Alexander glanced at Luna. He didn’t know why but he felt happy somehow.
He didn’t expect that his demure-looking fiancée would have a domineering side as well.
“Alright, Dad. Let’s eat!” After Alexander said that, everyone else followed suit to lighten the atmosphere.
After the meal, Jade pulled Luna’s hand and gave Alexander a look as she said, “It’s so rare for you to come back with Luna. It would be best if you stayed here for the night. It’s late, so don’t go back. I already have the servants clean your room!”
Luna knew that Alexander wouldn’t agree to it, so she didn’t care much. But then, Alexander turned around and nodded, saying, “Sure, I haven’t stayed at home for a while.”
Luna couldn’t help but be shocked by his decision as she said, “Wait, then… What…” About me?
Before she could even finish her question, Jade had already cut her off and said, “That’s fine. There’s an empty bedroom right next to Alexander’s. Alexander, why are you still standing here? Go and bring Luna along to take a look!”
In general, she was quite happy with her future daughter-in-law.
Luna quietly sighed. Good, they were not sleeping together.
Alexander glanced at Luna’s expression but pretended that he hadn’t seen it. He turned around and walked up the stairs.
“Come on!”
Luna followed him and entered the room that had just been cleaned up. The decorations were quite European, and she liked them a lot. “Has someone ever slept in this room?”
That being said, no matter how much she liked it, she couldn’t help but feel that this room was prepared for a girl.
Alexander stood at the doorway and switched on the room’s chandelier which was further in. He said, “When Zane and Willow just got together, she came over and stayed here once. My mother wanted a daughter, that was why she had set up this room.”
“Your mother is good-natured,” Luna sat on the bed and tested the bed’s spring.
Alexander smiled, “My mother had been telling me to get married. She’s in a good mood because I brought my girlfriend home. When she’s angry, even my father has to avoid her.”
Luna had both her hands on the bed and looked at Alexander, and then said, “But your mom didn’t give me the cold shoulder because I’m ‘mentally ill.’ Your father did!”
While her tone was quite casual, Alexander felt sad when he heard it.
“My mother knows a lot of things and is very perceptive when it comes to people. Not to mention that the Brooke family had no hereditary disease running in the family. My parents already investigated this since the beginning,” Alex said as he pulled over a chair and sat next to the bed. “But my mom did have a good impression of you.”
Luna lay down on the bed and joked, “That’s good. If not, just the relationship between your wife and your mom is going to give you a headache.”
“My father is the head of the family!” Alexander said with a smile. “You’re not afraid that my dad won’t let you marry into the family?”
The warzone on the dinner table was more than enough to make others freeze in terror.
Luna turned around and blinked at him and said, “I don’t have to be afraid. You’ll protect me.”
He then raised an eyebrow. “You are sure that I’ll protect you?”
“I’m your wife! Who else is going to protect me if not you?” Luna stretched her back. The bed was so soft. “I’m so good, right?”
Alexander suddenly stood up and sat on the bed too. “So, you knew this would happen?”
“Huh? What?” Luna sat on the bed and looked at him in confusion.
Alexander smiled and asked, “Since when did you have your sights on me?”
Luna finally realized what he was talking about and answered, “From the moment you appeared at my birthday party! At that moment, I was suddenly wide awake and realized that ten Clarences were no match against you solo.”
“Oh, is that it?” He suddenly came closer to her, his eyes twinkling. “That means you really do like me?”
When the perfect face was right in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. “Yes… Yes!”
She really couldn’t hold against such a pretty face!
At this time, night had already fallen. The warm light in the room began to fill the room with an embarrassing color.
Alexander stared at her; his eyes slowly shifting to her lips. There were sparks of desire in his eyes.
Those lips were so soft. Even just a little bit was already making him quite obsessed with it.
Just as he had her hand on her face, and the two pairs of lips were coming closer, there was a rush of knocking coming from the door.
“Uncle! Can you come to play with me? Uncle! Uncle…”
The sharp noise instantly startled Luna as she immediately retreated from Alexander’s hand. “Um~ About that, I’ll go open the door!”
Alexander pursed his lips and said nothing. The kid came at a very wrong time!
He had almost managed to kiss her.
When the door opened, little Calix completely ignored his disappointment and immediately jumped into him and said, “Uncle, come play with me!”
Alexander didn’t want to say a word and immediately dragged him outside. “Uncle, what’s going on? Did someone bully you?”
When she heard what the little kid had said, she couldn’t help but giggle.
After about half an hour later, Willow came over with some new pajamas.
Luna thanked her and invited Willow to come to sit with her. “You can ask me directly if there’s anything you want to ask. I’m fine with it.”
Willow sat on the chair, gave her a warm smile, and said, “It’s nothing really. Mom was worried that you might feel uncomfortable, so she sent me over to talk to you.”
“I’m sorry to have bothered her so much,” Luna said calmly. “It’s not easy for someone to accept who I am. Don’t worry about it.”
“Our father-in-law is nice. Even after I married into a family, he would treat me as his own daughter. When Zane does something stupid, he wouldn’t even show him any mercy. But…” While Willow was also from a high social standing, she didn’t have the usual arrogance of one.
“You really need to take care of those rumors. Find a way to deal with them. If not, once you’re married to Alexander, it’s just going to make it difficult.”
That was the main reason why she was here. Luna understood it, of course.
“I know. Don’t worry, the rumors will be gone soon,” Luna said. “I’ll go and do a medical check-up at the hospital to prove that there’s nothing wrong with me. Only then will they be alright with all of this.”
As for those people that had created all those rumors, she wouldn’t let them off just like that.
When Willow saw that she was so understanding, her worries all disappeared. She had instantly relaxed, “It’s good that you know that you need to do something about it. Those people aren’t someone that will let you go just because you’re going to endure everything quietly. Although Zane and I only returned two years ago, we’ve heard about the rumors. You can’t be too soft!”
“Right,” Luna agreed with Willow completely. “I was too soft earlier, and that gave them the chance to work against me. Even if it’s just for myself, I won’t make the same mistake again.”
“That’s for the best. I’m going back to my room now. You should rest earlier too!”
Luna then sent Willow out. When she reached the door, she suddenly said to her, “Calix likes to pull pranks on people. If you hear anything tonight, please ignore him and just go to bed.”
“Alright, good night!”
