Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime-Chapter 1048 Sweet Nothings_1

She hugged Alexander Summers tightly, her face pressing against his broad and solid back, not moving for a long while.

Alexander let her embrace him, and after a while, he chuckled softly, "Good girl."

Her clinginess brought a warm and cozy heat to Alexander’s heart, his chest felt as though it was filled with something, satisfying his whole heart.

He hesitated whether to put aside his work, but Purple released him, saying, "Go ahead, serious business matters. I’ll come to see you during Christmas."

Alexander turned around, his eyes brimming with laughter as he gently touched her face, "Purple, do you love me so much now that you can’t help it?"

"Stop it!" Purple’s ears turned red with heat as she pushed him away, blushing, "Just go."

"Are you embarrassed?" Alexander teased, nibbling her ear, "...But I love you, so much that I can’t help it."

Purple bit her lip as his sweet words sent a shock of electricity through her, a tingling sensation that rushed from the soles of her feet straight to her heart.

She wanted to scold him for being shameless, but the words tumbled on the tip of her tongue and ultimately, she swallowed them back.

"Mhm." Purple responded modestly, the corners of her mouth sweetly curled upward.

Alexander teased her, "What does ’mhm’ mean?"

"Mhm means mhm, what else could it mean?" Purple pushed him into the car, "Hurry up, don’t be late."

Alexander pulled her into a fierce kiss before finally getting into the car and leaving the lakeside villa.

Once he had left, Purple went back inside.

Despite only one person being gone, it felt as though the house had instantly become empty.

Maybe this wasn’t home.

The place with Alexander was her home.

Purple wrapped herself in a shawl, starting to look forward to Christmas.

...

Two days before Christmas, Purple made a trip to the Presidential Palace, bringing some gifts as a courtesy.

For Christopher Simonson, there was a tie; for Caitlin Carter, a sapphire brooch; for Old Master Simonson, some tea leaves; and for the old lady, a horn comb.

They weren’t extremely expensive, but she had put thought into them, and the family was very pleased.

The old lady also showed a rare smile.

Ever since Violet Nelson was imprisoned, the old lady’s spirit seemed to have collapsed, not to mention scolding people, she hardly spoke much anymore.

When she used to make a fuss, Christopher found it tiresome, but now seeing her devoid of spirit, it made him feel uneasy.

At the dinner table, the old lady only ate half of her meal before she lost her appetite and had to be supported away from the table.

A short while later, Old Master Simonson also left the dining room.

After the two elders had gone, Christopher asked Purple, "After Christmas is over, when do you plan to come back?"

Purple vaguely knew what Christopher was thinking and looked troubled, "The plan is to go back to school and get my school report after New Year’s Day."

The implication was that she would leave again during winter vacation.

Christopher indeed seemed somewhat disappointed, "What about the Lunar New Year? You are not coming back then?"

"Um..." Purple nodded, "We plan to spend New Year’s in Pearlpoint City."

"It makes sense if they are going to settle down in Pearlpoint, spending New Year’s there is fine," Caitlin said, trying to ease Christopher’s feelings, "Kingsley is Purple’s family home, it’s okay if she only comes back occasionally."

After hearing this, Christopher couldn’t help but sigh. He had hoped that with more people around this year, the festivities would be livelier.

After all, with one person less at home, he worried the cold and quiet atmosphere would sadden the elders.

Now he thought about it, his daughter whom he had acknowledged seemed not to have warmed up to the family before getting married off...

Sigh...

Christopher felt melancholic.

"I will bring you guys gifts when I come back from Pearlpoint," Purple said with a smile, oblivious to her president father’s thoughts.
