Unrepairable Love

Chapter 400

In the next few days, Esme chilled out and stopped causing drama. She played nice with the hospital staff, and Alexander showed up every day to spend time with her. Elizabeth stuck to her usual routine. Every day, she went home and listened to Declan gripe about Kyle’s latest batch of goods.

Word on the street was that Alexander had it out for Kyle. Kyle was pretty much helpless against Alexander and had no choice but to stand his ground.

At some fancy dinner party, Elizabeth showed up to pick up a wasted Declan. As soon as she walked into the private room, she spotted a bunch of familiar faces.

“Elizabeth, you’re here,” one of the older guys waved her over.

Elizabeth nodded and checked out the crowd. There was Alexander, Kieran, and the newly popular Kyle. Seeing them all at the same table was a bit of a shock for Elizabeth.

“I’m here to take my dad home; he’s had too much to drink,” Elizabeth said with a graceful smile.

Early October in Lisbun was pretty chilly in the mornings and evenings. Elizabeth wore a white dress with a long cardigan. Her hair was casually tied up, and she wore a pair of white flats. Her outfit was understated, giving her an indescribable beauty. Her arrival also lightened the tense vibe in the room a bit.

“Elizabeth, I’m not drunk,” Declan, his face already red from drinking, clung to Elizabeth’s arm and said, “Let me chat a bit more, and then we’ll leave.”

Elizabeth pursed her lips and awkwardly looked at the older guys. “I’ll take my dad home first; you guys carry on,” she said, trying to pull Declan up.

When Declan’s full weight pressed down, Elizabeth’s body visibly shook. Alexander frowned, his hand twitching as if he wanted to step forward to help.

“Sorry,” Elizabeth nodded to everyone, struggling to support Declan. Alexander nudged Kieran, giving him a look.

Just as Kieran was about to get up, Kyle stood up first. Kyle walked over and said calmly, “Ms. Percy, let me help you take Mr. Percy home.”

Elizabeth looked up and met Kyle’s eyes. Kyle lifted Declan’s arm and helped him out.

Elizabeth pursed her lips, turned her head, nodded to everyone, and quickly followed them out. Alexander watched them leave, his brow furrowing slightly, then he shot a dark look at Kieran.

“Always a step too slow,” Alexander thought.

“Why is Kyle so eager to please the Percy family?” Kieran had noticed it at the dinner table.

“Who knows,” Alexander said quietly. He got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside. Soon, he saw Kyle helping Declan to Elizabeth’s car.

Elizabeth always drove that purple Pagani, eye-catching and flashy, just like her! Alexander frowned with his hands in his pockets, watching as Kyle helped Declan into the car, then Elizabeth and Kyle talked. Elizabeth’s lips curved into a gentle smile, saying something unknown. Kyle took two steps back, and Elizabeth quickly got into the car and drove off with Declan.

Kyle watched Elizabeth’s car for a long time, then turned his head and looked up, seeing Alexander standing by the window. Their eyes met, filled with unspoken danger. Alexander’s throat moved, and his hand in his pocket gradually clenched.

‘What’s Kyle’s real intention in getting close to the Percy family?’ Alexander thought.

After a while, Alexander left the private room. Kyle had just come upstairs, and Alexander reached the elevator door. Kyle smiled and said, “I was gonna take your ex, Elizabeth, and Declan home, but she said no.”

Alexander squinted and thought, ‘He knew Elizabeth is my ex-wife? So why is Kyle so diligently getting close to Elizabeth?’
