Chapter 874
โNo,โ Alexander answered honestly.
โWhere have you taken her?โ
Like Dream City, a place even she hadnโt noticed. She was too curious about how he and Esme had been so in love for those three years. I only met her in Dream City. I havenโt taken her anywhere else, Alexander could even swear to it.
โElizabethโฆ understand? Three years, you two.โ
โThree years, nothing happened between us.โ If he had to say he gave somethingโฆ it was nothing more than a bit of money and patience.
โEsme is now in a mental hospital because of you. What are you planning to do next?โ This was also a question Elizabeth was concerned about.
Alexander chuckled, โI spared her life, as a matter of respect for Henty.โ
โElizabeth, I wonโt let her die. But the suffering you endured, I will make her go through it all. That was his plan.โ
Elizabeth didnโt ask any more questions. She had nothing else to ask.
โNow itโs my turn to ask you a few questions.โ Alexander looked at her, his gaze intense.
Elizabeth shrugged, letting him ask whatever he wanted.
โAfter our divorce, have you liked any of the men youโve been with?โ His eyes were sharp.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. Typical Alexander. He always asked tricky questions. Did he remember how many men she had met? She couldnโt even remember herself.
โYes, I quite liked Ivan,โ Elizabeth replied casually, looking down. She could feel the atmosphere around them sour immediately after she said that.
Alexander sneered. She was deliberately provoking him.
Was he the kind of person who was easily provoked? He wasnโt. He had a much better temperโฆ never. But undeniably, even if Elizabeth was trying to provoke him, he felt very angry.
โJust because Ivan is your friend, I couldnโt be with him,โ Elizabeth glanced sideways at Alexander, then lowered her head to continue playing on her phone.
โYou still have some conscience,โ he replied.
Elizabeth immediately laughed, not even looking up. โYou were quite conscientious when you were with my best friend.โ He could feel that Elizabethโs words were harsh.
โDo you know?โ Elizabeth suddenly looked up. Their eyes met, and Alexander waited for her to continue.
โThe person I loved was with my best friend. At that time, I really wanted to die,โ Elizabeth frowned, unable to help but complain. Looking back now, she really didnโt know how she got through it. She didnโt dare go home to her parents, nor could she go and yell at Alexander. She bore it all alone.
Alexander looked down. The dim light around them made the guilt in his eyes almost overflow. โElizabeth, Iโm sorry.โ
โYou know, I donโt want to hear it,โ Elizabeth turned away, not looking at him anymore. The damage was already done, and no amount of apologies could change that.
Elizabeth lay on the back of the sofa, lowering her eyes and rubbing her stomach. So hungry. Tired and hungry. This Christmas had been really rough. Elizabeth closed her eyes, still holding her phone. Elizabeth swallowed, thinking how nice it would be to have a pizza right now! Then she fell asleep.
Elizabeth turned over, the space around her empty. Elizabeth slightly opened her eyes. She was in Alexanderโs room. Elizabethโs hand grasped the familiar touch and scent of the silk quilt. She saw her phone and realized it was almost noon.
Looking at the sunny day outside, Elizabeth felt a bit dazed. She sighed and quietly got up.
