Chapter 702
Declan patted Elizabeth on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Elizabeth lazily smiled and hugged his arm. "Dad, I love you very much."
"Yes, you love me so much that you want to cut ties with me." Declan held a grudge.
Elizabeth pouted. "Dad..."
"I've called you so many times, but it didn't change your mind. In the end, you only came back because Alexander hurt you!" Declan expressed his deep sadness.
He had devoted his whole life to his family, but his beloved Elizabeth cut ties with him just for a man! He was truly disappointed.
"Dad, I was disobedient before. I promise I won't cause you any more trouble in the future." Elizabeth knew she had hurt his feelings. But she really wouldn't do it again.
"Alright. Don't take it to heart. Isn't family meant to be a source of trouble and burden?" Declan patted her hand and sighed. "Just don't find me and your mom annoying when we get old!"
Elizabeth shook her head. "I won't, Dad. I'll always be with you."
"Let me ask you something." Declan turned around, very serious. "Why did my friend say they saw you at the hospital today? What were you doing there?"
Elizabeth was stunned.
"I heard Lily had an accident. Tell me the truth, did you go to the hospital to see Alexander's grandmother?" Declan had a look that said he knew everything and she shouldn't lie to him.
Elizabeth pouted. "Your friend saw me, so you must know who I was with. Why ask me?"
"Yes! My friend said you were with Alexander! You even took him to see a doctor! You took care of him, it makes me so mad!" Declan slapped his thigh. "How can you be so weak? Why are you still taking care of that bad man?" His face turned red.
The reason he hadn't slept yet was to wait for Elizabeth to come back and talk about this.
"Dad." Elizabeth thought for a moment. "Even though I'm divorced from him and have no feelings left, there's still some human decency, right?"
Declan silently listened to her.
Indeed, the Percy family valued emotions deeply. Otherwise, Elizabeth wouldn't be so well-liked by the Tudor family.
"I just feel sorry for his mom and grandma. Not because of him. Dad, I just think that when we're not enemies, it's okay to be a little friendly." Elizabeth lowered her head and fidgeted with her hands.
Saying this, she felt a bit guilty. And she didn't know if she was right.
She only knew that the Tudor family had never wronged her and had indeed loved her over the years.
She could let go of her issues with Alexander when it was time, but the Tudor family was innocent.
Just like how the Tudor family had always respected her over the years.
"Got it." Declan patted her shoulder and sighed. "You have always been the most well-mannered. And you never do anything embarrassing unless someone pushes you too far."
Elizabeth was very grateful that Declan understood her so well.
In such difficult times, at the crossroads of life, having family support was the most precious thing.
"Alright, let's end tonight's conversation here!" Declan thought for a moment and then said, "I remember there's an exhibition at OpulentCrest Jewelry this weekend, right?"
"Yes." Elizabeth and Declan went upstairs together.
"Do you want to go? I can get you an invitation." He remembered that Elizabeth liked jewelry.
"No need, Lila doesn't have time to go, so I'll go in her place," Elizabeth replied.
