Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Alexander Summers told the driver in front to drive more steadily.

Feeling embarrassed, Purple Summers hurriedly said, “Don’t trouble him; it’s a traffic jam now, with starts and stops—inevitable…”

Besides, she wasn’t really carsick.

…

It was the evening rush hour, a time when school lets out and people leave work. Even someone of Damian Howard’s prestigious status was stuck in traffic just like everyone else.

However, Alexander wasn’t in a hurry, and Purple Summers was even less so. Both sat quietly in the car, lost in their thoughts, and neither spoke a word.

Purple Summers had assumed they would go to a restaurant, but instead, the car took them directly to Alexander’s estate castle on the outskirts of the city.

The estate was magnificent, exuding a Renaissance beauty; it was the first gift Alexander received after taking the position of family head. Up until now, he was the only one with the privilege of living there.

Now, however, his fiancée had moved in.

Wasn’t it normal… for Master Xander’s fiancée to live here, if not here, then where?

Suppressing the strange thoughts in her heart, Purple Summers got out of the car with Alexander and walked through the grand entrance…

The estate’s servants had already received the news. They stood on either side of the bluestone brick path outside the main gate, bowing respectfully to welcome the estate’s owner, casting an air of decadent nobility upon any arrivals.

Upon entering, a servant led the couple toward the dining hall.

Before they got there, Purple Summers could hear muffled voices from the dining hall. Sensitive, she wondered if Alexander’s fiancée was talking about her at this moment?

When they entered the dining hall, she saw a young man and woman seated on one side of the table.

The man had fair skin and was handsomely carefree, while the woman was a mixed-race girl with wavy chestnut hair hanging all the way down to her waist. Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered like tiny fans, her delicate lips were redder than rose petals, and her clear, lucent blue eyes were so beautiful—she looked not of this world, a perfect doll!

She was stunningly beautiful!

Purple Summers felt deeply struck.

She had never seen such a beautiful and cute girl before, a hundred times more beautiful than any model or star!

Remembering how Alexander would nonchalantly call her lazy pig, stupid pig every day… Ha, no wonder. Compared to the girl before her, wasn’t she just like a pig…

The mixed-race girl’s gaze turned sharp as she looked at Purple Summers, clearly showing enmity.

Purple Summers’s heart sank—see, here it came… here it came… Alexander had said Lily Howard was already married, but perhaps the marriage was just a sham?

It wasn’t hard to guess a little; with Lily’s seemingly innocent demeanor, she must have been protected by her brother, Damian Howard, from a young age. After Damian’s mishap, Alexander took the brother’s place, caring for and protecting Lily—over time, emotions could develop, what was so impossible about that?

The servants pulled out high-backed chairs for both of them, and Purple Summers and Alexander took their seats.

Across the table, the handsome man said something to the mixed-race girl in French, then, looking over at Alexander and Purple Summers, he stood up with a smile and reached out his right hand, “This lovely young lady must be the one our Master Xander can’t stop thinking about, right?”

Purple Summers’s cheeks turned pink as she uncomfortably got up, about to shake his hand, but Alexander suddenly pulled her back down to sit.

Alexander said with a cold face, “A simple introduction will do, no need for handshakes.”

The man laughed helplessly, “You’re too possessive!”

Then, looking at Purple Summers, he introduced himself, “Nice to meet you, I am Damian Howard, and this is my wife Sarah. We will be staying here for a while. Ms. Summers, I hope we can get along well.”

Purple Summers stared with widened eyes, in disbelief.

Damian Howard… how could he be a man???
