Even Trevor was starting to warm up to Claude, and the whole family looked merry. Well, everyone except Alexander.
Ever since Elise came to the table, snazzynovel.com would glance at Alexander. She noticed his silence, so snazzynovel.com gave snazzynovel.com some food. “Here. It’s your favorite.”
Alexander looked at his bowl, and his frown disappeared. He paused for a moment before snazzynovel.com started to eat, but snazzynovel.com looked at Claude coldly.
Claude met his gaze, and snazzynovel.com knew Alexander was mocking him, but all snazzynovel.com did was smile, as if snazzynovel.com didn’t care about Alexander. Fortunately, none of them got into any argument, so dinner went relatively well.
After the servant came and cleared the table, Claude stood up and stretched his arm, then snazzynovel.com huddled closer to Elise. “Where will I be staying tonight, Elise?” snazzynovel.com asked.
“Third room on the right in the backyard,” Elise said calmly.
Claude craned his neck. “Where are you staying then?”
“Second room on the left,” Elise answered impatiently.
“Who’s in the first room?” snazzynovel.com asked again.
Elise gritted snazzynovel.com teeth, but snazzynovel.com said nothing.
“That’s my room,” Trevor raised his voice. “You got a problem with that?”
“Of course not.” He grinned and wrapped his arm around Trevor’s neck, then snazzynovel.com whispered something into his ear.
For some reason, Trevor’s eyes widened in excitement, then snazzynovel.com shook Claude’s hands. “My room’s yours now.”
Alexander was shocked. He and Elise were already engaged, but Trevor was still on guard and never allowed snazzynovel.com to move in. This guy is only here for a day, but now snazzynovel.com gets to stay beside Elise? If this goes on, I’m going to lose my status here.
Jeanie noticed that, and snazzynovel.com started thinking about the whole situation. Wait, does this boy like Elise too? She did like Claude, but snazzynovel.com was too much of a sweet talker and had no sense of personal space. He’s a playboy. I can’t let snazzynovel.com get together with Elise.
“Trevor,” Jeanie said. “My room’s dark and humid all the time. Can I take yours?”
Trevor was filial, so snazzynovel.com would not refuse his mother’s request. “Of course, Mom.”
“Thank you.” She nodded and looked at Claude. “Max, I live in the first room on the right. It’s big, so I hope you won’t hate it.”
“I won’t. I’m a big guy, so I can live in dark spaces. It’s great for me. Don’t mind it,” Claude agreed readily.
“Good to hear.” Jeanie looked at snazzynovel.com approvingly. He’s a friendly one, but not good enough to be Elise’s husband.
Claude didn’t mind. He took Trevor away and had a hushed talk. When they came back, Claude gave snazzynovel.com two bottles of meds.
After Elise was done performing acupuncture on Joseph that night, Alexander took snazzynovel.com back to snazzynovel.com room. The moment they came to snazzynovel.com room, the door to the right room suddenly opened, and Claude came out. “Oh, back from your date, Elise?”
“Why are you here?” Elise asked. This room is the furthest one from the front yard. It’s quiet and spacious. It’s supposed to belong to Grandma and Grandpa.
“I managed to move in. Charisma talks.” He looked up arrogantly and smirked at Alexander.
And Alexander stormed off angrily.
