Chapter 569
Elizabeth couldnโt quite believe it.
โNolan, do you think Iโm really that bad?โ Alexander asked with a wry smile.
Nolan knew his place as an assistant, but he still asked, โMr. Tudor, do you want the truth?โ
Nolan said without hesitation, โYes.โ
The exchange was quick and to the point. Alexander and Nolan shared a look, and both cracked a smile.
โMr. Tudor, youโre good to everyone at the company. You treat Ms. Russell well, too. But when it comes to Elizabeth, yeah, youโve been pretty awful,โ Nolan added.
It seemed like Alexander had given all his kindness to everyone else, leaving none for Elizabeth. Alexander furrowed his brows, deep in thought about his actions. He had really pushed Elizabeth away, not treating her like family at all. Even though Esme had saved him once, it didnโt give Alexander the right to hurt Elizabeth whenever he wanted. Alexander was truly messed up. It was no wonder Elizabeth couldnโt forgive him. He couldnโt even forgive himself.
โMr. Tudor, if I were Elizabethโs family, Iโd be on my knees begging you to let her go,โ Nolan joked.
Alexander had hurt Elizabeth so deeply. Who would still trust him with her? He was silent for a few seconds and then said, โElizabethโs family has already said that.โ
โYou canโt blame them. In the three years you were together, Elizabeth cut ties with her family for you. You never visited them either,โ Nolan said, unsure if he should continue.
It was like a movie playing in Alexanderโs mind.
In the first year of their marriage, Elizabeth asked if heโd go home with her to celebrate Declanโs birthday. She hadnโt been back in a while, and when she married him, she had a fight with Declan. Going back together would give her a reason to return and reassure Declan, letting her family know she was okay. But back then, Alexander was stuck on the fact that he had said he wouldnโt marry Elizabeth. He couldnโt hear a word of her request.
Later, on Declanโs birthday, Alexander went home to grab something and found Elizabeth there, not celebrating Declanโs birthday. In the following years, Elizabeth never mentioned her family again.
โSpeaking of which, isnโt Mr. Percyโs birthday coming up?โ Nolan suddenly added.
Alexander looked up, puzzled.
Nolan thought of something and said, โBut Mr. Percyโs birthday is usually low-key, just a family dinner at home.โ
Alexander frowned.
โMr. Tudor, think of a way to make Mr. Percy happy,โ Nolan teased.
Alexander wasnโt mad. Having someone still on his side, giving him advice, he was already very grateful. After all, even Alexanderโs family had given up on him. Since he and Elizabeth divorced, they had become increasingly distant. Of course, they hadnโt contacted him much before either. Whenever they did, it was because they couldnโt find Elizabeth. But Alexander didnโt know where Elizabeth was either. Over time, they stopped looking for Alexander altogether.
Alexander patted Nolan on the shoulder. โThanks.โ
โYouโre welcome, Mr. Tudor.โ Nolan smiled. โShall we head back?โ
There was no point in Alexander standing there any longer.
โOh, the necklace,โ Alexander said, looking at Nolan.
Nolan smiled. โIโve already sent it to the villa. Youโll see it when you get back.โ
