Unrepairable Love

Chapter 875

Elizabeth freshened up and tied her hair back. She quickly went downstairs.

In the living room, Alexander was sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, playing video games. An aroma diffuser sat on the table, alongside lots of fruit on the coffee table and two takeout bags. Morning light streamed in through the large floor-to-ceiling window, casting a glow on Alexander.

Elizabeth felt a bit dazed, as if she had gone back many years to when Alexander was a teenager. His profile was still as handsome as ever, unchanged over the years. His hand was still swollen, indicating he had taken quite a fall the previous night.

Elizabeth snapped out of her thoughts, slowly descended the stairs, and couldn’t help but say, “So leisurely.”

“You’re awake,” he said lazily.

Elizabeth nodded and said, “Sorry for the trouble last night. I’ll be heading back now.”

“Why the rush?” He looked up at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked at him. “Otherwise? Am I supposed to stay here with you?”

“Not that it’s impossible,” he smiled.

Elizabeth snorted; he was dreaming.

“Elizabeth, how about having breakfast before you go?” Alexander asked.

Elizabeth shook her head.

“I bought the pizza you wanted,” he said.

Elizabeth was stunned. What? She finally looked at Alexander. He pointed to the two takeout bags on the coffee table.

“I just bought it; it’s still hot. I waited in line for a long time, don’t you want to try it?”

Elizabeth was stunned. How did Alexander know she wanted pizza? You… Elizabeth bit her lip.

Alexander smiled, recalling how cute Elizabeth looked last night. He sighed and said, “You must have been really tired last night; you kept saying you wanted pizza in your sleep.”

Elizabeth had only thought about pizza. Did she actually say it aloud? Given that, she definitely couldn’t eat the pizza now.

“So I bought it for you,” Alexander said, opening the takeout bags. The aroma of crab and cheese immediately filled the living room. Elizabeth’s stomach embarrassingly growled.

Alexander asked, “Not eating?” She really wanted to say she didn’t want to eat, but she couldn’t move.

“I waited in line for about three hours,” Alexander said seriously, looking at her. If Elizabeth didn’t eat, it would really hurt his pride. Besides, waking up to find the food she wanted right in front of her—wasn’t that something to be happy about? Why not eat?

Elizabeth swallowed and gave in. She came to the coffee table and sat down. Alexander was in a good mood. He continued playing his game while Elizabeth quietly played on her phone and ate. When Alexander picked up his cup to drink water, he even felt a bit dazed. Days like this should have been an everyday occurrence, a luxury. But now, it had become…

Elizabeth wiped her mouth and propped her face on her hand. She didn’t eat quickly; when she was happy eating, she would want to talk, but seeing him sitting across from her, she closed her mouth. Alexander couldn’t help but feel a blow to his self-esteem. She didn’t even want to share; the way she suddenly closed her mouth was really hurtful.

“Tasty?” Alexander asked.

Elizabeth nodded and pushed the food towards him. “You didn’t eat?”

He didn’t like it.

“Want to try?” Elizabeth asked again.

Alexander looked at her for a while. Just as he was about to say yes, Elizabeth took it back. “Nevermind, you don’t want it.”

Alexander frowned; he hadn’t even answered yet.
