Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 559

Chapter 559: Chapter 559 Better to Move_1

Do you really intend to grant them their wish?

Nathaniel Summers struggled within himself, unable to accept the situation, yet also a bit tempted.

He had to find out who was trying to hurt him! However, the current situation left him very passive, as all the secrets seemed to be in Jade Carlson’s hands. Unless Jade opened up about them, Nathaniel had no way to deal with it!

Nathaniel drove home and happened to encounter Purple Summers and Alexander Summers, who were also on their way back.

The two of them had just returned from outside, and they were walking shoulder to shoulder in the yard, laughing and chatting with great intimacy.

Purple’s bright smile and her unrestrained laughter deeply aggravated Nathaniel!

He suddenly lashed out at a nearby servant, “Is no one going to clean up this dirty courtyard? I’m about to get engaged, and when guests see this mess, what will they think?”

Purple’s complexion turned a hint paler.

She felt that Nathaniel’s criticism of the dirty courtyard was actually an indirect rebuke of her relationship with Alexander, suggesting it was tainted…

Alexander remained calm and tightened his grip on Purple’s hand, turning to Nathaniel, “Big brother is getting engaged? With such good news at hand, why so angry?”

Nathaniel glared at Alexander, his eyes like daggers looking to carve holes in him.

His gaze shifted gradually to their intertwined hands, with layers of grimness accumulating in his eyes, cold to the extreme.

“You’re right, I should be happy. Unlike certain people who skulk around like thieves, seizing what belongs to others and never able to openly show it, now that is truly pitiable!”

As soon as Nathaniel finished speaking, Alexander’s face instantly darkened.

Purple inwardly cursed the situation and pulled Alexander back forcefully, fearing that the brothers would clash. She dragged him far away from the scene all the way to the cottage.

It was only when they neared the cottage that Purple breathed a sigh of relief.

Alexander said coldly, “Why did you pull me away? Were you afraid I would hit him?”

He usually kept his emotions in check, mostly adopting an attitude of indifference, but Nathaniel had just mocked his and Purple’s relationship for being dishonorable, genuinely infuriating him!

Had Purple not pulled him away with all her might, his fist might have already ‘greeted’ Nathaniel.

“Fighting with your own brother, would that look good? It would be embarrassing in front of the servants!” Purple advised, “He must have eaten gunpowder today, let’s just ignore him.”

The phrase “let’s just” immediately soothed the raging fury in Alexander’s heart.

He half-squinted his eyes, “Exactly, we won’t pay him any mind; he’s just consumed by jealousy.”

Purple didn’t dwell on Alexander’s smug satisfaction; instead, she looked into the distance, murmuring thoughtfully, “I wonder who he’s getting engaged to…”

Alexander wrapped an arm around her and walked towards the house, “Who cares what he’s up to, it’s annoying.”

Purple thought to herself: …Indeed, quite annoying.

“Otherwise…” Purple tugged at Alexander’s sleeve tentatively, “Shall we talk to mom about moving out and living on our own?”

Atra Blanc lived here to avoid any doubts about her son’s identity, but now that Alexander had come of age, no one questioned his status as the Summers Family’s fourth young master.

Purple lived here because she suspected Nathaniel and Jade Carlson conspired to harm her, but now that she had ascertained Nathaniel was not involved, there was no need for her to stay anymore.

As for Alexander, it hardly mattered where he lived.

“Nathaniel already knows about us, continuing to live here might lead to others finding out; I don’t want to hear any more gossip. Perhaps it’s better to move somewhere quieter,” Purple discussed with Alexander, “We could move to a place where no one knows us, it would be safer, more comfortable.”

After pondering for a moment, Alexander stroked her head, “Alright, we’ll ask mom what she thinks when we get back.”
