Chapter 257

Kimberly rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and exclaimed, “Oh right! You’re from med school, right?”

Elizabeth cleared her throat and smiled. “Madam, you must be mistaken. This is my first time here.” Elizabeth would never admit she was the one who came here alone to eat spicy food after Alexander stood her up that year. She was really heartbroken because Alexander had promised for days to join her for spicy food. She had been looking forward to it. But on the day they were supposed to eat, Esme called, and Alexander immediately went to see her. Elizabeth never wanted to remember those days again!

Alexander was initially puzzled if that person was Elizabeth, but when she said it was her first time here, he knew the person Kimberly was talking about was Elizabeth.

“You two look like a couple, don’t you?” Kimberly asked with a smile.

Elizabeth and Alexander exchanged a glance and gave different answers. Elizabeth said, “No.” Alexander replied, “Yes.”

Kimberly blinked. Elizabeth frowned at Alexander; they were already divorced. “No, he’s just joking,” Elizabeth said with a smile.

Kimberly beamed, “Got it. Girls are always shy!”

“Can we take a photo?” Kimberly asked. “We’ll put it on our anniversary wall! We take some photos every year.”

“Sure,” Elizabeth responded enthusiastically. Being part of the store’s thirtieth anniversary was an honor, after all.

Kimberly looked at Alexander again; he didn’t seem very willing. But as soon as Kimberly raised her phone, he stood up too. Alexander came to Elizabeth’s side, and she whispered, “If you don’t like taking photos, you don’t have to. I can do it alone.” After all, Alexander had a special status.

Alexander didn’t say anything but bent down to look at Kimberly’s camera. The lighting in the private room was warm, and the picture looked even better. Alexander instinctively leaned closer to Elizabeth, their shoulders touching, while Kimberly stood sideways in front of them. Elizabeth smiled and made a gesture.

The photo was taken. Soon, the waiter came in again.

“This is a gift for you,” Kimberly said.

“So nice, giving us a free meal and a gift,” Elizabeth said, touched. Kimberly smiled warmly, clearly easy to get along with.

Elizabeth and Alexander both accepted the gifts, and Kimberly said, “The gift isn’t expensive, just two wheat ear pendants. I hope everyone can be safe and sound every year.”

“Thank you!” Elizabeth said sincerely.

Kimberly nodded. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore!” she said, and then to Alexander, “She is so pretty and sensible, and you two are a perfect match! Good luck!”

Alexander just smiled and nodded. Elizabeth was fiddling with the pendant Kimberly gave, completely unaware of what Kimberly and Alexander were talking about. When Elizabeth looked up again, Kimberly had already left.

The private room returned to silence, and Elizabeth shook the pendant, saying, “It’s quite pretty.” Alexander also took a look at his. Elizabeth propped her face, thought for a moment, and said, “It’s perfect for the car keys.”

Seeing her enthusiastically attaching it to her car keys, Alexander couldn’t help but look at his own pendant. He also attached it to his keys.

“Such good luck,” Elizabeth said to Alexander.

Alexander looked at her and said calmly, “So, the year I graduated and didn’t have dinner with you, you cried?”
