Unrepairable Love
Chapter 566
Outside the venue, Elizabeth glanced back at Alexander and Ivan vying for her attention, feeling a wave of frustration. “Are these two ever going to give it a rest? Do I look like I have time to mess around with them?” she thought.
“Ivan,” she said, clearly annoyed, “it’s crazy busy inside. Why don’t you head back in and keep everyone company? Are you following me?”
She understood Ivan’s intentions. With so many guests and important people inside, she couldn’t afford to be inconsiderate. That was simply how things worked.
“It’s cool; they’re all my friends,” he said, giving Alexander a meaningful look.
Alexander sensed Ivan’s subtle provocation and knew whatever he was about to say would anger him.
Ivan didn’t hold back. “Everyone knows I’m planning to pursue you,” he said bluntly.
Sure enough, Alexander’s face went ice-cold. Elizabeth felt even more exasperated.
“Alright, both of you stay here,” Elizabeth said, shaking her head. “I don’t need an escort; I drove myself.”
“It’s late, let me drive you. You’ve been drinking, and you can’t drive,” Alexander said, stepping forward to take her keys.
Elizabeth dodged him. She shot Alexander an unfriendly look but remained somewhat gentler with Ivan.
“I’m saying this for the last time: I can get home by myself. Got it?” Elizabeth snapped.
Ivan, noticing her anger, said, a bit hurt, “Elizabeth, I just wanted to drive you home. If you don’t want that, fine. I don’t want to upset you. I just wanted to make you happy.” His tone was slightly aggrieved, like a little elf complaining about being wronged.
This made Alexander look particularly stiff and awkward. Alexander glared at Ivan. How had he never noticed before that Ivan was so good at playing the victim?
“Alright, go back to your business,” Elizabeth quickly instructed Ivan.
Ivan obediently replied, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. I definitely won’t bother you.”
Alexander raised an eyebrow. Ivan looked at him as if to say, you should be sensible too. Alexander was speechless. Ivan could act however he wanted, but he didn’t need to drag him into it.
Alexander looked at Elizabeth again. “Since he’s not driving you, I’ll do it,” he said, just as Nolan drove up.
The car door opened, and Alexander directly pushed Elizabeth into the car and followed her in.
Ivan was left standing there. “Alexander, you’re shameless!” he shouted angrily. Beth wanted to get out but couldn’t, and Ivan regretted being so considerate earlier. He forgot that Alexander was not the type to be obedient. Alexander had always been rebellious and bold; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he was today!
He drove away. He sent a message to Alexander: (Alexander, can we compete fairly?)
In the group chat, swinging from what had happened, someone kept asking, “What did I miss? Quick, tell me!”
In Alexander’s car, Elizabeth’s eyes filled with displeasure. She really didn’t like Alexander’s domineering behavior, which showed no respect for her at all. The car was very silent, leaving Nolan at a loss for words.
