Thinking of paying a visit to his grandmother, Allison patted her head as she suddenly reminded of something. She hastily got out of the bed, put on a pair of slippers and run towards the door. Alexander was bewildered at the moment. Yet she had run out of the room before he could figure out what she wanted to do.
Allison trotted downstairs and said hurriedly, “Lara, my parcel arrives today, have you received it?”
Lara nodded upon hearing the words, “Yep. I got several parcels and put them on the small balcony.”
Allison hastily ran towards the small balcony without even saying something to Lara.
She secretly heaved a sigh of relief when seeing the parcels on the balcony.
These were presents for Alexander’s grandmother. As she didn’t know which one suited her better, she bought several kinds of gifts.
Alexander followed her to the first floor, and then to the small balcony. When seeing that Allison was opening the parcels whole-heartedly, he asked with a helpless look, “What are you doing?”
Allison hastily turned around upon hearing him, used her body as a screen to block him from seeing the parcels, and replied in a weak tone, “These… These are the presents for grandma.”
Alexander was interested by her look and action, “What kinds of presents.”
“I don’t want to tell you. You’ll know it tomorrow.”
She reached out to push him towards outside as she was speaking.
Seeing her childish action, Alexander curled his lips into a smile helplessly, “All right, I’ll wait and see.”
Allison heaved a sigh of relief when he left. She came back to the small balcony, unwrapped the parcels, and then packed the gifts in gift boxes. After all these were done, she sighed in relief.
Since everything was prepared, she just needed to wait for the visit to his grandma tomorrow!
On the morning of the next day, Allison had been awake before the alarm rang. She washed herself in a hurry. Her heart had been thumping wildly early in the morning. She felt more nervous than when she was having an exam!
Allison didn’t come downstairs and have breakfast before everything was done. Just as she came downstairs, she saw Alexander sitting at the table, drinking coffee while listening to Bernard’s report.
Alexander nodded at Bernard when seeing her coming over. Bernard understood it and stepped aside.
Alexander spoke in a soft voice, “Have the breakfast first. We’ll set off later.”
“Well.”
Allison sat at the table absent-mindedly. She had no appetite in the face of such a delicious breakfast, which was quite rare. Just as she picked up a piece of bread and took two bites, Alexander put down his coffee and stared at her, smiling yet saying nothing.
Allison pulled herself back and hastily touched her cheeks, “What’s wrong? Is there anything on my face?”
Alexander seemed to be in a good mood. He asked, “Are you nervous?”
“No… Nope.” Allison denied it subconsciously, but her movements of stirring coffee still showed that she was flustered.
Alexander curled his lips into a smile, “Rest assured. Grandma is a very kind, she won’t eat you up.”
After finishing the words, he stood up and glanced at Bernard who was standing aside.
Bernard got his meaning and took a suit from aside, “Missus, you may change into this suit after the breakfast.”
It was a pink-colored Chanel style suit which looked elegant. It was a typical suit for ladies from rich families.
Allison took a bite at the boiled egg, lowered her head to take a glance at her white blouse, and then asked, “Am I dressing uglily?”
Bernard replied honestly, “It’s not ugly, but Ma’am may not like this style.”
Hearing the reply, Allison hastily stuffed the left half boiled egg into her mouth and took the suit, “I… I’ll go upstairs and change into this.”
A trace of smile crept onto Alexander’s eyes as he saw the woman running back to the bedroom.
