Alexander suddenly looked up and said, “Nolan, I’m not going home. Let’s go to the noodle shop near the medical school.”

Nolan glanced at Alexander and nodded, “Okay.”

Alexander said he would let go, but he still couldn’t just let Elizabeth go. When a person deeply loved another, they sought out memories. In the past, it was Elizabeth who tried to find their memories. Now, was Alexander searching for them?

However, when the car stopped near the medical school, Alexander’s hand rested on the armrest, but he didn’t make a move to open the car door.

“Is that Elizabeth?” Nolan looked somewhat surprised at Elizabeth, who was eating noodles alone in the noodle shop.

The noodle shop had a large window, with a row of tables in front of it, facing the street. Elizabeth sat by the window, her beautiful face clearly visible.

Alexander’s heart sank, as if falling into an abyss, making it hard for him to breathe. Elizabeth hadn’t forgotten. But he didn’t have the courage to go in and sit beside her.

“Why is Elizabeth here?” Nolan didn’t know the story of this noodle shop.

“Mr. Tudor, are you going in?” Nolan asked Alexander.

Alexander shook his head. He just sat in the car, quietly watching.

Elizabeth ate slowly. She was also playing with her phone. Her hair kept falling down, and she wanted to tie it up but realized she didn’t have a hair tie. She seemed a bit frustrated.

Outside, it was a cold December, and the earlier snow hadn’t melted yet. The ice and snow outside contrasted with the moderate indoor temperature. Everything seemed so peaceful and cozy.

Alexander couldn’t help but smile. She was still the same as in college, always liking to let her hair down but never carrying hair ties or clips. So every time she lowered her head to eat noodles, she would get annoyed.

He remembered one time at 10:30 PM, she dragged him to eat noodles. She said it was to reward him, adding extra meat and eggs for him.

But after finishing her own, she stared at his bowl. How could he resist Elizabeth’s eager eyes on his food?

Chapter 784

Back then, he loved Elizabeth. He loved her so much that he wanted to marry her.

Elizabeth finished her noodles and drank some hot soup to warm up. Oh, and there was another time. He was eating noodles alone and she found out.

She scolded him, “What’s the point of eating noodles alone?”

Alexander never had the heart to tell her. Eating noodles with her, he never got full. She would either take his meat or his noodles. But now, she would never say that to him again. She would just push him away, reject him, and then come to eat noodles alone.

Alexander’s eyes darkened. His throat tightened, and he felt a deep bitterness inside.

‘Elizabeth, what’s the point of eating noodles alone?’

On Christmas Eve, the news of Esme’s arrest caused quite a stir. It stayed on the trending list for several days, and the Russell Family’s stock kept dropping. Alexander had seized the Russell Group’s goods, causing one of their factories to halt operations. All work plans were delayed.

Henry was working day and night. Even Leon, who had been waiting to retire, had to come back to help Henry.

That night, Ellen finally couldn’t hold back. At 10:30 PM, Henry had just returned home. He hadn’t had a bite to eat all day.

As soon as he got home, he saw Ellen crying, “Henry, let’s go see Esme.”

“Mom, you said you wouldn’t care about her anymore,” Henry replied coldly.

Esme dared to harm Lily; she should have known that Alexander wouldn’t let her go. Now that Alexander was making things difficult for Esme, no matter how hard the Russell Family tried, it was useless.

“But Henry, I had a dream. I dreamed that our Nancy wasn’t doing well outside. Do you think it’s God punishing me, punishing us for not treating Esme well?” Ellen cried sadly, gripping Henry’s arm tightly.

Henry looked at Ellen, feeling very heavy-hearted.
