Chapter 997
"My grandma has recently taken a liking to Lanny McCaffrey's landscape paintings. Lately, she's been pestering my grandpa to get one for her. Maybe you could give it a try? Win my grandma's favor?"
Alexander could feel that Elizabeth was helping him, making him look better in front of her elders.
Elizabeth was as gentle as ever.
On the other hand, the more he pursued her, the more he felt unworthy of her.
She was too exceptional.
Indeed, the more you got to know some people, the more you fell in love with them.
And with some people, the more you got to know them, the less significant they seemed.
"Elizabeth, thank you," Alexander said sincerely.
Whether it was her willingness to give him another chance or the fact that she had once loved him, he felt grateful.
Elizabeth looked down. "No need to thank me. I'm giving you a chance, but I'm also giving myself a chance."
"Alexander, even if I'm not with you, I won't love anyone else."
She had experienced the pain of love once, and that was enough.
Alexander chuckled softly, his voice deep. "It's my fault. No matter what the future holds for us, Elizabeth, don't refuse someone who truly loves you because of me."
Elizabeth couldn't help but look up at him.
In his deep eyes, she saw a lack of confidence.
"Do you want me to give someone else a chance?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask.
"Are you kidding? Of course, I don't want you to give someone else a chance." He frowned, almost blurting it out.
Elizabeth tightened her grip on the knife and fork in her hand. She looked at Alexander seriously. "Then be nice to me, show me your sincerity. Make me willingly fall in love with you again."
Alexander gazed at Elizabeth.
Their eyes met, and it felt as if the whole world had gone silent.
He wished he could take out his heart and show it to Elizabeth.
Right now, he only wanted her. Nothing was more important than Elizabeth.
Elizabeth stayed with him for dinner, and he took her home afterward.
At the entrance of the Percy Mansion, Alexander watched as the light in Elizabeth's room turned on. He waited for a while before leaving.
Elizabeth stood by the window, watching the car slowly drive away on the distant street, her eyes deep in thought.
She didn't know if giving him another chance was right or wrong. Perhaps life was just a gamble.
If you won, you won.
If you lost, you paid the price yourself.
She was foolish enough to give it another shot.
Elizabeth took a deep breath, turned around, and sat on the sofa. Her phone received a new notification from the research institute.
It indicated that there was new progress in the research! They wanted her to go to the institute the next day!
Elizabeth lay on the bed, exhausted. She sincerely hoped that SH2N would make new progress soon.
The next evening, Elizabeth went to Willowbrook Estate to discuss the progress of SH2N with Celine.
Celine was very happy after hearing the news.
Elizabeth peeled an orange and smiled, nodding.
"Grandma, Grandpa, there's one more thing I need to discuss with you," Elizabeth said, handing the peeled orange to Grant.
Grant was watching the news, his expression serious.
Elizabeth held onto the item in her hand, mentally preparing herself. After much consideration, she asked, "Alexander is on vacation in a couple of days and wants to come with me to see you. Is that okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Celine, who was about to eat the orange, immediately glared at her upon hearing Elizabeth's words.
Grant even stopped watching TV and asked, "What?"
