Chapter 732
Elizabethโs eyes inevitably showed a trace of disdain. How did he see that she felt sorry for him? She was clearly worried that something might happen to her.
Elizabeth glared at him and grumbled, โTine, fine, if you donโt need to rest, then take me to the research institute. I donโt know when you started enjoying being a chauffeur for others!โ
Alexander listened to her words but found Elizabethโs nagging endearing. He wished Elizabeth would nag him a bit more; it made him feel there was less distance between them. Alexander immediately walked in, feeling much happier.
Elizabeth couldnโt help but scold him, โYour own grandmother is still in the hospital, and you donโt worry about her. Instead, you spend your time on me. Alexander, you never know how to prioritize.โ
โYou and my grandmother are both important. Since I chose to take you, it means my grandmother doesnโt need my attention right now. But if I had chosen to stay at the hospital to take care of my grandmother today, I believe you wouldnโt have said anything. Right, Elizabeth?โ
Elizabeth looked at him. The elevator numbers were counting down, and Elizabeth remained silent, knowing Alexander was right. Even if he hadnโt taken her today, Elizabeth wouldnโt have protested. But since he did, it meant there was no need to worry about the hospital.
Elizabeth didnโt say anything more. When the elevator doors opened, Alexander followed her out immediately. He wanted to open the car door for Elizabeth, but she brushed him aside, opened the door herself, and settled into the back seat.
Alexander looked at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth met his gaze. She seemed to be deliberately provoking him. โWhat, is it not okay?โ
Alexander remained silent. How could he say it wasnโt okay?
In this area, there was a custom that, whether friends or lovers, it was best to sit together in the front. Sitting in the back gave the impression of treating the other person like a chauffeur. But today, Elizabeth just wanted to treat Alexander like a chauffeur. Even if she knew, she did it on purpose. Alexander naturally dared not speak up, especially since he had insisted on taking her.
Elizabeth sat in the back like a boss, replying to messages and reading the news. Alexander wanted to talk to her, but she was indifferent. Alexander felt very humble. Elizabeth looked out the window, occasionally glancing at Alexander in the driverโs seat. She was curious to see how long Alexander could keep up the act. How long would Alexander continue to treat her this way? From what she knew, Alexander couldnโt keep it up for long. He might never come to her again.
Elizabethโs phone suddenly rang; it was Ivan. Elizabeth pressed the answer button and put it to her ear, hearing Ivan ask, โWhere are you? Do you have time today? Letโs grab a meal together?โ
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, looking out the window, her tone calm, โWhat do you want to eat?โ
โAnything is fine, you choose. By the way, a really good movie just came out recently. Want to go together?โ Ivan said on the phone, and Elizabeth listened while glancing at Alexander.
Alexander listened carefully. Elizabeth smirked; she knew Alexander was curious.
โIโm not really hungry today; maybe next time,โ Elizabeth responded lightly.
Alexander noticeably breathed a sigh of relief at this, and he focused on driving.
Ivan was dissatisfied. โWhy are you always not hungry? Thatโs not good; health is important! We must have dinner together, no excuses!โ tonight.
