Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

She instructed him not to let the wound come in direct contact with water and not to scratch it, lest it should leave a scar.

“Men don’t fuss over this,” Alexander said.

Purple was very dissatisfied with his attitude, “If you can avoid leaving a scar, it’s obviously better not to. Why do you insist on having not a single patch of good skin on your body?”

“All right, I’ll listen to you,” Alexander changed his tune, with a warm smile, “Men take charge outside, women take charge inside. From now on, I’ll listen to everything Purple says.”

Purple gave him an annoyed look.

She really wanted to retort, “You should sort out your own marriage contract before you say such things!”

But saying that would make it seem like she was eager to marry him!

So Purple chose to stay silent instead, she put away the external medicine and asked Alexander to put his shirt on.

Alexander was not prone to scarring, and though he had many wounds, most of them were barely visible, as their color was very close to his skin tone. The most noticeable one was probably the scar on his face, as facial skin is the most delicate, and any imperfection there is especially obvious.

However, such imperfections did not diminish his handsomeness at all. On the contrary, they added a bit of a wicked charm to his brow and made his demeanor even more mysterious and attractive.

Alexander was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

As Purple watched him, she became entranced without realizing it…

“Do you know that staring at a man like this is a very dangerous thing?” Alexander’s eyes contained a smile, “It makes me want to swallow you up in one bite.”

The infatuation that Purple had shown when she looked at him was bewildering and adorable. He couldn’t resist her; she was too tempting!

When Purple heard Alexander say this, she was initially puzzled, but then she understood what he meant and was embarrassed.

She lowered her head uncomfortably, looking for a new topic awkwardly, “By the way… there is something I need to talk to you about…”

“What is it?” Alexander asked her.

“Tomorrow… I need to go meet someone.”

Although it was not an important matter, considering Alexander’s unreasonable and overbearing nature, Purple thought it would be prudent to give him a heads-up in advance.

“Young Master Graves asked to meet me, wanting to know some things about snake care.”

Upon hearing this, Alexander’s eyes did indeed narrow dangerously, “Are there no other snake keepers left in the world? Why does he have to find you?”

“Why do you have to speak so harshly?” Purple was indignant, as she hit him with the towel from beside her, “Cleo was in the news recently, and he saw it. He must think I’m good at caring for snakes if he wants my help.”

Alexander said coldly, “You’re not going.”

“But I have already promised him!” Purple reached out to pinch his face, “You can go to the airport to pick up your fiancée. What right do you have to tell me who I can see?!”

Alexander let her pinch him without yielding, “That’s different. Lily Howard and I have an agreement, and there is nothing shady about us. What’s your situation with Young Master Graves? Who knows what his intentions are in asking to meet you?”

“Can’t you harbor nicer thoughts? More pure thoughts? It’s the same over and over every day, just like a beast!”

“You are too naive!” Alexander said bluntly, “If I were a beast, then he would be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not much better.”

Purple massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on, “I’ve already made a promise, and I can’t break my word. Also, Young Master Graves has done me a favor before. Last time Aria Jackson had an issue, it was thanks to Young Master Graves that she was spared punishment. Morally and emotionally, I should go. You can’t expect me to keep owing him a favor, can you?”

“Favors need to be repaid,” Alexander considered and then said, “Let Zack Wallace accompany you.”
