Chapter 833
Alexander didn't find Declan's words harsh; instead, he appreciated Declan's straightforwardness.
"Previously, there was a bit of a misunderstanding between Elizabeth and me. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, I can say with certainty that I love her."
Alexander's eyes were intense, and his tone was sincere.
Declan didn't trust Alexander's professed love.
What good was love? In the end, a relationship couldn't be sustained by just saying "I love you."
It required responsibility and mutual support.
He didn't believe Alexander was the kind of person who could accept all of Elizabeth's bad temper and be with her until the end.
"I won't let Elizabeth down again. What I owe her, I can never repay in this lifetime. I will treat her doubly well. I hope you and Rose can give me a chance."
"Mr. Tudor. I..." Declan sighed.
Declan really didn't know what to say.
Alexander said, "Please, just say it."
Declan furrowed his brow. Since Alexander put it that way, he decided to be direct.
"Leave Elizabeth alone and let her live her life."
This was Declan's heartfelt wish.
Declan didn't want Elizabeth to have any more entanglements with Alexander.
Including last night, when the news broke that Alexander and Elizabeth went home together.
To be honest, Declan was very angry when he saw the news last night. But it wasn't convenient for him to call Elizabeth and urge her to come home.
Declan had a fit at home with Rose, waiting for Elizabeth to come back, but she never did.
When he found out Elizabeth spent the night at Alexander's place, he was even more furious.
How could Elizabeth dare to get involved with Alexander again?
Had she forgotten how he hurt her?
Kieran sipped his coffee, quietly listening and occasionally observing their expressions.
Alexander had truly humbled himself.
If Alexander didn't genuinely want to reconcile, he wouldn't have made himself so lowly.
As for Declan, Kieran, as an outsider, completely understood Declan's feelings.
Elizabeth used to be very delicate; it was only after marrying Alexander that she changed.
Elizabeth had suffered so much because of Alexander, so it was natural for Declan not to want Alexander to disturb her again.
Alexander remained silent.
The atmosphere was heavy.
"Mr. Tudor, I hope you understand a father's feelings. You have what you want, and I have what I want to protect. Elizabeth is my daughter, my only daughter." This was the person Declan wanted to protect for his entire life.
Alexander furrowed his brow and lowered his voice, "I swear to you, I will protect Elizabeth with you."
"Mr. Tudor, your oath means nothing to me, don't you understand?" Declan said, somewhat helplessly.
Alexander gripped the cup in his hand, his throat dry, unable to speak for a moment.
Seeing this, Kieran slowly spoke, "Mr. Percy, I think you should give Alexander a chance."
"People do change. Alexander said it was a misunderstanding before. I believe he will become a qualified husband in the future."
Kieran chimed in to support.
Declan knew he probably couldn't out-argue the two of them.
Declan stood up, ready to leave.
"Mr. Percy."
Alexander stood up as well.
Looking at Declan's face, Alexander said seriously, "Even if you don't agree, I won't give up."
He had given up once before.
He wouldn't give up a second time.
