Chapter 584
Elizabeth tapped on the message and saw a cute emoji.
Ivan: [Got any plans tomorrow? Wanna catch a movie?]
Elizabeth knew Ivan had a thing for her. But she wasn't ready for anything romantic, so she turned him down.
Elizabeth: [I'm swamped.]
Ivan: [Are you really busy, or just dodging me?]
Elizabeth squinted, impressed by how sharp he was.
Ivan: [It's just a movie, no big deal. I just got back to the country, and you're my only female friend. I can't exactly ask Kieran and Alexander to go, can I?]
Elizabeth smirked: [You could ask Kieran. He'd probably be up for it.]
Kieran had a lot of free time lately!
That afternoon, Lila sent Elizabeth a screenshot of a chat with Kieran.
Kieran had asked Lila where she was filming and then said: [Can I visit you on set?]
It showed just how bored Kieran was. But because of his status, Lila turned him down.
A company president visiting a star on set would start rumors in no time.
Plus, Lila and Kieran had already been rumored to be involved before.
Lila wanted to avoid that mess; she just wanted to focus on acting and winning awards!
Ivan: [I'm a guy. Is it cool to watch a movie with another guy?]
Elizabeth: [Sure.]
Ivan: [Elizabeth, you're too much.]
Elizabeth chuckled but didn't reply.
Ivan sent another message: [Whatever, we're going tomorrow night. I'll wait for you at the research institute entrance.]
Elizabeth sighed.
Every day, a different guy was waiting for her at the research institute entrance. Was this really okay?
Elizabeth: [Aren't you busy with work? Isn't your exhibition going to take days? Ivan, maybe we should just drop it.]
Ivan: [I'm going to bed!]
Elizabeth, feeling helpless: [I really don't want to watch a movie. Working all day is exhausting.]
Ivan: [That's exactly why you need a movie to unwind!]
Elizabeth couldn't out-stubborn him.
Being young meant loving to have fun more.
When Alexander got to the place, it was already past eleven at night.
The yard was super quiet, and when Alexander pushed the door open, Lily was on the couch watching TV, waiting for him.
Natalia Ruth had a blanket over her shoulders and a cup of tea in her hands. Hearing footsteps, she looked up.
Alexander glanced at Lily, feeling helpless. "Grandma, why aren't you asleep?"
"You came over so late. Something must be up. How could I sleep?" Lily pointed to the seat next to her, signaling Alexander to sit.
Alexander's eyes were filled with sadness as he walked over to Lily.
Just from those few steps, Lily could tell Alexander was troubled.
"What's going on?" Lily asked, not forgetting to take a sip of tea.
Alexander poured himself a cup of tea, but before he could drink it, Lily asked, "Is it because of Elizabeth?"
Alexander's grip on the cup tightened, and he lost the desire to drink. He put the cup down and sighed.
Lily clicked her tongue. "See, I told you, you'd regret divorcing Elizabeth. But Alexander, isn't it a bit too soon to regret? How long have you been divorced?" Lily's tone was clearly reproachful, teasing.
