Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 30

Alexander frowned slightly when he saw her looking terrified at him. He didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction.

Alexander raised his eyebrow, “This is my house, why can’t I be here?”

As he said, he bent down to pick up the document on the floor and then realized what she was doing after seeing the title on the document.

“I … I don’t mean that.” Allison started to blush, “it’s just that you appeared too suddenly and startled me.”

Alexander placed the document on the table and saw her terrified expression and started to laugh, “Are you so timid?”

Allison paused and said shyly, “I… I’m indeed timid and frighten easily.”

“Then I’ll take note of that in the future.” Alexander grinned, “How is your work? Have you resolved it? Do you need my help?”

Allison was stunned and reacted only after she saw Alexander pointing towards the document with his chin.

“No need.” She shook her head, “I want to do this by myself and to use this opportunity to prove myself.”

She knew full well that with one word from Alexander he could very well resolve what she was struggling with. But she wanted to prove her abilities.

Alexander was pleased with her determination and smiled in admiration. He said softly, “As you wish.”

After several seconds, he became stern again and said softly, “I came to tell you something. I’ll take you to the old residence this Saturday. Grandmother wants to meet you.”

“Grandmother?”

Allison had heard from Jennifer about Alexander’s grandmother. Their marriage was decided between Jennifer and Alexander’s grandmother except that they had never met.

Now that Alexander said that his grandmother wanted to meet her, she felt indescribably nervous.

“Yes, grandmother heard that we had already registered for marriage and wants me to quickly take you to meet her.”

Allison wrung her hands nervously, “But I…” am not prepared.

Before she could finish, she thought about when Alexander attended Professor Gibson’s birthday celebrations and she held back her refusal.

Regardless, now Alexander and she were legally married. It was unacceptable if she refused to meet the family members.

Allison looked at Alexander and said softly, “I’ll go with you.”

Alexander nodded slightly, “Okay, rest early.”

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the room.

After the door closed, Allison’s anxiety erupted. She was so nervous that she paced around the room. She hadn’t been in many relationships not to mention meeting the parents of the other side. She was now even more nervous when she needed to meet Alexander’s family. She will have to bring some gifts for the visit but she didn’t know what she should get!

Allison paced around nervously as she was at a loss for ideas. In the end, she picked up her phone in desperation and called her good friend in the UK.

“Hello, Pamela!”

Pamela was surprised to receive a call from Allison, “Allison? Why did you call me?”

“I need long-distance help! Let’s cut to the chase! Tell me first, if I were to visit the elderly, like a grandmother, what kind of gifts should I bring?”
