Chapter 651
“Another drink, please.” Elizabeth had already had three drinks. Lila suddenly regretted encouraging her to drink. If she had known, she would have let her drink juice. Alexander had just returned from a phone call and saw Elizabeth asking the bartender for another drink. The assistant suddenly called Lila, and Lila told the waiter not to give Elizabeth any more drinks before heading to the back. Elizabeth wasn’t drunk; she just wanted a couple more drinks. If Lila didn’t let her drink, then she wouldn’t drink. She tilted her head back, sitting idly in her chair, spinning around. If life was just about eating and drinking every day, it would indeed be boring.
“Elizabeth, your water.” The bartender had just pushed the glass over when someone sat down next to her. Elizabeth glanced to the side and, seeing it was Alexander, whom she didn’t want to see, immediately closed her eyes.
“How many drinks have you had?” Alexander asked.
Elizabeth opened her eyes. Alexander’s voice was very pleasant, slightly hoarse from the alcohol. She looked at him, who was wearing a black suit, a white shirt underneath, and a black tie. Seeing her staring at him without saying anything, Alexander felt uncomfortable. He was silent for a few seconds before expressing his dissatisfaction: “Elizabeth, do you really not want to talk to me? Even if we’re just friends sitting down for a chat, you should at least respond.”
“I’m not much of a talker,” Elizabeth said, then turned her head away.
Alexander chuckled. “Who was it in high school that kept nagging me not to fight? And in college, who sent me countless messages every day?” He thought of those times, a smile inevitably appearing on his face. Thinking back to those days with Elizabeth, it was quite interesting for him. Elizabeth really could nag. He still remembered that winter in L—she barely said a word the whole time. In their freshman year, when she came to his school to find him, but… He thought Elizabeth was upset. After she went back, Elizabeth sent him a message: “I caught a cold, my throat hurts, I can’t say a word.” Elizabeth was adorably clumsy back then.
As Alexander was reminiscing, Elizabeth’s cold voice brought him back to reality. “You said it yourself, that was me in high school and college.”

Alexander’s thoughts were abruptly pulled back to the present. He then looked at her, only able to see her profile. Her nose was beautiful. Her eyelashes were long, and the curve of her lips was lovely. Her beauty was never in doubt, and she was as beautiful as anyone, including Lila. In fact, Elizabeth was even more beautiful than Lila. In high school, she was the most beautiful. In the past few years, Elizabeth had really been worn down. And it… If he could, he truly wished she could go back to being her old self.
“Elizabeth, give me another chance,” he looked at Elizabeth and said. It was all because of Alexander. This time, it was from the heart that he would cherish her and love her. Whatever Elizabeth wanted to do, he would go along with it. Elizabeth lowered her eyelashes, drinking her water and gripping the glass tightly.
