Chapter 321
Alexander was totally speechless.
He figured Elizabeth must think he’s a total jerk now.
“I didn’t agree to Esme,” Alexander blurted out.
Elizabeth glanced up at him.
Alexander had no clue why he felt the need to spill that to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was taken aback. “Why are you telling me this?”
She thought, 'Does Alexander think I still give a damn? Or is he hoping I’ll be thrilled because he didn’t agree to Esme?'
“Got nothing to say?” Alexander was surprised, feeling a bit ticked off.
“What do you want me to say?” Elizabeth smirked. “Great?”
Alexander’s stare got more intense.
He just kept looking at Elizabeth, feeling like he didn’t know her at all anymore.
Elizabeth felt like a complete stranger to him!
Alexander even wondered if she was still the same Elizabeth who used to be by his side.
Why was Elizabeth so cold and distant now?
“Elizabeth, are you still mad at me for misunderstanding you?” Alexander asked.
When Elizabeth threw the evidence at him in the hospital, it was clear she’d been holding a grudge all this time.
“Are you overthinking?” Elizabeth shot him a glance and walked out.
Alexander turned around, watching her frail-looking back.
Seeing Elizabeth like that, Alexander felt a burning sensation inside him.
He thought, 'Elizabeth really doesn’t care about me anymore. Even if Esme proposed to me and Elizabeth saw it last night, she just watched like a bystander. In the past, Elizabeth would’ve stormed in, ruined the scene, called Esme shameless, and slapped her. Then she’d turn to me and beg me to not like Esme and give her some love. But now, look at Elizabeth.'
Elizabeth was heading to the sofa to give Lily a massage. She had a smile on her face, but there was this unapproachable vibe about her.
Alexander was super frustrated; he grabbed his suit jacket and was about to leave.
“Where are you going?” Lily suddenly called out.
Alexander turned his head, his gaze landing on Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was turned sideways, still massaging Lily. She didn’t care where he was going.
“To find Esme,” Alexander said calmly, like he was saying it just for Elizabeth to hear.
Elizabeth still didn’t react, not even lifting her head.
Just as Lily was about to scold him, Elizabeth softly said, “Grandma, don’t be mad. If he wants to go, let him go. It’s not worth getting upset over.”
“Elizabeth,” Lily’s face turned red with anger.
Elizabeth squatted down and gently said, "Granny, you adore him, don't you? If he can marry his sweetheart, he'll be happy. If you truly care for his well-being, just set him free."
Elizabeth’s voice was light, like a breeze.
It was this casual tone and attitude that made Alexander’s heart ache.
He clenched his suit jacket, feeling like he could crush his teeth.
He thought, 'Not only does Elizabeth not care if I go to find Esme, but when Lily tries to stop me, Elizabeth even persuades Lily to let me go?'
When Elizabeth finally looked up at Alexander, she said, “Granny's not holding you back. Why not go?”
Alexander’s heart was pounding faster and faster, like something was about to burst out.
Alexander’s throat tightened, determined to break through Elizabeth’s stubborn facade.
He strode towards Elizabeth, grabbed her arm, and started dragging her outside.
“What are you doing?” Elizabeth struggled, but she wasn’t as strong as him. She called out to Lily, “Grandma!”
