Chapter 893
Elizabeth paused. The elevator doors opened, and she looked at Alexander for a moment. He thanked her. So unfamiliar. It was strange; she should accept this unfamiliarity. But for some reason, she didn’t want Alexander to be polite with her.
Elizabeth walked ahead, and Alexander quietly followed. Elizabeth asked him, “Can you still drive with your hand like that?” He raised his hand and instinctively said, “Yes, it’s no big deal.” Elizabeth squinted. No big deal?
Alexander only realized after he exited the elevator that, with his hand like this, how could he drive Elizabeth? “Elizabeth,” Alexander called to her, “I’ll call a driver.”
“Then what’s the point for both of us? Why don’t I just take a cab back? That way, you won’t have to go through the trouble.”
“How would it be trouble for me?” Alexander didn’t think it was trouble at all. Being able to spend time with Elizabeth, even for a second, made him very happy.
As soon as they reached the hospital lobby, Elizabeth ran into an acquaintance. “Elizabeth?”
Elizabeth stopped, somewhat dazed, not recognizing who it was. “I’m Delbert Loomis, we were in the same class in college, don’t you remember?”
Elizabeth paused, not remembering, but she seemed to have a vague impression. Delbert knew Elizabeth couldn’t remember him. “I used to date Esme, does that ring a bell?” Delbert said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Elizabeth was taken aback, then looked at Delbert. When Delbert said that, Elizabeth immediately remembered. “Esme’s first boyfriend in freshman year, right?” Elizabeth asked. Delbert nodded.
Delbert didn’t have much money back then, and Esme was a socialite. So many people criticized him. The one who criticized him the most was Elizabeth. Elizabeth felt awkward. She felt quite sorry for Delbert. Actually, Delbert was quite good to Esme back then. But she always felt Delbert wasn’t sincere.
“I was wrong,” Elizabeth joked. Delbert immediately said, “It’s all in the past. After all, our family backgrounds didn’t match.”
Delbert then noticed Alexander standing behind Elizabeth. He said, “You and Mr. Tudor?” “We’re here to visit a family elder,” Elizabeth smiled.
Delbert then asked, “Are you two getting back together? There have been a lot of people saying you might be.” Elizabeth was annoyed. What rumors were spreading nonsense again? They weren’t getting back together.
Elizabeth explained, “No. We’re just here to visit an elder.” Delbert said, “I see. We’re having a class reunion early next month, are you coming?”
“I’m not going,” Elizabeth immediately refused. She barely remembered Delbert, let alone the other classmates. Why would she go, just to be chased around with questions like, “Did you and Alexander get divorced?” “Are you planning to get back together with Alexander?” She didn’t want to be a joke.
Delbert said, “Come on. Back then, so many people in our class liked you. Several guys are still single and a good match for you; they’re all quite successful now!”
Alexander immediately coughed upon hearing this. Alexander was still standing there. ‘Mr. Tudor. We’re just chatting casually among classmates!” Delbert explained.
Alexander said, “She has work to do. Do you have anything else? If not, we’ll be going.” Delbert was still a bit reluctant. Class reunions were more fun with more people, after all.
