Chapter 739

“Alexander, I’ve been persistent for seven years and have failed miserably. How long do you plan to persist?” Elizabeth asked him.

Alexander was at a loss for words. Yes, Elizabeth had been persistent for more than three years, from high school until now. She was the one who had completely devoted her entire…

“Alexander, let us go, please.” Elizabeth frowned, her expression full of pleading.

Alexander had never seen Elizabeth like this before. Usually, when she looked at him with those eyes, it was to make him fall in love with her, to make him accompany her in doing something. But now, when she spoke to him and looked at him like this, all that was left was, “Let us go, please.” She even used the words “please.”

Alexander really didn’t know what else he could do.

“You really want me to let you go?” Alexander looked into her eyes, trying to see a hint of hesitation. But there was none. Elizabeth nodded, very decisively. In her world, she and Alexander were truly a thing of the past. No one stayed in the same place forever; Elizabeth had moved forward, and now the only one left standing still was Alexander.

Alexander completely understood the look in Elizabeth’s eyes. He lowered his head and couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. These seven years, he had ultimately been muddling through, completely losing Elizabeth.

“Okay,” he responded.

Elizabeth looked up, her eyelashes trembling. She clearly heard Alexander say, “Okay!” He didn’t say it just once, but three times, four times. He kept saying okay.

Alexander looked into Elizabeth’s eyes, his dark eyes somber and steady. “Elizabeth, you want me to let you go, as you wish. I’m just not lucky enough.”

Just like Lily said.

He just had to do his best. If that day never came, then he was that lucky, and Elizabeth was never meant to be his.

Alexander choked up. He kept looking at Elizabeth’s eyebrows and eyes. He silently made up his mind not to bother her anymore, but the words at the tip of his tongue just wouldn’t come out. He didn’t want to, he really didn’t want to. But he had no choice. He could only lower his voice and say heavily, “Elizabeth, from today on, I will never bother you again.”

At this moment, he finally understood that making a decision took courage. When he said those harsh words to Elizabeth, it also took determination. He was too foolish; he always thought that Elizabeth agreeing to the divorce was just playing hard to get. Now he understood how much determination it took for Elizabeth to say those words.

Loving someone wasn’t the most painful thing; letting go was. When you loved her, you felt there was still hope, that she might come back. But when you let go, it means there was no chance for you two anymore.

Alexander lowered his head and repeated, “From today on, I will never bother you again. Elizabeth, I’m sorry.”

Elizabeth’s hand, hanging by her side, gradually tightened, and a feeling of pain rose in her heart.

“Thank you, Mr. Tudor.”
