Unrepairable Love

Chapter 313

Esme’s face turned stormy when she saw the newspaper. She freaked out, thinking the Tudor family would learn of the scandals, so she rushed to confront Alexander.

But, surprise, surprise, she was still too late.

“Look at you! How do you expect to marry into the Tudor family like this? If this gets out, won’t it be a total disgrace to us?” Elara snapped, tossing the newspaper at Esme.

Esme stumbled back. She stared at the newspaper on the floor, her heart breaking.

“Ms. Russell, the Tudor family isn’t just any family. Not just anyone can waltz into our home. If you and Alexander are just friends, fine, whatever. But if you think you can marry into the Tudor family and become Alexander’s wife, forget it.” Elara’s voice was ice-cold.

Marrying into the Tudor family? Esme’s got no shot! Elara thought.

After that, Elara glared at Alexander and said, “Alexander, come with me.”

“Mom, what’s the point of making such a scene?” Alexander’s voice dropped. I’m a grown man in my twenties, and Elara’s making a big deal out of this. Does she really have to go off on Esme like this? If the Russell family finds out, it’s gonna be another mess, he mused.

“Alexander, if you don’t come with me now, I’ll take it as you choosing Esme over this family!” Elara spat through gritted teeth.

Alexander didn’t expect Elara to be so vehemently opposed to Esme. She even threatened to cut ties.

Elizabeth exchanged a look with Joseph.

Joseph whispered, “I knew Mrs. Tudor wasn’t thrilled with Esme, but I didn’t think she was this angry.”

Elizabeth gave a helpless smile and heard Elara say again, “Esme or us, Alexander, pick one!”

Elizabeth eyed Alexander and thought, Elara’s really pushing Alexander to make a choice. Who’s he gonna pick?

It only felt like Alexander had been making tough choices his whole life.

Elizabeth suddenly…

“Let’s go,” Elizabeth said to Joseph, her eyes soft.

“Not gonna stick around to see how it ends?” Joseph asked.

Elizabeth shook her head. “What’s the point?”

“Elizabeth, if it were you, what would you choose?” Joseph asked as they entered the elevator.

Elizabeth thought about it seriously.

“I don’t know,” she told him.

No matter what Alexander chose, it was going to be bad.

Joseph smiled, opened the car door, and as Elizabeth got in, he said, “If it were me, I’d only choose you.”

Elizabeth paused.

“There’s no option to choose me here,” she said.

Joseph got in and buckled up. “It looks like none of the choices include you, but in reality, every decision revolves around you.”

Elara didn’t want Esme to marry Alexander because she didn’t want Elizabeth and Alexander to separate. Choosing the Tudor family was choosing Elizabeth—

Elizabeth didn’t want to think about Alexander’s mess anymore. She just looked up and could still see the rooftop lights flashing.

Joseph drove her home. Elizabeth got out, and Joseph followed. She looked at him, so gentle and classy, making it hard to refuse.

“Joseph,” Elizabeth suddenly called out.

“Yeah?” he answered.
