His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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 or later, 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 a late-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. You’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, I’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.”
