Chapter 23 - 23: Test 1
Cleo?
Pet?
Purple Summers stared blankly at Alexander Summers for a while before realizing he was talking about the original Purple.
As a rebellious and introverted dark girl, wasn’t it quite normal to have a boa constrictor as a pet?
Purple curled up under Alexander’s blankets, showing no signs of wanting to come out.
She laughed awkwardly and said, “Really…Haha, I didn’t recognize her after not seeing her for a while.”
How could she not recognize a snake that had only changed in length?
Moreover…even if she really didn’t recognize it, there was no need to be so scared.
Alexander slowly narrowed his deep, cold eyes, gazing at her for a long time.
His sister, since leaving the hospital, had changed remarkably…
Purple felt uneasy under his gaze and tried to squeeze out an innocent smile, “Brother?”
Alexander’s thin lips lifted, his handsome face filled with a wicked and elusive smile.
Purple tensed up, feeling that Alexander was up to no good. Just as she was on high alert, Alexander leisurely got out of bed—
As soon as he was out of her sight, Purple felt a lot more relaxed.
“While you were in the hospital, no one was looking after Cleo, so mom asked me to take care of her for a while,” Alexander said to her casually, reaching down to pick up the boa constrictor from the floor, and then holding it by the head, offering it to her, “Do you want to take her back?”
Purple quickly hid back under the blankets!
“No need!” She gritted her teeth in hiding.
He clearly knew she was scared, but still deliberately used the snake to frighten her, he was indeed up to no good!
Purple heard Alexander’s low laughter from under the blankets and felt even more that this man was wicked and despicable.
“Put the snake back! It’s dark in the room, and if I step on it, it’ll get hurt,” she yelled.
Alexander gazed intently at the lump on the bed, his smile widened with a hint of evil energy.
The little girl was quite good at making excuses.
“How come you’ve become so timid since leaving the hospital?” Alexander placed the snake back into its enclosure, walked back, and gently patted her through the blankets, “Come out.”
Purple’s face turned red instantly.
…He just happened to pat her butt…
Blushing, she awkwardly crawled out from under the blankets.
With the boa constrictor no longer on the floor, she finally felt at ease and climbed out of bed.
“Which girl isn’t afraid of snakes? I only wanted to raise one out of curiosity before, but now I’m not curious anymore, so I’ll leave it for my brother to raise…” As Purple lowered her head and tidied up her messy hair, she tried to remain composed.
After she finished speaking, there was no response from Alexander for a long time.
Purple found it strange and glanced back—
Upon looking, she suddenly froze in place.
Alexander was quietly leaning against the bedside table, gazing at her intently. He wasn’t wearing any clothes… No, he wasn’t completely naked either; at least he was still wearing a pair of boxers.
Although she knew no one would wear many clothes while sleeping, she couldn’t help but blush and feel embarrassed!
She wanted to look away but thought doing so would make the situation even more awkward. They were siblings, and if she overreacted, it would seem abnormal.
Purple forced herself to calmly face Alexander with his well-built abs, attractive V-lines, and his arm casually resting on the bedside table, displaying a laid-back aura that wasn’t decadent.
He was stunningly handsome, with an aloof temperament, and a strong body. The muscles were beautifully defined without being excessively bulky and coarse.
Purple had to admit that even though he was a scoundrel, his physique…was impressive.
Alexander just quietly watched her, his eyes deep and silent, giving off an eerie vibe.
Purple’s heart raced, and she felt inexplicably flustered.
“Mom asked me to come…” Due to nervousness, Purple stuttered, “Asked me to call you for breakfast…Hurry up and go after you’ve washed up.”
She hastily explained her reason for being here, eager to leave as soon as possible.
When she reached the door, the man behind her called her name—
“Suzanne..”
