Chapter 738
Alexander took a sip of water, his gaze calmly falling on Elizabeth. Elizabeth was eating, her expression indifferent and uninterested. But Alexander knew clearly that Elizabeth was very familiar with Keedy. He couldn’t even understand Kennedy. Elizabeth didn’t like being stared at by Alexander. She put down her fork and said blandly, “I’m going to the restroom, you chat.”
She quickly got up, occasionally looking down at her phone. The three people’s eyes were all fixed on Elizabeth until her figure disappeared from their sight. Only then did they all retract their gazes.
Kieran sighed. “I say, Alexander, let’s not sit here anymore. If you want to drink, how about I accompany you to a bar?” Kieran really didn’t want to see his two good friends get into such a mess over Elizabeth. Mainly, Kieran felt too uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Kieran spoke for Alexander: the things Alexander had done in the past indeed hurt Elizabeth, and she had no interest in him now. If Kieran spoke for Ivan, Ivan was indeed a bit too much, liking Alexander’s ex-wife. But then again, feelings couldn’t be controlled. Kieran really didn’t know whose side to take. Rather than being so conflicted, it would be better to just separate Alexander and Ivan so they wouldn’t see each other. If the trouble couldn’t be solved, then avoid the trouble!
Alexander didn’t say anything, just downed the drink in his glass and then stood up. Kieran looked at Alexander in confusion, not knowing what Alexander was going to do.
When Alexander went to the restroom, Elizabeth was leaning against the wall playing with her phone. She hadn’t gone to the restroom at all, just hiding there for some peace and quiet. If Alexander had any sense, he should have turned around and left.
Seeing Alexander coming towards her, Elizabeth turned to enter the women’s restroom. Alexander called out to her, “Elizabeth.” Elizabeth didn’t stop. Alexander walked up and grabbed Elizabeth’s arm. Elizabeth looked at Alexander, her expression calm, her eyes even colder.
She was already avoiding him; what more did he want? Did he want her to go home right now? Alexander could feel Elizabeth’s disdain for him from her gaze. He lowered his eyes, his gaze full of apology. He swallowed, ignoring the people passing by, and spoke in a low, sincere voice. “Elizabeth, it was my fault for sending you to the research institute today.”
Elizabeth couldn’t help but look at Alexander. It was rare for her to hear Alexander admit his mistake like this. Elizabeth gave a bitter smile. “You were wrong? How could it be, Mr. Tudor? Clearly, it was my fault. I’m in my place. Whatever you say is right.”
Elizabeth’s sarcasm made Alexander very uncomfortable. Alexander continued to admit his mistake. “Elizabeth, it really was my fault. Please don’t talk to me like this. I truly hope you forgive me.” Elizabeth’s gaze became even colder. Alexander lowered his head, the feeling of shame gripping his throat like a giant hand, leaving him at a loss. If he tried too hard, he would make mistakes. But if he didn’t try hard, Elizabeth would look to someone else.
Alexander really didn’t know what else he could do. “Alexander,” Elizabeth called him. Alexander nodded, “Yeah?” “Have you fallen in love with me?” Elizabeth asked him seriously.
He looked into Elizabeth’s eyes, not wanting to brush her off, but wanting her to know clearly. Yes, he had fallen in love with Elizabeth. It wasn’t because Elizabeth had saved him, but because he had fallen in love with her a long time ago; he just didn’t know it.
“Have you ever heard a saying,” Elizabeth looked at Alexander, her eyes smiling, “When you truly like someone, you should let her…”
“You’ve been persistent for three years, why can’t I be persistent for three years?” Alexander immediately retorted. Elizabeth bit her lip, “I’ve been persistent for more than just three years.” It was seven years.
