Elizabeth crossed her arms and looked up at Alexander. โI know. Thanks, I appreciate it. Iโll treat you to dinner sometime.โ
Alexander sighed. โTreat me to dinner? Thatโs so formal.โ
โItโs the right thing to do,โ Elizabeth lowered her head and added, โI really appreciate you coming today.โ
โElizabeth, this is what I should be doing,โ he said calmly.
Elizabeth looked at him and said, โAlexander, thereโs nothing that anyone is obligated to do.โ
โI have to be good to you; itโs something I must do. Elizabeth, I owe you,โ Alexander said with a complex expression.
โSo, do you love me because you feel you owe me?โ Elizabeth looked into Alexanderโs eyes, her gaze intense.
โIโve told you, I liked you since high school. It has nothing to do with owing you,โ Alexander explained.
โElizabeth, I love you for who you are, for your personality. Not because you saved me, understand?โ Alexander frowned, his tone argent.
Elizabeth sighed. โBut Alexander, the reason you love me is because I saved you.โ
โIf the person who saved him had been Esmeโฆโ
โWould this scene even be happening now?โ
In any case, this matter had come full circle, and someone had to let it go.
Elizabeth didnโt want to argue with Alexander; after all, she was genuinely grateful to him once she calmed down. The surroundings were quiet, except for the bustling police station.
Alexander lowered his head and softened his tone. โElizabeth, itโs Christmas today. Can we not argue?โ
Elizabeth had no intention of arguing with him. Itโs just that every time they talked about love, they always had some disagreements.
โI was planning to spend Christmas with you today, but I didnโt expect you to come to this place,โ Alexander sighed, feeling a bit frustrated. He had prepared so many gifts at home for Elizabeth. In the end, she wasnโt even home.
Elizabeth thought about the three-month agreement she had signed with Alexander. Given the situation, she decided to let it go and not target him anymore.
She rarely responded so good-naturedly, โDid you buy me a gift?โ
โI did,โ Alexander looked at her frankly. โI wish I could give you all the gifts I owe you from these years at once.โ
