Chapter 766
"Mr. Getty, Why are you looking at me like that?" Lila tilted her head, puzzled, and looked at Kieran.
Kieran's eyes were deep. When questioned by Lila, he looked away. "Like what?"
"Do you think your spokesperson is different from what you expected?" Lila asked him.
Kieran lazily smiled. "I chose you. So no matter what, I won't undermine you. Ms. Parker, you can rest assured."
"Really?" Lila lowered her eyes and smirked.
Elizabeth always felt that the two of them were speaking with a sharp edge.
She hoped Lila wasn't interested in Kieran just because he was Alexander's friend.
The latter half of the event was uneventful. The three of them sat together, and no one dared to approach them.
Elizabeth stayed up until the early hours. Lila had drunk too much.
"I'll take her home," Kieran stood up and picked up Lila's coat.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, wanting to stop him, but after looking at Kieran, she didn't.
Actually, if he was willing to settle down, he wasn't too bad. After all, he was rich, handsome, and powerful.
Lila was a top star in the entertainment industry. She needed someone like him to support her. If they could be together, it would be a strong alliance.
Although Elizabeth's marriage was a mess, she sincerely hoped Lila could be happy and loved.
"Kieran, I hope my judgment is right," Elizabeth whispered as she watched their backs.
As she spoke, a waiter approached Kieran and said, "Mr. Getty, this is from a gentleman for you."
Kieran saw it was a note, took it without asking anything, and then helped Lila leave.
When Elizabeth left the bar, it had started to snow lightly outside.
It was very cold, and she shivered as soon as she stepped out.
She rubbed her arms and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes fell on her cheeks, cold and quickly melting.
Years ago, she fantasized about growing old with Alexander.
Now, she could only let the snow turn her hair white.
Elizabeth couldn't help but reach out to catch the snowflakes.
The moment they landed in her palm, they turned into water droplets.
Just like her feelings for Alexander, she couldn't hold onto them.
Some might say that since Alexander had come back, she could choose him and hold onto him.
But that kind of love was no longer what Elizabeth wanted.
Elizabeth felt helpless.
A silver Ferrari stopped in front of her, and Elizabeth looked inside. It was Felix.
"Boss, time to go home," he said cheerfully. "You drunk?"
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "I can hold my liquor."
Felix lazily smiled. "Sure, sure."
Elizabeth tilted her head. Sitting in the passenger seat, she looked at Felix's profile and suddenly thought of Alexander in college.
She loved to have fun and would often sneak out to drink. Every time, Alexander would come to pick her up with a displeased look.
He would also ask, "You drunk?"
And she would always say, "No."
Then she would use the excuse of drinking to tease and provoke him.
Once, she even secretly kissed Alexander on the cheek.
That was the boldest thing Elizabeth had ever done, even bolder than liking Alexander.
She thought Alexander would scold her and push her away.
But he didn't. So she mistakenly thought he had loved her too.
Elizabeth lowered her head. Thinking about college, it all still felt like a bubble, unreal and easily burst.
In reality, Alexander had never belonged to her, right?
Elizabeth turned her head to look out the window.
Elizabeth said she hadn't drunk too much, but her face was still red, and her heart felt heavy.
Elizabeth closed her eyes, and soothing music played in the car.
But for some reason, she felt incredibly sad inside.
Sadness from unfulfilled love and the exhaustion of life.
