Unrepairable Love
Chapter 281
Esme looked amazing tonight. Maybe it was her illness that made her seem both sweet and fragile, stirring up a sense of pity. As soon as she walked in, she headed straight for Alexander. The crowd around Alexander parted for her. Standing in front of him, Esme smiled slightly and said, โAlexander.โ
โWhat are you doing here?โ Alexander was surprised. โWhy isnโt Esme resting in the hospital?โ
โIโm here to attend the event with you,โ Esme replied.
โYouโre not fully recovered,โ Alexander said quietly.
Esme shook her head. โIโm fine.โ
Since Alexander had divorced Elizabeth, Esme could now openly attend events with him. She wouldnโt miss a chance to make herself known!
โMs. Tudor, who is this?โ Molly asked, playing dumb.
Alexander glanced at Molly. โDo I really need to introduce Esme? The news about us has been everywhere.โ
โOh, a friend, right?โ Molly smiled.
Esme looked at Alexander. Once again, he stayed silent when it came to introducing her. Esme hated this feeling.
โAlexander and I are more than just friends,โ Esme said, raising her chin and looking at him, hoping heโd acknowledge her. โAlexander, tell them what our relationship is.โ
Everyone looked at Alexander. All eyes were on him. Alexander frowned, feeling cornered. โThis is an entertainment gala, not our personal stage. Why does Esme have to make a scene?โ he thought. He glanced around, looking for Elizabeth. Elizabeth was facing away, eating as if nothing was happening.
โThat bitch is causing trouble again,โ Lila snapped.
Kieran laughed. โEven actresses curse?โ
โI do more than curse. I even know martial arts,โ Lila said, glaring at Esme.
Elizabeth was about to drink tea when Lila stopped her. โYou just got divorced, and theyโre already flaunting their love. Arenโt they afraid of karma?โ

Kieran found Lila amusing. Noticing his look, Lila snapped, โStay away from me.โ Kieran was puzzled.
โHow good can Alexanderโs friends be?โ Lila said bluntly.
Kieran felt wronged. โIโm really not a jerk.โ
Lila ignored him. Elizabeth turned to Alexander and Esme. She saw Alexander say calmly, โMy relationship with Ms. Russell is indeed more than just friends.โ
Elizabeth crossed her arms, looking indifferent, feeling no emotional turmoil. Alexander met Elizabethโs gaze. Her eyes were full of blessings and comfort. Alexanderโs Adamโs apple moved as Esme happily took his hand.
โWill Elizabeth no longer care about anything I do with Esme?โ Alexander thought, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He suddenly pushed Esmeโs hand away.
