Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime-Chapter 530 - : The First Sacred_1

Chapter 530: Chapter 530: The First Sacred_1

“What did I tell you yesterday? You’re not allowed to drink and chat with strange men.” Alexander Summers’s voice was low and deep, his eyes cold, “You seemed very happy dancing with Gavin Graves.”

“Young Master Graves is not a stranger,” Purple Summers defended herself, annoyed at Alexander’s dominance, “He has helped me before, and I couldn’t very well embarrass him in front of everyone, could I? Can’t you be reasonable?”

Alexander retorted, “He has improper thoughts about you!”

“Do you think every man in the world is after me?” Purple fumed at Alexander’s absurd accusations, “Young Master Graves simply saw me, came over to say hello, and asked me to dance. Isn’t it normal etiquette to invite an acquaintance to dance at a party? But you… your mind always goes to dirty places!”

Alexander pursed his lips and said nothing, sitting down on the sofa next to him, restlessly loosening his collar.

Purple was still angry, continuing, “You got engaged to Lily Howard, and I didn’t say anything about it. Now I just dance with someone else, and you go crazy?”

At her words, the temperature in Alexander’s eyes dropped even further, his gaze icy as he stared into Purple’s eyes, “Yes, why aren’t you angry? Purple, I’m engaged to Lily Howard. Don’t you care?”

Purple’s heart sank suddenly, as if pressed down by a huge stone, suffocating her.

“What do you expect me to do?” Her expression cooled, her clear, bright eyes covered with frost, “Should I cry, make a scene, threaten to hang myself? Would that do any good?”

It was a decision he had made on his own, and now, when it came down to it, he was blaming her for not protesting?

Purple turned and walked away, feeling both pained and stifled, unwilling to argue with Alexander over this subject.

Alexander wrapped his arms around her from behind with force. Purple struggled, “Let me go!”

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have said that,” Alexander apologized softly, holding her tight, as if he wanted to merge her into his very flesh, “Seeing you dance with Gavin Graves made me so angry… Purple, promise me you won’t dance with men again, I can’t bear it.”

His willingness to admit his fault softened Purple’s heart, but she couldn’t back down on a matter of principle, “Your demand is unreasonable, I can’t agree. Dancing at a party is a matter of etiquette, and if a male friend I know asks me to dance next time, I will definitely accept!”

Upon hearing this, anger flared up in Alexander once more, his gaze fierce as he looked at Purple.

To his surprise, Purple was even fiercer, like an angry and wronged kitten, her hackles raised as she glared at him, “It doesn’t matter if you disagree! You have no right to deprive me of my social freedom!”

Love is precious, but freedom is priceless.

Alexander weighed the pros and cons, thinking: Forget it, it’s not necessary to let her go to parties anymore, there’s no need to affect our relationship over this, to argue about such a small matter and create a rift between us, it’s not worth it.

The woman he had pursued with such difficulty, how could he lose her over a single dance with Gavin Graves?

Alexander brooded with heavy thoughts for a long time, deciding to let it go, sitting on the sofa with Purple, stroking her.

While comforting Purple, he was likewise convincing himself.

But as he did, the flame in his heart didn’t die down, instead, it blazed even brighter, a wildfire of jealousy.

“Your first dance was with him…” Alexander thought of this and almost gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Anything that involved a ‘first time’ mysteriously acquired a sacred significance.

Gavin’s casual act made Alexander feel as though his guardian goddess had been desecrated… The flames of anger roiled in his eyes, jealousy raging through him.

“Look at your petty behavior…” Purple was especially speechless at his immaturity, “Will it make you happy if I dance with you? It’s just a dance, do you have to be this upset?”
