Chapter 545

Rose chimed in, “Ever since Elizabeth split from Alexander, she’s been in such a better mood.” At least she wasn’t moping around every day like before.

“That’s awesome! By the way, is she going to that jewelry exhibition?” Declan asked.

“Yep, she’s definitely going.” Rose nodded with enthusiasm.

Declan felt a wave of relief wash over him. As a dad, all he wanted was for Elizabeth to be happy. Other people’s happiness or problems? Not his concern. When Alexander hurt Elizabeth, he didn’t care about her feelings. So why should Declan care about him?

“The first Shawn-X Jewelry Exhibition is about to kick off in Lisbun. We hope everyone will support it,” the TV blared the next morning.

Elizabeth, munching on her toast, raised an eyebrow at the sight of the van on the screen. She couldn’t help but pull out the invitation. She looked closely and saw two big sponsors listed in the bottom right corner. One was Ivan’s dad; the other was Ivan himself, who was also the organizer.

Elizabeth, rarely interested, opened the exhibition brochure. There were all sorts of quirky jewelry pieces, with designs that looked super old and unique. But they had their charm. For most people, it was good enough.

Elizabeth finished her last bite of toast and closed the invitation. The exhibition was this afternoon. She decided to take the day off.

Elizabeth did a quick grooming session and headed to the hospital to see Celine. Even though Celine’s hand was still out of commission, Elizabeth had taken over her work, so things weren’t too bad.

Elizabeth peeled an orange for Celine, and they gossiped about the young nurses at the hospital. They were having a blast.

“The research institute must be exhausting, right?” Celine suddenly asked.

Elizabeth looked up, her eyes twinkling. “Not at all.”

If Celine could handle the work, Elizabeth could too. Celine thought about it and nodded.

Elizabeth added, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to nail this project for you.” She wouldn’t mess it up for Celine; she’d do even better.

“Elizabeth,” Celine called out.

Elizabeth nodded. “What’s up?”

“The family just wants you to be happy,” Celine said out of the blue.

Elizabeth paused with the orange segment in her hand, then smiled and said, “I know, I will be happy.”

“Don’t let one person ruin your life,” Celine said, holding Elizabeth’s hand.

Elizabeth sighed. “Come on, Grandma, are you trying to push me into getting married?”

“No,” Celine quickly replied.

Elizabeth just smiled and said, “Got it.”

“Grandma, let’s drop it. I need to head out to the jewelry exhibition,” Elizabeth added.
