Chapter 642

Alexander's expression was ice-cold, but in an instant, his hands had pinned Elizabeth beneath him.

At the same time, Alexander's breath rushed over her face: "My grandmother and your mother both gave me orders!"

Elizabeth fell silent.

Before she could react, she was already pinned beneath Alexander.

"No, I have to work tomorrow." Before Elizabeth could finish her sentence, Alexander silenced her with a kiss.

When things had already reached this point, did she really have a choice?

The next day.

The man woke up quite early, but Elizabeth wasn't so lucky.

After two nights of his relentless attention, her body truly felt like it was falling apart.

"No, you're taking the day off!" Alexander said.

"No!" Elizabeth immediately objected: "I've taken enough days off lately. People at the company already think I'm acting spoiled because I'm Simon's cousin. I'm not taking time off!"

No matter what, Elizabeth knew the importance of work.

A woman couldn't be without her own job, without her own focus.

And at work, she had to be serious and careful, without any sloppiness.

She forced her body to get up, walking a bit unsteadily. After washing up and coming out of the bedroom, the man had already finished breakfast.

"I can't go with you to drop off Alice today. I'll drive to the office myself. It's Monday, and there's an early meeting at the company. You take your time eating, it's okay to be a bit late. Don't wolf down your food. Be good and drink this tonic that Grandma made, then take Alice to school, and then go to work!" Before leaving, Alexander gave these orders to Elizabeth in a tone that left no room for discussion.

After saying this, he got up and went to the entrance, took his briefcase, changed his shoes, and went downstairs.

Elizabeth fell silent.

Alice beside her: "Mommy, are you very tired?"

Elizabeth sighed: "It's all your dad's fault!"

"Mommy, don't blame Daddy. I'll help carry your bag when you go to work later." The little one was increasingly taking her father's side.

Alice had gotten up earlier than her mother, so naturally she finished eating faster. After her meal, she obediently went to the entrance to set out her mother's shoes, and she also knew her mother's bag was on the bench by the entrance.

Elizabeth, who was drinking bird's nest soup, was amazed.

"Baby, come let Mommy give you a kiss." Elizabeth called out.

Alice obediently came to her mother and let her kiss her.

"Mommy, I need to give Juliana a gift in return today. What should I give her?" Alice asked.

Elizabeth fell silent.

Mentioning Juliana made Elizabeth think of those two soft lollipops Juliana had given Alice.

Happy Grandpa Jones.

There should be more than one family with the surname Jones in Sunwillow City, right?

It couldn't be that much of a coincidence, could it?

Elizabeth had questions in her mind. She thought that when she got to work, she would ask Simon if the Jones family had any other relatives.

"Mommy? Mommy?" Alice called again.

Elizabeth snapped back: "Baby?"

"Mommy, what gift should I give Juliana in return?"

Elizabeth smiled: "Baby can give her good friend whatever gift you want."

"Mommy, I want you to give Juliana a kiss, the same kind of kiss you just gave me. Can you?" Alice asked.

Elizabeth froze for a moment.

Then asked: "Baby, why are you asking Mommy this?"

"Because Juliana thinks my mommy is really nice, that my mommy is gentle and loves me, but her mommy is a bit cold. Her mommy never kisses her on the forehead."

Elizabeth fell silent.

"Can you, Mommy?" Alice pressed.

Elizabeth: "Yes, Mommy promises you, I'll give Juliana a kiss. But I don't know if her mommy will agree. If her mommy doesn't agree, we can't force it, understand?"

Alice nodded: "Okay!"

After eating, mother and daughter went downstairs together. The driver Gavin was waiting for them downstairs.

"Good morning, Gavin." The little one was very polite. She was already quite familiar with Gavin now.

Gavin also smiled: "Good morning, Miss Windsor. Good morning, ma'am."

Elizabeth nodded slightly and got in the car. After they had driven for a while, Elizabeth finally spoke: "Gavin, the day before yesterday, at the Windsor Manor entrance, when that man was hitting people and making a scene, you saw it all?"

Gavin didn't dare hide anything: "Yes, ma'am."

He was a smart man. Before Elizabeth could ask anything else, Gavin had already started speaking: "Mr. Windsor has been looking for him recently. Looking for his twin brother. But as you know, ma'am, the person we're looking for isn't just anyone—he's his own brother."

"If we push too hard, we're afraid he'll run."

"But if we don't push hard enough, look at him now—he's so arrogant he's come directly to Sunwillow City to cause trouble. To be clear, if Mr. Windsor hadn't told his people they absolutely couldn't lay a hand on him, do you think he could have succeeded time after time?"

Elizabeth fell silent.

Gavin was right.

If Alexander really made up his mind to capture Matthew, Matthew wouldn't be so reckless.

"However," Gavin continued, "if that Mr. Windsor keeps causing trouble like this, Mr. Windsor definitely won't stand by anymore. Besides, Mr. Windsor was already looking for him. Now that he's delivered himself to our doorstep, it's even better."

"Will he die?" The little one, Alice, suddenly asked.

Gavin could see in the rearview mirror that Miss Windsor's eyes were red.

After all, there was a blood relationship.

During those days Miss Windsor spent on Star Island, her uncle had treated her like his own daughter.

The child was sentimental.

Gavin immediately comforted her gently: "Miss Windsor, don't worry. Your Uncle Pan definitely won't die, because he and your daddy have the same father and the same mother."

Alice stopped crying: "Just like me and my future brothers and sisters?"

Gavin nodded: "Yes, Miss Windsor."

Hearing this, Elizabeth's face immediately turned red.

Gavin was very perceptive and immediately changed the subject: "Ma'am, Miss Windsor, you don't need to worry too much. The reason Mr. Windsor is working so hard to find that Mr. Windsor is also to arrange things properly for him. After all, they're the closest twin brothers in this world. Mr. Windsor won't do anything bad to Mr. Pan."

Elizabeth smiled slightly: "I understand."

Alice also said politely: "Thank you, Gavin."

"No problem. Sit tight, I'm going to speed up." After dropping off Alice and Elizabeth, Gavin had more important matters to attend to.

The car accelerated and soon arrived at the kindergarten.

Alice got out first, with Elizabeth following behind.

Little children have sharp eyes. Alice spotted Juliana from very far away. She ran while shouting: "Juliana, Juliana, I have a gift for you today. Guess what it is—it's a surprise."

Juliana was being led by her mother and was about to enter the school gate when she heard Alice's voice.

She immediately turned around.

Juliana's mother also turned around. She looked at Elizabeth and Alice with a cold expression.

Elizabeth walked up graciously to greet her: "Ms. Radcliffe, hello!"

Juliana's mother: "Sorry, I'm not well!"
