Chapter 1084
In an instant, both of their hearts tightened.
Declan, however, leisurely picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.
Alexander gripped his cup tighter, frowning at Declan, feeling an indescribable tension.
Elizabeth couldn't help but glance at Alexander, feeling inevitably uneasy.
"Alexander," Declan sighed and called Alexander's name.
Alexander immediately nodded, "Yes, Declan. I'm listening."
Declan's expression was heavy, his eyes filled with a father's concern for the younger generation. "This is the second time I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Don't let her get hurt again."
Hearing Declan's words, Alexander finally felt the weight lift from his shoulders.
So Declan was willing to let Alexander and Elizabeth be together.
For Alexander, this was a great honor.
Elizabeth looked at Declan, and upon hearing his words, felt a bittersweet ache in her heart. In an instant, her tears fell.
"Dad," Elizabeth called him.
Declan looked at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth bit her lip, overwhelmed with emotion.
She could see the pain in Declan's eyes and sense the resignation in his gaze.
But she couldn't bring herself to say, "I won't be with him anymore."
Elizabeth's gaze fell on Alexander. Alexander saw the trembling of her eyelashes and the struggle and the struggle she was trying to suppress.
Elizabeth felt as though she had been walking this lonely path for an eternity.
Suddenly, Alexander held Elizabeth's hand.
Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, she met Alexander's eyes.
His palm was warm, his hand strong and reassuring. The moment he held her hand, she felt warmth spread through her.
It was a feeling of being protected, not vague, but very clear.
This was the unique comfort only he could give her.
Elizabeth's eyes reddened slightly. She swallowed all the bitterness and looked into Alexander's eyes, saying seriously, "I think this time we won't make any more mistakes."
Alexander looked at her, his eyes gradually softening into a smile.
This time, he wouldn't let Elizabeth down.
"We definitely won't make the same mistakes. All of that is behind us now." Alexander raised his hand and finally dared to gently ruffle her hair, "Elizabeth, I made you suffer, it was my fault. From now on, you are my everything, and I will only love you."
He used to be immature and irresponsible.
But those days were over.
Tears finally spilled from Elizabeth's eyes.
She thought she wouldn't cry anymore.
But seeing Alexander's heartfelt confession and Declan's sincere support, she couldn't hold back.
But these weren't tears of sadness, they were tears of happiness.
She felt blessed to have a father like Declan and a future with someone like Alexander.
Seeing Elizabeth's tears flow freely, Alexander pulled her into his arms.
Elizabeth finally let herself cry openly.
Declan watched with a heavy heart, pained for all his daughter had endured.
His daughter had been cherished since she was a child, yet she had suffered such a setback in love.
But now, seeing her happy, he could let go of his resentment toward Alexander's past mistakes.
"Alright, alright," Declan clapped his hands together lightly and then stood up, "I've got plenty waiting for me at home, so I'll leave you two alone."
Elizabeth and Alexander both looked at Declan, then stood up together.
"Let me arrange a car to take you to the airport," Alexander offered.
Declan shook his head, "No need, I've already called one."
"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk more when we get back to Lisbun," Declan glanced at Alexander.
Alexander, who had just felt at ease, suddenly became nervous again.
Talk more?
About what?
Declan knew Alexander would overthink, so he smiled and said, "Not about you specifically—about both of you, as a couple."
Alexander blinked, confused.
