Chapter 649 There’s Something Important
When Quentin returned with the wine from the cellar, his attitude toward Alexander significantly changed. Not only did he warmly serve Alexander some food, but he also had a few drinks with Alexander. It truly felt as though he had married off his daughter.
Quentin had gotten a little drunk, so Layla helped him upstairs to wash up after dinner.
Meanwhile, Elise and Alexander sat on the sofa and cuddled against each other. The television was playing her recent coffee commercial that had just been released. The entire room was tranquil except for the sound of the television.
Alexander was enjoying his time alone with her. He had one hand wrapped around her shoulders while his other hand played with hers.
“Mama really likes you,” Elise spoke up suddenly.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly at those words, but he replied with a hint of regret, “It’s a pity that Papa is still…”
“You don’t need to worry about that.” She smiled brightly. “Didn’t you see that Mama wears the pants in the Fassbender Family? So, Papa’s opinions are no longer important.”
“Mama likes me only because she loves you so much.” Her words amused him, so he leaned over and pressed his forehead against her. “But, thank you. Wifey, you and your family, have been so kind to me.”
She put her arms around his neck and hugged him, nuzzling against his face like a little kitten. “They are also your family now.”
He returned her hug, deeply enjoying the familiar feeling of her body against his.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap… At this moment, Joey rushed downstairs with her laptop in her arms. When she reached the living room, she saw the two of them hugging each other. Thus, she hurriedly turned around and covered her eyes. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It wasn’t on purpose!”
Elise and Alexander looked at each other and smiled. Only then did they let go of each other and sat slightly apart. Then, she smiled faintly and asked, “What is it? Tell me.”
Joey turned around, walked over with her laptop, and sat on the sofa next to Elise. “Take a look at this. Somebody has nominated you as a candidate for the ‘National Goddess’. You’re among the top five right now!”
Elise glanced at the screen. The girls on the screen were indeed quite good-looking. Be that as it may, she didn’t pay much attention to this matter. “These voting systems have no practical significance. They are just gimmicks that the organizers use in order to attract the masses. There is no need to pay attention to this.”
“But your fans are already rooting for you and putting effort into increasing your popularity,” Joey said with a serious expression. “Are you sure you don’t want to post some nice-looking pictures so that they have materials to bring in votes?”
To be honest, Elise felt that most of her fans were very adorable. Although what she needed was a large-scale effort to attract popularity right now, she did not wish to use them in that manner.
“No need,” she said. “These kinds of election-type affairs can easily lead to fights between the fans. I don’t want my fans to get hurt. So, just leave it up to fate.”
“Alright then. I’ll relay your words to the hardcore fans,” Joey muttered.
“Huh?” Elise raised an eyebrow suspiciously. “Are you very close to the fans?”
“Hehe…” Joey scratched her head in embarrassment and gave a dry cough. Then, she sat up straight and announced proudly, “Let me formally introduce you. I am Lil Jojo, the leader of your fan club!”
“The leader of my fan club?” Elise was even more confused.
“Yup.” Joey nodded and looked at Elise innocently. “Ever since those obsessive fans almost harmed you, I’ve infiltrated your fan club and formed an Anti-Obsessive Fan Alliance. At present, I am the leader of this alliance. But, of course, there’s no helping it. I’m the little sister of an idol!”
Elise was so amused by her she almost started laughing. “Okay, as long as you’re happy. It’s just that you are all girls. Don’t put yourself in danger because of me. Do you understand?”
