Chapter 679

Yes, it’s all Esme’s fault that this happened. But even if Alexander dealt with her now, what good would it do? Would it bring Elizabeth back to marry him again? He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and let his emotions be swallowed by the night. He had no solution when facing the loss of Elizabeth and all these years.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Alexander picked up the phone; it was Magnolia.

Magnolia: Alexander, are you home? How are you feeling?

Alexander frowned. He didn’t feel any warmth from her concern; instead, he felt annoyed. Just like those years when he didn’t come home, Elizabeth always texted him, and he didn’t feel it was care but rather a nuisance. And now, it was impossible for him to hear her concern again.

Magnolia: Alexander, I’m home now. If you have something on your mind, I’m willing to be your listener. Of course, if you need it.

Alexander quietly looked at the message and replied: No need. Because he didn’t need a listener.

Magnolia: Then Alexander, there’s an Opulent Crest Jewelry exhibition this weekend. Are you coming?

Alexander frowned and hadn’t replied yet. Magnolia sent another message: I invited the famous designer Kennedy. I don’t know if Kennedy will come.

Alexander softly murmured the name, and he remembered something. It was that very popular jewelry designer, Kennedy. Had Kennedy really returned?

Alexander replied to Magnolia: Magnolia, I’m very busy this weekend.

By saying this, Magnolia understood that he was refusing. She was never the type to pester, so she didn’t say anything more and didn’t reply again. Alexander then put down his phone.

When Esme returned home in a rage, the family was watching TV and chatting. Esme sat down angrily, and the family was puzzled. Henry spoke first, “You went out happily; what’s wrong now?”

Esme glared at him. “You ask me? Don’t you know exactly what’s wrong?”

Henry laughed. It was nothing more than because of Alexander. What else could Alexander want when he called her out? It must have been to warn her not to pester him anymore.

“You brought this on yourself,” Henry said.

Hearing this, Esme got angry. “I’m already very upset, and you still want to laugh at me?” She used to be so proud, but in front of Alexander, she was as humble as an ant. Didn’t Henry feel sorry for her anymore?

“Did Henry say anything wrong? Esme, do you really have to like Alexander?” Leon was very annoyed. He was always a man of few words and didn’t want to get involved in Esme’s affairs. But seeing she suffered so much along the way, was she really right?

Esme lowered her head. After the confrontation with Alexander just now, she could feel that they were completely over. But she was unwilling to accept it.
