The next morning Alex King got up early and left the house, before Lucy woke up to go to the hospital to visit her mother.
When Lucy Williams woke up, when she left the room she did not see any anomaly and that made her believe that Alex did not spend the night at home, and now she was completely alone.
He walked around the house for a while before returning to the bedroom. Alex King's room was simple. Apart from a bed, there was only a desk and a wardrobe. There was a small box on the desk. As for what was inside the box, Lucy Williams did not know and had no desire to open it. He did not like to invade other people's privacy; As for the wardrobe, she didn't have the urge to look either.
Suddenly, he felt that Alex King was different from what he had imagined, but at the same time similar to his description. This gave him a strange and mysterious feeling.
...
Alex spent most of the day with his mother, that was the advantage of the price paid for the first class treatment, after leaving the hospital, when he got home at night, Lucy Williams had already gone to sleep. Seeing that the lights were off, he entered quietly, and went to sleep on the living room floor.
Lucy Williams heard the sound of the door and knew that Alex King had returned. He wondered if he would come back this late every night.
Alex King got up in the morning and finished a series of martial arts before washing himself. He had decided to increase his fighting ability, and thanks to the deep knowledge given to him by the beggar, not only did his understanding of the fight improve, but his body also acquired these new abilities faster.
Lucy Williams, who was also wide awake, heard the sound of Alex King in the room, when she came out she saw Alex King practicing martial arts and was surprised.
"Oh, you're awake ..." Alex King turned his head and saw Lucy Williams, but did not add anything after that sentence. After a long awkward pause, she continued, "Why do you look so bad? Didn't you eat yesterday?
Alex King saw that the atmosphere was calm between the two and thus took the initiative to start a conversation. However, he didn't think that Lucy Williams shook her head and said, "I wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat yesterday."
When Alex King heard that she didn't eat yesterday, he was speechless. If he ate nothing for a whole day, it would be fine for him, since it would not be the first time, but it would not be the same for Lucy Williams; she was not used to being in need. It was not surprising that his complexion was so bad.
Go wash first, we'll eat later, Alex King said only a few words, and went back to his training.
After Lucy Williams was ready, Alex King took her to the nearby street restaurant and had a few bowls of congee and rice and some muffins.
Seeing the appetite of Alex King, who ate two bowls of congee and 5 buns, Lucy Williams was full after barely eating half a bun and half a bowl of rice, despite having eaten nothing yesterday.
Why did you have to get married to get rid of the Robinsons? There was no other way- »Alex King couldn't finish his words before being interrupted by Lucy Williams again.
You don't need to ask a lot; you just need to know that this is a deal between us, that's all. Ever since Alex King took that card away from her without hesitation, Lucy Williams felt her mood take a turn for the worse. He doubted the nonchalant Alex King he had seen for so long at the fruit stand was a fake.
If Alex King asked this question when they met in front of the cyber café, perhaps he would tell Alex King that getting rid of the Robinson Family is not that easy. But now, he didn't want to say anything to Alex King. He would pay the money and Alex King would do his part; this was just a simple deal. After the deal, they would part ways, and the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.
As if noticing the change in Lucy Williams' tone, Alex King smiled weakly and dropped the subject. Although he appreciated Lucy Williams for giving him the strength to carry on when he needed it most, he knew that she was married to him now out of necessity, and that there were no real feelings involved.
After a few days, Alex King's life returned to what it was before. She found that as long as she didn't bring food home, Lucy Williams basically wouldn't eat. He didn't know that when Lucy Williams left the Williams family, she only brought one card and she gave him that card. Now, she had no money with her. After what happened the last time in the family village, she was afraid to call her parents to ask for money, for fear of causing problems for them. Also, Alex King took $ 500,000 from her. It wasn't much if he ate with Alex King's money.
If it was just Alex King, he really didn't care what he ate and he didn't even care if he didn't. But, Lucy Williams was here, so she had to bring food to Lucy Williams every day. However, after a few days, she discovered that Lucy Williams ate very little of the food she brought home. The sigh; I knew that Lucy Williams probably had some eating habits and was not used to eating take out.
Therefore, Alex King could only buy vegetables and cook himself. He didn't have a lot of money with him, and after a while the money that was left was very little.
Meanwhile, he looked at the Lucy Williams card. He thought she lived in his house and ate with his money, so it wouldn't matter if he used her card for some money. He didn't want to keep the remaining money at the end of the deal anyway, so he only needed it to cover his needs.
But what disappointed Alex King was that he was unable to withdraw 5 cents, much less $ 500,000 from the Lucy Williams card; there was no other reason than the card was frozen.
Although many things did not work out successfully, there was one good, and it was that Lucy Williams did not dislike Alex King's cooking. In fact, he ate quite a bit each time, which made it easier for Alex King to rest. Otherwise, if Lucy Williams became fragile as if a slight gust could knock her down, and since Lucy was still attending college, nasty rumors would soon start to spread.
Also, he really liked Lucy Williams and even he had started to harbor feelings for her, so he didn't want to see her starve either. For Lucy Williams it was very strange; Although Alex King bought small amounts of vegetables at home, when Alex King started cooking the food it was not very good, but as the days went by, the taste and preparation got better and better, as a result she ate more every day. Perhaps because Alex King's cooking suited her taste, just a week later she found she was a little fatter than before.
Lucy Williams asked Alex King to bring her some books from the library every time she went out. And the time he spent at home after college, he usually stayed in the yard reading books. Doing this for Alex King was not a burden, as he also brought books home to him, and thus his knowledge in many areas was increasing at a great speed.
Alex King, I want to ask you for help. Aside from borrowing some books, Lucy Williams rarely spoke to Alex King, and this was actually the first time she had taken the initiative to speak to Alex King.
"What is it? Say it, I'm in a good mood today "Alex King had finished all the Chinese medicine books in the library and because of that, he was in a good mood today, he just had to wait for the opportunity to learn with a teacher and he could consolidate that knowledge.
"Could you lend me $ 2,000?" Lucy Williams said calmly. To her, she thought that Alex King would not refuse to lend her $ 2,000 because all of Alex King's money was hers before.
"I have no money". Alex King's good humor soured a bit after Lucy Williams' request. He only had $ 3,000 in his pocket right now, and Lucy Williams just wanted to borrow $ 2,000 all of a sudden.
"You ..." Lucy Williams was quite angry, as she thought he was so mean. He took $ 500,000 from him and still didn't want to lend him $ 2,000. How could a person be like this?
«If you eliminate the interest of the 500,000 that I gave you, it would be enough for the 2000. You are a man and you have many things to do in the future. How can you be like this? Lucy Williams didn't think she would really speak her mind, and she seemed to be very reasonable.
When Alex King saw that Lucy Williams was beginning to beg, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Stop, stop, stop ..." Then he took out a roll of bills and gave Lucy Williams $ 2,000 when he said, "This is the only one. time. Next time, don't ask me for money because it costs me a lot to make money.
Lucy Williams was dismissive, but ultimately did not reprimand Alex King. She thought that if her money wasn't easy to make, then no one's money was easy. He just needed to give him a place to live, and he made $ 500,000.
The reason Lucy Williams wanted to borrow $ 2,000 was because she had no money for herself to fuel the car and she had no phone credit. Also, she had to buy some feminine products… This made her feel uncomfortable.
