Chapter 1100
"Dad, thank you." Elizabeth hugged Declan.
Declan sighed, "Look at you, all grown up but still wanting to hug your old man. If Alexander saw this, he'd be green with envy."
"What's wrong with hugging my own dad? No matter how old I get, I'll always be your little girl!" Elizabeth said with a playful eye roll.
Declan nodded, "That's right, always daddy's little girl."
The phone rang.
Elizabeth pulled out her phone to see Alexander's name lighting up the screen.
Elizabeth and Declan looked up simultaneously, their eyes meeting in silence.
"Go ahead, take it." Declan patted her head.
Elizabeth chuckled and pointed towards the dining room, "Dad, can you help me smooth things over with Grandma and Grandpa? Love you!"
With that, Elizabeth went upstairs.
By the time Elizabeth returned to her room, Alexander had already called a second time.
Elizabeth answered, "Sorry, I was having dinner. Didn't hear my phone."
As she spoke, she began changing clothes.
Alexander said, "I thought you got home and were being mobbed by your family, regretting it and not answering the phone."
Elizabeth scoffed, "For your information, I have my dad's full blessing."
"I was already grabbing my keys to head to your place."
"Great, I like a man of action."
"As soon as I got home, my grandma called me over. I told her about us getting back together."
Elizabeth looked up, took off her earrings, and glanced at the phone on the table, "What did your grandma say?"
"What else could she say? She was overjoyed, of course." Alexander's tone became a bit more cheerful, "Grandma asked if you could come over for dinner now. She hasn't had a meal with you in a long time."
Alexander's tone was a bit pitiful when he said this.
Elizabeth smiled, "And then?"
"I said, it should be possible now, right?"
Elizabeth didn't respond.
Wasn't this also a kind of test from Alexander?
"It should be possible now, right?" he repeated, thinking she hadn't heard him.
Elizabeth continued her deliberate silence.
Alexander grew impatient. "Why aren't you answering me?"
Seeing Alexander's impatience, Elizabeth finally relented and smiled, "Yes, it's possible now."
Teasing a man should be done in moderation, too much was not good.
"So, when will you come home with me for dinner?" He asked cautiously.
Elizabeth thought for a moment, "Tomorrow night."
"Great! I'll pick you up after work."
"Okay, I'll be at the research institute tomorrow."
"Have you eaten?"
"Yeah, I caught my parents in the middle of dinner when I got home, so I joined them. What about you?"
Elizabeth sat on the sofa, her gaze drifting to the window.
