Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Saved me three times_1

Purple Summers followed him out and saw Alexander Summers waiting for her at the entrance of the restaurant, his expression looking awful.

“What’s wrong?” Purple approached and asked, “What did she say to insult you?”

Alexander scoffed, “She said her insecurity is all thanks to me. If it weren’t for my engagement to Lily Howard, she wouldn’t be so anxious. She also accused me of having sinister intentions, wanting to monopolize Lily.”

Purple: “…”

After a moment, Purple gently took Alexander’s arm and quietly consoled, “Forget about it… She’s from abroad and doesn’t understand the inner workings of the Howard family; don’t take it to heart.”

Her feelings were indeed complicated: her man was getting engaged to someone else, yet she had to comfort him instead…

Alexander wouldn’t hold a grudge over such a trifle against a young girl; he was just irate internally. The engagement was a calculated move made by him and Lily within the Howard household, such a grave matter! And Sarah’s accusations turned it into Alexander coveting Lily’s beauty!

What beauty of Lily did he covet? That androgynous thing!

It was truly infuriating!

“It’s my Purple who understands the bigger picture,” Alexander remarked as he patted Purple’s head.

Purple: “…”

After staying silent for a while, she said, “I don’t understand the bigger picture; I’m just powerless. What’s the point of asking for my opinion on decisions you’ve already made? Sarah must think the same way, which is why she got so angry.”

At first glance, Alexander and Lily seemed to greatly respect their partners, purposefully arranging today’s meeting of four to put their partners at ease, thereby accepting the engagement without resentment.

But the entire situation was still absurd!

“Does it have to be this way?” Purple lamented, “Can you not secure your position without Lily’s support?”

She even wanted to jab at him: If you can’t secure it, then don’t. Relying on a woman to keep your seat isn’t shameful to you?

But such words were too hurtful; their relationship had been harmonious lately, and she didn’t want to upset Alexander…

Alexander remained silent for a while, then took her hand and slowly walked outside.

The weather was wonderful outside, the March sunshine less biting and more warm and spring-like.

They walked shoulder to shoulder at a leisurely pace. Sunlight filtered through the interlacing branches of large trees, casting brilliant, patchy golden light and shadow on the grass. A breeze passed by, causing the light and shadow to dance, like an ephemeral golden koi flitting at the tips of the grass blades.

Maybe it was the nice scenery, the fresh air, but Purple’s moodiness had quietly dissipated.

Alexander asked her, “After you graduate, is there anything you particularly want to do?”

Purple truthfully replied, “I want to take the judicial examination this October, and then go to the training institute to study, eventually becoming a prosecutor.”

“But you won’t be eighteen by this October, will you? You won’t be able to take the judicial examination, right? Do you need my help?” Alexander offered.

“No need.” Purple shook her head, “Our school has special slots, not limited by age.”

Only then did Alexander understand why she was so insistent on studying at Grey; she had been planning ahead.

He felt a bit moved and couldn’t help but kiss Purple lightly, saying, “Purple, you’re really wonderful, always full of sunshine and vitality, like… like a sunflower, making one feel warm.”

Hearing this, Purple frowned, “It’s fine to say I’m full of sunshine and vitality, but why describe me as a sunflower? Sunflowers have their faces full of seeds, it’s disgusting!”

Alexander burst out laughing,

He remembered that Purple’s reason for hating dragon fruit was similarly peculiar.

After laughing for a while, he said, “Purple, everyone has things they want to do, and so do I. Damian Howard saved me three times; protecting the family head’s position for him and saving his sister’s life, and then, I’ll give him a child, that should settle the debt, right?”
