Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

“Isn’t Zack Wallace outside?” she said irritably.

Alexander frowned upon hearing this, “You want a man to take off my pants and wash me? No way, that’s disgusting.”

Purple was already upset, but when she heard him say that, she couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, “You feel disgusted? The most disgusting person here is you!”

“Yes, yes, I’m the most disgusting,” Alexander pulled her back, pressing his lips against the back of her hand for a kiss, “I’m repulsive, I’m filthy, and I just need a pure fairy to cleanse me.”

Purple was amused by him.

She immediately felt she shouldn’t laugh and tried to keep a straight face, but it was too late. Alexander had already caught a glimpse of the smile that flickered across her face.

“I’ll go get you some water.” She sheepishly shook off his hand and walked over to the water dispenser to get some water.

When she turned back, she found Alexander opening her chocolate.

“Why do you always do this?!” Purple hurried over, cup in hand, agitated, “You don’t even ask before you take action! Didn’t you ever consider that this might be a gift for someone else?”

Hearing this, Alexander’s expression darkened, “Other than me, who else do you want to give chocolate to? Looking for trouble again, huh?”

“Can’t I buy it for myself to eat?!” Purple was furious.

Alexander’s thin lips lifted slightly, and he stripped off the remaining wrapper completely, stating, “This is definitely for me.”

Purple cursed him, “Shameless.”

At that moment, Alexander’s expression paused slightly, as if confused.

“…Purple, what is this?”

Looking down, Purple saw that the piece of chocolate in Alexander’s hands, which were mashed together, was unrecognizable as the little devil it was supposed to be.

She had been holding it tightly in her hand while waiting outside, and the heat from her palm must have melted the chocolate a bit…

“This looks a bit like a toad,” Alexander remarked.

Purple deliberately belittled him, “You’re just a toad dreaming of swan meat, daring to covet the daughter of the Howard Family. Now you’ve been shot, haven’t you? Almost lost your life, and the swan hasn’t come to see you. You deserve it!”

“What swan is she.” Alexander laughed indifferently, “At best, she’s just a big white goose. If I really turned into a toad, I’d only fancy Purple the swan.”

Upon hearing this, Purple’s feelings were indescribable.

She thought: Are all men like this? Face to face, they can belittle that woman as nothing, but behind the back, they put on a righteous act to play the hero and save the beauty.

“Sweet talker,” Purple muttered under her breath.

Alexander laughed softly, eating the chocolate one bite after another.

“You just had surgery, can you eat chocolate?” Purple frowned, uncertain, “I heard that sweets can cause inflammation… You, you better not eat it.”

“Purple’s intentions, what’s a little inflammation? Even if it were poison, I’d have to eat it,” Alexander ate voraciously without a sign of disgust, gobbling down the chocolate in a few bites.

He had only eaten a piece of chocolate, a trivial thing, but somehow, Purple felt a sting in her eyes.

She felt pathetic, so easily moved by Alexander, truly lacking in self-control.

Feeling uncomfortable, Purple looked down and handed the water cup on the table to Alexander, “Even if you had nine lives, they wouldn’t last long with your luck; you get shot over one woman, and then poisoned by another…”

After drinking the water, Alexander pulled her closer with a laugh when he heard her sour words and kissed her lips, saying, “Purple, you’re not just jealous. It lasts for quite a while, and I really like that.”
