Chapter 889

The three people in the ward were stunned. Alexander lowered his head, focusing intently on peeling the apple. Lily coughed lightly and touched her nose. Elara smiled, saying nothing.

Lily asked, “He’s following you around? Not going to work?”

“Yeah, you didn’t know?” Elizabeth massaged Lily’s leg.

Lily pursed her lips. This idea was decided by Lily and Alexander together. When Alexander decided to take a break, Lily knew about it and completely agreed with his decision. He wanted to win his wife over without putting in the effort. How is that different from wanting a horse to run without feeding it? Elizabeth lost a lot for him, and if he wasn’t even willing to temporarily set aside work, she thought Alexander shouldn’t bother Elizabeth anymore.

After a long silence, Elara spoke first. “Alexander, this is your fault! How can you do this? You still need to work! If you keep following Elizabeth around, she’ll feel pressured.”

Elizabeth nodded in agreement, “Yes.”

Alexander glanced at Elara but said nothing. He cut a piece of apple and asked Elizabeth, “Want some?”

Elizabeth was speechless that he didn’t ask his grandmother first but came to ask her. How would Lily see her? But Lily smiled, “Our Alexander still likes Elizabeth, huh? He knows to peel an apple for her first.”

Elizabeth didn’t know how to respond.

“Have some. It’s super sweet!” Lily coaxed gently, like talking to a child.

Elizabeth didn’t know what to say. Elizabeth probably forgot that everyone in the Tudor family hoped she would come back. Not to mention Alexander not working; even if he spent every day trying to please Elizabeth, they wouldn’t say a word! They wished Alexander would stick to Elizabeth every day, which would mean Elizabeth didn’t dislike him, and maybe there was still a chance for them. If Alexander were still working every day and barely saw Elizabeth, then they would be upset!

“If he doesn’t work, it’s fine. Te’s already successful. If Nolan gets too busy, he can call Blake to help,” Lily said to Alexander.

“I’ve talked to Dad about it,” Alexander explained.

Lily nodded, “Alright, alright.”

Elizabeth then realized. Alexander not working was something he had probably discussed with the family. She was foolish, thinking the family would persuade him to go back to work. But no matter what, many people have their eyes on the Tudor Group. If the Tudor Group had any issues because Alexander was pursuing her, Elizabeth couldn’t bear that responsibility.

“So, Grandma, you all knew?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but ask.

Lily felt a bit ashamed. She did know.

Elara immediately said, “I didn’t know. You know, our Alexander always goes to his grandma first with anything.” This was probably something he had discussed with Lily.

Elizabeth had a headache.

“Then why don’t you say something to him?” Elizabeth was troubled.

Lily immediately said sharply, “What’s there to say? He’s a grown man; he knows what he should and shouldn’t do!”

“If he’s not working, it means there’s something more important for him to handle! Of course, we’ll let him be.” If Alexander were delaying work for Esme, they would definitely intervene. But since it was for Elizabeth, they didn’t mind.

“Alright, don’t worry about his business! But if he bothers you, just hit him, scold him, do whatever you want!” Lily held Elizabeth’s hand tightly and smiled, “But just don’t ignore him.”

Elizabeth felt a bit embarrassed. She had known Alexander for so many years and had never hit him once, only scolded him a few times.
