Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 37

Allison was too surprised to find her tongue. She had never heard anyone mention that Alexander had a younger brother.

Judging from his expression, Andrew was not deceiving her. Besides, last time when she met him in the antique store, she felt that he somewhat looked alike Alexander, especially his brows and eyes.

Seeing she was still in a daze, Andrew didn’t urge her. He reached out his hand and chuckled. “Let’s make an official introduction to each other, shall we?”

Allison returned to her senses. She smiled at him. “Okay. I’m Allison Gibson. Nice to meet you.”

They shook hands and exchanged a smile with each other. Wondering why, Allison felt as if they were old friends when looking at him. She didn’t feel any awkwardness or embarrassment. Instead, she felt they were close.

She recalled the servant’s words to Doreen before lunch and figured out her puzzle. “By the way, why didn’t you come downstairs to have lunch with us together?” she asked.

“I like quiet and peace,” Andrew answered with a smile, a bitterness flashed through his face. “Besides, Alexander doesn’t like me...”

Allison was taken aback again. She didn’t expect to get such an answer. She wanted to continue asking about the reason but she didn’t think it would be appropriate, so she swallowed back the words.

Pausing for a moment, Andrew looked up her and asked her bitterly with hesitation, “How about you? Do you also dislike me?”

“Of course not!” Allison didn’t hesitate. She shook her head subconsciously. “You are a nice man. Otherwise how would you give me the pen you liked the other day? I bought that pen for my father and he loved it. I really should thank you for that!”

Hearing her words, Andrew suddenly had no gloomy and melancholy look on his face any longer. His lips curled into a smile, looking like a bright young man. “If you really want to thank me, why don’t you help me go downstairs? I want to go to the yard and sit in the sun.”

Without any hesitation, Allison said, “No problem!” She walked to Andrew’s back and held the handles of his wheelchair, pushing him down along the slope beside the stairs. The slope was obviously designed especially for the wheelchair. The wheels and rail tracks fit well, so even without her push, Andrew could get downstairs steadily.

Allison didn’t think that much. She just slowly pushed him downstairs while chitchatting with him. Andrew laughed loudly. He could always catch up with her topics and extend them. They had a lot of things in common to talk about.

After they got downstairs, Allison noticed that a servant looked at them in a weird way not far away, panic flashing through that servant’s face. Before she understood what had happened, she raised her head and saw Alexander standing at the door of the balcony, staring at them afar. The gleam of light in his eyes was icily cold and scared Allison.

Right then, Andrew looked back at her and said with a slight smile, “Alice, thanks. I can handle it myself now.”

Allison panicked. She answered him with a nasal sound and walked to Alexander. Recalling that Andrew said Alexander disliked him earlier and seeing Alexander’s look now, she felt more uneasy.

Walking to the man, she asked softly, “Have you done with your company business?”

“Ehn.” Alexander answered her coldly, turned around, and walked towards the entrance without any hesitation.

Allison was stunned for a second. Seeing that he was about to walked out of the entrance, she suddenly came back to her senses and hurried to catch up with him.

She trotted all the way and followed him to the small path in the yard. Reaching out her hand, she grabbed the man’s arm to stop him. “We haven’t said farewell to Grandma. Is it appropriate to leave like this...”

“No need,” Alexander uttered two words coldly, still kept moving forward. Allison had no choice but walked out of the yard with him. Then she rushed to get into the car.

She could tell that Alexander was angry and it was serious.

Bernard, who was bored while standing next to the car, opened the door in a hurry and got in the driver’s seat. He asked, “Mr. Parker, where are we going?”

With a gloomy face, Alexander said, “Back to my villa.”
