Chapter 758
Kieran sat down and asked Alexander, "Alexander, do you want to go say hello?"
"No." Alexander shook his head, then put down his phone and poured himself a drink.
Alexander had said he wouldn't bother Elizabeth anymore, and he meant it.
Kieran sighed, "Alexander, just letting go like this. Isn't that letting Ivan take advantage?"
"If she thinks that will make her happy, I have nothing to say." Alexander poured another drink and downed it in one gulp.
Kieran remained silent.
Alexander's gaze gradually darkened.
Alexander couldn't help but glance over at Elizabeth. She was quietly eating with her head down, occasionally looking up at Lila and sharing a smile with her.
Probably aware of their presence, Lila stopped scolding, and their conversation became much quieter.
Alexander put down his glass and looked away.
Kieran had something to say but hesitated.
He didn't know how to comfort Alexander.
He always felt there was still a chance to salvage things between Alexander and Elizabeth.
But if Alexander really let go, there might be no future for them.
He could tell that Alexander had truly fallen for Elizabeth. Letting go was something Alexander couldn't do.
And Elizabeth.
Kieran considered himself a love expert, but honestly, he couldn't figure Elizabeth out.
If he had to make a judgment, he could only think positively. He believed that as long as Alexander persisted, Elizabeth would get back together with him.
Elizabeth wasn't heartless. At her core, she was a gentle person, and the Percy Family's upbringing had taught her to always leave a way out.
Elizabeth and Lila soon finished their meal and sat there chatting.
Lila said, "There are so many red carpet events at the end of the year. I'll be running back and forth between the U.S. and abroad, so I might not have much time to see you. If you miss me, just send me a message, okay?"
Elizabeth teased, "If I miss you, I'll just look up your news online."
Lila retorted playfully, "I'm alive, you have my Facebook, why look up news? Just give me a video call!"
Elizabeth laughed, "Lila, be honest, is it me who will miss you, or you who will miss me?"
Lila fell silent.
She looked at Elizabeth with longing eyes.
Honestly, it was she who would miss Elizabeth.
She didn't have many friends; Elizabeth was the only one. In a place like the entertainment industry, where everyone prioritized their own interests, it was hard to make a true friend.
Elizabeth wasn't short of friends; she was always well-liked. Lila cherished her friendship with Elizabeth, that was true.
But Lila was often not around Elizabeth, which made her feel helpless.
They said friendship needed constant contact to grow stronger.
Lila was afraid that even this last friend would eventually leave her.
"Alright, I'll be honest, it's me who will miss you," Lila said earnestly.
Elizabeth snorted. Lila should have just said so directly instead of beating around the bush.
"If you miss me, just send me a message. My phone is on 24/7 for you, how about that?" Elizabeth said, trying to comfort Lila.
Lila was satisfied.
Alexander's gaze drifted over again, and he felt Elizabeth's gentle smile.
But that gentleness was no longer for him.
The impact of this scene was too much for him.
Kieran's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at Alexander, stood up, and said, "I'll go take this call."
Alexander swirled the wine in his glass. Soon, Lila also went out, seemingly to Kieran, and it looked like they were discussing the same matter.
Elizabeth's seat wasn't ideal; she could see Alexander whenever she looked up.
Although Alexander hadn't greeted her, Elizabeth had noticed him looking at her several times.
She lowered her head, thinking to herself that perhaps, this high-and-mighty Mr. Tudor couldn't understand either, why he loved her, yet she left even more completely.
Elizabeth looked out the window, holding her glass and taking a sip of warm water, her gaze gradually becoming turbulent.
