Chapter 577 What Do You Think?
Elise ran out of the room with red eyes, whereas Alexander walked up to her and wrapped his long arms around her in an embrace.
“Did Grandpa reprimand you?” he asked in a soft voice.
She leaned against his chest, nuzzling him like a kitten. “No.”
“Why are you crying, then?” He let go of her.
She took out the key that Robin gave her and showed it to him on her palm. “Look.”
“What’s this?” he asked.
“The key to the safe at home. Grandpa said that the Sinclair Residence will be under our care from now on, but I’ll be holding the key,” she explained.
Alexander laughed. “Grandpa sent me away to give you retreat against contingencies, but you divulge it to me the next second.”
She beamed at him. “But that’s how a husband and wife are supposed to be—we have to be honest and sincere to each other. I don’t want to hide anything from you.”
Alexander’s gaze deepened. Then, he reached out his arms to embrace her, gently rubbing his chin on her fluffy head.
“Ellie, I know that I’m supposed to be truthful to you, but there are some things that I have to do without revealing my identity to you for now. However, I hope you can believe me when I say that I will never harm you and will always love you regardless of my identity and who I become. I promise that you will be the only exception in my life—only you and no one else.”
Elise hugged him back and exhaled in relief. “I believe in you.”
Both Alexander and her were not ordinary people, for they each had their respective responsibilities and missions. Since there was no backing out, they should become each other’s strongest support.
Given the fact that they had chosen each other, she should have faith in him.
“Speaking of which.” Elise suddenly remembered about the Elite Class. “Tissote University is collaborating with an overseas organization, and they’ve recently started a physics class that guarantees the students a place in an overseas degree. I intend to apply for the class to see if I can uncover the organization behind this scheme.”
“Okay. Do you need me to pull some strings?” he asked.
“I’ll just fill in the application form. Although I’m a liberal arts student, I should be able to get in with my academic results.” Elise spoke with confidence.
“I see. Well, I shall wish my wife a smooth transfer.”
The way he addressed Elise as his wife was rather refreshing yet embarrassing. In comparison to that, even an intimate interaction such as an embrace seemed normal and usual.
As Elise leaned against him languidly in his embrace, both of them enjoyed the leisurely time with each other’s company.
While Elise was filling in the form, Alexander took his phone and made a call in the backyard.
“Mr. Hass, it’s me, Kenneth Bailey.” Alexander spoke with his fake voice.
“Mr. Bailey? It’s rare for you to have the time to call me.” Leon was rather surprised.
“I heard that the Tissote University is going to set up an elite class, am I right?” Alexander went straight to the point.
“That’s true. How can I help you with that?” asked Leon respectfully.
