Chapter 391 Let’s Get Them Home
At that, Elise finally smiled. She squeezed Alexander’s hand on her shoulder and nodded seriously. “Okay.”
“Really?” Alexander looked at her, pleasantly surprised. “You are willing to marry me? There’s no need for more observation?”
“You want me to refuse?” she joked.
“Of course not,” he said before he carried Elise. When she reacted, she was already lying on the bed. Then, Alexander attempted to remove her clothes, but he violently stopped and rose from Elise’s body.
Looking at her flushed cheeks, he couldn’t help but wish he could take her right now. However, he could not. The last time was an accident and from now onward, he would not simply do anything with her as she deserved perfection.
“Not yet,” Alexander said. “We have a long road ahead of us.”
With that, he carefully rearranged Elise’s clothes and retreated from the bed.
“I’ll wait for you outside.”
Afraid that Elise would be embarrassed, he took the initiative to open the door and walked out. Only then did Elise sit up on the bed, covering her hot cheeks and recalling the intensity of what happened earlier. In fact, if he wanted to, she would have given herself to him. However, it was also because of his self-control earlier that her bitter heart became unusually sweet all of a sudden. Then, she straightened her clothes and tidied her hair to quickly calm herself down.
Now that the matter of Elise being the daughter of the Anderson Family had come to light, Faye wouldn’t be able to sit still. Even if Elise did not fight with her for the assets, Faye would not allow her to exist like that next to her, which meant that Elise had to immediately stabilize the situation and think of a good way to deal with everything.
Thus, the two of them reentered the main hall together.
“Elise.” As soon as Jeanie saw Elise come in, she rushed forward in excitement while wringing her hands together. She did not dare to touch Elise, but only deliberately lowered her body to make herself slightly hunched over. “I’ve thought it over and everything is up to you. Whether you want to return or not, as long as it’s your wish, I’ll support you. I don’t want anything other than just to live with you. Can I stay with you?”
Elise looked at Jeanie’s already wrinkled face. She suddenly thought that even though she hadn’t seen Jeanie when she was younger, she could also imagine that Jeanie must have been a sight to behold.
“Mom,” Elise called softly.
Jeanie was surprised and as if she was afraid of mishearing Elise, she quickly asked, “What did you just call me?”
“Mom,” Elise called out again as a smile gradually appeared on her face.
“Ah!” An excited Jeanie looked at her as her eyes moistened at once. Even though she wanted to hug Elise very much, she forced herself not to. She knew that Elise wasn’t used to her presence yet and had not fully accepted the reality that they were mother and daughter. Until Elise had done so, she would not get used to physical contact with Jeanie, which was something Jeanie didn’t mind. She could wait; she had been waiting for more than ten years anyway, so what did it matter? As long as Elise was her daughter, even if she had to wait for a lifetime, she was willing to do that.
