Chapter 209

Elizabeth laughed. Lately, she’d heard a lot of people say she still loved Alexander. She looked at him and wondered if she really did. Maybe there was a bit of love left, but it was more out of stubbornness. She gazed at his handsome face, remembering when they first got married.

Lila had asked her, “Elizabeth, do you love him that much? Even if he treats you coldly after marriage, you still want to marry him?” Back then, she had answered confidently, “I love him. I’ll only love him in this lifetime.” But now, she couldn’t say it with the same conviction.

Elizabeth smiled. This time, she wanted to keep her dignity around Alexander. Alexander felt a pang of irritation as she looked at him. Her smile felt like a knife, cutting into his heart.

Elizabeth softly said, “Grandma, I really don’t love him anymore.” Hearing this, Alexander’s heart clenched. Even though she’d said it many times, seeing her smile while saying it still hurt. He thought back to their college days when she had smiled the same way and said, “Alexander, I have a secret to tell you.” A secret everyone knew. For the first time, she had leaned close and whispered, ‘Alexander, I love you.’

Alexander’s hand clenched into a fist. He couldn’t bear to reminisce and lowered his head. Seeing him lower his head, Elizabeth’s smile grew gentler. She said, “I’ve kept Alexander by my side for so many years. It’s been hard on him. Let’s set him free.” Setting him free also meant setting herself free.

Elizabeth took a sip of coffee. She thought, Perhaps it was because today’s coffee is so bitter and cold that my heart ached. Must be the staff’s bad mood, adding too much coffee powder and ice.

Elara looked at Elizabeth, her eyes reddening. “Elizabeth.” Elizabeth had suffered so much after marrying into the Tudor family. Alexander slowly raised his head and looked at her. His lips moved as if to say something, but then he heard her say, “Mr. Tudor, I agree to the divorce.” It was something Alexander had decided on the day he married her three years ago. Elizabeth had agreed too late. Alexander’s brow twitched, and his breathing became heavy.

Lily held Elizabeth’s hand. “Elizabeth, I don’t agree!” Elizabeth shook her head. She didn’t want to continue anymore. She frowned and pleaded, “Grandma, please.” Alexander’s gaze was fixed on Elizabeth. She was even begging Lily to divorce him.

“I’m used to having you around. Now you want to divorce Alexander, what am I supposed to do?” Lily turned her head and wiped her tears. “Grandma, we can still get along! Besides, after I leave, there will be others.” Elizabeth smiled at Alexander, “Mr. Tudor, I sincerely wish you and Ms. Russell an early marriage.”

Alexander’s hand, holding the coffee, paused. His eyelashes lifted slightly, and the next second, the coffee cup was on the table. His movements were abrupt, causing the coffee to spill. He picked up his suit jacket and strode out. “Alexander!” Lily called after him.

“I’m going out to take a call. You all talk. Whatever she wants to do, let her.” His voice was muffled. Lily immediately asked, “What if Elizabeth doesn’t want a divorce?” Alexander’s footsteps halted.
