Chapter 583

His current heartache and helplessness—weren't these signs that he was starting to grasp what Elizabeth meant? He used to think he had everything under control, but now he realized emotions were a whole different beast. Alexander hung his head, a tear slipping down his cheek. The sting made him feel like he was burning up inside. But Elizabeth had cried countless tears for him, over and over again, and he had never wiped away her tears, never tried to comfort her. He had once yelled at her in anger, “Stop with the fake tears. Quit crying in front of me, you hypocrite.” Now, those words felt like knives stabbing him right back.

“Mr. Tudor,” Nolan called softly.

Alexander looked up, his eyes red and puffy, and asked, “Has she gotten a cab yet?”

“Not yet. It’s late and cold, so there aren’t many cabs around,” Nolan replied.

Alexander stayed quiet and glanced at Nolan. Nolan got the hint and called the nearest cab to take Elizabeth home.

“Mr. Tudor, are you okay?” Nolan asked.

In all these years, he had rarely seen Alexander like this. Alexander was always so decisive and successful at work. When had he ever shed a tear or had red eyes over any woman? Even when he was head over heels for Esme, he had never been this vulnerable.

“I’m fine,” Alexander’s voice was shaky, but he tried to act like he was okay. He looked out the window, thought for a moment, and said, “Once Elizabeth gets in the cab, take me to my parents’ place.”

Nolan was a bit surprised. “You want to visit Lily?”

“Yeah,” Alexander replied.

He leaned back in his seat, watching the trees sway in the wind outside the window. He didn’t even dare to close his eyes, afraid Elizabeth’s disappointed face would haunt him.

A black car pulled up in front of Elizabeth, and she got in. The ride was quiet. Elizabeth stared out the window, feeling oddly calm inside. Maybe this was just adult life and emotions—chaotic, but not enough to break her.

She hated a life that was predictable before. Now, she was actually satisfied with her life. Her phone buzzed with a message.
