Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 5

Just then, the door was opened from the outside and Don Gibson had returned home. Don changed his shoes and walked straight into the kitchen without paying attention to what was happening in the living room. Allison shuddered as after talking for such a long time, she had forgotten to inform him. “President Parker, I…” She approached Alexander and spoke with a soft voice.

As she met his cold eyes, she immediately realized she had addressed him wrongly, yet she could not address her own boss by his name at the moment no matter how. She then pretended she did not notice anything and continued. “I haven’t told my parents that we have gotten the marriage certificate.” Hearing her words, Alexander did not show any fluctuation of emotion. He only nodded lightly to show he was informed.

“And…” Allison continued yet Don suddenly showed up behind her and interrupted her speech. “Oh Alice! Are we having a guest?” His deep and resonant voice shocked her so much that her heart was in her mouth. She turned and was about to complain, yet remembering Alexander was still at the scene, she said to Don while wearing a fake smile. “Dad, welcome back!” She then walked towards his side flatteringly and took the briefcase from his hand.

As Allison was ready to introduce Alexander to her father, Don walked past her and went straight towards Alexander. “Alex? Why did you come?” Alexander stood up and stooped a little while greeting him. “Hi sir.” Compared to Don’s hyperactive behavior, Alexander was always in a composed manner. It seemed like nothing could agitate or trigger him.

Don pulled him over and sat down. Without even lifting his head, he said to Allison, “Hurry up and take my Tieguanyin tea out.”

“You…” You knew each other? Allison was made a little baffled by the situation before her. Seeing her father acting like he had reunited with an old friend, it was obvious she could not interrupt their conversation. She could then only take the Tieguanyin tea out which was Don’s personal collection and brewed the tea in the kitchen.

“Mom, dad seems to know Pre…Alexander Parker.” Although the name Alexander Parker was not difficult to pronounce, she still found it difficult to adapt herself to say it. Jennifer was cleaning the prawns. Hearing her daughter’s words, she stopped what she was doing and glanced outside the kitchen, seeing Don’s happy face. She turned back and muttered. “Yeah. He seems to know him.”

Jennifer did not tell Don about organizing a blind date for their daughter. When she told him the guy their daughter met in the blind date was going to have a dinner with them, she was even scolded. Now it turned out they knew each other after all. Having thought of that, Jennifer’s smile grew wider and wider.
