Unrepairable Love
Chapter 390
When Declan rolled back, he spotted Elizabeth swinging her racket on the court. Relief washed over his face. The Elizabeth he remembered was always full of energy, never bogged down by life's noise, messing up her groove. Elizabeth's stamina was solid; she kept up with Kyle without any problem. Of course, Elizabeth had no clue if Kyle was taking it easy on her.
“Not every day you see a girl play tennis this well,” Kyle said, not holding back on the praise.
Elizabeth took a swig of water and shot him a glance. “Thanks.”
“We should play together next time,” Kyle said, holding his racket, his tone chill and respectful.
“Sure.” Elizabeth nodded and then called out to Declan, “Dad.” Since they got to the tennis hall, Declan had been glued to his phone, and Elizabeth had no idea what he was up to. Today's spot seemed picked just for her.
Elizabeth wiped her sweat and suddenly heard someone outside say, “Mr. Tudor’s here too? And he brought his fiancée, is that true?” The staff all rushed out to see what was up. Elizabeth didn’t catch what they were saying. When she looked up, she saw Alexander and a few friends strolling in.
No matter the time or place, or what he was wearing, Alexander always had a crowd around him and could easily grab everyone's attention. Today, Alexander was rocking a black t-shirt and loose sweatpants. Since college, Alexander rarely dressed like this. He looked great. Having seen Alexander in suits and shirts countless times, his casual attire now evoked a sense of nostalgia in Elizabeth.
At that moment, Alexander also noticed Elizabeth. But soon, his gaze shifted to Kyle standing next to her. Alexander frowned.
Elizabeth saw Alexander and Kyle’s gazes lock in the air and couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Do they know each other?’ Kyle stood up and walked towards Alexander. With everyone watching, Kyle smiled and said coldly, “Alexander, long time no see.”
Alexander squinted, looking at Kyle’s outstretched hand, and replied, “Yeah, long time no see, Kyle.” Elizabeth frowned, trying to figure out their relationship. Alexander’s gaze followed Kyle’s towards Elizabeth.

Is Kyle getting close to Elizabeth? Alexander thought. Kyle glanced back and smiled. “Ms. Percy’s got some serious tennis skills. Mr. Tudor, how about a match?” Kyle had played tennis with Elizabeth. Alexander pursed his lips, feeling an inexplicable annoyance. He raised the corners of his mouth and replied, “Sure.”
“How about 2v2?” Kyle asked.
“Okay,” Alexander replied calmly.
Kyle asked Elizabeth, “Ms. Percy, 2v2, you down for a match?” Elizabeth shrugged, indifferent.
“Then Mr. Tudor, pick someone?” Kyle’s eyes had a cold glint. Alexander looked at Elizabeth, then scanned the few friends behind him and randomly pointed to someone.
When Declan finished his call and came back, the four people on the court were already deep into the match. Declan was puzzled. “Why is Alexander here? Elizabeth, watch out!” Declan was quickly drawn to the game. Elizabeth fiercely returned every ball Alexander hit while they played. Alexander didn’t want to target Elizabeth, so after a few rounds, he intentionally aimed at Kyle. Kyle had already noticed and deliberately stayed around Elizabeth. If Alexander wanted to hit Kyle, he’d end up hitting Elizabeth. Alexander realized Kyle was doing it on purpose. After a few more rounds, because Alexander couldn’t bring himself to hit hard, the game stayed at a stalemate.
