Chapter 676

At night, from the sixtieth floor of the building, the vehicles below looked as small as ants. Alexander stood in front of the window, swirling the wine in his glass. As the door opened, he downed the red wine in one gulp. He turned around when Nolan walked in with Esme.

Esme was very surprised that she had received a call from Alexander, saying he wanted to see her. Her heart tightened immediately. Seeing Alexander was something she had been longing to do recently. She missed him so much and wanted to see him.

“Alexander,” Esme said. She didn’t have time to dress up, so she just put on some lipstick and came out. Alexander silently watched her. He could feel the urgency in her eyes, as if she couldn’t wait to rush over and hug him.

“Sit,” Alexander said, pointing to the sofa. Esme couldn’t sit still; instead, she walked toward Alexander with difficulty, because she couldn’t believe it was him standing in front of her. “Esme, I’ll say it again, sit,” Alexander interrupted her approach. Esme fell silent, not daring to go any further, so she had to turn around and sit on the sofa. Nolan handed her a glass of water, and Esme took it. She carefully watched Alexander, observing his every move. She really liked him, even if his gaze was filled with disdain; it was enough to make her unable to extricate herself. From childhood to adulthood, she had seen many men, excellent ones and terrible ones, but only Alexander captured her heart.

Alexander was highly capable, so she could just follow him without doing anything else. His strength made her feel dignified when she was with him. Besides, he had a uniquely handsome face that made her heart flutter. But such a person, someone Esme liked in every way, had one flaw: he didn’t like her.

“Alexander,” Esme called his name cautiously. Had he changed his mind? Had he realized, after hitting walls with Elizabeth, that Esme was better? After Alexander sat down, Esme moved closer. “Sit properly,” Alexander immediately reminded her coldly. So Esme didn’t dare to move, afraid that he would dislike her, which she really didn’t want.

“Alexander, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much,” she said directly. Alexander frowned, looking at her innocent expression, feeling indescribable; she really played the innocent card to the fullest. “So what?” Alexander asked her. Esme smiled gently and asked softly, “Don’t you miss me too?” “Don’t be so shameless,” he interrupted her directly. Esme’s face turned ugly, and she fell silent.

“What have you done in the past three years? Do I need to help you review it bit by bit? You ruined me, ruined Elizabeth, and now you’re still here fantasizing?” Alexander’s palm slammed onto the coffee table, his eyes glaring at her fiercely. Esme’s body trembled violently, her mind filled with his words. Then her eyes instantly turned red, and tears started to flow. She cried, “Alexander, I did all this for you. How could you say that to me?”
