Alexander didn’t answer, but in the next second, snazzynovel.com wrapped Elise in his arms.
After hugging snazzynovel.com for a while, snazzynovel.com said, “I know what you’re thinking, but I stand by what I just said, I can’t allow snazzynovel.com to continue stirring up trouble. What did snazzynovel.com tell you this time?”
Alexander went straight to the point. Elise was embarrassed when snazzynovel.com remembered what Matthew had said to her. If snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com the truth, snazzynovel.com would be furious.
“It’s nothing. He had some immature ideas and told me to stand in line.” Elise laughed, wanting to change the topic.
Alexander paused for a few seconds, then asked, “Did my mother look for you?”
“Yes,” Elise replied honestly.
It was impossible to hide Madeline’s displeasure toward snazzynovel.com and the fact that snazzynovel.com had met with her.
Rubbing snazzynovel.com head, Alexander said in a low voice, “Don’t listen to her. You’re mine. I… I’m sorry for the trouble she’s caused you, but you have to trust me. Can you give me some time to deal with it?”
She believed him, but snazzynovel.com didn’t believe that Madeline’s attitude toward snazzynovel.com could be improved.
“Your mother favors Maya a lot. I…” Elise let out a long sigh.
“Don’t think so much!”
Elise grew increasingly firm with snazzynovel.com thoughts.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although they didn’t say anything, at this moment, the silence spoke louder than words.
After they hugged for a while longer, a rumbling sound rang out in the large office. Elise was embarrassed, and snazzynovel.com just wanted to find a hole to hide in.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to dinner…” Alexander abandoned his work and left as snazzynovel.com wished.
However, Elise didn’t expect to bump into Madeline and Maya in the restaurant.
Madeline was glaring at snazzynovel.com like an enemy, and the look Maya was giving snazzynovel.com wasn’t any better.
Elise’s mind whirled. Uhm… What is this all about?
“Why don’t you go eat with them?” Elise gently tugged on Alexander’s sleeve and lowered snazzynovel.com voice.
Madeline had already told snazzynovel.com off, yet here snazzynovel.com was, out in public with Alexander. At this point, anyone would be angry.
But, without saying a word, Alexander pulled snazzynovel.com into the private room, leaving Madeline in a foul mood.
“Godmother, you can’t be angry. If you get angry at her, you’ll be letting snazzynovel.com win. She brought Alex here on purpose to anger you.” Maya immediately stepped forward to comfort Madeline as soon as snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com darkened expression.
It would’ve been fine if snazzynovel.com hadn’t said anything, but as soon as snazzynovel.com spoke, a trigger was pulled. Madeline’s chest heaved. “How can I not be angry? That b*tch… What did I tell her? She actually turned a deaf ear to what I said. It’s really giving me a headache!”
“That’s why you can’t get angry. Alex has just been momentarily captivated by that b*tch. When snazzynovel.com comes to his senses, snazzynovel.com would naturally be nothing.” Not only was Maya persuading Madeline, snazzynovel.com was persuading herself too.
“He won’t come to his senses! He even said that I could continue causing snazzynovel.com trouble if I wanted snazzynovel.com dead. I wonder what kind of potion that b*tch had given him!” Madeline snapped angrily.
“Who would’ve thought that snazzynovel.com would have such good cards to play, or that snazzynovel.com had a godfather! Godmother, I always felt that snazzynovel.com relationship with snazzynovel.com godfather is unusual. Since snazzynovel.com wouldn’t leave Alexander no matter what, could it be that she’s a spy sent by them?”
Maya suddenly remembered that Elise had a godfather, so snazzynovel.com continued to ignite the flame.
Having been reminded by Maya of this fact, Madeline was instantly agitated. “Maya, that may actually be true. No, I can’t let Elise succeed. Otherwise, the foundation of the Griffith Family will be nabbed by someone else!”
The more Madeline spoke, the more anxious snazzynovel.com grew, and snazzynovel.com stepped forward to go confront Elise, but Maya stopped her. “Godmother, if you just rushed in like this, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t possibly admit it, and Alex wouldn’t allow us to go in.”
“What should we do, then?” Madeline felt anxious and troubled.
Smiling, Maya whispered something into Madeline’s ear, and only then did Madeline nod satisfactorily.
