âWhat are you daydreaming about? Take this,â Alexander Summers handed it to her.
Purple Summers suddenly received an armful of flowers, her heartbeat quickened, and her face also turned somewhat red.
âWhy buy flowers all of a suddenâ¦â she murmured.
After giving her the flowers, Alexander opened the closet and turned his back to change his clothes.
Although the two had switched rooms, it was only the bedding and personal items that had been swapped; most of the clothing was still in their respective rooms.
Alexander didnât bother to avoid his sister while changing clothes, so he didnât notice her blushing.
âPassed a flower shop on the way back, thought the flowers there were nice, so I bought some,â he replied indifferently. He took off his shirt, revealing his well-built arms and attractively lined back.
Hearing such a simple response, Purpleâs mood became somewhat unsettled.
Because, only when one truly cares about another, would they want to buy everything they see to share with that person.
After changing, Alexander turned around and found Purple still holding the flowers and daydreaming, which made him smile.
âWhatâs the matter, havenât woken up from your nap?â he pinched her face.
Purple tried to cover up and explained, âI was just thinking where to put the flowers to look niceâ¦â
âNo need to think about it, take it with us on the road,â Alexander said.
They planned to leave this evening; leaving the flowers at home would only cause them to wither, so it was better to take them and enjoy them on the journey.
Alexander swiftly packed his suitcase with decisive movements, only taking a few changes of clothes. Compared to the carefully prepared suitcases of Purple and Atra, his didnât look like it was packed for a long trip at all.
It was Zack Wallace who came to pick them up.
There were two cars sent. Alexander and Purple took one, while Atra took the other.
Although Purple had already accepted Alexander in her heart, she still felt scared sitting with him.
ââ¦It wonât really be dangerous, will it?â Purple was skeptical in her heart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Alexander didnât bring a bodyguard, Purple thought he was too arrogant, but when he did, she worried that being too high-profile might expose their whereabouts and lead to assassination.
âDonât worry, during the New Year period, shedding blood is against the firmly upheld tradition of the four major families,â Alexander soothed her, rubbing the top of her head. âNo matter how big the grudge, itâs settled after the New Year.â
âWhy?â Purple was puzzled.
âReunion days, wedding nights, these are moments of great joy in life. Causing trouble at such times will make one despised, so itâs considered kinder to act the next day,â Alexander explained.
âHow is that in anyway kind?â Purple felt even more confused after his explanation.
Alexander laughed: âEven the kindest people have a dark side to them, and even the most evil have their moments of mercy.â
Purple thought to herself that her current secret romance with her uncle was rather dark too.
She showed Alexander her darkest side, yet Alexander gave her all his mercy. Thinking like this, she felt she had gained something.
An hour later, the car entered the airport expressway and arrived at Clearwater City airport.
Alexander owned a private plane here. As soon as they got out of the car, there were people ready to carry their luggage.
The largest piece of luggage was Cleo, who was loaded into an extra-large pet crate. Even such a large crate was too cramped for Cleoâs body size, making it pitiful to think of her having to curl up during the several-hour flight, unable to stretch.
Tiny, on the other hand, was very energetic, bouncing around.
After boarding the plane, Atra found it odd and asked, âWhy are there so few people?â
âMaybe because itâs almost New Year, everyone has gone back to their hometown to celebrate, so the number of passengers on this route has decreased,â Alexander reasoned.
âI see,â Atra didnât think any further. She had become accustomed to taking her sonâs word as final over the years. Also, feeling a bit airsick and after taking medicine, she soon fell asleep.
