Chapter 594

“I ain’t breaking up with you guys, but I can’t speak for Alexander,” Ivan said, stirring the pot.

Alexander’s face turned stormy, and he had half a mind to dock Ivan. Sure, he hadn’t been all that attentive to Elizabeth lately, but he knew for a fact she wasn’t into Ivan’s type. “Dude, you’re not her type. Trust me, don’t waste your time,” he said.

Ivan just shrugged it off. “Oh yeah? And what type is she into? You?”

“Why do you think she went after me in the first place?” Alexander shot back.

Ivan snorted. “Come on, Alexander. She liked the high school version of you. How long ago was that?”

Alexander’s grip tightened around his cup.

Ivan kept pushing. “Elizabeth’s changed. You don’t know her anymore, so stop acting like you do!”

“Than you,” Alexander fired back.

“Even if I don’t know her that well, I still know her better than…”

Ivan didn’t know Elizabeth all that well, but he was determined to learn everything about her.

Kieran, watching the whole thing, raised his hand. “Can I say something?”

Both guys turned to him, waiting.

Kieran gave a sheepish smile. “Maybe Elizabeth’s got plenty of options and won’t pick either of you.” He wasn’t trying to be a downer, just realistic.

Elizabeth seemed smart. She probably wouldn’t go for Alexander again, and she wouldn’t pick his friend either. Even if she liked Ivan, she’d hold back.

“Why not?” Ivan hated hearing that. Being Alexander’s friend didn’t mean he couldn’t go after Elizabeth.

Kieran threw up his hands, not wanting to argue. He lifted his cup. “Though, let’s just drink.”

The two guys exchanged looks, went quiet, and started drinking.

Deep down, Alexander felt insecure. The thought of chasing Elizabeth again was terrifying.

And Ivan, knowing his own issues, felt pretty helpless too.

Back home, Elizabeth sat on the living room couch, lost in thought. Rose sat next to her, smiling. “What’s up? You don’t look happy. Didn’t you go to the movies with Ivan?”

Elizabeth sighed. “Alexander was there too.”

“Alexander’s really persistent, huh?” Rose chuckled coldly.

Elizabeth rested her face in her hands, looking at Rose.

“Mom, maybe I should just go abroad,” Elizabeth said, voicing the thought again.

Staying here was too frustrating.

“If Alexander wants to chase you, even if you go to outer space, he’ll find you,” Rose said casually.

Elizabeth actually thought Rose had a point.

“But I’ve told him a million times to give up, and he won’t. What should I do?” She was at her wit’s end, hoping Rose had a solution.

Rose tilted her head, blinking, an idea forming in her mind. She smiled. Elizabeth felt a bit uneasy seeing Rose’s sly smile.

She forced a smile. “What?”

Rose squinted. “Why not just announce that you’re married?”
