Emily sat in the backseat, her face displaying an expression of sheer disbelief as she looked at Alexander.
“Looks like today is another day of Jack’s schizophrenia,” she mused.
Upon reaching the Wilson family’s residence, Emily greeted Sophia politely before whisking away Elizabeth.
Sophia had always been fond of Emily. She was worried that Elizabeth, being rather reserved, would end up lonely without friends.
Now that Emily was taking Elizabeth under her wing, Sophia wished Emily could come by every day.
Once outside, Elizabeth’s gaze settled on Alexander, who leaned against the car door. Tall and leggy, he wore a white shirt, two buttons undone, revealing his pale, pristine skin and delicate collarbone.
His deep-set eyes, carrying a hint of a smile, were fixed on her.
The sight reminded Elizabeth of something… or rather, someone.
She pondered briefly before her eyes lit up, “He looks a bit like a street rogue.” If Peter had been there, he’d have corrected her, “No, more like a smitten fox.’
Alexander tilted his chin slightly, signaling her to get in.
Linda, upon seeing the Williams siblings pick up Elizabeth, feigned indifference. However, her fingers turned white from gripping too tightly.
Why was a country girl like Elizabeth welcomed by them?
However, despite all her efforts, she could never get close to someone of Emily’s stature.
With every interaction, Linda realized more and more just how exceptional Elizabeth was.
She had better grades, and more friends, and even Sir and Lady Wilson seemed to favor Elizabeth over her.
Linda couldn’t fathom it. After spending over a decade with her family, how had Elizabeth surpassed her in such a short time?
Even Jack seemed to be growing fond of Elizabeth. Linda felt a mix of panic and loss, a deep sense of injustice and bitterness.
Mustered up the courage she didn’t know she had, Linda blurted out, “Elizabeth, where are you going? Can I come with you? I’m so bored at home.” Emily’s eyebrows furrowed, hoping Elizabeth would decline.
With a serious tone, Elizabeth replied, “No, it’s impolite to invite oneself.”
Linda’s face turned crimson, wondering if Elizabeth was implying she lacked manners.
The embarrassment was palpable.
Emily chuckled inwardly, thinking, “Well done, Elizabeth!”
Elizabeth’s dark eyes met Linda’s, her voice calm, “When you become friends with Emily, then you can join us.”
Emily added with a smirk, “My friend list is full. You’ll have to wait in line.”
This condescending attitude was the last straw for Linda. Never in her life had she felt so humiliated. It was all because Elizabeth had refused her.
Mumbling an excuse, “I’m not feeling well anyway and didn’t want to go out,’ she hurriedly went inside.
Alexander locked eyes with Elizabeth and grinned, “Did you do that on purpose?”
Elizabeth looked genuinely confused, “Huh?”
Seeing her puzzled expression, Alexander had a sudden urge to caress her face. She looked so endearing.
“Get in,” he said with a smirk.
Just as Elizabeth was about to settle in the backseat, Alexander ushered her to the passenger side.
Once seated, he handed her an opened bottle of mineral water, “Have some.”
His gaze lingered on her dry lips.
After a moment’s hesitation, Elizabeth took a tiny sip.
Watching her, Alexander thought, “So obedient.”
Realizing he was enjoying this act of offering her water, he commented, “Only that much?”
Elizabeth glanced at him and took another sip.
Such a good girl.
Alexander chuckled, somewhat disappointed when Elizabeth didn’t drink more.
From the back, Emily chimed in, “Bro, I’m thirsty too.”
Without turning, Alexander replied, “There’s water in the back. Help yourself.”
Great, she thought.
His schizophrenia seems to be getting worse..
