"But…" said Heather, frowning and looking puzzled, "Isn't Allen Christopher, your half-brother? Your grandfather's birthday party has nothing to do with him. Why does he want to attend it? Isn't he too shaless, Alex?"
Alexander didn't respond. Heather looked at him in surprise. As Alexander stared at her with deep eyes, she asked in puzzlent, "Alex, what's wrong with you?"
The struggle and hesitation in his eyes gradually faded. He fixed his eyes on her with a determined look. "Heather, I have sothing very important to tell you."
She was more bewildered. "Huh? What about your grandfather's birthday party..."
"It's not urgent," he said in a serious tone. "Heather, haven't you always been curious about how we t?"
She looked at him in amazent. Why did Alexander suddenly ntion it?
"Actually, I didn't want to tell you before, because it wasn't a good mory and I didn't want you to rember it, and…" his eyes dimd slightly as he said, "and because I was afraid that when you rembered it, you'd hate . But now I think you should know about it, which will be fair to you."
Her eyes sparkled as she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll hate you after I know it?"
"You bet," he said with a wry smile but continued with a serious look on his face, "but no matter what choice you'll make, I won't give up on you."
She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. She was afraid that Alexander would say that he would respect her decision. If so, she might be very angry.
"Actually..." Before he could speak, she suddenly kissed him on the lips.
Her kiss was very gentle, like a light touch, and then she stopped.
He looked at her in surprise. "Heather?"
"Alex, I've already rembered it," she said with a smile.
"... Do you rember?" There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he took her hand with a little strength. He was obviously very nervous.
"Well, I rember how we t and how we were kidnapped together," she said with a smile, a touch of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
"Then... what's your decision?" he asked, looking at her quietly. Even if he had made up his mind and decided whatever decision Heather made, he wouldn't give up being with her. In his heart of hearts, however, he still worried that Heather would be angry with him.
"Isn't my decision obvious?" she sighed helplessly. The next mont, she got up and sat in his arms, taking the initiative to kiss his lips again.
His pupils dilated suddenly. He looked in disbelief at the girl who he had been missing very much.
She was still kissing him. Unlike the light kiss before, her lips rubbed against his in an inexperienced but firm way.
His eyes grew deep. He put his hand around her waist, pried open her teeth, and deepened the kiss.
At the end of the kiss, she leaned panting against his chest.
How could Alexander not understand her at this point?
"Alex, I've never felt that eting you was an unpleasant mory," she whispered. "I was young then, and I didn't know what it was to be afraid. Besides, I felt so excited and funny to have you around. That is my most precious mory."
"Heather..." he called and hugged her contentedly, but there was still so doubt in his eyes. "Are you really not angry that I didn't co to see you that year?"
"Who said I wasn't angry?!" She looked at him angrily. "I'm very angry, okay? You went back on your word. You don't even know how long I've been waiting for you! But then I heard that you and your uncle had gone abroad. I thought maybe you had a good ti abroad and you had already made new friends, so you didn't want to co to see . Although I was a little sad, I thought as long as you lived a good life, it was good enough."
"It's not that, Heather..." There was a glint of sadness in his eyes. "I know the gap between you and . I hope that when we et again, I have a status equal to yours."
She looked at him in shock. "Have you, have you had a crush on since you were so young? Why are you so precocious? Wait, does that an that H & C INC is really short for my na and your surna?"
"... Mmm," he answered as his ears were strangely red. He looked away and whispered, "What if soone wins your heart if I don't make up my mind soon enough?"
He had started his plan so early, but another man nearly stole his girlfriend. If he didn't show up, Sebastian King, Heather's childhood fiancé, could be the winner. He could tell Sebastian cared very much about Heather. If he didn't make himself strong enough, how could he compete with Sebastian?
Heather chuckled. She was very happy in her heart. She had made a random remark in front of Helena, but she hadn't expected that it would be true.
She could not help blowing in Alexander's ear. "Are you shy?"
His eyes were deep, and he kissed her directly on the lips, blocking what she was about to say.
She was weak from his kiss before she rested quietly on his chest. "Alex, it's you. That's great."
"Thank you, Heather. Thank you for waiting." He kissed her contentedly. It was great they didn't miss each other.
After having a heart-to-heart talk with him, Heather felt strangely sweet in her heart.
"By the way, your grandfather's birthday party..." she spoke and looked anxiously at him.
"Never mind, I'll take care of it," he comforted her, his eyes slightly dark. It was ti to put an end to his feud with the Christopher family.
***
Soon, it was Grandpa Joseph's birthday party. Alexander took Heather with him to celebrate Grandpa Joseph's birthday.
Alexander's uncle Shane Joseph, who held the party, directly booked a hotel of H & C Inc.. Heather and Alexander had just entered the banquet hall when Heather saw Allen in the crowd.
It was not that Heather wanted to pay any attention to him. It was just that Allen seed to know that there were so many
important people he could never et at ordinary tis, and deliberately spoke loud to make others pay attention to him.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man with eyes like Alexander's. Heather knew at one glance that he must be Alexander's father, Gary Christopher.
Over these days, Alexander had told her all about his relationship with the Christopher family, so she had no good impression of the father and son.
"What are they doing here?" she asked, frowning with displeasure. She had thought that Alexander, who had known that they would be up to no good, would keep them out of the party.
