Chapter 519: Chapter 518: 518 I Want to Marry You_1

When Alexander Summers arrived at the bridal shop, he saw Purple Summers sitting alone on the leather sofa, her face flushed red.

The sofa was champagne-colored, and her dress was snow-white. Sitting there, her skirt spread out like a fishtail, accentuating her exquisite figure and fair skin that was as pale and luminous as jade, stunningly beautiful to the heart.

At that moment, Alexander hesitated in his steps, clenched his fists and restrained himself multiple times before managing not to pin her down on the sofa and kiss her intensely.

“Why are you here alone?” Alexander walked over, pretending to be composed.

Purple Summers’s expression was subtle, “Lily Howard… and Sarah, are in the fitting room.”

Alexander’s brows furrowed; he hadn’t thought much about it, only feeling that Lily Howard was unreliable for leaving Purple Summers here alone.

“Let’s go,” said Alexander, “We don’t need to wait for them, we’ll go back first.”

In fact, Purple Summers also wanted to leave, feeling extremely awkward. She had only been waiting out of politeness, not wanting to leave without saying a word.

Thank goodness Alexander came!

Purple Summers got up to prepare to change her clothes, just as Lily Howard and Sarah came out of the fitting room. Sarah’s face was flushed and she was smiling sweetly, her lips pursed.

When Lily Howard saw Alexander, she was first taken aback, then smiled and said, “That was quick, wasn’t it?”

Alexander’s face turned dark instantly.

Lily Howard was startled, quickly adding, “I mean, you came here so soon…”

Some explanations, no matter how well-intended, only make things worse.

Alexander simply took Purple Summers and left.

It is an open era, many countries have consecutively recognized the legality of same-sex marriages.

But legal acceptance does not mean that individuals, like Alexander, for instance, do not harbor resistance.

Actually, he hadn’t felt strangely towards such people before, neither liking nor despising them. However, when Lily Howard really came back from France and he saw her laughing, talking, or engaging in seemingly friendly physical contact like a handshake with Purple Summers, Alexander felt exceptionally irritable!

He felt Lily Howard was like a rat droppings; even if it hadn’t fallen into the pot, just being placed aside, its stench could contaminate the pure and glossy rice porridge that was Purple Summers!

He earnestly cautioned the “rice porridge,” “Keep your distance from her in the future!”

Purple Summers asked, “Should I still attend the engagement party then?”

“Stop mentioning ‘engagement party’ this and ‘engagement party’ that,” Alexander explained impatiently, “The marriage contract with her is only a verbal agreement, which can be annulled as easily as it was formed. The banquet next month is primarily to host Old Master Howard and let him see Lily Howard for himself. Rather than calling it an engagement party, it’s more like a family dinner!”

“Don’t get agitated,” Purple Summers said softly, somewhat embarrassed.

Alexander was taken aback.

Then he realized he had indeed been too intense.

He regained his composure, sighed softly, and pulled Purple Summers into his embrace, his forehead resting on her shoulder, his voice unexpectedly somber, “I want to marry you.”

Especially when he entered the bridal shop, and saw Purple Summers in a white dress, at that moment of stunning beauty, it nearly took his soul away.

How he wished that one day, she would wear a white veil for him!

“What if we just go abroad and get the wedding done first!” Alexander suddenly said eagerly.

“That’s not good,” Purple Summers murmured with a blush, her voice soft, “I’m not ready yet…”

It wasn’t just her who wasn’t ready; he was the same. Both she and he had their own unfinished business.

Alexander’s arms tightened suddenly, holding her close.

Purple Summers shifted awkwardly and complained softly, “Loosen up a bit, I can barely breathe…”

Alexander relaxed his hold a little and sighed, “I always feel that if I relax even slightly, you’ll fly away.”

“How so?” Purple Summers laughed, believing she was already trapped by Alexander and teasingly said, “Unless you do something to betray me!”

Alexander was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, “The thing I’m most sorry for in my life is not having secured you sooner.”

As he spoke these words, there was infinite regret, as though he was mourning his youthful days and sighing over the arrangements of fate.

Purple Summers didn’t understand.
