Nolan glanced at Alexander. Nolan always thought he knew Alexander better than anyone, but he never saw it coming when Alexander told all those reporters he truly regretted it.

Just a moment ago, Elizabeth had dodged the reporters’ questions on stage. It seemed like Alexander was trying to win Elizabeth over. The reporters were quiet for a beat, then one of them jumped in, “What do you regret? If we remember right, there hasn’t been much love in your marriage with Elizabeth these past few years. A lot of folks didn’t even know she was your wife! Is it a case of wanting what you can’t have?”

The question was sharp. Alexander stared at them for a while, then finally frowned and said, “There was a bit of a misunderstanding between Elizabeth and me.”

Everyone exchanged glances but stayed silent. In the quiet, Alexander went on, “Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I plan to talk things out with her. If I can, I’ll try to win her back.”

The room buzzed with excitement. ‘Did Mr. Tudor just say he wants to win Elizabeth back?’ everyone thought.

Meanwhile, on her way back to the research institute, Elizabeth got a message from Lila.

Lila: [Check out the news!]

Elizabeth wasn’t in the mood for news; she had a mountain of reports to get through. Joining the research project late meant she had to work even harder.

When Elizabeth didn’t reply for a while, Lila figured she was busy and sent her the news video of Alexander’s interview. Elizabeth clicked on it casually, and the phone’s volume was a bit loud. The first thing she heard was, “Yeah, I regret it.”

Elizabeth frowned as the video zoomed in on Alexander’s face, and the words came straight from his mouth. Sheldon was also taken aback when he heard it. Elizabeth was quiet for a few seconds, then quickly turned down the volume. She listened to the reporters’ questions and Alexander’s answers.

Elizabeth’s grip on her phone tightened, and her expression grew more complicated as she watched. Sheldon suddenly laughed beside her. “Mr. Tudor actually admitted his regret in front of the reporters.”

Elizabeth quickly put her phone away, awkwardly glanced at Sheldon, and shoved the phone in her pocket, not looking at it again. She said, “He’s just trying to avoid embarrassment for all of us, so he brushed off the reporters. You know Mr. Tudor, he’s all about fame and fortune.”

As she spoke, Elizabeth wasn’t even sure what she was saying anymore. Sheldon looked at her with interest, waiting for her to continue. ‘What else is she going to say?’ Sheldon wondered.

Elizabeth froze. Then she turned her head and said, “Sheldon, you didn’t even tell me to stop talking.”

Sheldon chuckled. “In relationships, it’s all about the push and pull.”

Chapter 528

Elizabeth asked him, “What about you? Are you single or do you have a family?”

“Me? I’ve got a happy family. My wife and I grew up together, and we went through a lot before we finally got together. You and Mr. Tudor have known each other for years?” he asked.

Elizabeth nodded. “We hung out since high school. Then we went to college together and…grafted together?”

Sheldon squinted. “Oh?”

“I liked him first,” Elizabeth smiled. Now she could talk about her and Alexander’s story calmly. Elizabeth sighed and looked out the window. “Sheldon, but I lost the bet.”

“Maybe you did lose back then. But now, your good life is just starting. When a man starts to regret, that’s when you’re won,” Sheldon raised an eyebrow, looking serious.

Elizabeth turned to look at Sheldon as if to ask, ‘Is that so?’

Sheldon nodded. “He admitted his regret in front of the reporters. You’ve won, Elizabeth.”

Elizabeth smiled. But in a relationship, did winning or losing really matter?
