Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Gavin Graves Visits_1

Gavin Graves is a few years older than Alexander Summers, yet the former is called “young master,” while the latter is styled “Master Xander.”

Because only the family head could be referred to as “Master.”

Although Alexander’s power might be greater than Gavin’s, the Howard family’s influence is vast, but their loyalties are scattered, with a few restless members constantly causing trouble for Alexander. The Graves Family, on the other hand, enjoys peaceful and obedient affections; Gavin commands immediate response in his house and is much more relaxed and comfortable than Alexander is.

Upon comparison, the two men’s power wasn’t actually that different.

Gavin’s sudden visit surprised both Alexander and Purple Summers.

Purple instinctively set down her tableware and asked, “Should I excuse myself first?”

“Excuse yourself for what?” Alexander frowned, “Do I embarrass you that much?”

Purple glared at him, “Is this about embarrassment? Last time at the party, he suspected I was with you. Now, if he sees me here early in the morning, wouldn’t that just confirm our relationship?”

“Let it be confirmed then, to stop him from coveting you,” Alexander said. “Go on, wear the diamond earrings I gave you last time.”

“Stop kidding around, those are too valuable for me to carry around all the time,” Purple thought Alexander was being absurd again.

“Besides, Young Master Graves knows my identity. What if he connects the dots and finds out your real identity is actually the young master of the Summers Family? What then?” Purple was very cautious, saying, “Even if Young Master Graves doesn’t think of that, if he spreads word about our relationship, would I have any way out? Your enemies would definitely murder me for revenge!”

With frightening thoughts, Purple nervously said, “I’m not as lucky as you. If I fell into Shark Bay or a viper’s nest, I’d definitely be done for!”

“Little imaginative head,” Alexander laughed as he tousled her hair. “Don’t worry, if he dares speak, I’ll reveal all his dirty laundry.”

Purple paused, asking, “What kind of dirt could Young Master Graves have?”

This question sounded uncomfortable to Alexander’s ears, and he retorted coldly, “Do you think he’s incapable of dirty deeds? Murder and arson, you think he hasn’t committed them?”

Purple couldn’t help but laugh, “He really doesn’t seem the type.”

Gavin didn’t always have the fierce and fearsome appearance that Alexander did. In her memory, Gavin was always gentle and refined, graceful in manner. She seemed to have never even seen him angry.

But then again, to be the heir of the Graves Family, a friendly smile alone wouldn’t be enough to hold the fort.

Alexander took the opportunity to caution her, “So, steer clear of these two-faced people in the future! Don’t get deceived!”

“Master Xander has quite a unique way of welcoming guests,” said Gavin with a smile, following the servant inside and greeting them both, “Early in the morning, and I hear you cursing me. Seems like my visit today is ill-timed.”

Alexander replied with a smile, “I was just praising you, on how well you play the gentleman.”

“…” Purple forcefully stomped on his foot under the table!

She had never seen someone so shameless; getting caught talking behind someone’s back and continuing to insult them to their face.

“Ms. Summers, good morning,” said Gavin, greeting Purple.

“Good morning, Young Master Graves,” Purple responded.

Alexander took Purple’s hand, intentionally placing it on the table, their red string bracelets shining conspicuously on their wrists.

Purple felt extremely awkward, wanting to withdraw her hand, but Alexander held on purposefully, refusing to let go.

Gavin’s peripheral vision swept over them, his eyes deep and restrained, his expression a calm and gentle smile.

“Why did you come over so early?” Alexander asked Gavin.

“On someone’s behalf, I came to ask Ms. Summers a question,” Gavin replied.
