Chapter 464

Elizabeth shoved the door open. There stood Alexander. He had on a white shirt, his tie a bit crooked. The second he saw her, his brows knitted together like he had a ton on his mind. Elizabeth dropped her gaze, then stepped aside, giving him the go-ahead to come in. Too many people around; they couldn’t chat at the door. But Alexander didn’t budge.

“Elizabeth. How much more are you going to hold in? I’m here now, it’s all out.” He looked at her, eyes showing a hint of weariness.

Elizabeth glanced at him and gave a bitter smile. “What’s the point now? I don’t feel like talking.”

“I’m right here, and you still don’t wanna talk?” Alexander stepped closer, his Adam’s apple bobbing. There was a hint of doubt in his voice.

Elizabeth laughed. “I’m the one who’s hurt, and you’ve always been above it all. We’re divorced now, and you act like you’re ready to listen to my feelings. Isn’t that a bit hypocritical?”

Every word she said was like an invisible knife, stabbing straight into Alexander’s heart. He pressed his lips together, feeling a tug at his heart. In front of Elizabeth, he had always been the one above it all. He was the one who had failed this marriage and Elizabeth. His expression grew more complex, then he lowered his eyes and softened his stance. “I’m just trying to remind you that you and Ivan aren’t a good match.”

“This is my personal matter, and you don’t need to interfere,” Elizabeth shot back coldly.

“Elizabeth, I mean no harm.”

“You like meddling in my life so much? Then can I also say, Alexander, I mean no harm, but you and Esme aren’t a good match?” Elizabeth spread her hands, looking at him with intense emotion.

She didn’t want any entanglement with Alexander. Yet he always seemed to pop up in front of her. Elizabeth always said she didn’t love Alexander anymore. But after all, it was seven years of feelings, and she admitted she couldn’t face him without any emotional turmoil. That was her entire youth. That was the man she had loved with all her might. Her youth was gone, and her true love was gone. Her life was about to become worthless.

Alexander listened to her words, and his heart sank deeply. He indeed wasn’t suitable for Esme. Esme was full of schemes, spoiled, unable to manage a household, and had no personal ambitions. She was just someone spoiled by the Russell family. Honestly, she was not his ideal type at all. But he had no choice.

Alexander tugged at his tie, lowering his voice, “Elizabeth, do you want to know why I have to marry Esme?”

“I’m really not interested. And you shouldn’t care about me and Ivan either.” Elizabeth smiled at him.

Elizabeth always told Alexander to mind his own business. This was nothing but a knife to Alexander’s heart. He stepped forward, placing one hand on the wall beside her ear, seriously reminding her, “Ivan is my friend! Do you want me to watch my ex-wife and my friend get together?”

“You don’t love me, so why do you care?” Elizabeth squinted, her eyes threatening.

Alexander’s heart skipped a beat. The hand he had on the wall gradually clenched into a fist, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face. In high school, Elizabeth was resilient, sunny, and cheerful. But now, she was helpless and unyielding. She had indeed become more beautiful, but she had lost her happiness and bright cheerfulness. All of this was because of Alexander.
