Chapter 166

“Do you care about who’s bullying me, if I’ve been wronged, or do you just care about me?” Elizabeth’s voice softened, almost disappearing by the end.

Alexander stayed silent for a moment.

Elizabeth smiled faintly, knowing the question would only bring Iser pain. She calmly continued, “I get it, Mr. Tudor. You’re concerned as an ex-husband.”

The elevator doors opened, and Elizabeth stepped in, seeing Alexander still outside. She knew their relationship couldn't go further.

Elizabeth smiled and asked, like talking to a stranger, “Mr. Tudor, are you coming?”

Alexander checked his watch. His gathering wasn’t over yet, but it was about time. Nolan could handle it.

Seeing him check the time, Elizabeth thought he wasn’t coming, so she pressed the elevator button.

Just as the doors were closing, he blocked them and walked in, saying, “I’ll take you home.”

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. After he entered, she pressed the close button again. “I can go back by myself.”

“It’s on the way,” he replied.

Elizabeth stayed silent. The elevator descended in silence. The doors opened, and they walked out together.

Before reaching the restaurant entrance, they ran into Esme. Esme approached Alexander with a smile. He seemed surprised to see her.

Esme wrapped her arms around Alexander’s waist, glanced at Elizabeth, then looked at Alexander, and said, “Have you been drinking?”

Alexander frowned. “Did Nolan tell you I was here?”

Esme nodded. “Yes. I was looking for you and couldn’t find you.”

She hooked her finger around Alexander’s, exuding seduction, and said softly, “Alexander, Henry is free today. He wants to invite you to our house for dinner.”

Elizabeth couldn’t stand their flirtation. It felt like a shot to her heart. Seeing them together, she didn’t want to make herself uncomfortable and left.

“Elizabeth!” Alexander called after her.

Elizabeth waved without turning back. “You don’t need to take me home. I can go by myself.”

Esme stared at Elizabeth’s back, feeling suspicious. Nolan said Alexander was here for a business meeting, so how did he run into Elizabeth? She must have planned this! Esme thought, feeling even more furious. If Elizabeth wasn’t out of the picture, she feared she’d never marry Alexander!

“Don’t ask Nolan about my schedule again.” Alexander suddenly removed Esme’s hand from his waist.

Esme looked at Alexander, noticing his darkened expression. “I couldn’t reach you, so…” she explained.

Alexander frowned, lowering his voice. “If you can’t reach me, it means I’m busy. Or I’ll contact you.”

Hearing this, Esme’s expression turned a bit disappointed.

“Check our chat history. How many times can you contact me in a year? You’re busy every day!” Esme crossed her arms in dissatisfaction and huffed.

Alexander paused. He believed he had spent as much time with Esme as possible, but she was still not satisfied.

What about Elizabeth? He truly didn’t contact Elizabeth more than a few times a year. Thinking about his attitude every time Elizabeth texted or called him, he felt that he owed Elizabeth so much that he could never repay her in this lifetime.

“Alexander, I just love you too much.” Esme lowered her head, this time not throwing a tantrum but expressing her love. She knew very well that Alexander liked obedient women. He would never like a strong-willed woman.
