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, โHeโs following you around? Not going to work?โ
โYeah, you didnโt know?โ Elizabeth massaged Lilyโs 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 wasnโt even willing to temporarily set aside work, she thought Alexander shouldnโt bother Elizabeth anymore.
After a long silence, Elara spoke first. โAlexander, this is your fault! How can you do this? You still need to work! If you keep following Elizabeth around, sheโll feel pressured.โ
Elizabeth nodded in agreement, โYes.โ
Alexander glanced at Elara but said nothing. He cut a piece of apple and asked Elizabeth, โWant some?โ
Elizabeth was speechless that he didnโt ask his grandmother first but came to ask her. How would Lily see her? But Lily smiled, โOur Alexander still likes Elizabeth, huh? He knows to peel an apple for her first.โ
Elizabeth didnโt know how to respond.
โHave some. Itโs super sweet!โ Lily coaxed gently, like talking to a child.
Elizabeth didnโt 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 wouldnโt say a word! They wished Alexander would stick to Elizabeth every day, which would mean Elizabeth didnโt 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!
Chapter 889
โIf he doesnโt work, itโs fine. Teโs already successful. If Nolan gets too busy, he can call Blake to help,โ Lily said to Alexander.
โIโve talked to Dad about it,โ Alexander explained.
Lily nodded, โAlright, alright.โ
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 couldnโt bear that responsibility.
โSo, Grandma, you all knew?โ Elizabeth couldnโt help but ask.
Lily felt a bit ashamed. She did know.
Elara immediately said, โI didnโt know. You know, our Alexander always goes to his grandma first with anything.โ This was probably something he had discussed with Lily.
Elizabeth had a headache.
โThen why donโt you say something to him?โ Elizabeth was troubled.
Lily immediately said sharply, โWhatโs there to say? Heโs a grown man; he knows what he should and shouldnโt do!โ
โIf heโs not working, it means thereโs something more important for him to handle! Of course, weโll let him be.โ If Alexander were delaying work for Esme, they would definitely intervene. But since it was for Elizabeth, they didnโt mind.
โAlright, donโt worry about his business! But if he bothers you, just hit him, scold him, do whatever you want!โ Lily held Elizabethโs hand tightly and smiled, โBut just donโt ignore him.โ
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.
