Chapter 725

Alexander was rendered speechless by Elizabeth’s words. After a long silence, he said, “You’ll like this necklace.”

Elizabeth said nothing, watching as he opened the jewelry box. When she saw the jewelry inside, she moved her lips but then closed them. It wasn’t just any jewelry, but the beautiful Kennedy necklace from Ivan’s last jewelry exhibition. “You’ll like it,” he said.

Elizabeth looked at the necklace, feeling a bit touched. It wasn’t that she liked the necklace Alexander gave her, but she liked that he seemed to remember she liked Kennedy.

Elizabeth lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say. “Elizabeth, don’t be mad at me,” Alexander continued. “I know I was terrible before, but I won’t let you down again. Give me another chance, even if we have to start as strangers.”

Maybe they could get to know each other again. Then become friends, and finally, he would pursue her and become her lover. He even hoped he could still have the chance to become her husband. If one day he could still have her, he would have no regrets in this life.

“You have many friends, so you don’t need me,” Elizabeth kept her eyes on the Kennedy necklace.

“Indeed, but I only want to be friends with you,” his voice was so light it seemed like the wind could blow it away.

Elizabeth was surprised. She always saw a kind of inexplicable fatigue and desolation in Alexander, which made one feel helpless. Is he changing tactics, trying to play the pity card? Elizabeth thought to herself.

“I can accept this necklace,” Elizabeth said, not wanting to waste more words with him. “But don’t do such childish things again, and let’s try to see each other less. We’re not gonna work out, don’t be delusional.” Her tone was so calm that it starkly contrasted with his. Delusional. The word Alexander had used most to describe her. And now, Elizabeth was giving this word back to him.

Elizabeth closed the jewelry box and looked at him. “Your body is sending you signals that you should rest well. And…important, so focus on that first.” She was about to leave. But she heard him say, “I don’t care.” She then frowned, as it was just a spiteful remark, which made him seem particularly incompetent.

But it was the first time Elizabeth had heard such words from Alexander; maybe he didn’t mean it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the famous Alexander of Lisbur… Elizabeth was about to leave when Alexander’s phone rang.

He answered the call, turned to look out the window, and his previously sorrowful face was instantly filled with confusion. “What? When did it happen?” Elizabeth vaguely heard the mention of Lily in his call. Did something happen to Lily?

“Got it. I’m heading over now,” Alexander said. Then he hung up. Elizabeth saw him rushing out and immediately grabbed him, asking, “What happened to Lily?”
