Chapter 549 What Kind of People Are We?

Hearing that, Elise walked out of the villa to the side of the car and paused all of a sudden after opening

the door. As though something just came into her mind, she hesitated, tossed the key in her hand on the

passenger seat, and shut the door. Then, she started to walk out of the neighborhood.

In the villa, Kenneth watched as she walked further and further away with a complicated glimmer in his

deep-set eyes.

Elise, go ahead and do everything you want bravely. With me to back you up, everything will be alright.

After Elise walked out of the neighborhood, she didn’t catch a cab immediately. Instead, she continued to

pace along the street, walking aimlessly. With this rare moment by herself, she had enough time to think

about things.

Many things were on her mind, including drawing the snake out of its nest, Alexander, and the Saunders

Family. When she had straightened out her mind, she suddenly snapped back to her senses and

realized that everything was more or less connected to Kenenth.

Stopping, she finally saw the truth for what it was after a few seconds. Without her realizing, Kenneth

had already secretly taken a spot in her heart.

Even though she kept rejecting and avoiding it, it was all futile.

After hopping out of the cab, Elise went straight into Alexander’s courtyard house.

Instead of seeing him, she saw Danny, who stopped her in her path.

“Elise!” Pacing toward her, he asked in an irritating manner, “Did that Bailey do anything mean to you?”

“What can he possibly do to me?” Stopping in her tracks, she stared at him deeply. That look in her eyes

was clearly frustration from having her thoughts read like a book, but she was unaware about it herself.

Startled by her glare, Danny’s neck stiffened, and he gulped before speaking again. “I’m just worried

about you.”

Only then did she notice that she had acted out of the norm, and she lowered her eyes as she said

apologetically, “I’m alright.” Then, she asked after a short pause, “Where’s Alex?”

“He’ll be back soon,” he answered. “Why don’t you wait for him inside?”

In reply, Elise gave him a nod and went toward Alexander’s room. Behind her, Danny let out a sigh of

relief with a guilty conscience.

In truth, he couldn’t get in touch with Alexander and didn’t know when he would be back. However, he

really wanted the both of them to spend some time together, so he decided to tell a small white lie.

In the meantime, Elise pushed open the door to Alexander’s bedroom, and immediately after stepping in,

a special scent belonging only to him drifted up her nose. It was a light scent of grass and flowers, which

was very comfortable, and for some unknown reason, this scent made her feel really nostalgic, and she

was reluctant to leave.

After waiting for a while, she became tired and fell asleep on the bed.

As she had always been a light sleeper, she heard the sounds of light footsteps nearing her during

midnight. Even though that person was on his tiptoes and didn’t want to disturb her, she was still

awakened by it.

Opening her eyes, she saw Alexander crouching next to the bed, looking at her with affection in his

gentle, dark eyes.

“You’re back.” She rolled over, hugged his arm which was next to the pillow, and closed her eyes,

continuing to sleep.

A graceful smile spread across Alexander’s face, and he used his other hand to smoothen her messy

hair. “Why did you fall asleep here?”

Hearing his voice, she suddenly got up and hugged him around his neck. Like a kitten, she leaned in

close to him and acted coquettish in his arms. “I just missed you.”

Alexander’s neck and chin were so tickled by her that his ears burned red in a second, and his heart

turned mushy along with it. Then, he sat on the side of the bed and held her up before returning her into

his arms in a more comfortable position.

“Were you treated badly at the Saunders, and that made you feel sad?” he asked softly.

Elise shook her head. “I haven’t cared about such a small thing since a long time ago.”

“No matter what, I’ll get back the justice you deserve on your behalf, Ellie.” Softly, he planted a kiss on

her forehead and changed the topic naturally. “I’ve found Claude, and he’ll be back soon.”

Hearing that, she suddenly popped her eyes open and jolted awake. Has he been so busy recently that

he barely had any sleep because he was busy with my affairs? But I… seem to accept Kenneth more

and more.

Never before had Elise felt that she was actually so undeserving of Alexander.

“But something unexpected happened, and Claude may not be able to perform the surgery on your

brother right away,” Alexander said hesitantly.

Sitting up in his arms, she asked in confusion, “Why? Is he injured?”

“No,” he answered. “It seems like he changed a lot when he left this time. Anyway, he showed a lot of

resistance toward me and wasn’t very cooperative. So, I had to bring him back by force.”

The light of hope which had just ignited in Elise went out again as she muttered, “Why did it turn out like

this?”

“I’m not sure for now,” Alexander said. “Maybe you can tell what the problem is if you meet him

personally.”

She gave him a nod. “That’s true. Let’s arrange for a meeting right away once he has arrived.”

“Okay.” He agreed.

Listening to the gentle tone in his voice, Elise suddenly noticed the tiredness within. Raising her slender

hand, she then placed it on his cheeks and stroked him gently, following the outline of his face.

When she felt his chin, the subtle stubble felt a little scratchy to her palms, and she frowned, feeling sorry

for him. “How long have you not slept?”

“Just two days and one night. It’s not a problem. I’ll rest a couple more days this time I’m back,” he

assured.

She knew that he didn’t want her to worry, so she decided to go along with him and didn’t expose him as

she held him around the waist and buried herself in his embrace.

Besides a hug, it seemed like there was nothing else she could give him. This was simply way too little.

In the afternoon, Elise saw Claude, who was carried through the door with his limbs tied up.

When her eyes met his, she actually saw a deep sense of hatred in his eyes.

Standing in front of him, she lowered her gaze at him and scanned him. “What are you up to?” she asked

with raised brows.

Haughtily, he turned his face the other way, not answering her. For anyone who didn’t know, they would

think that Elise was his biggest enemy.

Narrowing her eyes, she recalled the thing which interested him the most in the past and tried to sense

him out. “Perform a surgery for me and I’ll look for three of the rarest herbs for you.”

“Save it.” He turned her down directly. “Riches wouldn’t lure me, poverty wouldn’t change me, and power

wouldn’t break me. Even though I can’t beat you in a fight, I still have my bottom line. I won’t treat people

like you!”

“What kind of people are we?” Amused, Elise thought that no matter how she looked at Claude now, he

just appeared like a stubborn old man from ancient feudal times.

His eyes drifted across her, and he snorted instead of saying anything.

He didn’t need to say anything to make his point.

But these unspoken connotations ticked her off, and she couldn’t help but raise her hand at him. Luckily,

Alexander dragged her away.
