The look on her face told Alexander he needed to finish the meal, or she would be unhappy.
"Brittany, don’t be willful."
He knew she meant well but did not want to encourage her.
Having expectations dashed was the worst.Therefore, he chose to dampen her expectations from the start.

"Mr.Russell."
Edward, who had been on guard outside the door, heard his nbeing called and immediately entered.

"I'll drive the other car," Alexander said.
"Send her back, then go hand rest yourself."
