Coolest Girl in Town

I agree that managing a household is challenging and that you can learn a lot from it. But can she at least take her eyes off of Alexander? Elise lowered her gaze as she tried to stifle her 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 she wants to act so immorally.

“Thank you, Miss Hawkins,” Elise decided to keep Sofia around, but Alexander snapped his head back to look at her with a frown after hearing her words. He spoke to her with his eyes. Can’t you tell that my mother left her in our house to cause trouble? His eyes seemed to say.

Elise only smiled at him, which made him more confused than ever. The more Alexander stared at her, the more he felt dejected. Has Elise fallen for Kenneth? Perhaps she doesn’t have feelings for my true identity anymore. Otherwise, how could a woman who loved her husband allow him to keep another woman at home? She must have fallen for Kenneth.

Alexander grew increasingly sad as he thought about this. “I’m not hungry. You guys can go ahead,” he uttered while standing up. After that, he pushed his chair aside before heading upstairs.

Alexander had never been a big eater, so Elise simply assumed that he wasn’t hungry. As she ate her meal, she thought about how she could make Sofia’s life miserable when she 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 him as she didn’t want to disturb him. Finally, when it was time for dinner, she knocked on the door gently as she passed by his door. “Why don’t you take a rest and have a meal with your wife, Mr. Griffith?”

chuckle to herself. I don’t get it. She’s a pretty girl—why can’t she just live her 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.

half-eaten sea cucumber. Sofia looked extremely uncomfortable as she watched them from a corner—she knitted her brows as she observed them. Madeline’s right, she thought. Elise knows no limits. She just forced Alexander to eat something he didn’t like. If he’s already so obedient during a regular meal, he probably listens to her when it comes to other things.
