Emily had just sent a message when, upon lifting her head, she saw her tall, lanky brother casually leaning against a car door at the school gate. He was fiddling with his phone, his gaze drifting lazily toward Elizabeth.

His expression seemed a bit off.

Emily scampered over, “Bro, did you come to pick me up?”

Alexander raised an eyebrow, “Weren’t you the one who disturbed me from my work with your incessant messaging?”

Emily giggled sheepishly.

She loved gossip but had no one to share it with, so she’d send these tidbits to Alexander.

She was well aware that her brother wouldn’t check her messages because he found her annoying.

That’s why she dared send them.

Naturally, she’d also shared news about Elizabeth with him.

To her surprise, for once, he had paid attention to her gossip!

Did he finally show interest in Elizabeth?

Emily inquired, “Is this why you’re here at school?”

Alexander ignored her and, with a slightly cold tone, addressed the approaching Elizabeth, “Having trouble in class?

Elizabeth lifted her head, her demeanor as aloof as ever, “I’ve dealt with it.

“What a shame!”

Alexander replied with a smirk. His handsome face gleaming in the sunlight, he pulled out a packet of tissues from his pocket, “I even brought tissues for you.”

He had hoped to see her, the little girl, with teary, big, dark eyes, acting all pouty and aggrieved.

Emily’s big black eyes, wet from tears, opened wide as she pouted.”

Emily rolled his eyes and said, “Are you here to watch a show?

Alexander didn’t reply. Instead, his eyes followed Elizabeth’s wavy black hair. He had a sudden urge to pat her head.

Ultimately, he just opened the car door, “Get in. I’ll give you a lift home.”

Elizabeth blinked but didn’t decline.

Thomas noticed Alexander. They moved in the same circles. He wanted to greet Alexander but was met with a frosty stare.

Thomas was confused.

Inside the car, Alexander casually asked Elizabeth, “Who is he?” Elizabeth replied candidly, “A student’s parent, came to apologize.”

“He doesn’t look trustworthy. Stay away from him. Focus on your studies.”

Alexander’s mood visibly improved. It seemed that Elizabeth had quite the allure. First Peter, and now this sycophant.

He glanced at Elizabeth through the rearview mirror.

She was looking down, her bangs concealing her delicate brows and eyes, revealing only her pert nose.

She simply hummed in response to his advice.

Emily sighed, “Bro, aren’t you being a bit too nosy?”

Mind your own business!

Sure enough, her brother had schizophrenia.

Alexander chuckled softly, teasing, “My sister’s friend is also my sister. How is that being nosy?”

This little girl was so cute, soft, and obedient. It felt like no one was worthy of her.

Elizabeth looked up at him, realization dawning on her. It seemed Alexander didn’t want to be just her friend or her grandpa; he wanted to be her big brother.

She pondered for a moment before slowly nodding, “Alright.”

Alexander was a bit puzzled.

Did she just agree to keep her distance from those untrustworthy men?

Alexander’s lips curved into a pleased smile, a hint of pride swelling within. This aloof little girl was actually listening to him.

He felt an unexpected thrill.

Emily was speechless.

She suddenly felt like she shouldn’t be in the car, but rather under it.

When Linda got home and entered the living room, she saw luxury items piled high on the coffee table and couch.

It was an impressive array.

At first delighted, she then bragged to the entering Elizabeth, “Jack is so good to me. This limited edition bag and these shoes, I’ve liked them for so long.

They were hard to get. Jack mentioned getting them for me, and I didn’t expect he’d manage so soon.”

Elizabeth’s gaze fell on the shoes in Linda’s hand, and she corrected her..
