Before Elise could finish her sentence, Alexander stepped forward right away and closed in on her, driving her into the corner. “Why? Why did you purposely make yourself look ugly? Don’t you know what I hate the most?” Elise knew what he hated the most, which was why she chose to take the initiative to tell him everything. However, whenever she wanted to tell him the truth, something would always come up and prevent her from doing so. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to deceive you; I just wanted to find a man who doesn’t care about my looks and really loves me from the bottom of his heart.

 

At first, I planned to leave after staying here for a year, but I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that I would fall in love with you.” Alexander’s brow furrowed. He stared at Elise before him, who seemed at a loss for what to do, but he couldn’t let a single word of accusation come out of his mouth. “So you were the lady I met in France the other day, huh? Miss Joy?” “It was me! Uh, actually…” Elise still wanted to say something, but Alexander stretched out his hand right away and stroked her hair.

“I didn’t think you’d be so good at disguising yourself. To think that you fooled me with your disguise!” Elise raised her eyes to look at him. “A-Are you not mad at me anymore?” Alexander smiled a helpless smile. “Well, I wanted to get mad at you, but somehow, all my anger seemed to vanish when I saw this face of yours.” “I’m sorry.” Alexander ruffled her hair. “Alright, don’t say sorry to me. I can understand what you were thinking, actually, and I’m glad that I made you stay and saw the surprise you had for me. I really didn’t expect my fiancée to look so pretty! I’m quite happy deep down, actually. At least no one can gossip with me about your looks anymore.” Elise pouted her lips.

her sentence, though, Alexander sealed her lips with a kiss. She immediately slapped his shoulder, saying, “Mmm… Let go of me!” Alexander replied, “I’ve never disliked you before, Elise. I never disliked you and will never do that in the future either, so don’t say something like that anymore. You’ve got no idea that when I saw your face, I started to worry that other men would like you and have eyes for you. I wish I could

you talking about?” “You have no idea how many surprises you’ve given me. Sometimes I wonder what kind of a fabulous girlfriend I have. I think I got a great bargain!” Elise reached out and held his hand. “Thanks, Alexander. Thanks for choosing me.” Madeline was quite happy at first when she saw Alexander and Elise quarrel. However, when it was time for dinner, the couple had already made up, and they were getting along much better than before. This made Madeline puzzled as to what young people nowadays were thinking. She called Elise over, saying,

Madeline rubbed her shoulder, saying, “I don’t know what’s wrong, but I keep feeling sore in my arm. Could you help give me a massage if you’ve got nothing to do?” Seeing that it wasn’t a big deal, Elise replied in agreement, “Sure, Mrs. Griffith. Let’s sit on the sofa while I give you

Madeline’s neck nonetheless. Madeline searched for something on her cell phone before she said, “Elise, your engagement to Alex was decided by Dad. He passed away unexpectedly without any last words, but he insisted that

angry, she merely asked, “In your opinion, Mrs. Griffith, what kind of woman is good enough for your family?” Just then, Madeline happened to find a picture of her business partner’s only daughter, who was also her previous favorite candidate for a daughter-in-law. Without the slightest hesitation, she showed the photo to Elise on her

Indeed, the lady looked very beautiful and refined. “You’re right, Mrs. Griffith. I’m not good enough for Alex indeed. In that case, why don’t you ask him to call off the engagement on his own?” Madeline became furious when she heard Elise say so. Alexander’s engagement was decided before Jonah’s death, and as Alexander’s mother, Madeline

Alex’s a filial child, so he won’t disobey his grandpa.” However, Elise retorted, “Do you mean you could only try to persuade me—an outsider who has no blood ties with your family—because you failed to persuade your own son?” “I just want you to know your place!
