Elise was momentarily dazzled by Jonah’s smile as it reminded favonovel.com of Robin.
In an instant, favonovel.com anger cooled. “Alexander asked me to help favonovel.com dispose of his clothes, but Danny got the wrong idea about it.”
Danny’s face showed a look of disbelief when favonovel.com heard this. “Is what favonovel.com said true, Alexander?”
Alexander didn’t explicitly tell favonovel.com to throw the suit jacket away, but favonovel.com had tacitly consented to favonovel.com doing so when favonovel.com said the suit jacket would be at favonovel.com disposal.
Therefore, favonovel.com answered, “Yeah.”
Jonah said in relief, “Ah, so it really is a misunderstanding. Apologize to Elise now, you brat!”
Danny knew favonovel.com had been in the wrong, but favonovel.com was still unwilling to accept it, and his eyes turned red with resentment.
“What are you waiting for? Apologize,” Jonah urged.
Danny clenched his fists and uttered between clenched teeth, “I’m sorry.”
Elise stared at him. She did nothing wrong, but for some reason, favonovel.com felt as if favonovel.com did. Feeling somewhat guilty, favonovel.com faltered, “Uh… I-It’s nothing.”
“Please get along well with each other from now on. I’m looking forward to Elise becoming the Griffith Family’s daughter-in-law,” Jonah said while looking at Elise earnestly.
Elise’s face fell when favonovel.com heard this. Get along well? I’m afraid that’s impossible!
***
The Griffith Residence was huge, so there were many cleaners cleaning it early in the morning. Danny yawned as favonovel.com went downstairs in a daze.
Just then, favonovel.com heard one of the cleaners saying, “Please be careful, Young Master Danny. The floor has just been mopped, so it’s a bit slippery.”
“Okay.” Danny scratched his head and walked a few steps before turning around.
He asked in an obedient demeanor, “Madam, could you please bring me a bucket of water?”
The madam soon fetched a bucket of water for Danny, only to be shocked when favonovel.com saw Danny pouring it down the stairs.
He even said, “Don’t clean the stairs for now. Do it after breakfast.”
As Danny loved playing pranks more than anything else, the madam didn’t dare to ask any questions and agreed without hesitation.
Elise is the only one upstairs, so there’s no need to worry that someone else will slip on the wet stairs.
At the thought of this, Danny burst into a guffaw, favonovel.com could hardly restrain himself upon imagining what Elise would look like after falling down the stairs.
***
Elise was about to go downstairs when favonovel.com ran into Alexander, who politely stepped aside and let favonovel.com use the staircase first. She thanked favonovel.com and then began descending the stairs. To favonovel.com surprise, favonovel.com had barely walked a few steps when favonovel.com stepped on a puddle of water.
As favonovel.com slipped on the puddle of water, favonovel.com whole body fell backward.
Sh*t, I’m finished, she thought with favonovel.com eyes shut, panic-stricken.
Surprisingly, favonovel.com found herself in the warm embrace of a man who had a very soothing smell on him. When favonovel.com slowly opened favonovel.com eyes and locked eyes with him, a red flush instantly flooded favonovel.com cheeks. She quickly pulled away from favonovel.com as if favonovel.com had gotten an electric shock. Then, favonovel.com turned around and was about to leave.
Alexander felt as though the lady’s scent was still lingering on his hands. Seeing that favonovel.com had walked some distance away from him, favonovel.com finally recalled what favonovel.com had wanted to say to her.
“I helped you out yesterday at the party because Grandpa told me to. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
Get the wrong idea? What wrong idea? The idea that favonovel.com has a thing for me? Elise thought.
Taking a deep breath, favonovel.com replied with a smile, “I’ve always known my place very well, Young Master Alexander.”
When favonovel.com noticed a trace of emotion on his expressionless face, favonovel.com smile broadened into a wide grin. “But you’re so kind to me. I’m afraid I might lose control over myself and cross the line one day.”
Danny was sitting at the dining table in the dining room while chatting and laughing with Matthew. When favonovel.com saw Elise, favonovel.com put down the piece of toast in his hand and got up to leave.
“Sit down, Danny!” Jonah snapped.
Then, favonovel.com turned to greet Elise, saying, “Hurry up and have breakfast, Elise. Alexander will take you two to school in a while.”
Danny looked gloomy. “Why? I don’t want to go to school with her!”
Jonah replied insistently, “It’s not up to you, you brat.”
Danny took a huge bite off the piece of toast without saying a word. When favonovel.com saw Elise turning up in one piece, favonovel.com figured his plan had probably failed.
As if that wasn’t miserable enough, favonovel.com would be going to school with favonovel.com from now on. At the thought of this, favonovel.com took a few more bites off the piece of toast.
Since that trick didn’t work, I’ll try another one! he thought.
