Chapter 316


    Brittany''s crush on Alexander was never a secret.


    Despite his repeated rejections, she never gave up hope.She reasoned that Alexander must have liked


    her since he remained single.


    He only treated her like a sister because their families were close, but he secretly loved her.It was that


    kind of conviction that helped her persist.She believed that one day, she would touch his heart.


    Sooner orter, he would be hers.


    Looking at his gloomy expression, Brittany felt a little scared.She bit her lower lip and grabbed his


    sleeve.


    "Fine.I’ve not seen you in ages, and I miss you.Please don’t be so fierce.


    I even went and bought you ate-night snack.It is bad enough that you don’t value it, but you went and


    scolded me about it."


    She pouted.


    Tears had welled up in her eyes, at the risk of falling at any moment.Alexander looked at her and


    sighed.


    "You’re not a kid anymore.Don''t be so wilful.иσν???вσσк.￠σмYou’re back after half a year so your


    parents and brother must miss you.You should go home sooner."


    "They don’t miss me.They only care about their business.Even you are the same as them now.All of


    you only care about your business.Nobody cares about me!" she said as she grabbed the lunchbox.


    "Fine, I’ll go home, but you must eat first.After you eat, T’ll leave." She handed over the food with both


    hands.


    The look on her face told Alexander he needed to finish the meal, or she would be unhappy.


    "Brittany, don’t be willful."


    He knew she meant well but did not want to encourage her.


    Having expectations dashed was the worst.Therefore, he chose to dampen her expectations from the


    start.


    He stood up and took his coat as he called, "Edward..."


    "Mr.Russell."


    Edward, who had been on guard outside the door, heard his name being called and immediately


    entered.


    Alexander said, "Send Ms.Oakley home."


    "You..."


    Brittany didn’t expect him to refuse such a small request of hers.Did he think there was poison in the

    food that would kill him?


    "Alexander, I hate you! Fine, don’t eat.I’ll throw it in the trash to feed the dogs."


    She grabbed the lunchbox and left angrily.Edward looked on from outside the door.She had rushed out


    so quickly that he did not have the chance to react.


    What was he supposed to do now? Alexander looked up.


    "Go check on her and send her home."


    No matter how willful this girl was, she was his family friend.If something happenedte at night, the


    fault would fall on him.


    "Then you..." Edward asked with hesitation.


    "I''ll drive the other car," Alexander said.


    "Send her back, then go home and rest yourself."


    "Okay," Edward replied, then chased after Brittany.


    The smell of food lingered in the air.


    Alexander rubbed his stomach.He was a little hungry.He took his keys and looked at the time.He


    thought of Lily, who was in Westwood.It should be mealtime there too.


    He would have a simplete-night snack and imagined he was eating with her, who was half a globe


    away.
