Unrepairable Love

Chapter 812

“Elizabeth, we really need to talk. Maybe this is a good opportunity, don’t you think?” He pushed the wine glass toward Elizabeth, his eyes serious.

Elizabeth pursed her lips and couldn’t help but smile. What was he trying to do, get her drunk?

“Mr. Tudor, I don’t drink with sick people. If you drink yourself to death here today, I can’t explain it,” Elizabeth smiled.

Alexander could tell she was reminding him of his stomach problem; her words were a bit harsh, though.

“Don’t worry. If I die, it’s not your responsibility.” Alexander picked up the glass and drank it all in one go.

Elizabeth was silent, looking to the side. Alexander filled the glass with wine again, asking the waiter for more. Elizabeth watched him drink alone; in the end, she couldn’t resist and had a glass herself.

She looked at the vibrant dance floor. The music in the bar wasn’t loud, just enough for people to hear each other, but everyone was having a great time. Men and women were close together, the atmosphere full of flirtation.

Just as Elizabeth was watching the fun, Alexander’s voice suddenly entered her ears, clear and delicate: “Elizabeth, I’m laying it all out. I liked you a lot in high school. Do you believe me?”

Elizabeth’s hand tightened inexplicably around the glass. She looked back at Alexander, a bit surprised.

“But Elizabeth, you’re younger than me. When I was a senior in high school, you were just a freshman. Besides teasing you, I couldn’t do anything else.”

“What are you doing? Are you trying to create a persona of a deeply affectionate man?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but ask.

Why was he suddenly saying this? Didn’t he know that the more he talked about the past, the more ridiculous she felt? He said he liked her in high school, but in the end, he gave her up for Esme. Wasn’t that ironic?

Alexander didn’t expect Elizabeth to be so resistant to this topic. He immediately explained, “Elizabeth, I just want to talk about these years. So you don’t feel like you’ve been the only one giving for the past seven years.”

Elizabeth retorted, “But from what you’ve shown me, it really has been just me giving for the past seven years!”

Alexander was silent.

Elizabeth then questioned, “You said I was too young in high school. How do you explain college?”

“When I was a freshman in college, I clung to you; you didn’t reject me, but you never responded to me either.”

“When I declared in front of the whole school that I liked you and would marry no one but you, what did you do!” Elizabeth questioned him repeatedly. She didn’t want to talk about the past with Alexander because it only made her sad.

“Do you know what my classmates said about me back then? They said I was like your pet. You could call me whenever you wanted and dismiss me just as easily!” Elizabeth was even a bit choked up.

She picked up the glass and drank it all in one go. As she put the glass down, she continued to express her grievances, “Now that I think about it, I really was like your pet! How could I have been so smug back then, feeling satisfied when people talked about us together?”

She looked at him and asked, “Alexander, you say you liked me in high school, but you never protected me once. Is that how you like me? Or are you just trying to trick me with sweet words?”

Alexander immediately shook his head. “Elizabeth, I swear to you, I’m not trying to deceive you.” He swallowed hard, visibly nervous. “Every word I said is true. If I’m lying, may I be hit by a car when I step outside!”

Elizabeth turned her head to the side, playing with the glass in her hands. She wouldn’t believe anything Alexander said anymore.
