Chapter 892

Elizabeth pursed her lips. After all, Alexander’s hand was injured because of her. If his hand really couldn’t exert force, it wouldn’t be a big deal for her to take care of Alexander. He could have just said so. Why did he have to put on an act with Elara?

“How can I just let you drink some water? It’s no problem, I can make a few more trips! It’s fine, really,” Elara said with exaggerated acting.

Elizabeth was even more certain. Yes, they were putting on a show for her!

Just as Lily was about to chime in and help, Elizabeth raised her hand to interrupt.

“Alright, I’ll take care of you,” Elizabeth said, her gaze falling on Alexander with a look of disdain.

Alexander was about to come clean, but when he heard Elizabeth’s words, he swallowed what he was about to say.

“Is this really okay? Is it convenient?” Elara asked, half-pleased, half-inquiring.

Elizabeth replied, “Not really.”

Elara said, “Then maybe we should just…” The words “forget it” never came out.

Elizabeth was even more certain that this was a trap. But she was willing to jump into it.

“Alright, I’ll do it,” Elizabeth smiled, not very concerned.

Elara immediately stopped acting and agreed directly. She didn’t forget to praise, “See, it has to be you, Elizabeth. You’re more attentive.”

“Elizabeth, with you taking care of Alexander, I’m much more at ease. After all, you’ve been with him for so long, you know his tastes.”

Elizabeth looked at Alexander and smiled, “Not really. We’ve been together for so many years and never had a meal together.” Every time they were about to eat, Alexander was called away. The memories came flooding back. He felt even more ashamed.

“But I still know what he likes to eat,” Elizabeth added. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Elizabeth added, “But I’m usually quite busy. I can’t handle breakfast. We can have dinner together, is that okay?”

Alexander nodded immediately. Being able to have dinner with Elizabeth in the evening was already very satisfying for him.

“Okay,” Elizabeth nodded.

After sitting for a while longer, Elizabeth received a phone call. She needed to go to the research institute. There were still things waiting for her to discuss over there.

Alexander saw Elizabeth off. While they were waiting for the elevator, Elizabeth thought of Aubrey. “If you have nothing else to do, go check on Aubrey during the day.”

Whatever Elizabeth instructed him to do, he would do. Alexander smiled, “Okay.”

Elizabeth nodded and entered the elevator. The elevator was crowded, and Elizabeth was pushed to the back. Alexander stood in front of her. He didn’t even realize that his supposedly injured hand was propped against the elevator wall, completely exposed.

Elizabeth looked up and met Alexander’s gaze. She had to admit, Alexander had become much more considerate than before. Having a man in the elevator shielding her from everything felt quite warm. Elizabeth lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

“Elizabeth, thank you.”

Perhaps she had already seen through his little schemes. But she still agreed. Wasn’t this her giving him a chance?
