Unrepairable Love
Chapter 449
“What’s up?” Elizabeth asked Alexander.
Alexander wanted to chat with Elizabeth about what she was going to say last night, but with Esme around, it wasn’t the best time.
He had planned to give Elizabeth that necklace, but now it was hanging around Esme’s neck.
A flicker of annoyance crossed Alexander’s face.
He was really frustrated. He could handle work like a pro, but when it came to feelings and marriage, it was a total mess.
Elizabeth’s phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the screen; it was an unknown number.
Elizabeth turned away to take the call.
As she listened, she said, “Yeah, it’s me.”
“I told you, no need to be so formal.”
“Seriously, it’s fine. I have plans tonight; there’s a party I need to go to. We’ll catch up another time.”
“Okay, talk later.” Elizabeth hung up.
She checked the time; it was almost 4 PM.
Elizabeth looked at Alexander and Esme, realizing there was no way they could talk today.
It was her fault. They had agreed to meet at eleven, but she was late.
“See you.” With that, Elizabeth left without looking back.
Alexander took a step forward, wanting to see her off.
Esme suddenly pretended to twist her ankle and fell into Alexander’s arms. “Oh, Alexander.”
She just wanted to keep him there, and it worked.
Elizabeth glanced back and saw Alexander helping Esme to the sofa,
She couldn’t quite describe what she felt. But it wasn’t the same heartache as before.
In the past, seeing them act all cozy would hurt her, but now it was just a pang of bitterness, and then nothing.
Elizabeth walked out of the villa. She took a long look at it and let out a bitter laugh.
She probably wouldn’t be coming back again.
Elizabeth quickly got into her car.
She needed to change into her dress and get ready for the party.
Chapter 449
Alexander watched the car disappear, his expression growing more complicated.
“Why are you wearing that necklace? I never said I was giving it to you.” Alexander’s tone had a hint of reproach.
He had left it on the coffee table because he knew Elizabeth was coming over, but he had an urgent meeting.
He thought Elizabeth would understand.
But he didn’t expect Esme to put it on herself.
“Then who were you planning to give it to? Elizabeth?” Esme looked up at Alexander.
She had guessed the necklace was meant for Elizabeth.
Because Elizabeth liked butterflies, and this was a butterfly necklace, she decided to use it to deliberately annoy her.
Look, the butterfly necklace Elizabeth loved the most ended up being hers.
She wanted Elizabeth to know that she was the one who lost.
“Esme, I don’t like you touching my things without asking.” Alexander’s voice was cold
as he stood
- up.
Esme watched his back, her eyes dark. “Alexander, you are my fiancé now.”
“Being your fiancé doesn’t mean you can touch my stuff whenever you want!” His tone was harsh, carrying an indescribable sense of authority that left Esme momentarily stunned.
Esme glared at Alexander, not speaking, just biting her lip. Meanwhile, her resolve that Elizabeth couldn’t stay alive grew stronger.
Esme thought, ‘Elizabeth must die! If I let her live, not only will my impersonation be exposed, but Alexander will eventually go to her willingly!‘
“Alexander, are you really ready to be with me?” Esme asked, her voice tinged with tears.
