Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Unspeakable (Monthly ticket extra)_1

Jane McCain’s mouth hung open as she struggled to utter a complete sentence.

“Who is ‘he’?” Zara Jameson was confused.

“He… he…” Jane McCain wanted to say, he’s the famous Mr. King of the Howard Family!

So the man in that car must be the Howard family head! Purple’s boyfriend is actually the Howard Family head?! Could she be seeing things because she drank too much?!

As words came to her lips, Jane McCain suddenly remembered her mother’s admonition.

Ruby Spencer once told her, “When you’re with friends, sometimes you need to rein it in a bit, especially with Miss Summers of the Summers Family. Don’t ever offend her. I know you too well; you seem sensible enough usually, but once you get comfortable with friends, you speak your mind too freely and that can offend.”

At that time, Jane McCain was dismissive, replying, “It’s alright, they all know my character, and besides, Purple isn’t the petty type.”

Ruby Spencer started to speak several times but stopped herself, and in the end, she sighed and said no more.

Now, could it be that her mother had sensed the connection between Purple Summers and the Howard family head long ago?

Jane McCain’s mind was in chaos, trying desperately to recall if she had said anything bad about Purple’s boyfriend in front of her.

But a mind dulled by alcohol and frantic worry couldn’t come up with anything, leaving her with an anxious pounding in her chest.

“So Purple really did start dating someone…” Zara Jameson said, surprised and a little melancholic, “And she never even told us.”

Feeling secretly kept from what she believed was her closest friend inevitably brought a sense of loss.

Zara Jameson comforted herself, “…everyone has their own privacy, and I guess Purple was too shy to tell us.”

Hearing Zara Jameson’s emotive words, Jane felt a chill.

Not telling was the right move!

How could she talk about such a thing? It would either bring enemies seeking revenge or drown her in other women’s jealousy! With those from prestigious families all vying to marry into the top four families, Gavin Graves was only an heir to a family head and was already attracting a swarm of women—let alone Roy Howard, who is actually the family head!

…However, it seemed Roy Howard kept a clean slate around him? There’d never been any rumors about him, and there was talk of a fiancée, but recent news clarified there was no such engagement.

Could it be that the Howard family head broke off a marriage contact for Purple Summers?

In just moments, Jane McCain had conjured up an entire romantic drama in her head! She was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice the taxi arriving and ended up being dragged into it by Zara Jameson in a daze…

…

Purple Summers was straddling Alexander Summers’s lap.

She tilted her head back, drinking slowly from the soda bottle Alexander was holding.

“Burp.” She belched, no longer wanting to drink.

“Do you still feel sick?” Alexander asked, setting down the bottle and wrapping his arms around Purple’s waist.

Purple shook her head and pressed her face against Alexander’s chest.

Her face was burning up; she rubbed it against him, seeking a cool spot to reduce the fever.

But Alexander’s chest was firm and warm. The sound of his heartbeat throbbed in her ears, making her head spin and feel loud.

She continued to rub against him, finding his face’s temperature just right, and stuck her face against his.

“This feels nice,” Purple murmured with half-closed eyes.

Alexander had never seen her this clingy and found it amusing yet refreshing.

He turned his cheek slightly, brushing against her soft lips.

Alexander pecked her lightly, his lips cool, smooth, like silken tofu.

The cool touch of his lips caught Purple’s attention, and she moved closer, imitating his earlier gesture, gently kissing him.

“…It’s sweet,” Purple muttered drowsily, her tongue softly probing forward.
