“No way, you got it all wrong; that wasn’t my intention. I was just worried about the possible trouble
that’ll crop up.” After all, many people would try to suck up to Quentin, considering his identity. Elise
had only expressed that they were on somewhat close terms, and already, there was a whole queue of
people trying to get to him through her.
And Quentin knew this better than anyone else.
“You’re getting even more crafty by the day, my girl!” Having said that, Quentin looked at Alexander, his
eyes narrowing slightly when he recalled Madeline’s words earlier. He then quickly continued, “How
has life been treating you recently, Ellie? If anything happens, come straight to me! You’ll always have
my full support.”
“I know, Papa! Don’t worry about that! I’ve been doing just fine.”
“That’s all I need to hear!” After saying that, Quentin seemingly thought of something. He then dug out
a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed it over to her. “I’m very proud of you, knowing that you got
into Tissote University. These are the keys to the house that I bought for you near campus. You can
stay there. It’ll be more convenient for you that way.”
Elise stared at the keys. Her heart wouldn’t stop thumping furiously in her chest. Property prices in
Tissote were sky-high; just a single studio apartment would set one back millions already.
“This is too expensive a gift. I can’t accept this.”
Much to her surprise, Quentin became unhappy when she said that, and he shoved the keys right into
her hands. “This is for my darling daughter, so it’s not expensive to me at all! I’m going to be upset if
you don’t accept it.”
“Okay, Papa! I’ll take it.”
It was only then that Quentin’s expression lightened up. “That’s my girl, being so considerate and polite
even with her godfather! Say, when are you going to Tissote? It’ll be easier for me to help you make the
necessary arrangements.”
“Early September, I guess!”
“Okay, got it. Let me send you two back. Or, do you want to go to the Griffith Residence instead?”
“No, I already moved out. I currently stay at a place at Bollinger Gardens that I bought myself,” Elise
quickly said.
Quentin’s eyes narrowed slightly at that before he asked, “Ellie, did something upsetting happen to you
recently?”
Elise shook her head. “I’m fine! I just thought that I was imposing too much on the Griffiths’ hospitality,
so I decided to move out myself.”
Quentin clearly wasn’t buying any of that, but he didn’t call her out on her lie either. He simply said, “No
matter what happens, remember to tell me, okay? Don’t keep everything to yourself.”
“Don’t worry, Papa. I’m fine, really!”
Quentin felt even more heartbroken when he heard her say that, but he didn’t show any sign of it on his
face.
Elise was the first one to get out of the car when he dropped Elise and Alexander off at their
destination. However, seeing how Alexander still remained seated in the car, she proceeded to call him.
But then, Alexander said, “Head in first. There’s something that I want to talk to Mr. Fassbender about.”
Elise asked, “Why are you guys acting so mysterious all of a sudden, Papa? Can’t I listen in too?”
Quentin chuckled. “How can a woman listen in on a conversation between two men? Hurry upstairs
now! Get some rest!”
Elise pouted. “Okay, Papa! I’m going now. See you later.” She then waved and proceeded to make her
way into the building. After the car door was closed again, the atmosphere between Alexander and
Quentin inexplicably changed.
Neither of them spoke, but Alexander could sense a certain pressure weighing down on him. It was the
first time someone made him feel that way.
Quentin quirked an eyebrow slightly and said, “I’m not going to beat around the bush, Alex, so let me
just cut right to the chase. I’ve watched Ellie grow up with my own eyes. I know her personality and her
feelings better than anyone. Since you’ve chosen her, then I ask you to take good care of her. Do not
let her suffer, ever. As for your mother, there are certain things that I can’t possibly say. Still, I will have
to remind you of this: regardless of anything, Ellie has me watching her back…”
Alexander understood Quentin’s intentions. “Rest assured, Mr. Fassbender! Elise is my fiancée, so
naturally, I’ll protect her from anything. Even my mother cannot challenge my decision! I ask you to not
worry about this.”
Having heard his reply, Quentin felt a lot more at ease. “All right, I’ll trust you for now because of what
you’ve said.”
Having gotten out of the car, Alexander then watched the car drive off into the distance. Elise appeared
out of nowhere after the car left and gently tapped him on the shoulder. “What did Papa say to you?
You don’t exactly look good.”
Alexander looked at Elise standing before him, and then he reached out to hug her, saying to her in the
softest and gentlest of tones, “Your godfather asked me to take good care of you.”
“Just that?”
“That’s not all.”
“What else did he say?”
“He also told me not to bully you, or he will make me regret it.”
A huge smile spread across Elise’s face upon hearing that before she ribbed him. “Haha, now you
know, don’t you? I’ve got someone powerful backing me.”
“Mmhm, I know now, so I have to be even nicer to you.”
Elise couldn’t restrain herself anymore. She burst into laughter. “Isn’t that something you should be
doing in the first place?”
“That’s right! Mr. Fassbender’s words just strengthened my resolve.”
Alexander was serious when he said that. However, deep down, he knew that nothing had changed
even though Quentin’s words had had an effect on him. His original desires aligned perfectly with what
Quentin said. This was a tacit understanding between two men, all for someone that they both wanted
to protect.
“Let’s go home! It’s getting late already.” Alexander took the initiative and led her inside. The two of
them then went upstairs. They had just arrived home when Elise got a phone call from Danny.
“Hey Boss, your letter of admission is here. When should I bring it over?”
“Tomorrow, then.”
“Sure do, Boss! Once again, congratulations! By the way, lemme tell you another piece of good news:
my own admission letter is here too. When the time comes, we can go to Tissote for university
together, even if we won’t be attending the same uni…”
Elise could hear the excitement in his voice. “Congrats! You got what you wished for!”
“Thanks, Boss! I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for you.” Danny was absolutely sincere when he
said that.
Elise smiled. “It’s all thanks to your own hard work. I just gave you a little push.”
She might have said that, but Danny knew that if it wasn’t for Elise, he might not even have gotten into
university.
After hanging up, Elise absentmindedly placed her phone on the table. She walked over to the French
window, taking in the night view of the city. Time sure flies. It’s been nearly a year since I came to this
city. Many things have happened during this one year. And during this period, I’ve grown a lot…
The next day, Elise went to the studio. She had just taken one step into her office when Brendan came
over to her. “Elise!”
Elise raised her head to look at him. “What is it? Did something happen?”
