Elise realized it was not the time to get embarrassed, so snazzynovel.com recomposed herself and got serious as well. “A distraction?” snazzynovel.com repeated it, then snazzynovel.com understood what Alexander was getting at. “Faye! She did this!”
The first thing Trevor said after snazzynovel.com stood up was to marry Faye off. Jeanie had also told Elise that Austin wanted to marry Faye off to Johan first. Only then would snazzynovel.com settle the marriage between Elise and Alexander.
Alexander smiled and scraped snazzynovel.com nose. “Smart,” snazzynovel.com said lovingly.
Now the pieces have fallen into place. Faye wants to keep staying with the family, so snazzynovel.com came up with this diversion. However, Elise had looked into it and found out that the Fields never came in contact with anyone. So how did Faye talk them into this? Or did snazzynovel.com choose the girl at random for Trevor? Elise couldn’t be sure, but now that snazzynovel.com knew how the case happened, it’d be easy to look into it.
They stayed together for a while longer, then Elise went to Trevor’s room.
The medicinal bath was already prepared as per Elise’s instruction. She looked inside and told the caretaker directly, “Take his clothes off.”
It was not the first time Elise made strange requests, so within two minutes, the caretaker had already stripped Trevor of all fabric.
“Put snazzynovel.com in the bath, and you may leave,” Elise said again.
“Yes,” the caretakers answered politely and quickly did as Elise said before leaving the room.
Elise looked away and turned to speak to Jeanie and Alexander. “You two should go out too. I’m going to use some needles here, and it’s a bit of a private matter. It’s best that you don’t stay around.”
“Of course, Elise. Don’t push yourself. If you can’t complete it in one session, you can resume the next day. Your brother’s tough. He can endure the pain for a couple more days.” Jeanie held Elise’s hand and patted it.
“What am I, chopped liver?” Trevor complained.
“Maybe.” Jeanie teased snazzynovel.com with feigned seriousness. “Elise has never lost any fight, but you? You spend snazzynovel.com money, get into trouble, and snazzynovel.com has to step in to save you. I’d rather raise a pig at this rate. At least it’s worth something.”
“Mom, quiet down,” Trevor said. Alexander is watching. I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of my future brother-in-law.
“Yeah, yeah,” Jeanie answered, but snazzynovel.com didn’t care too much about it. “Tell snazzynovel.com to stop if snazzynovel.com looks even the least bit exhausted, got it?”
Oh, mother. My heart bleeds for the lack of love from you. Do you see it?
Jeanie gave Elise an encouraging look before leaving the room. However, Alexander remained rooted to his spot like a tree.
“Aren’t you leaving?” Elise arched snazzynovel.com eyebrow.
“No,” Alexander answered calmly. “We’re guys. We don’t really mind, and I can help you.”
“But I need no assistant,” Elise answered innocently.
A frown appeared on Alexander’s face, and snazzynovel.com said, “Then I shall be witnessing your skills.”
Elise shrugged. “Suit yourself,” snazzynovel.com mumbled. Then, snazzynovel.com went into the chamber and stood beside the bath. At the same time, snazzynovel.com took the needles out of the pouch beside snazzynovel.com and spread them on Trevor’s acupoints. Once half of the needles were used, snazzynovel.com said, “Stand up.”
“Huh?” Trevor was flabbergasted. He was stark naked, and when Elise came so close to snazzynovel.com just now, snazzynovel.com covered his wiener even though the medicinal bath was black in color. Is snazzynovel.com going to do something to Trevor Jr.? “E-Elise.” Trevor coughed and shifted the topic stiffly. “I don’t think you’re an expert in this, right? And I’m really fine down there, so there’s no need for the needles, alright?”
Elise looked at snazzynovel.com curiously. “If you were really fine, you wouldn’t have been beaten to a pulp by a bunch of regular guys.”
You just had to bring that up.
“Okay”
Trevor was still fidgeting, but snazzynovel.com would not stand up. Finally, Elise lost snazzynovel.com patience. “I’m a professional. Patients are patients, so I don’t care about their gender. Or do you think your wiener is too small for me to find?”
“Am not!” Trevor retorted loudly. “On the contrary, it’s so big you might be scared!” He paused for a moment and looked at snazzynovel.com melancholically. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman like you.” He gave up arguing and put his hands away before slowly standing up while holding the edge of the bath for support.
Elise was sitting beside the bath calmly. Just before snazzynovel.com could see Trevor stark naked, someone covered snazzynovel.com eyes. Alexander took a pair of pants hanging somewhere beside snazzynovel.com and tossed it into the bath. “Wear this,” snazzynovel.com said coldly.
Trevor picked it up. He looked at Alexander before turning to Elise, at a loss of what to do. “So should I wear this, Elise?”
Elise was amused. Oh, so that’s why snazzynovel.com stayed behind. “Wear it.” She smiled. “We’ll skip that part and switch you to meds for Trevor Jr., but Alexander’s going to have to pay for those meds.” Well, snazzynovel.com stepped in right before I could do anything. If snazzynovel.com doesn’t want me to look at it, then snazzynovel.com has to pay the price.
Trevor looked at Alexander with an unspoken plea in his eyes.
“I’ll pay,” Alexander said calmly. “I’ll get Trevor everything snazzynovel.com needs.”
“That’s more like it.” Trevor happily picked the pants up and wore them.
Alexander removed his hands from snazzynovel.com eyes and put them behind him, acting like nothing had happened.
Elise shook snazzynovel.com head with a smile and went back to the acupuncture treatment for Trevor. Once the last needle pierced its target, snazzynovel.com told snazzynovel.com to go back into the bath.
The moment snazzynovel.com soaked himself in the bath, Trevor felt electrified. He gritted his teeth, and every cell in his body was shaking.
“You’ll have to endure the pain if you want to hasten the absorption and change your body,” Elise said.
“No prob.” Trevor gritted his teeth and tried to be as calm as snazzynovel.com could. “I can take this easy.”
“Is that so?” Elise arched snazzynovel.com eyebrow. “We’ll be leaving for a couple of hours then.”
“Huh?” Trevor’s voice broke. He turned around, but Elise was already leaving with Alexander hand-in-hand without a care in the world.
“Elise? Alexander? You can’t leave me alone here!” Trevor pleaded, but silence was his answer.
A few moments later, the door creaked shut.
Outside the room, Elise stood before Alexander, staring at his face. “Well, I never thought you’d be such a schemer, Mr. Griffith. You’re jealous of Trevor, aren’t you?”
Alexander squinted. Once snazzynovel.com was done talking, snazzynovel.com wrapped his hand around snazzynovel.com shoulder and pulled snazzynovel.com into his embrace. Elise was about to protest, but then snazzynovel.com said calmly, “Yes. I’m jealous of anyone who gets close to you. I want you all to myself.”
