"Alexandra, do you want to go to school?" Harper asked abruptly. It wasn't good for Alexandra to be in the mansion all the time. It would be great if he could study in a boarding school to be away from here. This way, he could avoid the storm that was bound to come. But before doing so, she would have to reveal to Mavis that Alexandra was a boy. Only then could he study outside as a boy. Once he graduated and came back home, they could reveal his real gender to everyone else.

"Yes, it is my dream to go to school!" said Alexandra anxiously, but then the light of hope in his eyes dissipated. "But my mother is seriously ill and she needs me."

Harper patted his head and said, "Okay then. You should continue with your studying now. I'll go and check your mother."

Harper entered the room, and Joey was awake. She was so excited to see Harper that she attempted to sit up.

"Lady Joey, you'd better lie down. I came here to take a look

back at the end of the year. He probably doesn't want to see Alexandra, so wouldn't it be better to just send him away?" Noticing that Mavis wasn't giving a reply, Harper pleaded, "Grandma, Father prefers Howard and Hailey. I don't care that he doesn't love me. Sometimes, I do hate myself for being unable to win his love. However, Alexandra is too young. He shouldn't go through that pain."

Mavis was helpless. Deep down, she believed Harper had a point, but she didn't think there was much she could do. "Harper, you don't have a reason to get entangled in this. You have your own problems to deal with!"

"Please do me a favor, Grandma." Harper immediately knelt down and bowed her head. "I hope Alexandra can have a different life, instead of being locked up in this cold house. He deserves better than this. If he stays here, he will die out of loneliness. Please understand, Grandma!"

"You can go back now. Let me think about it."
