BXBX NOVEL Chapter 253: Your Future
“You don’t remember your own birthday?” Purple Summers asked in surprise, turning to look at him, “Why did you come back then?”
Alexander Summers was silent for a moment before saying, “You tell me, why did I come back?”
Purple:
Could it be… that he came back just to congratulate her on winning the lawsuit?
The bouquet of white roses was still on the bed. Because of their recent entanglement, the flowers were scattered chaotically, and the white petals spread out one after another, carrying a rich and mysterious scent.
There was a slow silence in the room, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.
Purple felt uncomfortable, tightening the quilt around her and sulking, “Who knows? You’re always appearing out of nowhere.”
“You’re such a little contradiction,” Alexander Summers laughed lightly, then moved closer, his burning breath making her shiver slightly.
He was so tall and strong, that when he hugged her from behind, he was like a mountain – solid and dependable.
As they snuggled quietly in bed, Alexander suddenly asked, “Do you like being involved in lawsuits? If not, I’ll buy a law firm for you.”
“Do you think you’re buying groceries?” Purple scoffed, half amused, half annoyed. “And what’s the point of arguing with words? I don’t like it.”
Alexander Summers asked, “If you don’t like it, why do you go?”
“It’s because I’m ambitious,” Purple answered.
Actually, sometimes Purple felt that she revealed too much in front of Alexander Summers, and he should have recognized her as Suzanne Saunders already.
But other times, she felt that she was overthinking. Alexander was busy pursuing his own grand ambitions and wouldn’t have time to pay attention to his sister-in-law. They never even talked much.
Purple cleared her mind of those messy thoughts and patiently explained to him, “Although my last name is Summers, my position in the Summers Family is shaky, so I will have to stand on my own eventually. Gaining experience now will help me in the future after I graduate, whether I become a lawyer or a prosecutor, both are promising careers.”
At the end, she added sarcastically: “Of course, my future can’t compare to Master Xander’s.”
Alexander Summers chuckled, enjoying the sight of Purple planning her future while nestled in his arms, finding it especially adorable.
“Your future is to be married to me,” he declared domineeringly.
Purple pouted her lips and rolled her eyes silently.
…Yeah, even her eye-rolling was adorable.
Alexander Summers was in a great mood and wanted to kiss her again.
Panic-stricken, Purple pushed him away, yelling, “Alexander Summers! You’re crazy again!”
Alexander stopped and asked, “What’s the birthday gift Purple is giving me?”
Purple’s body stiffened:
What she feared came true…
The room was silent.
Alexander Summers waited silently, his deep, dark eyes flashing a dangerous glint.
“…Didn’t prepare one?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
Purple’s gaze wavered, “Well… actually, it’s past midnight, so it’s not technically your birthday anymore.”
Alexander’s breath caught, and two seconds later, he said slowly, “It’s okay,
Purple can give herself as a gift to me…”
Purple’s back tensed up, her scalp tingling with dread.
She quickly clung to Alexander’s arm, “Can I make it up to you tomorrow?”
Alexander didn’t respond, bent down, and kissed her neck, nibbling at it.
“I want my birthday gift now,” he said in a low, resolute, yet bone-melting voice, “No gift, and I’ll take you right now.”
Who demands birthday gifts like that? It’s totally unreasonable!
Purple was driven to the brink of madness by him!
“I have a gift!” She pushed him away forcefully, “Get up, I’ll give you a birthday gift!”
Alexander Summers got up, suspiciously eyeing her, wondering how she would get out of this.
Purple sat up, her face flushed with anger, holding out her palm to him, “Give me your phone lanyard.”
Alexander’s eyebrow raised slightly, asking, “What are you going to do?”
“If you want the gift, just give it to me!” Purple commanded haughtily, lifting her chin.
