Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820 Let Him Be Our Daddy!

“This is a nice painting,” Alexander let out a small smile. “Thank you.” Upon hearing that, Jessamine hugged her two children in relief, and she had happiness written all over her face.

“Let’s take a photo together!” the videographer who was recording the event shouted to the people on the stage.

And so, the two children stood in the middle holding the painting, whereas Alexander and Jessamine each took a side, and they posed as a happy family for the photographers and reporters to take photos.

Alexander accepted all of this calmly, but his eyes were fixated at a spot in front of the stage.

There was already a crowd when Elise arrived. After taking her attendance, she walked to a nearly empty corner.

However, children were always extremely curious. Her kids kept pulling her, and it didn’t take her much effort to squeeze into the crowd.

It was at this moment that Alexander spotted Elise from the crowd at a glance.

She happened to be fluffing out her hair when she looked up and met his dark and deep eyes.

The woman who he had been thinking about for seven years was finally standing in front of him, alive and well. Alexander only managed to keep his expression impassive by clenching his fist in his pocket.

Elise’s eyes suddenly turned red and the tip of her nose stung.

As she looked at his tall figure from a distance across the crowd, she began to imagine that it was their family of four standing on the stage. At this moment, every goodbye they had to bid each other in the past seemed to be worth it.

It won’t be long before they would be able to publicly go back to being a family and live a simple, happy life together.

How Elise wished to rush on stage and carefully take in all his changes. Now that she saw how Alexander’s features had gotten sharper as she looked at him from a distance, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.

These few years must have been pure agony for him.

Worried that she would start crying, she quickly sniffled and swallowed her emotions.

Alexia raised her head when she heard the sound. “Mommy, why are you crying?” she asked.

“I’m alright,” Elise said with a smile. “Mommy is happy! I haven’t attended such a lively party in such a long time.”

“I am happy as well.” Alexia flashed a wide smile, with her eyes narrowed before she began to whine like the child that she was again, “But Mommy, can we go somewhere else? I can’t see anything!”

Elise then asked Irvin and Mimi to grab the hem of her skirt so that they wouldn’t run around, before she picked up Alexia.

“Wow!” The moment Alexia laid her eyes on Alexander, she seemed to have received the shock of her life as she pointed a finger to the stage. “Mommy, that man is super good-looking! Can we let him be our Daddy?!

As Alexia loudly uttered those words, most of the guests immediately whipped their heads at her.

Even Jessamine glanced at the girl from the stage, but it was only thanks to the photographer that she focused ahead and she retracted her gaze.

Spotting a helpless look on her face, Elise quickly covered the girl’s mouth with a hand.

There were people watching the fun and didn’t think it was a big deal, and they deliberately teased, “It seems that there will be a lot of children all over the country who will be scrambling to be Mr. Griffith’s sons and daughters after the Mrs. Griffith spot was filled in today!”

Elise merely shrugged at that. My kids are Alexander’s kids, she thought. There is no need for them to scramble for anything.

Still, she quickly brought the kids away with her in order to prevent more problems.

After a while, Elise led the children to the dining table when she saw Alexander get off the stage and walk toward the lounge.

“Irvin, watch the girls while you guys get something to eat. I have to go to the bathroom for a bit, but I will be back soon. Don’t run around, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Mommy. You can leave it to me,” Irvin said yes agreeably.

Elise continued to remind him a few more things before she finally left in the direction Alexander went off to.

Just as soon as she walked away, Mimi swiftly turned around and grabbed some desserts from the table and stuffed it in her mouth.

Irvin only looked at her, feeling resigned. “Do you like desserts so much? Aren’t you worried you will get chubby?”

Mimi innocently shook her head and passed the cake that she had taken a bite out of. “Have some, Irvin.”

“I’m fine.” He wasn’t interested in eating desserts at all. He only liked making them for the people he loved the most.
