Chapter 313 - Alex And Kelly (Five)
"You are wrong. I perfectly understand," said Alex, which caused Kelly's heart to beat fast.
Kelly stood on her feet and looked straight into Alex's eyes. She asked, "You said you understand? This is not some kind of joke, Prince Alexander."
"Absolutely!"
Kelly scrutinized Alex to reach the depth of his possible thoughts, but she could not guess what he was thinking at this moment.
The guy stayed calm. His beautiful gray eyes were intense like he was trying to drown her in the way he was staring at her. She makes a great effort to snap herself to get back to her senses.
Even though she was determined to push Alex away and put a wall between them, she didn't like how her heart was hopeful a little and contracted to what her head thought of him.
With this complicated feeling, Kelly scolded herself.
"I will repeat. She has no plan to entangle her life with him! You are not my boyfriend, and so you are not obliged to see my family!"
"How if I wanted to meet your family?"
There is a meaningful smile playing on Alex's lips that causes Kelly's heart to flutter.
"It was your father who invited me. You can't stop me." Alex added that made her speechless.
Kelly pursed her lips in frustration. She looks at Alex for several seconds, weighing what best words to say to him. Right now, frustration is growing in her heart.
'Dammit! What situation did I get into?' Kelly thought. She badly wanted to talk to Hailee and ask her for help and advice. But now that she has a husband and has a sensitive pregnancy, she could not just run to Hailee and share her feelings.

"Why would you think like that?" Hailee pouted. Her voice filled with hurt, and it upset her that Kelly thinks that way.
But remembering how she also lied to Kelly for almost a year when she was entangled with a Mistress Contract, she has no right to get mad. It was just her mood swing triggered at this moment.
"Even if I am married and have children, there should be no changes in our friendship, right? We are still the best of friends. Don't forget, we are also business partners, and our love for each other is better than siblings. Of course, I would love to hear what troubles you, and I would be angry if you seek advice from others over me."
Hailee's mouth is twitching as she sulks. Kelly stretched her arms and hugged Hailee. She explained,
"I'm worried about you; that's why I choose not to share anything yet. Of course, I plan to tell you, but I am looking for a perfect time."
It made her happy to hear from Hailee that there would be no changes, even if she had a family of her own now.
"I want to clear my mind and make a better plan of how I could explain to my family that Alex is not my boyfriend. Papa seeing him inside my bedroom naked is just an event we both did not expect to happen, either. It was more likely an accident. So, I flew to P Country in secret to avoid Alex."
And she had more reasons. That is why she was hiding from the guy.

After that night, her father caught Alex in her bedroom, mistaken as her boyfriend and believing they were already doing those things. The guy is pestering her the following days.
"Hey, my love…."
Kelly would immediately cover Alex's mouth and drag him to a corner. "What are you doing? How if someone hears you and they misunderstood!?"
Looking at her irritated face, Alex could not help contort a smile on the corner of his mouth. He took her hand, covering his mouth, then he would say,
"I'm only practicing. How would your family believe I am your boyfriend if we are awkward to each other?"
"Let my hand go." She tried to withdraw her hand, but Alex would only grip on it even tighter.
"As I've said, we should practice being intimate with each other."
Kelly gasped when Alex's warm breath landed on her neck, and she quickly bit her lower lip. And to cover her embarrassment, she lifted her other hand to push him away. But Alex is quick to reach for her waist, then clutches his palm into her hips, pulling her closer to him.
"Let me go…." Shot! She hated how she would only stutter her words every time she was inside his arms.
She hated herself for only behaving flustered in front of Alex. Her glib tongue only retreated, and this gave her a feeling of being not herself.
If Pitt would act like this in the past, she would already kick between his legs and give him a heavy punch. But when it comes to Alex, she is in a daze and has conflicted feelings.
Kelly's train of thoughts interrupted when Alex spoke up. She pulled herself back to her senses, and then she realized Alex's face was too close to her.
"What are you doing?" Again, she only stammered her words!
Alex replied, "How many times I would say that we need to practice." There were sparks in his eyes, and his mouth parted with a playful smile when he had said this.
And before Kelly could retort, Alex already covered her lips and kissed her. Having a taste of his mouth froze her for a long moment.
Of course, this is her first kiss! She was stubborn and snobbish to men; typically, no one had the interest to court her. And she had no interest in entertaining them either.
Alex's mouth is too hot on top of hers. She did not respond, as she didn't know what to do first. However, Alex didn't give up and was possessive about kissing her. She felt like he was encouraging her to imitate how his mouth moved on top of hers.
Of course, like what he said, they need to practice.
Wait…
This isn't right! They don't need to kiss in front of her family! So they need not practice! This guy is just making excuses and seizing the opportunity that he can kiss her!

Kelly shook her head upon recalling everything that happened in these passing days. She chooses not to tell Hailee about it, but she carefully shares what is only necessary to share.
"Hey, ladies! Fresh juices and freshly baked blueberry pie." Alex showed up in the greenhouse carrying a tray of snacks.
"Oh, my gosh! My favorite blueberry pie!" Hailee immediately drools, looking at the pie, and she could not wait to have a taste of it.
"Don't tell me, you are the one who baked that?" asked Kelly with curiosity. She wondered if this prince had spare time to step into the palace kitchen.
"Of course! This is a family recipe!" Alex was very proud when he said this.
Kelly had doubts at first, but as she sees, Alex is actually not that timid prince, the reports say. Honestly, she looks forward to discovering more interesting traits he had.
"Here…" Alex sliced the blueberry pie. He serves one slice for Kelly and three pieces for Hailee. "Each one for the babies."
Alex was staring at her when he said that. She rolled her eyes, mumbling in her head.
'Like we've done it already.'
