Chapter 258

Elizabeth was eating when she heard Alexander and shot him a glare. “No!”

Alexander laughed. “Elizabeth, don’t I know you by now?”

“You don’t know anything,” she snapped back.

Alexander smirked and stayed quiet.

“It’s not because of you. I’ve been here many times, sometimes with Lila,” Elizabeth glared at him.

“Lila’s from the School of Media, and there’s no School of Media around here,” Alexander said, putting down his utensils, almost done eating.

Elizabeth suddenly regretted coming here. “Why did I come here to cry?”

“That was because it was spicy, not because I was crying,” she continued.

Alexander just smiled faintly and said nothing. He checked his phone and saw a bunch of messages from Esme.

Esme: [Alexander, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?] Esme: [Don’t ignore me. I’m really scared. What do I have to do for you to forgive me?] Esme: [Can I come see you?] Esme: [I’m waiting for you at the villa until you see me.]

Alexander deleted the messages without hesitation and looked at Elizabeth, who was eating quietly. Looking at the table full of spicy dishes, Alexander felt his stomach burning.

Elizabeth clapped her hands and drank the last sip of her iced tea. She looked at Alexander, silent for a long time. Elizabeth stood up, her eyes smiling at him, and said gently, “Mr. Tudor, we’re done.”

Alexander felt a pang in his heart. “In a month!” With that, Elizabeth walked away without looking back. From today on, they would go their separate ways. The little garden in Elizabeth’s heart bloomed again, the roses blossoming once more. But this time, it wasn’t because of Alexander. It was because of her new life.

Elizabeth walked out of the restaurant and posted an update on Instagram, officially announcing her and Alexander’s divorce. She turned off Instagram and called Felix. “Where are you? I heard there’s a race at Eaglecrest Mountain tonight. Want to check it out?”

Felix was surprised. “I saw your Instagram. Did you really get divorced?”

“Yes,” Elizabeth answered decisively.

“Congrats on being single again! TM” Felix said.

“See you tonight.”

After hanging up, Elizabeth had just gotten into her car when she got a call from Lila.

Lila’s voice was urgent, “Did you really get divorced?”

Elizabeth laughed, “Why would I lie to you?”

Lila said, “I’m landing in Lisbon this afternoon. Let’s have dinner tonight!”

Elizabeth replied, “Maybe not. I’m planning to go to Eaglecrest Mountain to watch the race tonight. Want to join?”

Lila asked, “Will there be a lot of people?”

Elizabeth thought for a moment, “Probably not. It’s mostly a bunch of guys. If you wear a mask and sunglasses, no one will recognize you.”

Lila agreed, “Alright, see you tonight!”

After hanging up, Elizabeth felt completely relaxed. Elizabeth went home, and Grant was feeding the birds. He was surprised to see her. “Why aren’t you at work?”

“Grandpa, I went to file for divorce with Alexander,” Elizabeth said, pouring herself a glass of water and announcing the good news to Grant.

Grant was shocked. “Really?”

Elizabeth nodded firmly. “Really!”

Grant said, “I need to call your grandma and tell her the good news!” With that, Grant went to make the call.

Elizabeth couldn’t help but laugh.
