Alexander Summersâ eyes narrowed dangerously as he gazed down at the little baby beneath him.
Her eyebrows curved playfully, her bright eyes glittered, her lips were tender and delectable from his teasing, and her thick black hair framed her exquisitely delicate face like glossy jade, highlighting a soul-stealing charm.
âPurple Summers, do you know what happens when you question your manâs abilities?â Alexander Summersâ husky voice sounded almost threatening as he called her by her full name.
But Purple wasnât scared of him at all. In fact, she giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and playfully bit his chin, teasingly saying, âWhat happens? Itâs just the same old tricks over and over, right?â
Alexanderâs male pride felt provoked, and he was furious.
It was a sweet fury!@@novelbin@@
...
âIâm going to make you cry! Letâs see if you can still laugh later!â Alexander declared, his voice menacing.
He was like a domineering bandit, which only made Purple laugh harder.
â¦Later, she truly couldnât laugh anymore.
Alexander was true to his word and succeeded in making her cry. Afterwards, he shamelessly said he was fully satisfied.
Purple, flushed with mortification and indignation, pounced on him to fight, which inevitably just led to more advantages being taken by him.
However, after their playful struggle, all the pent-up emotions seemed to vanish, and she couldnât help but marvel at how effective their moments of solace were at relieving stressâ¦
The two lay in bed, nestled against each other, and Purple, feeling calm and content, brought up Nathaniel Summers.
âI donât know what he did, but he made Sheldon Fowler commit suicide by jumping off a building. I think it was a test, testing his own abilities, or something elseâ¦â Purple said, âBe careful, Iâm afraid he might harm you.â
Alexander wasnât concerned in the slightest, not taking Nathaniel seriously.
âSheldon had a history of drug abuse. The police think he jumped because he was high and not in his right mind. Donât overthink it, Nathaniel is just posturing. We donât need to pay him any attention.â
His nonchalant attitude calmed and steadied Purpleâs heart. The words she had been hesitant to say came out naturally: âHeâs changed a lot since he got back, all secretive. Today he even told me that Evelyn Willard is staying on Prosperity Street. We should move. Itâs uncomfortable living under the same roofâ¦â
Alexander remained unruffled, not showing the slightest reaction to Evelyn Willardâs name.
âLetâs move to the island for the New Year,â he said, his arms tight around Purple. âEventually Iâll pass Clearwaterâs reins to Damian Howard, and the world wonât know Roy Howard anymore⦠Purple, it looks like youâll need to change schools.â
At over thirty, Damian Howard was in his prime and with his improving health, he was the rightful person to lead the Howard Family. It wouldnât make sense for the young Thirteenth Young Master Howard to start living his retirement years so soon.
Purple looked up at Alexander: âWhere will you go?â
He smirked and nuzzled her, âThe whole coastal area of Pearlpoint and Parrotbeak Bay, which has been separated from Howard Corporation, belongs to my personal assets. Unfortunately, there arenât many good schools there. Iâm afraid youâre going to be inconvenienced.â
The entertainment and tourism industries thrive in coastal cities, especially in a gambling metropolis like Pearlpoint City, which typically lacks a strong cultural atmosphere and prestigious educational institutions.
Purple didnât mind and whispered softly, âItâs okay. Thereâs only half a semester left. Wherever you go, Iâll follow.â
âHmm, good girl,â Alexander murmured with a low chuckle, âWorth all the effort feeding you just now.â
With her face burning red, Purple pinched him in annoyance, âYouâre so bad!â
Alexander didnât fight back, just laughed. Laughed in such an infuriating way.
After fooling around in bed for a while, Purple drifted off to sleep unknowingly. Snuggled in his embrace, with his scent all around her, feeling his warm body temperature and strong heartbeat, she slept soundly and peacefully.
A night of good sleep.
