Chapter 423 Charisma
Even Trevor was starting to warm up to Claude, and the whole family looked merry. Well, everyone
except Alexander.
Ever since Elise came to the table, she would glance at Alexander. She noticed his silence, so she gave
him some food. “Here. It’s your favorite.”
Alexander looked at his bowl, and his frown disappeared. He paused for a moment before he started to
eat, but he looked at Claude coldly.
Claude met his gaze, and he knew Alexander was mocking him, but all he did was smile, as if he didn’t
care about Alexander. Fortunately, none of them got into any argument, so dinner went relatively well.
After the servant came and cleared the table, Claude stood up and stretched his arm, then he huddled

“Third room on the right in the backyard,” Elise said calmly.
Claude craned his neck. “Where are you staying then?”
“Second room on the left,” Elise answered impatiently.
“Who’s in the first room?” he asked again.
Elise gritted her teeth, but she said nothing.
“That’s my room,” Trevor raised his voice. “You got a problem with that?”
“Of course not.” He grinned and wrapped his arm around Trevor’s neck, then he whispered something
into his ear.
For some reason, Trevor’s eyes widened in excitement, then he shook Claude’s hands. “My room’s
yours now.”
Alexander was shocked. He and Elise were already engaged, but Trevor was still on guard and never
allowed him to move in. This guy is only here for a day, but now he gets to stay beside Elise? If this goes
on, I’m going to lose my status here.
Jeanie noticed that, and she started thinking about the whole situation. Wait, does this boy like Elise too?
She did like Claude, but he was too much of a sweet talker and had no sense of personal space. He’s a
playboy. I can’t let him get together with Elise.
“Trevor,” Jeanie said. “My room’s dark and humid all the time. Can I take yours?”
Trevor was filial, so he would not refuse his mother’s request. “Of course, Mom.”
“Thank you.” She nodded and looked at Claude. “Max, I live in the first room on the right. It’s big, so I
hope you won’t hate it.”
“I won’t. I’m a big guy, so I can live in dark spaces. It’s great for me. Don’t mind it,” Claude agreed readily.

husband.
Claude didn’t mind. He took Trevor away and had a hushed talk. When they came back, Claude gave
him two bottles of meds.
After Elise was done performing acupuncture on Joseph that night, Alexander took her back to her room.
The moment they came to her room, the door to the right room suddenly opened, and Claude came out.
“Oh, back from your date, Elise?”
“Why are you here?” Elise asked. This room is the furthest one from the front yard. It’s quiet and
spacious. It’s supposed to belong to Grandma and Grandpa.
“I managed to move in. Charisma talks.” He looked up arrogantly and smirked at Alexander.
And Alexander stormed off angrily.
