Chapter 799

Alexander cupped Elizabeth’s face, continuously wiping away her tears. The urgency and helplessness in his eyes made the scene even more heartbreaking.

“Please,” he pleaded. “Don’t love anyone else, and don’t look at other men.” He would be jealous, insanely jealous! Especially Ivan. Every time he saw Elizabeth laughing and chatting with Ivan, Alexander felt like he was going to grind his molars to dust. Because Alexander knew that between him and Ivan, Ivan had a much better chance. Ivan was too good at making her happy. But Alexander couldn’t do that.

“Elizabeth, come back to me, please?”

No one else could make Alexander so humble. Elizabeth bit her lip, her eyelashes trembling. She admitted that Alexander’s words were very moving. But could those seven years really be erased with a simple apology and a few sweet words? Elizabeth shook her head.

He cupped Elizabeth’s face with both hands and gently kissed away the tears on her cheeks.

“Please love me. Love me as passionately and fervently as you used to. I won’t let you down again.”

His words, like his kisses, fell densely, stirring Elizabeth’s heart. Elizabeth was completely swayed by him, as if she were blissfully ignorant. Darkness indeed could make one sink. Her body was already heavy, and hanging onto him felt like finding a support she was unwilling to let go of.

Until the hallway lights suddenly came on. Elizabeth’s heart trembled. Only then did she realize how absurd her actions were. She almost succumbed to Alexander’s sweet talk. She hurriedly pushed Alexander away.

Elizabeth wiped her tears, gave Alexander a meaningful look, and walked away. Alexander immediately chased after her, trying to hold her hand, but she shook him off.

He was relentless, and she pushed him away again and again, not forgetting to warn him, “Don’t come near me again!”

“Alexander, I’ll pretend tonight never happened. If you follow me again, I’ll call the police!” She was clearly sinking, yet she had to act strong. Alexander’s steps obediently stopped. He could feel that Elizabeth’s heart was also moving towards him. So he wasn’t in a hurry. He would conquer Elizabeth step by step. Make her come back to him.

Elizabeth ran out of the research institute. The cold wind made her especially clear-headed. But Alexander’s scent kept lingering at her nose. Elizabeth wrapped her coat tighter, her brows furrowed, feeling it was all too crazy. She was crazy. Really crazy! Elizabeth hailed a cab and went straight home. She didn’t even dare to look back.

Little did she know, at the entrance of the research institute, Alexander and Felix stood side by side. Alexander’s fingers brushed his lips, still savoring the kiss from earlier. But her tears were too bitter. Alexander would try not to make Elizabeth cry again.

“Scumbag,” Felix cursed through gritted teeth.

“She can only belong to me,” Alexander looked at Felix, as if declaring his sovereignty.

“Then why didn’t you cherish her before?” Felix’s eyes were full of hostility towards Alexander.
