Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 7

Alexander was a man of his words. The next morning he appeared at the residential area where Allison was staying and was waiting downstairs.

Under Jennifer’s urges, Allison changed into a plain white T-shirt, and she could only dangle a steamed-bread from her mouth before hastily making her way downstairs.

The car that was waiting for her was the same luxurious Maybach.

Under the burning gaze of some onlookers, Allison walked towards the car.

Bernard who was standing by on one side pulled the car door open while greeting her politely, “Missus, good morning.”

Allison really couldn’t get used to such a title imposed on her, so she smiled awkwardly in his direction before getting into the car.

After getting into the car, her attention was captured by Alexander who was sitting next to her.

Today, Alexander was wearing a suit which was jet black in color. The top most buttons had not been buttoned up, and with a clear view of his Adam’s apple, his appearance today gave him a look of abstinence. Her heart somehow quivered at this sight.

She always knew that Alexander was a looker, but now she knew that he could even be so seductive.

Allison started to have unscrupulous thoughts a moment after.

Alexander was initially studying a document in front of him, but because Allison was almost boring a hole in him with her passionate gaze, he couldn’t help looking up suddenly and met her eyes.

When Allison saw the coldness in his eyes, she abruptly snapped back to reality as she immediately drooped her head.

She was flushed all over and she even felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside it.

Alexander acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He immediately shifted his gaze back to his documents.

Throughout the journey, the car was overwhelmed by dead silence. Although Allison looked like she was watching the passing scenery outside the window, her thoughts were still stuck on the previous scene and Alexander’s gaze.

She was so far removed from the world that she didn’t even notice the car rolling to a stop. Bernard had to remind her.

“Missus, we have arrived.”

Bernard opened the door on Allison’s side while holding out his hand to gesture her to step out of the car.

Allison got out of the car and half-expected Alexander to follow suit, but contrary to her expectation, the car sped away immediately right in front of her, leaving her with Bernard by themselves.

Allison was instantly seized by confusion. Weren’t they supposed to go to their new house together?

Bernard who was standing next to her could see through her mind as he explained, “Missus, Mr. Parker has an urgent meeting in the morning. He will rendezvous with you at noon and have lunch with you.”

Oh, so that was the reason.

Allison’s face brightened up considerably, and as if suddenly struck by a thought, she turned around and asked Bernard, “Bernard, can you stop calling me Missus?”

She felt that this title was unbefitting her!

After all, today was only the second day she had assumed the position of Mr. Parker’s wife. It was only natural that she couldn’t get used to hearing her newly designated title.

“You can just call me by my name, Allison.”

“Missus, this is where Mr. Parker stays, and you will also stay here from now on.” Bernard ignored her request while pointing at a villa not far away from them.

Allison followed Bernard’s finger and saw an extremely luxurious villa that came with a courtyard and a single huge door seemingly appeared out of thin air.

So Alexander always stayed here?
