Chapter 78

Elizabeth was so deep in thought she didnโ€™t see the steps ahead. Suddenly, she missed one and tumbled right into Alexander. Her face pressed against his back, and her breath came in short, intense gasps.

Alexander spun around, grabbed her waist, and lifted her up. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with you now?โ€

โ€œI didnโ€™t see the steps,โ€ she muttered, furrowing her brows.

โ€œElizabeth, youโ€™re always so careless,โ€ he said, sounding a bit annoyed.

She glared at him. She had just bumped into him, and he was already impatient. If it were Erme, heโ€™d probably be holding her tenderly by now.

Out of nowhere, Alexander scooped her up. โ€œIโ€™ll take you home,โ€ he said in a deep voice.

Elizabeth clung to his shoulders and neck, her eyes wide and confused like a startled fawn. Noticing her gaze, Alexander looked straight ahead, expressionless. โ€œDonโ€™t look at me like that.โ€

โ€œAlexander,โ€ she suddenly called his name.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wening?โ€ he asked casually.

Elizabeth knew it might be rude, but she had to ask, โ€œAre you out of yourโ€ฆโ€

Was this still Alexander? What was wrong with him tonight? Did he realize how unusual he was being?

Alexanderโ€™s steps halted. His deep eyes seemed to hide a knife as he looked at her, like he wanted to kill her.

โ€œDonโ€™t you think youโ€™re being too nice to me? Do you need something from me?โ€ Elizabeth felt a bit scared but asked directly. โ€œDo you want me to go with you to the divorce? We can do it tomorrow morning, but donโ€™t be so nice to me; itโ€™s really scaring me.โ€

Alexander had never felt so speechless. He scrutinized her delicate face for a long time before asking, โ€œHave I been nice to you?โ€

He had only done what even a stranger would do. As her husband, how could this be considered nice?

โ€œIn theโ€ฆ nice?โ€ Elizabethโ€™s eyelashes fluttered, her voice tinged with hesitation.

Alexander licked his lips, momentarily at a loss for words. How badly had he treated her before? If it were Erme, she might have said he was being harsh. But Elizabeth felt his kindness was too strange.

Alexander frowned, a strange sense of guilt rising in his heart. It seemed he had indeed treated her too poorly over the years, so much so that he had forgotten theโ€ฆ

He lowered his eyes, held her tighter, and walked towards the car, muttering, โ€œNot good.โ€

Elizabeth let out a light laugh, her voice soft. โ€œItโ€™s enough for me to feel like your wife before theโ€ฆ Alexanderโ€ฆ fure the divorce.โ€ She gently pinched his earlobe with her fingertips. His ears were very attractive, very soft, and they were her favorite part of his body to pinch back in high school. But now, she had been hurt by him, coveredโ€ฆ

He looked down at her. The warmth of her fingertips touching his ear sent his heart racing, and his whole body felt electrified.

Elizabeth gazed at his brows and wryly. Though she said nothing, her face was full of regret. She regretted that his face, his person, his heart, had never belonged toโ€ฆ

โ€œAlexander, can I ask you a question?โ€ Elizabeth, feeling a bit weary, snuggled into his arms, trying to find some warmth.

Unreparable Love
