! I was obedient to you and got married. Isn't it the time for you to go with me to US as you promised? It wouldn't be good if I have to force you into doing that," said Alex half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Ethan's eyes fell on the photo again. "without you in this world, what's the point for me to live?"
The woman in the photo made Alex frown. 'How could Ethan be so depressed for this woman?"
Originally, Lita wanted to take the opportunity to go to the orphanage to be a volunteer during the summer vacation. Now that she was someone's wife, she thought the priority was to take care of her husband who was inconvenient in action and could not take care of himself.
Therefore, after breakfast, Lita was ready to learn from Doctor Owen's assistant on how to wash Ethan's body.
When Lita was about to put on her sterile clothes, a call came from the orphanage. She was told that Dean Oliver was hospitalized. She quickly put down her work and rushed to the hospital where Dean Oliver stayed.
During over a year when Lita was not accepted by her aunt Maria, she lived with Dean Oliver. Even after she returned to Bishop family, Dean Oliver always called her to show his concern to her.
Only after she got to the hospital did she learn that Dean Oliver got sick because of the fatigue for raising funds for the child with congenital heart disease. However, they were still short of one hundred thousand dollars after the fund they collected and some exemption by the hospital. The child's heart valve surgery couldn't wait.
One hundred thousand dollars was an astronomical number for an abandoned child.
But for the rich people, it might be just a piece of cake. Lita decided to help the poor kid. It was to help Dean Oliver too, who fell sick because of fatigue physically and mentally.
The first thing that came to Lita's mind was to go to Bishop family for money. This was not the first time that she had asked Bishop family for money for the children in the orphanage.
Usually, as long as the number was not too huge, Uncle Jack would agree. Because Jack knew that Lita was kind-hearted. Unfortunately, Jack was not in the company at the moment. He was on a business trip.
What should she do?
