Chapter 896 My Legs Are Sore, Alexander
Half an hour later, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana arrived at Smith Co.’s fashion show. As the door
slowly opened, they entered while holding hands and found a seat in the back row. After they were
seated, they calmly watched the runway models do their catwalk.
At that moment, among the organizers, Danny sneaked toward Alexander and whispered, “The royals
are here, Alexander.”
Hearing his words, Alexander appeared to be at ease. “There’s no need to rush. We’d look like cheap
stakes if we appeared desperate.”
“You’re right.” Then, Danny calmed down soon after.
After all, nothing would go wrong if Elise decided to get involved. Hence, they didn’t move an inch. It
was only after the show had ended that they walked toward the royals, who were registering to
purchase the showcased garments.
“Greetings, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana. I apologize for not coming sooner to greet you two.” As
Alexander spoke, he bowed in courtesy as a token of apology.
“No need for formalities.” Prince Caleb was in a good mood, so he waved Alexander off and changed
the subject, saying, “Today’s show was splendid, Mr. Alexander. Your designs are indeed stunning.”
“I appreciate your appraisal, Prince Caleb. However, this honor should be given to the greatest
designer, Amy. It’s quite a shame to say that we couldn’t learn a tad of her thoughts and creativity.”
Alexander intentionally raised Elise’s status as he spoke.
“I’ve got to say so myself. Amy is a rare gem in this industry. I hope that I can see her masterpiece
again during this trial.” Prince Caleb agreed with his words. Then, he changed the subject as he

pointed toward the grand finale’s design. “Speaking of which, although the design of this dress is
clearly based on Amy’s design, it looked more beautiful. Can I know who the designer is?”
Hearing his words, Alexander chuckled deeply and said awkwardly, “To be honest, this design is just a
doodle from my wife and daughter. The reason I create this dress is just for a memorial and to make
them happy. However, I never expected that it would catch your attention. It’s such a surprise.”
“Oh, yeah? No wonder there is a bunny pin in the front. Your daughter must be a lovely princess.
Would you mind if you introduce them to us?” Princess Diana inquired expectantly.
“It’s my honor.” Then, Alexander turned around and waved at Elise, who was waiting not far away.
Soon, Elise held Alexia’s hand, and they both came to Alexander’s side.
“Good evening, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana.” Elise beamed as she spoke in delight.
“How are you, sir and madam?” Alexia was being playful and greeted them in Flutoian.
“I’m fine. Thank you.” Princess Diana crouched down and cupped Alexia’s cheeks adoringly. She
looked at her gently and said, “It’s amazing that you know how to speak Flutoian. Are you the one who
designed this dress?”
“Yes! Mommy is the lead designer, while I’m the co-designer. This is my first design, and I’m proud of
myself.”
“I’m proud of you too. You are so cute.” Princess Diana was in love with the adorable child.
After that, the royals exchanged glances and decided to buy the design of the dress.
“If this dress is indeed up your alley, you can just take it. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
The encouragement you guys gave to Alexia isn’t something money can buy.” With just a few words,
Elise had turned this business into a favor.
“Oh, my! You are a wonderful mother.” As Princess Diana heard her words, she was touched and took
the initiative to embrace Elise. “Listen, I don’t know if we can have the honor of having dinner with you
all. I want to know more about you, the future Mrs. Griffith, and spend more time with our talented little
designer. Shall we?”
“It’s our pleasure.” Elise nodded. “There is a Cittadel food street not far from here. Why don’t we chat
as we have some food? I bet you guys will have an unforgettable night after tasting the delicacies of
Cittadel.”
After that, Alexander, Elise, and Alexia became tourist guides as they accompanied the royals for the
night. Although Alexander was the one being the guide, Elise’s legs had still ached from walking in high
heels all night long. After she had returned home, she threw her heels to the side and slumped on the
couch.
“My legs are sore, Alexander!” she shouted.
As soon as Alexia entered the house, she immediately grabbed her tablet and played games on the
couch. On the other hand, Alexander entered the bathroom after he had taken off his shoes and jacket.
When he came out, he was holding a tub of hot water.
As Elise was zoning out while looking at the ceiling, she felt that Alexander was touching her feet, but
she was too lazy to budge. It was only when her feet were soaked in warm water that she snapped out
of her trance and got up. Then, she saw him kneeling on the rug as he put her feet in the tub. Then,
she subconsciously jerked, but Alexander noticed it and grabbed ahold of her feet. At that moment, her
face was red from embarrassment. After all, even when they had been together for so long, she still felt
shy about having him take care of her.
“This is not what I meant…”

“Be good now. It won’t feel nice if the water turns cold.” When Elise heard Alexander’s voice, she felt
like there was magic in his voice as she slowly relaxed and allowed him to move her feet.
While Alexander was massaging her feet, he mumbled to himself, saying, “It seems to have swelled. If
you have to wear a long dress in the future, you can just wear sneakers instead. Don’t hurt your own
feet.”
Hearing his words, Elise felt her lips forming into a smile. “If people were to know that the richest man
in Cittadel is being treated like this at home, they would have assumed that I’m a shrew.” She couldn’t
help but joke with the man.
“You are not a shrew. Even if you are one, I’m happy to oblige.” As he spoke, he slowly massaged
circles around her legs. Slowly, he started playing with her legs.
“Hey! That tickles!” Elise bent down and tried to push him away. Just as she was near him, he leaned
closer and kissed her on the lips. Before she could react, Alexander had already leaned back. Hence,
she could only hit him in the shoulder as revenge. “Alexia is here!”
However, Alexander ignored her words and pretended to wash her feet properly.
When Alexia saw their actions, she threw her tablet aside and lay down like Elise. Then, she imitated
Elise’s voice and whined, “My legs are sore, Alexander.”
When the couple heard her voice, they turned their heads in sync and saw Alexia lying on her back
while her legs were lifted straight up in the air.
At that moment, Elise was dumbfounded by her actions and asked, “What are you doing, Lexi?”
“Isn’t this how Daddy will then wash my feet?” Alexia asked innocently.
When the couple heard her words, they looked at each other and felt awkward. At that moment, Irvin
walked past just in time. Then, Alexander quickly called out to him, saying, “Irvin, your sister is tired.
Come and help massage her feet.”
“Okay,” Irvin replied and walked into the room.
