Chapter 585
Alexander knew Lily was blaming him. After his split with Elizabeth, the family was the most upset. Lily hadnโt talked to him in a long time.
โGrandma, please stop mocking me,โ Alexander turned away, unable to face Lily. In that moment, Lily let out a cold laugh. โOh, so you know Iโm mocking you? Good, at least youโre not completely fooled.โ
Alexander was already feeling lousy, and her words only made it worse. โGrandma!โ he called out again. He came looking for comfort, to talk about his feelings, not to get scolded! He got up to leave.
Lily snorted. โGo ahead, but if you leave, donโt bother coming back!โ Alexander stopped in his tracks. The room was dim, the flickering light from the TV casting shadows in the living room. Alexander sat back down. Lily gave him a light slap on the head. โYouโve really messed up your good life!โ
โGrandma, I know I was wrong,โ Alexander lowered his head. โI just want to win Elizabeth back. Do you think I still have a chance?โ
โOf course not. Women donโt go back to someone who hurt them! Besides, you hurt Elizabeth so deeply! Youโd better give up,โ Lily scoffed. Even though she really liked Elizabeth, she was a woman. โIf I were part of the Percy Family, I wouldnโt let Elizabeth get back with you either!โ Lily added.
โGrandma, please help me,โ Alexander looked at Lily, feeling utterly helpless.
Lily laughed. โNow you want my help? When I told you not to get a divorce, what did you say? You told me to stay out of your business!โ
โGrandma, I know I was wrong,โ he repeated.
Lily said, โIf you want to win Elizabeth back, you donโt need to do anything.โ
Alexander was confused. Lily raised her hand and poked his heart. Alexander lowered his head, still not getting it.
โAlexander, when you genuinely start to care for Elizabeth and fall in love with her, youโll naturally win her back,โ Lily said.
Alexander shook his head. โI donโt understand.โ
Lily sighed. โWhat I mean is, you need to be sincere.โ
Chapter 585
Alexanderโs eyes flickered; he looked at Lily. Lily nodded. Only with sincerity could he win Elizabeth back. It wasnโt because he was Alexander that everything he did was justified!
Alexander frowned, but something seemed to be slowly taking root in his heart.
The next day, after work, Elizabeth tried to sneak away. But she heard Blair saying, โWhat guilty thing have you done to be so cautious?โ
Elizabeth gave Blair a meaningful look. โDo I need to report everything I do to you?โ
โNo, but it annoys me,โ Blair said.
Elizabeth really wanted to give Blair a good beating. Annoyed, Elizabeth straightened her back and walked out. From a distance, she saw Alexander sitting by the car, smoking. Why was Alexander here again?
