Chapter 543

Somehow, Alexander had ended up leaning on Elizabeth more than he ever thought he would. He was always itching to text her, and even at work, he couldn’t shake the urge to go see her. He kinda got why Elizabeth did what she did back then. It wasn’t shocking; it was just what happened when one cared too much about someone. People in this world weren’t that hard to handle; it was one’s own heart that was the real challenge.

Alexander just watched, feeling a heavy weight in his chest. He knew he had lost Elizabeth and needed to make things right, but with her cold stares and indifference, he was at a loss. They seemed stuck. No, maybe it was just Alexander who was stuck. Elizabeth, on the other hand, was moving on. Back then, he was the one moving forward, and Elizabeth was right behind him. Now, Elizabeth was the one moving forward, and he couldn’t keep up, no matter what.

Alexander lowered his head; the tension in the car was suffocating. He closed his eyes, replaying the past few years in his mind until a knock on the car window snapped him out of it. Alexander looked up to see Declan standing outside. They ended up sitting on a bench.

Alexander fiddled with his phone, sneaking glances at Declan beside him. Declan looked back, and when their eyes met, Alexander quickly looked away.

Declan laughed. “I used to think you were so high and mighty; even after you married Elizabeth, you still had that air about you.” It was the first time Declan had seen Alexander so unsure, and it made him a bit uneasy. Alexander clearly didn’t know how to respond. Declan broke the silence. “You’re here looking for Elizabeth?”

Before Alexander could answer, Declan went on, “You two are divorced; why are you still chasing after her? Elizabeth’s got a bad temper.”

“She’s actually pretty great,” Alexander said.

Declan chuckled. “Great? She was spoiled from day one. Later, she liked you and clung to you every day. Don’t tell me you didn’t find her annoying; even I did!”

Alexander quickly shook his head. “I feel about Elizabeth…” He wanted to say he didn’t dislike her. But then Declan cut in, “I’m telling you this because you two just don’t fit.”

Alexander didn’t know what to say. He looked at Declan, frowning.

Declan continued, “You two aren’t a match, and Elizabeth isn’t anything special. So, since you’re already divorced, just let it go.”

Declan blamed it all on Elizabeth. But he didn’t realize the one who wasn’t special was Alexander. Alexander’s face showed rare panic. He looked off into the distance, thought for a moment, and said, “Declan, give me one more chance.”
