Chapter 733

Elizabeth laughed. “I’m on a diet.”

“You’re already so thin. Why are you dieting? Are you crazy?” Ivan decisively criticized Elizabeth.

Elizabeth lowered her head. “Alright, I’ll come.”

Ivan replied enthusiastically, “Great, I’ll pick you up tonight.”

“No need, I drove. Just tell me the location, and I’ll meet you there,” Elizabeils said, rolling a strand of hair between her fingers and glancing at Alexander. This time, their eyes met simultaneously. Elizabeth curved her lips into a smile, as a greeting to Alexander. Alexander remained silent. Was she provoking him? She was talking to another man on the phone and still smiling at him?

Alexander’s expression turned icy. He wished he could pull over and question Elizabeth properly. But remembering what Elizabeth said today, he felt he had no grounds to argue.

Elizabeth hung up the phone. Alexander couldn’t help but ask, “Ivan?”

“Yes.” Elizabeth didn’t intend to hide it. “He mentioned a great restaurant and asked if I wanted to join him.”

“You agreed?” Alexander asked.

Elizabeth looked down at her phone. “Ivan seems sincere. I think it’s worth a try. We all need to move forward, and that includes you.”

“You just want me to stop pursuing you,” Alexander said, clearly displeased.

“Yes, exactly, glad you understand,” Elizabeth nodded, not missing the chance to compliment him. “Even though you look tired, you’re still sharp.”

Alexander sneered, easily detecting the sarcasm in Elizabeth’s words. “Elizabeth, you really know how to hold a grudge.”

Elizabeth said nothing.

“You never sympathized with me. I’m a victim too,” he said, his voice laden with grievances. Elizabeth nodded. “Indeed. I can’t understand you, just as you can’t understand me.”

“Is this because the one suffering isn’t yourself? Look, now you…”

“Alexander, didn’t I say that the reason we can’t get over this… You think I’m making a big deal out of nothing. But you can’t get over it either.” Elizabeth’s eyes were increasingly sincere.

But Alexander couldn’t take her words to heart, even if Elizabeth made sense.

Elizabeth looked at the entrance of the research institute and said lightly, “Don’t drop me off at the door, just here is fine.”

“What, do you think my recent troubles will affect you if I drop you off?” His tone was somewhat displeased.

Elizabeth sighed. Yes, he would always think of her that way. Did he really think she was that despicable? Just because his company had some issues, she wouldn’t let him drop her off at the door?

“Alexander, honestly, you have no chance with me in this lifetime,” Elizabeth replied.

Alexander’s way of speaking was utterly unlikable. Elizabeth had never met anyone like him. How did she ever fall for Alexander?

Alexander belatedly realized he might have said something wrong, but it was too late.

“I’ll just assume you haven’t rested well and your mind isn’t clear. Alexander, you really need to think about whether our relationship is worth your persistence.” Elizabeth opened the car door and got out.

With a bang, the car door was slammed shut. Alexander took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead.
