Ecstacy of the Heart

Allison thought for a long time and couldn’t think of a good way to mention it.

But no matter what happened, Professor Gibson’s birthday was an important day. Since she had been officially married to Alexander, going out for a meal as a family should not be a big issue.

She should simply ask Alexander and seek his opinion. Allison sighed after making her decision and only after this weight was off her chest was she able to fall asleep. It was already the next afternoon when she saw Alexander. Allison was bored to tears when she heard the sound of a car approaching. She ran to the window and saw a familiar car downstairs.

Before long, there was some noise along the corridor leading to the study. Allison pushed open the door and just as she reached the staircase, she saw Lara serving a freshly brewed pot of tea.

Allison asked softly, “Lara, is Alexander back?”

“Yes, master just came back. But he doesn’t look pleased. He looked upset.”

“Ah?”

Allison became nervous immediately. She was waiting for Alexander to come back to tell him about her father’s birthday arrangements. But she didn’t expect that he would be having a foul mood today.

Lara was puzzled and asked, “What’s the matter, missus?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Allison said. Her eyes looked at the serving tray and took it over from Lara, “Lara, give me the pot of tea. I’ll serve them to him.”

“Okay, be careful.”

After taking over the tray, Allison took a deep breath and walked to the study.

No matter what, this issue cannot be delayed. Jennifer had already booked the restaurant and had already sent her the address. If she didn’t resolve it on her end, then she will be severely scolded by Jennifer.

Allison knocked on the door.

“Come in.”
