Unrepairable Love

Chapter 417

Maurice blinked. No doubt, Alexander snagged that Serenity Leaf. Maurice chuckled, “I got it from someone else, too.”

“Did it cost you a fortune?” Elizabeth asked.

Maurice shook his head quickly. Elizabeth shrugged. “Alright then.”

“So, since you’re such a herb guru, got any other rare ones?” Elizabeth sipped her water, eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Maurice shook his head like a bobblehead.

Elizabeth let it go and circled back to the Serenity Leaf. “Anyway, thanks for the Serenity Leaf.”

This time, Esme caught it loud and clear. Esme turned to Alexander, “Hey, did you hear that? Elizabeth’s talking about the Serenity Leaf.”

“Really?” Alexander played it cool.

Esme was confused. “Isn’t the Serenity Leaf with you? How does Elizabeth have it?”

Alexander looked up, even calmer, “Maybe you misheard.”

Esme went quiet, sneaking glances at Alexander. Esme thought, “When I asked Alexander for the Serenity Leaf, he said he needed it and couldn’t give it to me. Did he give it to Elizabeth?”

Seeing Elizabeth head to the restroom, Esme quickly claimed she wasn’t feeling well and followed her.

In the restroom, Elizabeth was fixing her makeup. Esme stopped beside her. Their eyes met in the mirror; Elizabeth’s look was cold, like she was staring at a stranger.

Esme glared at Elizabeth, eyes full of suspicion. Elizabeth lowered her gaze, applied some lipstick, and slowly asked, “Got something to say?”

“Were you talking about the Serenity Leaf?” Esme asked.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. “So what?!”

“Where’d you get it?” Esme pressed.

Elizabeth paused, wondering why Esme cared so much. But she answered, “Bought it.”

“From where?” Esme pushed.

Elizabeth found it even weirder. “Why do you care?”

Chapter 417

Esme clenched her fist. So, Elizabeth really had the Serenity Leaf? Esme bit her lip, stared at Elizabeth for a moment, then stormed out.

Elizabeth watched her leave, thinking she was acting super weird.

Esme got back to the table and saw Maurice leaving. Esme frowned and rushed to Alexander. Alexander was sipping water when he saw Esme glaring at him. Alexander was puzzled.

Esme bit her lip and said firmly, “I want the Serenity Leaf.”

Alexander frowned, clearly annoyed. “Sorry, Esme. I can give you anything else, but not the Serenity Leaf.”

Esme pushed, “Why not?”

Alexander’s tone turned icy. “Just no.”

Esme asked, “You keep saying no. Is it because you gave it to Elizabeth?”

Elizabeth was about to join them but stopped when she heard that.
