Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766 Kneel!

With a frown on the desperate expression on her face, Adelpha helplessly watched as Lyra swallowed the two large pieces of apricot almond cake.

Oh, Momma! Why are you such a glutton?! she quietly cried.

“My dear sister.” Elise shook the apricot almond cake in her hand, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as they glinted brightly. “Would you like to try it too?”

“No, no! No need for that,” Adelpha blurted out as she waved her hands aggressively. Every inch of her body was outwardly rejecting the offer. “I-I have tried it in the cafe. I am so full that I can’t take another bite now!”

“Is that so…” Elise lowered her eyes in disappointment, but a smile remained plastered on her face the whole time. When she turned around, she looked at Lyra with a kind expression. “Since Adelpha doesn’t want to eat it and I have suddenly lost my appetite, please finish the pastries for me, Aunt Lyra.”

Lyra froze for a second when she heard that. Is this really happening? she wondered before she started coughing when she nearly choked.

Her cough gradually calmed as she hit herself on the chest a few times. Pretending to be as calm as an elderly would, she uttered, “If that is the case, I have no choice but to accept it.”

“Mhm, I am sorry for troubling you!” Elise kept smiling while she replied.

Now that her taste buds were satisfied, Lyra then returned to the kitchen with the cakes in her hand with light steps.

As Adelpha worried that her mother would finish all the cake, she quietly went around Elise’s back to give Lyra a warning without Elise knowing.

She was only halfway there when Elise suddenly stood up, coincidentally standing face to face with her.

The smile Elise had on earlier had completely disappeared by then. “Don’t slack off, Adelpha. It will be tomorrow in a few more hours. I feel like having plum pudding tomorrow. You can go prepare to make it now.”

Adelpha instantly felt her throat constrict when she heard that. “Are you asking me to make it myself?”

“You won’t do it?” Elise put on a sad expression.

“It is not that I don’t want to, it is just that—”

“That will do.” Elise didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. “Learning is a lifelong journey, Adelpha. I know that you can do it. Cheer up!”

Without waiting for her to refuse, Elise proceeded to walk upstairs.

Adelpha could only keep mum at that as she had no other choice. When she remembered the box of cakes again after a while, she hurried into the kitchen to snatch away what Lyra had not finished eating, and threw it all away.

“My daughter! Why did you throw it away? It is so delicious!” Lyra couldn’t help feeling like it was a waste.

“Momma!” Adelpha lowered her voice as she angrily stomped her foot. “I drugged the cakes! Why did you eat it?!”

“What?!” Lyra had only thought it was a normal pain that she was feeling in her abdomen at first, but after listening to Adelpha’s words, her stomach immediately started cramping painfully. “Why didn’t you say so just now?!” she groaned while pressing her stomach.

As she spoke, she felt an abrupt force trying to break out of her body. She quickly started to run out of the kitchen with her legs pressed together, all the while releasing foul gas.

Disgusted, Adelpha, too, quickly fled the scene with her hand over her nose.

When the next morning came, Onyx entered the house with his luggage, only to be greeted by the sight of a pale Adelpha lying on the sofa.

“Ahem!”

Hearing that, Onyx turned to look at Adelpha beside him.”What exactly is going on?”

Adelpha bit her lip and lowered her head before she deliberately grabbed Onyx’s clothes and hid behind him. Her light sobs turned into loud wails at this point. “Anastasia was the one who forced us into it! She beats up anyone who doesn’t do as she says. Our servants can testify!”

Onyx immediately blew his top and boomed at Elise, “You better kneel down!”

Elise only rolled her eyes as she walked to the sofa and sat down. She proceeded to calmly pour a cup of tea, which she then held in her hand. “I don’t mind kneeling before my parents, but you have already cut off our father-daughter relationship. You don’t deserve to see me on my knees. ”

Onyx was so angry he went mute at that. He didn’t expect that Anastasia, who had always been submissive, would suddenly become such an unreasonable person.

He only came back to his senses after a long time, and when he did, he put out his trump card by rushing over to point in the direction of the door. “Since you are not my daughter, get out of this house and never come back!”

Elise continued to unhurriedly blow at her hot beverage before she eventually raised her head to cast an indifferent gaze at him. “Sure, I can leave. I will also go to Grandpa’s birthday banquet in a few days by myself to save you the trouble.”

After she said that, she stood up holding the teacup as she got ready to go upstairs to pack up.

“Hold on!” Onyx stopped her. He then made concessions, albeit reluctantly. “As an elder, I shouldn’t be so calculative with you. Just stay at home for now since you know where your fault lies.”

Onyx would be big trouble if news of this incident were to reach the ears of Anastasia’s grandfather.

“Poppa!” Upset with the decision, Adelpha shook his arm as she asked him to be just.

“Stop this nonsense!” Onyx could only vent his frustration on Adelpha since he couldn’t afford to get on Elise’s bad side. “I just came back from a business trip. Can’t you give me one thing less to worry about? Isn’t your piano examination soon? How is your practice going?”
