Chapter 482
"Nolan," Esme said, clasping her hands behind her back and giving him a gentle smile. "Are you done with the company's stuff?"
Nolan didn't even look at her. He walked straight to the hospital bed and respectfully said, "Mr. Tudor."
Alexander responded with a simple hum.
Esme frowned, clearly nervous.
'Why's he here now? And why'd he lock the door? Is he gonna spill everything? What if he tells Alexander?' Esme thought, biting her lip.
Alexander noticed Esme acting all weird and tense since Nolan showed up.
Esme bit her lip, thinking, 'Should I just come clean to Alexander? Maybe he'll forgive me because of our history.'
She felt super uneasy.
"Mr. Tudor, I need to report something," Nolan said seriously.
Alexander took a sip of water, signaling Nolan to continue. He was grateful to have someone as capable as Nolan backing him up.
"Alexander," Esme interrupted, trying to cut Nolan off.
Nolan glanced at her, and she forced a smile. "Nolan, Alexander just woke up. If it's about work..."
"It's not work; it's personal," Nolan said, cutting her off with a smile.
Esme clenched her hands, her eyelashes trembling.
"If it's personal, then..." Esme tried to speak again.
Alexander asked, "Esme, are you feeling unwell? If you are, go rest. Nolan and I need to talk."
Esme's face stiffened. She couldn't leave now. She looked at Alexander, her lips moving slightly, but she didn't know what to say.
Alexander just waited patiently.
Nolan said slowly, "Let me say it."
"No! Nolan, you can't!" Esme suddenly lost control, her voice sharp.
Alexander frowned, sensing something was off.
"What's going on? " Alexander asked, worried about Esme. She was his savior, after all. Even though they weren't married, he still cared about her.
Nolan raised an eyebrow. "Esme, do you want to say it yourself?"
"I..." Esme's breathing quickened, her heart racing. 'This is too sudden. I haven't even thought about how to tell Alexander I'm not the one who saved him! None of this was part of my plan. What if he finds out I impersonated Elizabeth and messed up his life? He'll hate me!'
Esme was anxious, her thoughts racing.
Nolan looked at her coldly. He was facing Alexander, who had been deceived for years.
Alexander, irritated, put down what he was holding and looked at Nolan coldly. "Speak!"
The more straightforward he was, the more anxious Esme became.
'Is Nolan really not giving me any chance? What I can offer him is something he can never earn in his lifetime!' Esme thought.
"Nolan, think it through! I can fulfill any of your requests," Esme said, stepping in front of Nolan to block him.
