Chapter 91

The Perry family's yard was packed with flowers; Lila had practically bought every rose in Lishun for Elizabeth. Elizabeth stood on the balcony, gazing at the roses, lost in thought. With a friend like this, who needs a…

“What’s all this?” Declan, just home from work, looked confused. “Got a new admirer? Well, someone’s keen!”

“Don’t let some guy fool you with a yard full of roses!” Declan warned Elizabeth, looking up.

Elizabeth gave a sad smile. Her phone rang suddenly. She turned and leaned against the railing; it was Alexander calling. Elizabeth hesitated a moment before answering. She put the phone to her ear, her tone cold and distant. “Mr. Tudor.”

“Come out. I’m at your door.” His voice was clear and commanding.

Elizabeth panicked. What? She quickly looked outside. Beyond the roses, she saw a silver-gray supercar parked under a tree. What for? she wondered. Alexander rarely came to the Percy house. Why so often lately?

“Esme was unreasonable and upset you today. I’m here to apologize for her.” His voice was deep and somber.

Elizabeth lowered her eyes, her heart skipping a beat. She never expected Alexander to apologize to her for Esme. After all, he was the man in control of the entire economy of Lishun. He never bowed to anyone, but he would for Esme.

Elizabeth sighed. “No need, I’m not angry.”

Alexander was silent for a moment, then said bitterly, “You’re not angry?”

Elizabeth softly responded. She used to get angry because she loved Alexander. Now that she no longer loved him and wasn’t his wife, what was there to be angry about? Besides, Lila had already bought her a yard full of roses to cheer her up. Actually, she was easy to cheer up.

Elizabeth said, “You should go back and rest early.”

She hung up. In the call log, she suddenly saw Joseph’s name. It was a call that lasted nearly two minutes. How come she had no memory of talking to Joseph? She checked the time and was stunned. It was the early morning? Then who answered it? A bold idea popped into Elizabeth’s mind. Could it be that Alexander took that call?

At that moment, she heard someone downstairs say, “Elizabeth, come down!”

It was Declan, sounding very irritable. Elizabeth responded and hurried downstairs. But as soon as they reached the entrance, she saw who was at the door.

Her breath hitched. Was Alexander crazy? Why did he come? Declan frowned, blocking Alexander at the door. Alexander, in a white shirt and black suit pants, stood straight at the door, holding a black box.

In Elizabeth’s memory, this was the third time Alexander had come to the house. The first time, she had dragged him here to introduce him to her parents, saying she’d marry no one but him. The second time, he had fallen for Esme and came to break off the engagement. That day, the Percy family fell into darkness, but he left without looking back. This was the third time. For what? To apologize for Esme.

Elizabeth stood still, looking at Alexander with indescribable bitterness. This feeling was unpleasant.

“Your ex-husband is here to see you!” Declan said angrily.

Alexander wasn’t surprised by Declan’s attitude. After all, Elizabeth had hurt Declan the most to marry him, and he, in turn, had hurt Declan’s beloved daughter, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth pressed her lips together. Since Alexander had already come to her house, she couldn’t avoid him any longer. She walked up to Alexander, ready to go out with him.
