BXBX NOVEL Chapter 299 Williams Likes Alvin?
All three ladies looked at Susan curiously as they wondered whose nakedness she had seen.
Susan grinned as she said, "I have a twin brother, remember?"
"You... spy on Sir Williams when he is... unclad?" Paulina asked in horror, making Susan shudder.
"Don\'t be silly. We\'ve been together for almost 19 years, so it\'s only natural that I must have seen him without a shirt before. Would you like to see it?" Susan asked Paulina, who bobbed her head up and down before she realized she was nodding and not shaking her head and immediately shook her head instead.
Alicia almost chuckled. Were they really talking about guys without shirts as if it were something sacred when many men went shirtless in 2020? These girls would probably drown from nosebleeds if they transmigrated to 2020.
"You don\'t mind us all seeing Alvin\'s body?" Alicia whispered, and Susan\'s brows pulled together.
"What?" She asked in confusion, and Alicia grinned.
"Spying on them while they are bathing means we all get to see what Alvin looks like without his clothes on. You don\'t mind, do you?" Alicia asked once again, and when Susan merely looked at her in confusion, she added.
"I\'m asking you this because I mind. I don\'t want any of you looking at Harold. He is only mine to look at." Alicia said seriously.
"I can look at Alvin while you look at Prince Harold. Luciana and Paulina don\'t have to spy with us," Susan suggested reasonably.
"Why do you get to look at Alvin and we can\'t? And why are you eager to spy on Alvin in the first place when Sir Harvey is the one you are betrothed to?" Luciana asked with an arched brow, and Susan blushed when she realized her slip.
"I—" Susan opened and closed her mouth, not knowing what explanation to give.
Alicia giggled as she asked, "Do you think they spied on us while we had our bath?"
Hearing her question, Luciana, Susan, and Paulina raised their hands to cover their chests instinctively as they looked at her in horror, making Alicia look at them in amusement as she wondered why they were reacting that way when they had "bathed" with most of their clothes on.
"Why? You want to spy on them, but you don\'t want them to spy on you?" She asked, and Susan dropped her hands.
"It\'s different. I\'m a lady. Only my husband is meant to see my body," Susan explained, and Luciana nodded in agreement.
"What if they spied on us? What if Alvin saw you?" Alicia asked with a teasing grin, enjoying herself as a blush crept up Susan\'s face.
"He wouldn\'t do something like that. Prince Harold wouldn\'t either," Susan said confidently, even though the thought of it made her feel embarrassed.
"Then there is no reason we should spy on them. By the way, I was going to set Alvin up with Paulina..."
"Why do you want to set him up?" Susan asked in confusion, while Paulina also looked confused as she wondered why she wanted to use her to set Alvin up.
"I mean, I wanted to have Alvin and Paulina betrothed—"
"What? You can\'t do that!" Susan cut in before Alicia could finish speaking, while Paulina\'s eyes shone in horror and she shook her head.
"Are you speaking for yourself or Williams?" Alicia asked.
Luciana listened to the conversation, not knowing what to make of it, while Paulina tried to make sense of what they were saying. Does Lady Susan fancy Alvin? Then... what does Sir Williams have to do with this? Did he... by chance, fancy Alvin too? How was that possible?
"You shouldn\'t do that. People are supposed to choose who they want to be with. Besides, I don\'t think Paulina wants to be with Alvin. You see how she gets scared whenever he is close by. Or do you fancy Alvin?" Susan asked Paulina, who still looked very surprised that Alicia had thought of something like that.
Her and Alvin? She shuddered at the thought. Alvin was much too scary. The only things pretty about him were his face and his hair. His entire build was scary, and the air around him was always dark and evil. Paulina shook her head quickly.
Alicia sighed as a frown fanned her brows. Why didn\'t she at least transmigrate to a simpler era? Why did it have to be such a troublesome era?
Not only did she have to worry about possessing the body of a lady who was from a lineage of witches in a place where witches were forbidden, but she also seemed to possess some powers herself. And now she was in the middle of a mystery murder where she was the prime suspect. If only they were advanced enough and could carry out DNA profiling, she wouldn\'t have been in such a fix. And to top it all off, the children of the queen\'s brother were falling for people they weren\'t supposed to. Alvin was Harold\'s person, and Paulina was her person. She didn\'t want those two to be in trouble.
These thoughts caused Alicia\'s mood to shift, and worry clouded her mind as she wondered what they were all going to do with their emotions and love interests.
She tried to focus on Susan when she realized that Susan was still speaking and said, "I was told your family would never allow you to mar..."
"That is for us to worry about. Don\'t do anything," Susan said, and Alicia raised both hands in surrender.
"If you say so."
"So you fancy Alvin," Luciana said to Susan, confirming her suspicion while Paulina\'s eyes went wide.
"You... really fancy Alvin?" She asked in disbelief. Was that even allowed? If this was correct, did it mean Sir Williams also fancied him?
Susan raised a finger to her lips when she heard the men approaching. "They are coming this way," Susan said, and Alicia looked at her and stood up to look ahead of them.
