    Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 244


    Elise quickly exined, “It’s not like I wanted to ept Jamie’s presents, but the situation at the


    time…” Just then, however, she thought of something. After all, Madeline was Alexander’s mother.


    However displeased she was with Madeline, she couldn’t say nasty things about his mother in front of


    him. Therefore, she changed the subject and said, “Never mind, I’ll return them after leaving them here


    for a few days.” However, Alexander tightened his arms around her. “I’m sorry, Elise. I don’t think I can


    ept other men being nice to you, so I’ve got to be twice as nice to you in the future.”


    Elise didn’t say a word. There were some things that she didn’t want to tell him lest it made him feel


    even more irritable. However, she could sense that Madeline was hostile to her. Seems like it’s true that


    the rtionship with one’s mother-inw is the trickiest problem in the world. Perhaps I could reduce


    the conflict between us by avoiding her, she thought. At the thought of this, she made up her mind.


    When Alexander came out of Elise’s room, he gave Cameron a call. “Help me find out what happened


    at Moore za today.” Cameron merely replied, “Yes, Young Master Alexander,” on the other end of


    the line without asking any questions.


    After hanging up the phone, Alexander looked back and stared at the tightly closed door. Even though


    Elise said nothing about it, he could sense that there was something wrong with her mood today. What


    should I do to reduce her worries? he thought. Over the next few days, Elise went out from dawn till


    dusk, going to Brendan’s studio to help him with his work. As she avoided meeting Madeline almost


    every day, the two women rarely ran into each other, thus avoiding many conflicts.


    However, Madeline wouldn’t let it go at that. One day, the servant received an exquisitely designed


    invitation card. “Madam, it’s an invitation sent by the SK Group.” Madeline took the invitation card and


    nced at it. “Just put it there! I’ll make time to attend the event.” “Yes, madam,” Ste said. Just as


    Ste was about to leave, Madeline stopped her, saying, “Wait a minute, Ste.” “Is there anything


    else, madam?” Coming straight to the point, Madeline said, “You’ve worked for the Griffiths for years. IThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    suppose I can talk about this with you without mincing words. You’ve served Dad by his side for so


    many years, so you know his temperament better than anyone else.


    I’m just curious as to why he would arrange for Alex to get engaged to a country bumpkin like Elise.”


    Ste was troubled by Madeline’s question. “Madam, this is a matter within the Griffith Family. I’m only


    a servant, so I’m not qualified toment on this.” Madeline immediately replied, “It’s okay, Ste. I


    just want to know what Dad thought, so you just have to be honest.” Still, Ste was unsure of what to


    say in response. In the past few days, she had noticed that Madeline seemed to be displeased with


    Elise. Naturally, she couldn’t say anything about it as a servant, though she felt more and more sorry


    for Elise.


    “Madam, since you asked me the question today, allow me to say that Elise is actually a finedy. She


    excels in her studies and is the top scorer in the college entrance exam this time. Back when thete


    Mr. Griffith was still around, she never exploited his fondness for her to do anything inappropriate.


    Instead, she always had the interests of the Griffiths in mind. As for her rtionship with Young Master


    Alexander, I don’t think it’s proper for us to speak out of turn about the love between a man and a


    woman. But I believe that Young Master Alexander must’ve liked Miss Elise because there’s something


    extraordinary about her. Besides, they look like a perfect match. I think they’ll definitely be happy if they


    get married.”


    “That’s enough…” Madeline interrupted Ste before thetter could continue her speech. “Getting


    married? How could she marry into the Griffith Family with such a family background? Isn’t that a bit


    tooughable?” Upon hearing Madeline’s words, Ste realized that Madeline disliked Elise because of


    thetter’s family background. Turns out that rich families value marriages between families of equal


    social standing above everything else. Well, thete Mr. Griffith was better; he didn’t hold such vulgar


    and old-fashioned views, she thought. Just then, Madeline said, “Tell me the truth, Ste. Has she done


    anything… indecent with Alex over the time she spent here?”


    Upon hearing this, Ste immediately replied, “You’re overthinking it, madam. There’s nothing indecent


    between Miss Elise and Young Master Alexander. I can vouch for Miss Elise about this.” Madeline


    heaved a sigh of relief. Seems like they’ve yet to reach that point in their rtionship. In that case,


    there’d still be a way to improve the situation, she thought. “Alright, I got it. You may leave.” Ste


    wiped the sweat off her forehead before going to the kitchen. Then, she breathed a sigh of


    helplessness, saying, “Why would a kind person like youe across such a mother-inw, Miss


    Elise…”


    Elise didn’t know what had happened, and she didn’te home until 10PM as usual. Whenever she


    came back at this hour in thest few days, the lights in the living room would’ve already been switched


    off. Today, however, the spacious living room was brightly lit. “You’re back atst, huh?” Elise heard


    Madeline’s voice as soon as she entered the house. When she looked up subconsciously, she saw


    Madeline sitting on the sofa in the living room. She asked, “Why are you still up at such ate hour,


    Mrs. Griffith?” “I was waiting for you,” Madeline replied sinctly.


    “Come here. Let’s have a talk.” Elise walked over to Madeline and sat down beside her. “Is there


    anything you’d like to talk to me about, Mrs. Griffith?” “Uh-huh,” Madeline replied. “I heard from


    someone in the family that you’d be staying here for only a year. Since it’s about time, I’d say you


    should consider moving out and staying somewhere else. After all, you’re ady, so it’s quite improper


    for you to stay at someone else’s ce all year round.” For a moment, Elise didn’t know how to


    respond to Madeline’s words. She came here because Jonah had invited her to, but now that Jonah


    was gone, it did seem improper for her to continue staying here. Moreover, Madeline had asked her to


    leave.


    “You’re right, Mrs. Griffith. I should be moving out indeed.” Madeline then said, “I don’t mean anything


    else, but you’re ady, so your reputation is quite important. Those in our family are mostly guys, so it’ll


    be embarrassing if word gets around about this. How about this? I’ve got a 2-bedroom apartment


    downtown, so you can stay there if you want.” “Thanks for your kind offer, Mrs. Griffith, but it’s not


    necessary. I’ll find a ce to stay on my own.” Madeline heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Elise


    say so. “That’s good. You’re engaged to Alexander, but you two aren’t married yet, after all, so your


    rtionship is still subject to change.


    I’m doing this for your own good, so if Alexander and the others ask you about itter, I hope you’ll tell


    them that it’s your own decision.” To put it bluntly, I can’t say that she drove me out. There was no way


    Elise didn’t understand the meaning behind Madeline’s words. Indeed, she was like an outsider to this


    family, so it was a bit improper for her to stay here. “Don’t worry. I understand that.” Therefore, Elise


    packed up her stuff the next day. She had bought an apartment in Athesea long ago, though the ce


    had always been vacant. Originally, she had nned to move there when she finished spending a year


    at the Griffith Residence as she had promised to Robin.


    Now that she was going to move out, she could stay in that apartment for the time being. She


    announced right away during breakfast that she was nning to move out. In an instant, those at the


    dining table were surprised, and Danny was the first to speak. “You’re moving out? Why, Boss? Why


    are you moving out? You’re doing fine while staying here, anyway.” Brendan asked right after that, “Did


    something happen, Elise? Why do you want to move out all of a sudden?” Jack was puzzled, too.


    “Don’t tell me you want to move out because you have a hard time adjusting to it now that my parents


    are back?”


    Elise immediately replied with a smile, “No, that’s not it. I just feel that I’ve bothered you guys a little by


    staying here for too long. Now that the college entrance exam has ended, I’ll be going to university at


    Tissote when the semester begins in September. It’d be inconvenient for me to continue staying here,


    so I decided I might as well move out.” “That can’t be true, Boss! Don’t move out, okay? If you move


    out of here, I’ll have a problem improving my ranking in games.


    How am I supposed to y games with you then?” Brendan chimed in, “That’s right, Elise. There’s still


    a month before the semester begins, so you can totally stay until then.” As soon as Brendan finished


    his sentence, Alexander, who had been silent the whole time, looked up at Elise and asked, “Where will


    you be staying?”


    Elise answered honestly, “I’ll be staying at Bollinger Gardens on Ellingmont Lane.” “I’ll help you move


    your stuff thereter, then.” Elise nodded in agreement, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed


    deep down inside. He didn’t even ask me to stay, she thought to herself.
