Chapter 570 Wedding Gift

Edwin and Celina were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

However, the instant Alexander turned toward Elise, his demeanor became gentle and amiable. The

stark contrast in his attitude toward the two women made Celina so resentful that her temples throbbed,

and she nearly passed out in a fit of rage.

Alexander lowered his voice as though he was afraid of startling Elise, saying, “It’s cold in the evening,

and you’re gonna catch a cold if you stay outside for too long. Wait for me in the car.”

“Alright.” Elise nodded obediently. Then, without looking at Celina or Edwin, she turned and walked

toward Alexander’s car parked by the roadside.

It wasn’t until Elise was out of sight that Alexander slowly turned to stare at the couple with a hostile

gaze. “Stay away from Elise if you don’t want to get driven out of Cittadel. She’s my wife. Whoever

makes her unhappy will be my enemy, and I’ll devote my lifetime to making sure that they spend the rest

of their lives in agony.” With that, he shot a surly and murderous look at Celina before heading toward

the car expressionlessly.

Celina involuntarily gulped a mouthful of saliva and watched in a daze as the couple got into the car one

after another.

The instant the car door was closed with a thud, Celina suddenly shuddered as a thought flashed across

her mind. It’s not just the car door that closes; what’s also being closed is a door that separates my world

from Elise’s! From now on, Elise and I will belong to two different social classes, with me being of the

lower class and Elise being far superior to me. There’ll be an insurmountable gap between us!

Feeling dizzy, she slumped to the ground like a clay doll that had lost its support.

Panicked at the sight of the scene, Edwin hurriedly stepped forward and supported Celina to prevent her

from falling.

To Edwin’s surprise, Celina didn’t resist him at all. For a moment, he was secretly delighted, but when he

lowered his head, he realized that something was wrong. Celina looked totally absentminded as though

she had lost her soul. Not only was she completely unaware of him approaching her, but she could no

longer sense everything around her. “Nana! Nana!” Panic-stricken, he shook her body vigorously.

Please, anyone, save my beloved!

However, the bodyguards were even more panic-stricken than he was, so none of them could decide

what to do.

…

Meanwhile, as soon as Alexander got into the car, he started the engine and began driving, looking calm

and relaxed.

On the other hand, Elise felt somewhat ill at ease, and she dared not look at the man. Now that we’re

husband and wife, how are we supposed to get along with each other? Should I call him “darling” instead

of his first name? At the thought of the word “darling,” her cheeks burned again, and she secretly chided

herself for being a wimp.

Just as she was lost in thought, Alexander suddenly placed his warm palm on her forehead. “You seem

to have been feeling out of sorts since just now. Are you alright?” he asked in a soft voice.

Elise took a deep breath. Well, getting married is indeed different. In the past, he would’ve asked for my

consent before holding my hand or hugging me; now he does all of this without the slightest hesitation.

We’re less reserved with each other, and we become more intimate. This feels pretty good. “I’m fine.

Maybe it’s just that I’ve been sitting in the car for too long, so it feels a little stuffy.” The city hall was far

from their home, and it took a long time for them to get there, so she wasn’t really lying about it.

As soon as Elise said that, the car window next to her slowly wound down until only one-third of it was

left. “It was my fault for getting so excited that I forgot about it. Let’s roll down the window for some fresh

air. Still, you can’t get in a draft, or you’re gonna have a headache. I’m taking you to a place, which will

take about an hour. Take a nap first if you’re tired.”

“Uh-huh.” Elise enjoyed the feeling of having everything arranged by the man. Leaning back in her seat,

she fell asleep.

When Elise woke up, it was dark outside. Seeing the familiar bar sign outside the car, she stretched

herself a little. Then, when she turned her head and saw that Alexander was also taking a nap, she was

involuntarily lost in thought. This guy is now my husband, the person closest to me. Seeing a few bristles

on his chin, she involuntarily put out her forefinger and poked his chin.

Suddenly, Alexander opened his eyes and woke up. “Awake already?” he asked her.

“Mm-hm.” Elise smiled with secret delight. It feels kinda fun, she thought. “I had a good sleep.”

“Well then, let’s go in and have something to eat,” Alexander said as he unfastened his seat belt and got

out of the car. After walking around to Elise’s side of the car, he opened the car door for her, holding her

hand naturally as they entered the bar.

Nightlife had just begun in the city at this hour, so even a sober bar would have some music playing to

liven things up. To Elise’s surprise, however, Julius’ place was very quiet, with no sign of any customers.

Not only that, but she was also surprised to see the people sitting at the bar counter.

“Hey there, Boss.”

“You’re here at last.”

Noel and Arthur greeted her simultaneously, whereas Julius gave her an impassive nod.

“Boss! I missed you!” Just then, Jamie came out of the restroom. At the sight of Elise, he threw away the

paper towel he had wiped his hand with and threw himself at her.

“Stop!” Elise stopped him while making fun of him on purpose. “Stay away from me. You smell like a

toilet.”

Jamie looked hurt. “Hey, it hurts me when you say that.”

“You look just like those scheming bottoms right now,” Elise teased mercilessly. She asked, “Honestly,

have you had a change of taste since I last saw you such a long time ago?”

“Jeez, I’m a 100-percent straight guy, okay?!” Jamie loosened his tie and deliberately threw back his

shoulders to show off the pecs that he had just built.

Elise rolled her eyes before turning to look at Julius and the others. “What’s going on today? What brings

you all here?”

“It was me who had Julius call them over,” Alexander explained in a gentle voice.

“You?” Elise was even more puzzled. She didn’t think she had mentioned too much about anyone or

anything related to Dragonweiss in front of Alexander.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to delve too much into your past. I just want to give you a wedding gift.” Alexander

sounded sincere, though his voice carried a hint of worry as he feared that Elise might get disappointed

with him.

Elise’s eyes widened; she still didn’t quite understand what Alexander meant.

Alexander lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. Instead of explaining the situation right away,

he took her hand and led her to the bar counter before pulling out the chair for her to sit down. Then, he

turned around and walked to the TV. Picking up the remote control, he turned on the TV hanging next to

the stage.

After Alexander switched channels twice, Charlene’s face appeared on TV. Compared to her previously

radiant face, she now looked haggard, as though she had taken too many drugs. Not even her heavy

makeup could conceal her sunken eyes and cheeks.

The instant Elise saw Charlene, she recalled the scariest scene in the vampire movie ‘Twilight.’

At the sight of the scene, Noel, who had been silent the whole time, smashed his glass down on the bar

table and stood up to rush outside.

Just as the man was about to reach the door, Alexander suddenly stood in his path. “Stay here and listen

to the truth before you leave.”

The atmosphere between the two men was incredibly tense. However, Noel didn’t want to come to blows

with Elise’s man, after all, so he gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

Just then, Charlene spoke on TV. “H and I were a team back then, but there’s no room for two kings in

one castle. As long as she was there, I’d never have a chance to stand out, so I had to drive her away.”

A reporter interrupted her, saying, “So you stole H’s song and published it as your own, which we already

knew. What else do you want to say?”
