Chapter 564

Alexander looked down and said, “If cursing me makes you feel better, go for it.” He figured Elizabeth wouldn’t mind letting off some steam by cursing him. In fact, he thought about how much it must’ve hurt her when he used to treat her like that.

“Cursing you is too much work; hitting you would be more satisfying,” Elizabeth sneered.

He then lifted his head and met her eyes, saying, “Go ahead.”

Elizabeth paused. Alexander was a man of great pride. The Alexander she remembered would never have said something so straightforward.

“Go ahead with what? Letting me hit you?” Elizabeth stepped closer, looking into his eyes.

He nodded, still looking at her, not intending to look away. Did he really think she was so shallow that she could be easily appeased? But she wouldn’t hit him. She wanted him to feel constant guilt. To make him endure all the suffering she had gone through over the years. If her days were tough, his days wouldn’t be any better.

“I don’t care,” Elizabeth sneered coldly, pushing Alexander away to leave the dance floor.

Alexander chuckled softly. Elizabeth’s emotions were better than none. At least she was still vibrant, and she was still angry at Alexander. As long as she is angry, it is a good thing, Alexander thought.

Alexander immediately grabbed Elizabeth’s waist and pulled her back. “The dance isn’t over.” He was incredibly calm.

Elizabeth almost wanted to curse. “I don’t want to dance with you?”

“Then who do you want to dance with, Ivan?” he asked.

Elizabeth was furious. “None of your business!” Her temper is getting worse, Alexander thought.

“What time do you usually get off work?” he asked.

Elizabeth was annoyed and said, “Let go, I’m not dancing anymore.”

“From now on, I’ll wait for you at the lab entrance every evening at x–thirty,” he said to himself, ignoring what Elizabeth said. “Elizabeth, on weekends, we can have dinner and watch movies together. From now on, all my time is yours. Whatever you want me to do with you, I’ll do. Okay?” He looked into Elizabeth’s eyes, almost to the point of being immersed.

Chapter 564

Elizabeth was frustrated. Couldn’t he understand what she was saying?

“Alexander, I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore, do you understand?” Elizabeth was really annoyed! There were many people here, and she didn’t want to make things too awkward with Alexander.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ivan looking her way. But the light was on Ivan, so it was darker on her side. He probably couldn’t see what was happening here.

Alexander noticed Elizabeth’s resistance. His hand holding her wrist was constantly being pushed away. Alexander’s mind calmed down a bit. He directly pulled Elizabeth out of the dance floor.

Elizabeth couldn’t resist him and had to follow him. She didn’t know where Alexander was taking her, but the corridor was very dim. When they reached the end, he pressed her against the wall, his body leaning in.

Elizabeth suddenly felt fear. Her back was against the wall, and she was anxious. It was too dark around; she couldn’t even see his face. His hand gripped her wrist, and he lowered his voice, gritting his teeth. “Elizabeth, I’m serious. You better be serious too.”

Elizabeth was terrified. “Is this how you pursue someone? Alexander, if you pursue me like this, I won’t be with you in this lifetime!”

Alexander raised an eyebrow, his breath falling on her lace in the darkness. He just said, “Okay.”

It made Elizabeth’s heart tingle.
