Chapter 108
Elizabeth heard Alexander and studied his face for a moment. She squinted, singing softly, โI want a tall, handsome fork.โ Alexander erred, shocked by her bluntness. โFeeling lonely?โ He pinched her chin, his gaze colder.
โYouโre cheating on me, so why canโt I find a jock? Is that illegal?โ she shot back. Before he could respond, she continued, โYou canโt cheat and then restrictโฆโ Alexander was speechless.
After a while, he asked, โAre you complaining?โ
โYes, Iโm complaining.โ She complained about his neglect during their three-year marriage and his entanglement after the divorce. He gave her hope, only to disappoint her repeatedly. Wasnโt this hurting her? She was an ordinary woman, not a hard stone!
The car was silent for a few seconds. Elizabeth looked out the window, then heard Alexander say, โYou insisted on marrying me.โ She turned to him, her eyes tearing up. So did I deserve to be abandoned? He didnโt reply, just started the car. Elizabeth realized she had lost her composure and stopped talking. She didnโt ask where they were going until they stopped at a private restaurant.
Alexander got out, opened her door, and she asked calmly, โWhat are you doing?โ
โGet out,โ he said, walking ahead. Elizabeth hesitated, noticing the quiet surroundings and warm lights from a few shops, then followed him.
Alexander pushed open the restaurant door, and a burly man greeted him. โMr. Tudor.โ
โExcept spicy seafood, make whatever else you want,โ Alexander said, heading to a private room. The man nodded at Elizabeth. โMrs. Tudor.โ Elizabeth was surprised he knew her. Alexander frowned at her from the private room door. โWhat are you standing there for? Come in.โ
โWe just ate, and now youโre taking me to eat again!โ she frowned, annoyed.
โYou ate?โ he replied, equally annoyed. Both were in a bad mood. When the man brought the utensils, he wondered if they were really a couple. Alexander booked out his phone. Nolan called. Alexander walked to the window. โGo ahead.โ
Chapter 1
โMr. Tudor, thereโs new progress on the incident from four years ago! An eyewitness saw Ms. Percy at the beach after you were taken.โ Alexander looked at Elizabeth, who glared back. He lowered his voice, โGo to the cell and bring out the suspect who kidnapped me.โ The best way to find out who saved him was to ask the survivingโฆ
โOkay, Iโll handle it first thing in the morning!โ
After the call ended, Alexander was unsettled. He took a deep breath, recalling what people had said, โElizabeth always follows Alexander around. As soon as he was kidnapped, she disappeared!โ He instinctively bit his fingertip, his gaze complex.
โHow old are you, still biting your fingers?โ Elizabeth mocked. Alexander frowned, put his hand down, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
