Chapter 705 She’s Expecting, Can’t Tire Her Out
At this moment, Alexander walked toward them. He naturally wrapped his arm around Elise’s waist and stood beside her when he arrived.
“Mr. Forbes and Mr. Nixon, the contest has ended for quite some time. Why are you both refusing to let my wife go? “Alexander inquired, jokingly.
“Your wife?”
When Lorenzo heard that, he immediately released his grip on Elise’s arm and pushed his spectacles forward, examining Alexander from head to toe as if he were a threat.
He looks decent, with a satisfactory height as well. His figure seems alright too, and he doesn’t appear stupid.
Well, I guess he can be considered worthy of Elise.
Alexander detected disdain in Lorenzo’s gaze and pitifully asked, “Sir, do I look that bad?”
“That depends on who you’re comparing yourself to,” Lorenzo said, beating around the bush to express his displeasure.
Alexander took a deep breath and lightly pinched Elise’s shoulder. Looking at her, he then murmured, “Mr. Forbes is implying that you have poor taste in men. I’m different because I chose you as my wife, which has made me the luckiest man on the planet.”
The initially awkward situation was improved by Alexander’s seemingly joking words.
Lorenzo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and nodded. This guy has excellent emotional intelligence, he reasoned.
“If the both of you don’t mind, I need to take my wife back now. She is expecting and can’t be too tired,” Alexander smilingly continued.
“Huh?” Elise was taken aback upon hearing that.
Lorenzo and Andy, on the other hand, were stunned and stood frozen in place.
“What?!” Lorenzo was the first to regain his senses and he right away looked at Elise’s stomach before scolding Alexander, “How dare you?! She has not even graduated from college yet!”
Just as Elise wanted to explain that she wasn’t expecting, Alexander grabbed her and made the first move, “Sir, I couldn’t help myself. My wife is simply too stunning. I’m afraid she’ll dislike me for bothering her too much, so I can only have a child to distract my attention.”
“Men are indeed selfish!” Lorenzo scoffed and continued, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’re just trying to use the child to keep Elise by your side!”
As if he suddenly thought of something, he immediately went on in an agitated tone, “Elise, you have to promise me one thing—regardless of whether it’s a son or a daughter, you must let your child learn calligraphy from me!”
Lorenzo simply had to be the master of a genius at least once in his lifetime!
“Sir, you’re acting too quickly—” Andy said grudgingly.
“It’s none of your business. Get out of my way.” Lorenzo now only had the child of a genius in his eyes.
“I promise you that on behalf of Ellie,” Alexander replied cheerfully. “Under your tutelage, my child will undoubtedly make a name for himself.”
“But of course!” Lorenzo smiled happily until his wrinkles appeared.
“We’ll leave now, then?”
“Go ahead.”
Lorenzo straightforwardly let them go, his expression now friendly.
Elise and Alexander then turned around and made their way back. Just after a few steps, Elise asked softly, “Am I expecting? Why didn’t I know about it?”
He shushed her with a gesture and said, “They wouldn’t have let you go if I hadn’t said so!”
It turned out that both Lorenzo and Andy had been tricked by Alexander.
Learning that, Elise couldn’t control herself and laughed, but she immediately tried to keep her voice down.
She then guiltily turned around, only to see Lorenzo and Andy smiling widely.
That made her laugh again, and the couple both left the contest venue.

Meanwhile, Mica and Sebastian were shopping around the Food Street near the universities after they reconciled.
They entered a branded men’s clothing store, where Sebastian went into the fitting room to try on some clothes while Mica waited outside.
