Chapter 640

Elizabeth froze.

Then she looked at Alexander.

Alexander asked, "Him again?"

Even Alice asked, "Is it Uncle Matthew?"

Alice's eyes were still brimming with tears. She was a smart child, and these past few times, she had picked up bits and pieces.

To be more precise, Alice had pretty much figured it out in her heart.

Otherwise, at the Windsor Manor, she wouldn't have questioned Grandpa in that tone.

"He's so pitiful," Alice suddenly cried very sadly. "He loves Alice the most. He even let me ride the big horse. Uncle Matthew never had a father's love since he was little. Is Mommy going to abandon him too? He's so pitiful."

Elizabeth fell silent.

On the other end, the man's voice suddenly became very desolate. "Alice is crying?"

Elizabeth: "Matthew, is that you, Matthew? If it is, then I'm telling you, Alexander, your brother has been looking for you all along."

There was a long silence on the other end.

After a long while, what came through was a defeated, cold laugh. "I'm nobody! I'm just a cold-blooded killer. That day I ran into someone even more bloodthirsty than me who finished me off, so I'm no longer in this world!"

Elizabeth fell silent.

On the other end, the call had already been hung up.

Her heart also dropped with a thud.

After hanging up, Elizabeth turned to look at Alexander. "Alexander, that..."

Alexander said nothing.

His expression was very unpleasant.

Actually, his feelings were all mixed up inside.

He and his brother Matthew both had a kind of cold-bloodedness in their bones.

Matthew was cold-blooded and ruthless, and Alexander was even more cold-blooded and ruthless.

The reason he hadn't been so obvious lately, seeming to have changed a lot, appearing as gentle as a model husband—that was all because Elizabeth and Alice, mother and daughter, had softened him.

However, deep down inside, Alexander was still cold-blooded and ruthless.

He had no feelings for Matthew.

Even though they were twin brothers.

That still wouldn't make him develop more emotions for this brother.

What made Alexander soften a bit because of Alice was that, born of the same parents, at least he, Alexander, had enjoyed all of their mother's love. At least he, Alexander, possessed the entire Windsor Group. At least he, Alexander...

Had married Elizabeth and had Alice.

But what about his twin brother?

In the end, he had nothing.

Even Star Island, which he had relied on for survival, had been taken back by Alexander.

Now his brother was homeless, fleeing everywhere.

This was where Alexander couldn't bring himself to act against his own brother, but that was only when he was his brother.

If he were a rival in love, that would be a different story!

This rival not only liked Elizabeth, he also deeply loved Alice.

This was the most ruthless part of Alexander's heart.

Alexander just kept a stern face and said nothing.

Elizabeth could tell the man was very displeased, and Elizabeth knew that lately the man was getting more and more jealous, like a young boy in the throes of first love. So Elizabeth became more obedient too.

She stopped talking.

All the way home, the family of three was silent.

Once home, Alexander spent the entire afternoon in his study handling business.

Elizabeth idly played with Alice for a while, then helped Mia cook.

It wasn't until after dinner that Alice, very perceptively, washed up on her own and climbed into bed early, not even asking Mommy to put her to sleep.

Alice said very considerately to her mother, "Mom, go comfort Alexander."

Elizabeth laughed. "Little thing, what did you just call him?"

"Alexander," Alice said with a smile.

Elizabeth was puzzled. "Why are you suddenly calling your dad by his name? Watch out or your dad will spank you!"

Alice made a sound, then said slowly and deliberately, "He's usually my dad, but right now, when he's acting like a jealous little boy, he doesn't seem like my dad. He's like my buddy. Right now I know my buddy really needs your comfort, Mom."

Elizabeth had a look of sudden understanding. "So you're giving up the time when Mom usually puts you to sleep to your dad?"

"Exactly! Go on, Mom. Be nice to Alexander. Look how much Alexander loves you—he's crazy about you." The little girl was very good at talking like an adult.

Elizabeth poked her daughter's forehead. "You're really on your dad's side."

With that, she got up and left Alice's room, then returned to the master bedroom.

Alexander had already finished his shower. His bronze-toned muscular body still had clear water droplets on it. Combined with the cold expression he'd worn all day, it made Elizabeth unable to look away.

She was suddenly attracted to this man all over again.

Just like when they first started dating.

That coldness, that aloof CEO, keeping people at a distance, that restrained quality.

All kinds of descriptions applied to this man were not excessive.

Especially with his physique so strong.

Elizabeth had made up her mind today to humble herself and comfort Alexander properly.

"Well, look at you, so handsome. Confess honestly—how many girls have you charmed!" Elizabeth flirted with Alexander cheerfully.

Alexander was silent.

He didn't even glance at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth laughed again. "Hey! Handsome! Tell me, from childhood till now, how many girls have chased you? I promise I won't be jealous. My husband with this build, this height, these muscles—clearly from years of working out. Do the girls chasing you circle all of Sunwillow City?"

Alexander was silent.

He could really hold his ground.

Seeing the man still not speaking, just half-lying on the bed, slowly smoking a cigar, Elizabeth changed her approach.

She knelt on the other side of the bed, placed the man's legs on her lap, held them, and began massaging them bit by bit with just the right amount of pressure.

Her voice was incredibly gentle. "Is this pressure okay, honey?"

Alexander was silent.

Honestly, at this moment, his heart melted.

Seeing him not speak, the woman continued massaging. Her technique was really good—wherever she pressed immediately felt a relieving slight soreness, very comfortable.

Her attitude was so good it made him feel a bit overwhelmed.

As she massaged, she gently asked him, "How's that, honey? Feeling better? You're busy with so many things all day long. From now on, I'll massage you every day! Guaranteed no charge!"

After speaking, Elizabeth glanced at Alexander and saw that although he was smoking his cigar, his expression had softened considerably.

Elizabeth had a sudden inspiration. "I have my own plan too. Even though I'm massaging your legs for free, right? I can practice my skills. Maybe one day I'll become a professional masseuse. I could specialize in leg massages for people and make a living. I could feed myself."

"Don't you dare!" Alexander suddenly sat up straight.

Then with a flip, he had Elizabeth pinned beneath him. "From now on, you're not allowed to flirt with other men!"

Elizabeth: "I thought you'd gone mute today!"

"Your person, your heart—they can only be mine, forever mine. Do you hear me!" Alexander declared domineeringly.

Elizabeth answered gently and softly, "I know, honey."

As soon as her words fell, he leaned down over her.
