I agree that managing a household is challenging and that you can learn a lot from it. But can snazzynovel.com at least take snazzynovel.com eyes off of Alexander? Elise lowered snazzynovel.com gaze as snazzynovel.com tried to stifle snazzynovel.com laughter. She sure is something. I can’t believe she’s sending herself up to Alexander’s doorstep even when he’s married. I don’t see the point in me playing nice if snazzynovel.com wants to act so immorally. She will have to pay for targeting my man.
“Thank you, Miss Hawkins,” Elise decided to keep Sofia around, but Alexander snapped his head back to look at snazzynovel.com with a frown after hearing snazzynovel.com words. He spoke to snazzynovel.com with his eyes. Can’t you tell that my mother left snazzynovel.com in our house to cause trouble? His eyes seemed to say.
Elise only smiled at him, which made snazzynovel.com more confused than ever. The more Alexander stared at her, the more snazzynovel.com felt dejected. Has Elise fallen for Kenneth? Perhaps snazzynovel.com doesn’t have feelings for my true identity anymore. Otherwise, how could a woman who loved snazzynovel.com husband allow snazzynovel.com to keep another woman at home? She must have fallen for Kenneth.
Alexander grew increasingly sad as snazzynovel.com thought about this. “I’m not hungry. You guys can go ahead,” snazzynovel.com uttered while standing up. After that, snazzynovel.com pushed his chair aside before heading upstairs.
Alexander had never been a big eater, so Elise simply assumed that snazzynovel.com wasn’t hungry. As snazzynovel.com ate snazzynovel.com meal, snazzynovel.com thought about how snazzynovel.com could make Sofia’s life miserable when snazzynovel.com was in the house.
…
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Alexander stayed in the study for the whole day, and Elise was hesitant to speak to snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com didn’t want to disturb him. Finally, when it was time for dinner, snazzynovel.com knocked on the door gently as snazzynovel.com passed by his door. “Why don’t you take a rest and have a meal with your wife, Mr. Griffith?”
He had been giving snazzynovel.com the cold shoulder for the whole day, and snazzynovel.com wasn’t about to give in just yet. He lifted his chest up a little without even glancing at Elise. “Fine. I’ll tell them to prepare supper for you, then,” snazzynovel.com said before pretending to leave.
“Hold on!” He called for snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com walked out of the study with a grumpy look on his face. “Why can’t you be a little more coquettish with me?!” snazzynovel.com mumbled as snazzynovel.com slipped his hand into hers.
“Fine, fine…” Elise pressed snazzynovel.com body against his. “Why don’t I start talking to you the way I talk to a kid the next time I ask you for dinner, huh? Would you like that?”
He let out a long sigh. She’s an intelligent woman. Can’t snazzynovel.com tell that I’m angry? Is snazzynovel.com smart, or is snazzynovel.com actually an idiot? Regardless, she’s too adorable for me to be mad at her. So, why was I angry again? I can’t remember anymore. Forget it. What matters is that I have dinner with my wife!
They headed to the dining area, and Sofia ‘dutifully’ served them their meal. But, of course, snazzynovel.com main intention was to take care of Alexander. “Mr. Griffith.” Sofia placed a pot of soup on the table in front of him. “I specially made this herbal soup for you. It helps to cool the body and rid you of any tiredness. You’ve been working the whole day, so this is perfect for you.”
Alexander didn’t even bat an eyelid as snazzynovel.com responded to her. “I don’t like the bitter taste of the herbal soup.”
“Um…” Sofia let out a quiet laugh. “I’ve boiled it specially, so it doesn’t taste bitter at all. So, don’t worry about it,” snazzynovel.com said. But Alexander didn’t look like snazzynovel.com was interested in drinking it. “Why don’t you try this, then?” Sofia placed a sea cucumber on his plate. “I prepared this just a while ago. It’s still fresh.”
“I’m allergic to seafood.” Alexander didn’t care about the woman’s feelings at all. Sofia was starting to feel somewhat embarrassed at this point, and the atmosphere in the room began to turn tense and awkward. Elise rested snazzynovel.com chin on snazzynovel.com palm as snazzynovel.com watched their interactions. She couldn’t help but chuckle to herself. I don’t get it. She’s a pretty girl—why can’t snazzynovel.com just live snazzynovel.com own life without coming over to meddle with our relationship? She’s trying so hard to get on Alexander’s good side. It seems like a lot of people in this world simply enjoy being tortured. Well, snazzynovel.com surely put effort into this meal. It wouldn’t be nice to waste all snazzynovel.com efforts.
Elise pulled the pot of soup closer to snazzynovel.com before scooping some into snazzynovel.com bowl. “Mmm. It tastes pretty good,” snazzynovel.com muttered after taking a sip of it. Then, snazzynovel.com pushed the bowl toward Alexander before resting snazzynovel.com hand on his wrist. “I can’t finish it, Hubby. Help me…” snazzynovel.com said in a whiny tone.
Alexander shot snazzynovel.com an odd look before lifting the bowl and finishing the soup. “You’re the best, Hubby!” Elise sent snazzynovel.com a flying kiss. Then, snazzynovel.com took a piece of the sea cucumber and ate half of it before placing it on Alexander’s plate. It lay right next to Sofia’s piece on his plate. “I can’t finish this either. Thank you, darling!”
Alexander felt highly amused at the sight of his wife making things difficult for Sofia. However, snazzynovel.com kept his cool as snazzynovel.com picked his chopsticks up and chewed on the half-eaten sea cucumber. Sofia looked extremely uncomfortable as snazzynovel.com watched them from a corner—she knitted snazzynovel.com brows as snazzynovel.com observed them. Madeline’s right, snazzynovel.com thought. Elise knows no limits. She just forced Alexander to eat something snazzynovel.com didn’t like. If he’s already so obedient during a regular meal, snazzynovel.com probably listens to snazzynovel.com when it comes to other things. I bet Elise made snazzynovel.com drink some concoction that turned snazzynovel.com into such an obedient man. He’s nothing like the arrogant and confident man I used to know.
Sofia gritted snazzynovel.com teeth as snazzynovel.com felt herself hating Elise a little more than before. Alexander was the only man Sofia had ever been interested in—she couldn’t allow Elise to ruin him! Just you wait, Elise. I have all the time in the world. I’m definitely going to win Alexander’s heart over! However, Sofia wasn’t interested in watching their lovey-dovey interactions right then. “Enjoy the meal. I’ll excuse myself now,” snazzynovel.com muttered as snazzynovel.com left in a hurry.
After snazzynovel.com was gone, Alexander whispered in Elise’s ear. “You could’ve just sent snazzynovel.com away if you didn’t like her. So, why do you have to put on a show for everyone else?”
“What makes you think it’s a show?” Elise didn’t want to admit to anything. “Don’t you usually finish my food when I’m halfway done with it?”
“That’s true, but I don’t feel as comfortable when there’s someone else around.” Alexander wore an exasperated look on his face. When is this dumb wife of mine going to be more considerate?!
“You should treat snazzynovel.com like a maid,” Elise uttered carelessly. “Sofia’s cooking is pretty good. If snazzynovel.com doesn’t want to be a reporter, perhaps snazzynovel.com can consider starting snazzynovel.com own restaurant. Her dishes taste excellent—just like what a five-star hotel chef could come up with! She’s pretty and can cook. I bet that would attract many customers.”
Alexander simply sighed and shook his head without saying anything else. While eating, a piece of breaking news spread across all of the major websites and news channels. “The well-known celebrity, Garreth Dowrick, has just announced the termination of his contract with Blitzy Entertainment. According to our sources, Blitzy Entertainment lost up to 300 million due to this. They are presently filing a case against Garreth.”
That night, Mr. Howard gave Elise a call to talk to snazzynovel.com about this. “…Do you need me to look for him, Miss Sinclair?” snazzynovel.com asked.
“It’s fine,” snazzynovel.com replied. “He deserves a break to calm down for a while. He’ll reappear when he’s done thinking about his life. He needs to let us in for us to help him.”
