Chapter 667

Ivan's words—that he hoped the first snowfall of winter, accompanied by pink roses, would make Elizabeth happy—were truly heartwarming. He was so kind. Unfortunately, Elizabeth met him at the wrong time. She couldn't understand, even now, what she saw in Alexander; why other men were better. Elizabeth thought carefully. It had to be him!

She replied to Ivan's message: [Thank you for the flowers. I’ll treat you to dinner sometime.]

Ivan: [How about tonight? I’m free after I finish work this afternoon.]

Elizabeth smiled, thinking he was a man of action who never missed an opportunity.

Elizabeth: [Alright.]

She felt guilty about throwing away Ivan’s flowers, just as she felt she had discarded his sincerity. So she decided to treat him to dinner. However, Elizabeth still sent Ivan a message: [Next time, don’t buy flowers. I don’t like them.]

Ivan: [How could a girl not like flowers? Girls need to be nurtured with flowers and romance.]

Elizabeth smiled again, thinking he certainly knew how to charm girls.

Meanwhile, another message popped up on her phone.

Alexander: [Did you find out who sent the flowers?]

Elizabeth replied: [Yes.]

Alexander: [Is it Ivan?]

Elizabeth smiled and replied to Alexander: [If you’re so curious, why don’t you ask Ivan yourself?]

Alexander: [Elizabeth, Ivan is not right for you.]

Elizabeth frowned, gripping her phone tightly. She knew she and Ivan weren't suitable, but she didn't need Alexander to remind her. Compared to Alexander's jealousy, Elizabeth preferred Ivan, who took real action.

At night, when Elizabeth got off work, she saw a black luxury car parked at the entrance of the research institute.

Blair teased her, “Elizabeth, another man picking you up?”

Elizabeth gave Blair a meaningful look, feeling a bit annoyed.

Blair smiled slightly, waved at Elizabeth, and turned to talk to other colleagues. “I can’t make it this weekend; I’m going to the Opulent Crest Jewelry exhibition.”

“Really? I heard you need an invitation to see the Opulent Crest Jewelry exhibition. Do you have one?”

“Of course, I do!”

“I’m so jealous of you. I heard only people with social status get invited.”

Elizabeth watched the two walk away. The car door opened, and Ivan got out. He was dressed in a black suit with a trench coat, looking very handsome and clean. “Finally off work, Elizabeth,” he teased as he opened the car door for her.

“What do you want to eat?” Elizabeth asked straightforwardly. She had been busy since leaving the hospital and was really hungry.

“Do you want steak?” Ivan tilted his head.

The car was spacious, but with him looking at her like that, Elizabeth was struck by his good looks.

“Sure.” She nodded and then looked down at her phone.

He suddenly put his hand over hers and sighed. “You’ve been working all day, why are you still staring at your phone?”

Elizabeth was silent for two seconds, then finally turned off her phone. “I won’t look at my phone anymore. Let’s chat.”

Ivan was pleased, because he really wanted to talk to Elizabeth.

“About the flowers,” Elizabeth immediately looked at Ivan and said, “I’m sorry.”
