Chapter 465
Alexander was the one who sucked the joy out of Elizabeth's life and turned it upside down.
But did Elizabeth know? Back in high school, he actually had a crush on her.
In college, he fell in love with her.
He quit smoking for her, picked a university close to the med school for her, and even made the Tudor Group's first venture into the medical field, all for her.
Elizabeth always said he didn't care about all the good she did for the Tudor family and that their marriage was something she begged for.
But that wasn't true.
Alexander remembered every kind thing she did for his family. He knew she massaged his mom and made his grandma happy.
At first, Alexander did want to marry Elizabeth. He was ready to spend his life with her and was convinced he loved her.
But when did it all change?
It was when Alexander got kidnapped. Elizabeth vanished, and Esme showed up, taking care of him. In the end, he found out Esme had saved him.
Did he love Esme?
No, he didn't.
But out of a sense of duty, Alexander felt he had no choice.
Why did he start to dislike Elizabeth more and more? Because over the years, Elizabeth and Esme were always at each other's throats, and he was exhausted.
As the head of the Tudor Group, Alexander had a lot of people watching him, and he had to manage the whole company.
He couldn't afford to focus on love and relationships.
After all, life was just about spending it with one woman.
He tried to love Esme, but he couldn't. He only felt grateful to her for saving him.
He kept saying he wanted to divorce Elizabeth, but when she finally agreed and the divorce was finalized, Alexander had to admit he freaked out.
Alexander looked into Elizabeth's eyes. Could she see the whirlwind of emotions in his eyes, his inner turmoil, and his odd behavior?
"Alexander, let's just let each other go," Elizabeth finally said, no longer as defensive as before.
Alexander had big dreams and shouldn't be held back by love.
Likewise, after divorcing Alexander, Elizabeth deserved a better future.
Elizabeth looked up and helped Alexander adjust his suit and tie.
"You don't love me. You're just not used to suddenly missing someone who always depended on you," she said.
Alexander looked at her, his heart racing. It felt like the first day of their marriage.
Elizabeth had tied his tie for him just like this.
The only thing that had changed was her eyes.
Back then, her eyes were full of tenderness, and her every move showed her admiration for him.
But now, her eyes were distant, indifferent, and cold.
Alexander had completely lost Elizabeth; this gesture and her eyes made it painfully clear.
He parted his lips and said in a deep voice, "Elizabeth, I have to marry Esme is because she..."
His phone suddenly rang.
He turned it off, but as he was about to speak again, it rang once more.
At that moment, someone outside shouted, "There's a fight on the deck; it looks like Esme got hit."
Alexander paused.
Elizabeth saw him immediately walk out and chuckled.
Alexander turned to look at her.
Elizabeth spread her hands, as if to say, "See, no matter how big the issue, Esme is always more important, isn't she?"
