Chapter 898

“It’s funny, isn’t it? After she married you, she cut off all contact with us. When her mom and I miss her, we just wait for her here.” Declan felt a bit uncomfortable as he said these words. He had to wait in a store just to see his daughter. Wasn’t that funny? Alexander’s eyes were filled with guilt.

“Tell me, isn’t it foolish for a woman to break ties with her family for a man at any cost?” Declan suddenly threw the question at Alexander. Alexander had no answer.

You can answer honestly. If it were me, I’d be annoyed. First, I don’t like her, and second, I feel pressured by her actions. What about you? Declan was definitely direct. Alexander could only follow quietly, “Actually, I was willing to marry her at first.”

“Really? Elizabeth told me that you did want to marry her at first; you were just settling. You thought anyone would do. After your divorce, she got drunk one night and cried to me, saying you never liked her, it was always one-sided.” Declan sighed deeply. The supermarket lights were bright as the two walked slowly.

Declan said, “Do you know what it’s like as a father to hear your daughter say these things and feel powerless?”

“It’s like having a needle pierce your heart, and all you can do is watch your daughter cry!” Declan was in pain. Declan had spoiled Elizabeth since she was little. Declan just hoped his daughter would be cherished and not be easily deceived by man’s sweet words. And now, Alexander didn’t even deceive her. He didn’t even need to lift a finger, and Elizabeth followed him.

Alexander felt guilty, “It’s my fault. I failed Elizabeth and betrayed your trust in me.”

“If I could start over, I would choose Elizabeth again.” Alexander said calmly, “Elizabeth said I never loved her, but she was wrong. I liked her from the beginning.”

“Save those words for Elizabeth. Don’t bother saying them to me.” Declan waved his hand, not believing Alexander’s claim of liking Elizabeth from the start. Men could be very stubborn, ten times more so than women. When a man truly liked a woman, he only wanted to marry her for life!

But when a man was indecisive, he would have countless excuses! So when you asked a man a question and he didn’t answer immediately, it meant he was judging, hesitating, and thinking of how to brush it off!

“I’m serious. Elizabeth and I knew each other since high school, you know that.” Alexander explained. Declan just smiled.

Alexander continued, “The reason I couldn’t live well with Elizabeth was because I was kidnapped back then. Elizabeth saved me, but Esme took her place.”

“I mistook Esme for Elizabeth and gave all the love meant for Elizabeth to Esme.” Declan stopped walking. He looked at Alexander, his tone heavy, “But Alexander, if it wasn’t Elizabeth who saved you in the end, wouldn’t you still have let her down? So the prerequisite for you to like her is that she saved you.” Alexander was once again left speechless by this statement. It wasn’t the first time he had heard it. It was a statement he could never refute.

“Let me ask you a question.” Declan looked at Alexander, suddenly thinking of something. Alexander just nodded, signaling Declan to go ahead.

“Before you knew Elizabeth saved you, when she asked for a divorce, did you ever think about not divorcing her?”
