Chapter 674

You think this is something small and forgettable because you’re not the one who’s red with anger. “As wronged!” Elizabeth shouted back, her eyes blazing.

Alexander gave a bitter smile. He took a step forward, his gaze towards her almost crazed. “How could I not feel wronged? Elizabeth, do you think you’re the only one who feels wronged? I was played like a fool. How could I not feel wronged?” He lowered his voice, his tone full of questioning.

His life was supposed to be peaceful. He had a successful career and a happy family. But all of that was disrupted!

The atmosphere was somber. Elizabeth looked at Alexander, unable to speak. Was he wronged? But she felt even more wronged.

Alexander’s eyes darkened, as if he realized his actions were too harsh. So he had to avoid her gaze. He lowered his head, while Elizabeth looked at his downcast eyes. Both of their breaths were heavy.

The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s intense heartbeats. The snowflakes falling outside seemed particularly desolate. Alexander had never imagined… they were supposed to keep each other warm, ended up divorced after three years of marriage, becoming enemies who would soon be strangers!

Elizabeth kept looking at him, and he could feel it. She bit her lower lip, saying nothing. Alexander slowly let go of his hand, pressing his palm against the wall, breathing heavily. He asked, “Elizabeth, do we really have to be so confrontational?”

Elizabeth’s face was cold, her eyes devoid of any emotion. “Thanks to you.”

Alexander shook his head, looking utterly helpless. “Elizabeth, what will it take for you to forgive me? Tell me, what do I need to do? Even if it’s just like how you treat Ivan.”

To have dinner with him, to accept his kindness, to look at him directly… But Elizabeth didn’t. She just treated him like a stranger. She resisted him fiercely, pushing him far away.

Did Elizabeth see his nagging, his entanglement, his attempts to make amends? Elizabeth stared at his eyes, her voice cold. “Alexander. There’s really no chance for us.”

“No.” Alexander shook his head. He didn’t want to hear that, and he didn’t want things to end with them either. “We can start over. You can watch how I do.” He was desperate.

But all of his desperation was in vain. “I don’t have any love left for you. So I can’t start over with you. Alexander, you can find someone better, and so can I. Let’s not entangle ourselves anymore.” Elizabeth raised her hand to push him away.

But Alexander grabbed her wrist, questioning, “Who is the better person for you? Ivan?”

Elizabeth glared at him. “Don’t bring up Ivan.”

“What’s the matter? Are you anxious because I mentioned him?” Algonder immediately became angry.

“Alexander, stop being unreasonable here!” Elizabeth was annoyed. “You get so anxious. Elizabeth, don’t tell me you’ve really fallen for him.” There was an indescribable sadness in Alexander’s eyes.

Elizabeth glared at him. She really wanted to tell him that she had fallen for Ivan, if that would make him give up! “I thought you knew he and I are friends?” he asked.

Elizabeth smiled. “Can’t I date your friend?”

“Elizabeth. Is this your way of getting back at me?” He couldn’t understand. Elizabeth wasn’t such an irrational person. If she was with Ivan, it could only be for revenge!

“You’re not worth using my feelings for revenge. Let go of me.” Elizabeth pushed him away, for she was ready to leave.

Alexander lowered his head, no longer having the courage to continue pestering her. “Elizabeth, I won’t give up.” He looked up at her retreating figure.
