Chapter 196,Coolest Girl in Town

It was already in the afternoon by the time Elise woke up. Her stomach growled as she took a look atthe clock. After noticing that it was already 3:00PM, Elise pushed her blanket aside and got off the bed.Then, she started stretching before heading out of her room. “Stella, is there anything that I can eat?I’m starving!” Stella quickly replied, “What would you like to eat, Miss Sinclair? I’ll ask the kitchen toprepare it now.”

After contemplating for a moment, Elise answered, “Just get me a bowl of noodles! I want to fill up mystomach.” “Alright, Miss Sinclair. Please hang on for a moment.” Elise mumbled an answer and turnedaround to see Laura and Leonard chatting at the garden backyard and quickly walked over to them.“Grandpa, Grandma…” Laura turned around to see Elise, who looked as if she had just woken up.“Why are you up so late?” At this moment, Elise stuck her tongue out in embarrassment. “I stayed uplate to play games last night and only slept in the morning.

That’s why I woke up late today.” Instead of saying anything, Laura motioned for Elise to sit next to her.She couldn’t help but be worried when she recalled what Brendan told them earlier in the morning.“Ellie, I need to ask you something.” Meanwhile, Elise had a nonchalant look on her face. “What is it,Grandma?” Laura leaned toward her before asking in a low voice, “Ellie, have you been into designingagain?” An odd look flashed past Elise’s face. However, she gave an honest answer since she had onlyaltered her engagement gown and wasn’t involved in designing anything from scratch.

“Grandma, I only altered my wedding gown. I didn’t design anything.” A shocked Laura elaborated,“Brendan came over in the morning and tried to pry about you, but your grandpa and I know that you’reno longer involved with designing wedding gowns. So, we kept quiet and didn’t reveal anything.” Elisewas curious as to why Brendan would attempt to ask her grandparents about her. Did he discover

something? How is that even possible? “Grandma, why did he suddenly ask you guys about this?” Itwas something that Laura felt odd about as well.

Then, she asked, “Didn’t you say that you altered the gown? Could it be that he noticed something onthe gown? Ellie, I’ll always support you even if you want to continue designing wedding gowns. Youdon’t have to hide your interests. I really hope that you can pursue the things that you like.” Elisereached out to hold Laura’s arm. “I know that! It’s just that I made a promise to someone not to beinvolved with the designing of wedding gowns as Lily unless we return to the fashion industry together.So, I’m not planning to do so right now. All I want is to complete my studies and enroll in college tocontinue with my tertiary education. Who knows I might even venture into something new?”

“What can I even tell you at this point? You already obtained a double degree abroad and you caneasily take over the family business without even returning to your studies. Your grandpa and I believethat you’ll be able to handle the family business well.” “I’m still young, though!” Elise whined. “I’m only18 and I still want to enjoy life as a student.” “Alright. You should continue pursuing your studies if that’swhat you want! As long as you’re doing what you like, I’ll support you unconditionally.” “Thank you,Grandma!” She exclaimed before she inched closer to Laura’s side.

Despite that, all she thought about was Brendan’s words. It’s impossible for Brendan to associate mewith Lily when all I did was rely on my thoughts to alter the gown. This should be a coincidence. At leastthat was what Elise thought, so she didn’t dwell too deep into it. In the blink of an eye, it was time forthe school to reopen and for Leonard as Laura to head home. As a result, the large house becamequiet and empty again.

Alexander was already waiting downstairs in the morning as Elise hurried downstairs whilecomplaining, “Stella, why didn’t you wake me up on the first day of school? I’m going to be late now.”Stella gave Alexander an innocent look and remained silent before he elaborated, “I was the one who

asked Stella not to wake you up so that you can have more sleep.” Then, Elise shot him a coquettishlook. “Hey! I can’t be late on my first day of school.” Meanwhile, he reached out to hold her hand.“Come on, we won’t be late. Get in the car. I’ll send you to school.”

Upon seeing how adamant he was, Elise chose to believe him and entered the car while Alexander slidinto the driver’s seat to start the car engine. He drove smoothly the entire journey, which allowed her toeat breakfast while studying for the new semester’s subjects. Since this was the last semester of highschool with only three months before the finals, it was the most stressful period of any student’sschooling life.

At approximately five minutes before class, Alexander’s car stopped in front of the school’s entranceand Elise sighed in relief. “I’m going to class now. Have fun at work. Bye!” Yet, the car door didn’t bulgeat all. “Alexander, why did you turn on the child safety lock?” He deeply gazed at her. “Aren’t weengaged now?” As she stared at the diamond ring on her hand, Elise mumbled an answer beforeAlexander’s voice rang out again, “Since we are engaged, shouldn’t we do that before we part ways…Hmm?” She blinked as she solemnly asked, “What do we do?

Alexander, can you be more upfront? I’m really going to be late now!” A helpless Alexandersighed. Looks like she really has no experience when it comes to this kind of stuff. Still, he couldalways take his time to slowly train her. “Come here.” While Elise obediently leaned toward him, hequickly planted a kiss on her forehead. “This is all I want. Do you get it now?” Upon knowing what hemeant, her face quickly reddened.

“You… I… What are you still doing? Unlock the door!” Alexander finally allowed her to get out of thecar. While he watched her leaving, he announced, “Come out the moment when class is done. I’ll bewaiting here for you.” Elise’s back was still facing him, so she didn’t say anything in response.

Rather, she waved her hand in acknowledgment and fastened her pace. When she arrived at class,she noticed that the atmosphere was quiet and everyone was focused on their schoolwork in theirseats. Then, she followed suit. When she noticed that Mikayla’s table, which was next to hers, wasempty, she couldn’t help but wonder why Mikayla wasn’t at school.

While Elise was deep in thought, Danny came over with a glass of fruit juice and placed it on her table.“Boss, here’s some juice.” It was at this moment when she asked, “Have you seen Mikayla? Why didn’tshe come today?” He replied, “Boss, didn’t you know? Mikayla has dropped out of school and came tosettle the withdrawal procedure before school reopened. I heard that her family is migrating and they’replanning to leave in a day or two.”
