Chapter 592 Petty Man
Elliot had a peculiar interest. Instead of beauties, he preferred to look at hot men. Everyone else had
gravure idol posters pasted on their bedroom walls, but Elliot had Jack’s posters filling up his wall
instead. Their friends knew that, and for some time, they thought Elliot and Sheldon were in a
relationship.
Jack came up to them. Before he could even speak, Elliot was already blushing.
Elise teased, “Oh my, Elliot. You swing that way?”
“No!” Elliot defended himself clumsily and loudly. “Don’t you guys know that Jack’s fanboys outnumber
his fangirls?”
“You’re the only one who thinks that way,” Sheldon mocked. “I’ve never seen guys fanboying over a guy
idol.”
“Hey, I am a fan of an idol guy!” Elliot snapped back by habit, then he realized Jack was around, and he
blushed. He stared at the ground and explained quietly, “I like Jack because of his acting skills and
charisma. It’s just admiration. I think he’s a really hardworking man and has a sense of justice. That’s all.”
The sudden ‘confession’ made things awkward. Jack looked at everyone quickly, and a while of silence
later, he broke the silence. “Thank you for your admiration. I’ll keep doing my best at work.”
“Do your best!” Elliot nodded, fanboying again. “You can do it!”
“Thank you,” Jack answered calmly and handed the cake box to Elise. He then shifted the topic. “Here’s
your dessert for the day.”
“Why are you giving it to me? Winona’s not coming today. Nobody’s eating it,” Elise said.

“I see.” Jack looked down, and for some reason, he felt a little bit empty inside. He was starting to get
used to seeing that girl eating the things he bought, and it was an everyday ritual.
Elliot noticed the awkwardness, so he took the cake box from him. “I’ll eat it. I like desserts, Jack.”
“As long as the food is not wasted,” Jack said calmly. “Ronald’s outside. I have work to do, so see you.”
“Okay, Jack! See you!” Elliot, in true fanboy style, waved at him.
Sheldon shook his head and sighed. “I’m straight, Elliot. You’d better stay away from me.”
Elliot glanced at him. He put his cake down and jumped onto Sheldon. “I’m going to stick to you. If I can’t
find a girlfriend, you aren’t going to find one either!”
“F*ck! Get off me!”
They started fighting in the courtyard.
“They’re lively,” Alexander joked
Elise smiled and took him into the bedroom. Once she closed the door and sat down at the table, Elise
became serious.
“What is it?” Alexander touched her face, smiling.
Elise said seriously, “Alexander, I was on a variety show with someone called Kenneth. The TV station
wants us to be on a live show together tomorrow. I want to go. What do you think?”
“And I thought something bad happened.” Alexander heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s your plan to lure the
mastermind out, right? Why should I say no?”
“Aren’t you jealous?” Elise was surprised.
Alexander wrapped his arm around her neck and pulled her into his embrace. “It’s just work. I’ve been
prepared ever since I agreed to support you working in the livestreaming business. I’m not jealous.”
“Really? But Sheldon said you’re quite territorial,” Elise said.
Alexander sighed. “I am, and I am a little upset.”
“So why don’t I…” Elise cared about his opinion, so she thought it was fine if she rejected the invitation.
“Why don’t you compensate for that?” Alexander said, then he kissed her before she could say anything.
“Right, that’s enough,” he said happily.
“You’re easily satisfied, huh?” Elise was amused.
“Do you want to satisfy me more?” Alexander huddled closer.
“No.” Elise pushed him away and went to the bed. “I want to take a nap. You go out first.”
Alexander stood up, sighing. “You’d better come out with me.”
“Why?” Elise asked innocently.
“We have stayed in the room for some time. If I were to go out alone, what would they think?”
“What would they think?” Elise then realized what he was saying. She blushed and quickly went out.
Sheldon and Elliot had just finished fighting, and they were sharing the cake Jack bought. When Elise
came out, Sheldon stood up and tilted his head to the side as he stared at her. “Why are you blushing,
boss?”
Elliot looked at her. He noticed that her face was red, and he immediately knew what must have
happened in the room. He went and tugged on Sheldon’s sleeve, telling him to shut up.
“Why are you tugging on me?” Sheldon roared.
Elliot rolled his eyes and looked at him like he was an idiot. “Sheldon, do you know why my friend’s
grandpa lived for a hundred and fifteen years?”
“Why?”
“He minded his own business.”
“What does that have to do with a long life?” Sheldon asked.

“Hey, don’t leave me hanging here.” Sheldon went after him, adamant on getting his answer.
Elise finally got the chance to escape, so she went to see Joseph and tested the computers.
After she went into the room, Alexander walked in from the yard and went to the boys. “Sheldon, are you
interested in MMA?” Alexander smirked.
Half an hour later, Elise and Joseph came back out, and they saw Sheldon being suplexed and pinned
down on the ground.
“Sheldon, get up!” Elliot shouted.
Sheldon felt his strength leave him, and he lay on the ground weakly. “I can’t. I give up.”
“What are you doing?” Elise didn’t expect to see this.
Alexander let Sheldon go and stood up, then rubbed his hand. “Just a little spar. I want to teach him how
to protect himself.”
“Is that so?” Elise looked at Sheldon. She didn’t believe it.
Sheldon held his waist and got up. He looked at Alexander and nodded weakly.
Alexander smiled and walked over to Elise. He then took Elise’s hand and led her out. “Time to eat. Let’s
go. Don’t let them wait.”
Everyone else followed. Elliot and Sheldon were dead last.
“Pick up the pace!” Elliot went to push Sheldon, trying to get him to walk faster.
Sheldon gasped. “Don’t touch me!”
“What happened? I thought you’re not hurt.” Elliot held him up.
Sheldon glared resentfully at Alexander, who was leaving. “He hurt me where you guys can’t see.”
“Whoa. He’s one cunning guy.” Elliot was shocked.
Sheldon agreed. He’s so petty. All I just said was she married too early, and he did this to me. I almost
got killed.
