Unrepairable Love Chapter 322
"Ya, don't follow me," Alexander shot back at Lily. Then, he dragged Elizabeth outside.
Lily froze, totally confused. She figured Alexander wouldn't hurt Elizabeth; they probably had some things to hash out. Lily snuck over to the window, peeking out to see Alexander pinning Elizabeth against the door pillar. Her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but chuckle. She plopped back on the sofa, waiting for the juicy details.
Elizabeth frowned, eyeing Alexander warily, her gaze full of suspicion. Alexander hung his head, one hand on the pillar, struggling to find the right words. But standing there, face-to-face with Elizabeth, he felt his throat tighten, unsure how to begin.
โElizabeth, lemme say it again,โ Alexander muttered, locking eyes with her. โI didnโt accept Esmeโs proposal last night.โ
Elizabethโs face was ice-cold. โYeah, I know. Whatโs he trying to prove by repeating it a million times?โ she mused.
โIโm heading to find Esme now. Got that?โ Alexander pressed.
โYes, got it,โ Elizabeth replied, her tone flat and calm.
โThatโs it?โ Alexander pushed.
Elizabeth shrugged. โWhat else do you want me to say?โ
โWhatโs up with Alexander today?โ she wondered.
โYou couldโฆโ Alexander started, but Elizabeth suddenly straightened up and leaned in a bit. Her perfume hit him, and he swallowed hard, looking up.
โBeg you to stay?โ Elizabethโs eyes twinkled mischievously. โLike before, begging you without any pride?โ
Alexander choked, a flicker of helplessness in his eyes.
โAlexander, Iโm human. My heartโs not made of stone,โ Elizabeth said earnestly.
โWhat makes him think Iโll always beg to stay by his side or love him forever?โ she thought.
โItโs over between us,โ Elizabeth reminded him. โSo stop acting all high and mighty. When I stop loving you, that attitude just makes me despise you more,โ she thought.
Alexander clenched his fist. Her words clearly pissed him off.
โYou donโt care at all?โ he asked, his voice low, trying to keep his emotions in check.
Elizabeth just smiled, her answer to his question. She didnโt care at all and found his question ridiculous.
โEven if itโs Esme now, you donโt care?โ he asked, his voice tinged with anger.
Elizabeth looked up, their eyes locking, his expression intense. Alexander couldnโt believe she didnโt care. But her calmness made his face burn with embarrassment.
โMr. Tudor, I donโt care,โ she replied coolly. โIโm that doormat?โ she thought. โAlexander can marry whoever he wants. What does it have to do with me? Does he stillโฆโ
Alexander fell silent.
Elizabeth brushed his hand away. โIโm not going in. Tell Grandma to help her check the results.โ
With that, she turned to leave.
