Unrepairable Love

Chapter 229

Elizabeth clutched her phone, deep in thought. Alexander couldn’t find her at night and freaked out. Was he starting to have feelings for her?

“Are you getting discharged tomorrow?” Alexander asked out of the blue.

Elizabeth turned off her phone and saw Alexander with a hairdryer, ready to dry his hair. She nodded. “Yeah.”

“No need for Tosen Joseph to pick you up; I’ll take you home,” he said, drying his hair.

Elizabeth wrapped herself in the blanket and mumbled, “Mr. Tudor, you don’t need to bother.”

Alexander laughed coldly, ran his fingers through his hair, and unplugged the hairdryer. He tossed it into the cabinet and glanced at her. “If you don’t want to trouble me, then listen to me.”

Elizabeth went quiet. Alexander was so bossy. “My driving license will be ready the day after tomorrow,” she told him.

“Got it,” he replied in a low voice, lying down on the sofa.

Elizabeth looked at him, feeling a surge of emotion. They’d been married for three years, but she’d never seen him treat her this well. Now that they were about to divorce, why was Alexander acting like a good husband?

Elizabeth lay down on the bed. It was two in the morning. Surprisingly, she didn’t feel scared tonight. Their breathing was steady, and neither felt sleepy. Elizabeth turned on her side, the bedside lamp barely illuminating Alexander’s profile.

“Alexander,” she called softly.

He opened his eyes to look at her without saying anything. “Aren’t you afraid I might cling to you and refuse to divorce?” Her voice was soft, with a hint of coolness in the quiet night.

Silent for a moment. Then he said faintly, “Elizabeth, I have to marry Esme.”

Elizabeth gripped the blanket tightly, hearing him say, "Tame has led too much for me."
