Chapter 1085
Declan's smile grew even wider.
Seeing Alexander flustered was more precious than anything.
Alexander was the biggest tycoon in Lisbun.
"Dad, I'll walk you out. I have something to tell you."
Elizabeth followed him.
Declan nodded, "Okay."
Alexander stopped and watched the two of them walk away.
Elizabeth and Declan walked at a leisurely pace.
On the way, Elizabeth said, "Dad, thank you."
"No need to thank me. You're my precious daughter. Your happiness is what matters most, you know?"
Elizabeth just looked at Declan, her eyes stinging.
"Dad, I won't let myself get hurt again." Elizabeth stopped and suddenly hugged Declan.
No one would always tolerate you, except family.
Family was her greatest support and the courage to choose Alexander again.
Because she knew clearly that no matter what happened in the future, her family would always be there for her.
Declan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and patted Elizabeth's head.
"My daughter, I just want you to be happy."
So he was willing to accept Alexander again.
Elizabeth nodded, "Thank you, Dad."
It was twenty minutes later when Elizabeth saw Declan off.
Elizabeth stood by the roadside, watching the car drive away, her thoughts a jumble.
After a long time, Elizabeth turned around and saw Alexander standing in the distance, silently accompanying her.
The strong afternoon sunlight shone on him, and she felt like she was back in college.
He was dazzling, unique, and impossible to look away from. She walked towards him step by step, smiling and calling out, "Alexander."
But now it was different.
He came towards her step by step, with a halo and burning love, calling out, "Elizabeth."
Elizabeth frowned, her nose tingling with emotion.
The love from when she was eighteen had now shot her right in the heart.
He stepped forward and hugged her.
This time, she didn't avoid or push him away.
Elizabeth closed her eyes. She could finally lean on him, enjoying his warmth and strength.
"Don't let me lose again," she whispered.
Alexander lowered his eyes, his chin resting on her head, "I won't. I promise."
She had to win this bet.
Elizabeth looked up at him.
Alexander's eyes were smiling, and he gently brushed her nose with his fingertip, "Elizabeth, let's date."
He would make up for everything he owed Elizabeth over the years.
"I'm already in my twenties, my youth is gone."
"So what? You'll always be eighteen to me, always youthful." Alexander held her, gently stroking her hair.
His eyes reflected her image, and Elizabeth seemed to see her eighteen-year-old self.
"If we're dating, we should start with a bouquet of flowers, don't you think?" Alexander smiled gently.
Elizabeth tilted her head. Where were the flowers?
Alexander said, "Close your eyes, stand here, and don't move. Wait for me for three minutes."
"What?" Elizabeth was still confused.
He had already raised his hand to cover her eyes, saying, "Just close your eyes."
Elizabeth's heart raced with anticipation, but she obediently closed her eyes.
