The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 69 "| don't believe that you're overstepping in the slightest. In fact, I'm glad that you're taking Alexander's well-being into your own hands. It's been made clear that he doesn't seem to put much care into himself, recently. | am glad he has you to do that for him at the moment," she explained. "| just don't know what | could do to help me, though," | said while stirring a little sugar into my tea Wendy hummed in thought. She took a small sip of her tea and stopped. | watched her brows raise as though an idea had just come through.

"What about a caffeine alternative?" she suggested. "That's not a bad idea," Nina said. "What do you think, Evelyn?" The corners of my lips curved as the idea rushed through my mind. "I think | have the perfect alternative in mind. But I'm going to have to do a little research on it." That evening, having swiftly showered and pinned part of my hair back, | went over to the wardrobe to pick out a simple dress for dinner. It was nothing too formal but it was one of the ones that Claire had designed specially for me.

---- I'd gotten used to Alexander being the one to pick out my clothes, mainly because | thought it was somewhat cute and funny. But | needed him to be made aware that | was fully capable of dressing myself when the occasion called for it. When | heard the gentle knock on the door, | rushed over to answer it, finding Alexander patiently waiting. His eyes roamed over me, taking in my appearance and gently nodding his head. "Very nice," he said smoothly.

The two of us headed to the dining room where | was then able to display my intel on knowing what silverware to use along with my posture in mind. The conversation was kept light and casual but | could tell that Alexander was impressed by my performance from the notable smirk on my face. 1 It made me feel warm inside. As dinner came and went, Alexander offered to walk me back to my room like had been for the past couple of days. "As much as | would like that, I'm actually headed to the library," | said. He gave me a questionable look.

"Why the library?" "There's a few books I'm looking to check out." ---- He narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "On what?" | gave him a calm smile. "I'm thinking about trying out a new tea. After many hours of research and ongoing trials in the kitchen, | managed to master the art of making the perfect Louis-Bosch tea latte. It was an ideal alternative for all the coffee Alexander had been drinking lately. Wendy was kind enough to sample a few of the first trials | had gone through. It was already late but | was. deeply hoping that he would at least give it a chance.

As | finished pouring the warm foam over the top of the mug, | turned to one of the staff members. "Do you know where I'd be able to find Alexander at this time?" "He's likely to be in his office, but he doesn't like to be disturbed." Wendy waved them off and shook her head. "They're right about him being in his office. Just knock before you go inside." | nodded my head and carefully picked up the latte. ---- When | made it to his office, | gently knocked on the door but never heard a response. | bit the inside of my cheek and made the bold decision to open the door.

The second | slipped into the room, | spotted Alexander asleep at his desk. As | got closer, my eyes widened and nearly let the the glass mug slip from my hands. What the hell?!
