Chapter 419
Alexander glanced back, and there was Elizabeth, giving him the death stare. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just trailed after Esme.
Elizabeth stayed quiet.
After a beat, she let out a helpless laugh.
What kind of mess was this?
When she looked up again, Maurice was standing right in front of her.
Maurice scratched his head awkwardly, looking pretty lost.
Elizabeth walked over and said, "Let's just get this meal over with."
Whether it was Maurice or Alexander, her plan today was to treat them to a meal.
Alexander might think if he gave her the SerenityLeaf, she wouldn't take it.
But honestly, Alexander was overthinking it.
When it came to research about Celine, she was super careful. She wouldn't mess around with personal grudges.
Even if it was Alexander sitting in front of her, Elizabeth would still take it.
She'd just charge a higher price.
"Aunt Elizabeth," Maurice suddenly called out, catching Elizabeth off guard.
Elizabeth gave a wry smile. "What's your deal with Alexander?"
He shrugged. "Alexander's my uncle."
Elizabeth's mouth twitched.
She'd been in the Tudor family for three years and known Alexander for ages, but she just found out he had a nephew.
And Maurice really looked the part. He had those classic Tudor family good looks, handsome as hell!
"Aunt Elizabeth, who was that chick just now?" Maurice asked.
Elizabeth took a sip of water and reminded him, "I'm not your aunt anymore."
"I don't like her," Maurice said bluntly.
Elizabeth glanced at him and then shut her mouth, saying nothing.
Maurice suddenly asked, "Aunt Elizabeth, if my Uncle Alexander brought you the SerenityLeaf, would you have taken it?"
Elizabeth was looking down. Hearing this, she looked up. Would she take it?
Of course, she would.
Just like she said earlier, she wouldn't mess around with research results.
"Yeah," Elizabeth said calmly.
Afraid Maurice might ask something else, Elizabeth quickly changed the subject, "You don't like Esme?"
"Yeah, she's annoying. I don't think she's sincere at all. She doesn't even really love Uncle Alexander. Esme wants to be my aunt? No way," Maurice said with a cold laugh.
Even though Maurice was only about eighteen, his features were already sharp and handsome.
He was really good-looking.
"What about me?" Elizabeth pointed to herself, looking at Maurice with interest.
Elizabeth just smiled.
But Maurice scratched his head, not knowing where to start.
Elizabeth didn't want to make things tough for Maurice. After all, he was still young.
"I'm heading out. I'll take care of the bill," Elizabeth stood up, unable to eat any more.
For some reason, even though she said she'd take the SerenityLeaf if Alexander gave it to her, Elizabeth still felt a bit off today.
"Aunt Elizabeth, we haven't finished eating," Maurice reminded her.
Elizabeth nodded. "We can pack it up." After saying that, she added, "Don't call me Aunt anymore. Alexander and I are divorced."
After saying this, Elizabeth ran off without looking back.
It suddenly started to drizzle outside. Elizabeth looked up, the light rain falling gently on her face.
Elizabeth rubbed the spot below her shoulder, where the wound was, feeling a faint pain.
