Unrepairable Love
Chapter 46
Their reflections mingled in the elevator doors. Elizabeth looked at him, remembering what he had said to Elara.
Elizabeth’s efforts have moved me, but being moved isn’t love!
“Mom, seriously, stop pushing. I don’t love Elizabeth, and I can’t keep this marriage going!”
He’d told her and everyone else a million times that he didn’t love her. But she still married him without a second thought. Elizabeth dropped her head, exhausteel
Out of nowhere, Alexander said, ‘Elizabeth, I owe you an apology for these three years.”
Elizabeth turned to face him, their eyes locking. She forced a smile and said, “No need to apologize; I brought this on myself.”
She used to blame Alexander for not loving her and resented Esme for getting in the way. But after all the pain, she finally got it–it was her choice, and she couldn’t blame anyone else.
I’ll make it up to you,” he said.
A flicker of sarcasm crossed Elizabeth’s eyes. She didn’t care for Alexander’s attempts to make amends.
The elevator doors opened, and Elizabeth stepped in. Alexander tried to follow, but she blocked him. She looked up, gave a faint smile, and said softly, “No need, Mr. Tudor, this is where it ends.”
Alexander took a step back, his expression calm. Elizabeth gave a satisfied smile and pulled her hand away. The elevator doors closed slowly, and Alexander watched until she was out of sight.
Elizabeth bit her lip and took a deep breath. She decided there would be no more contact between her and Alexander.
As Elizabeth walked out of the hospital, she ran into Esme, who was strutting up in a pink dress, looking like a princess. Esme gave Elizabeth a once–over and asked, “Here to see Lily?*
“Do I need your permission?” Elizabeth shot back, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Esme scoffed. “What makes you so cocky? Once I give Lily the ginseng, she won’t think much of you anymore!”
“Oh, so the Russell family bought that ginseng the black market was buzzing about yesterday?” Elizabeth’s interest piqued.
“Obviously! The Russells always get what we want!” Esme lifted her chin, stepping closer to Elizabeth. “Ever heard of Hidden Camp?”
Elizabeth’s eyes narrowed. Hidden Camp? She knew it all too well.
“Hidden Camp? Never heard of it. I only keep tabs on Alexander,” Elizabeth said, blinking innocently.
Esme’s eyes filled with disdain. She didn’t doubt Elizabeth; she was always obsessed with Alexander.
“You’re so clueless, Elizabeth. You don’t even know about Hidden Camp? Glory M, the famous one, is my friend! He got me that ginseng!” Esme boasted, full of herself.
Elizabeth widened her eyes, hiding her sarcasm, and pretended to be impressed, “Wow, really? That’s amazing!“
How could she not know she had such a friend? But Esme didn’t seem to be lying. In a way, they were friends.

Axe mind the sarcasm in Ellabeth’s von Elizabeth, you’re coming to Lily’s birthday party, right?”
YON AT A up eveh, I might show you what the ginseng looks like.
Fested but didn’t say anything. Esme thought she was forcing a smile. She fixed her hair and clothes, bragging, “Families like
ses protably never see something as rare and precious as this ginseng
Eh narrowed her eyes. The Percy family might not be one of the top four, but they were still famous nationwide!
Well thanks in adoh tilted her head, her tone light. At Lily’s birthday, you have to show me that rare ginseng!”
Elizabeth’s tone had a hint of flattery, which made Esme feel very pleased with herself.
Don’t worry, we used to be best friends, remember? I’ll definitely let you see it!” Esme grinned arrogantly.
A cold glint flashed in Elizabeth’s eyes. Looked like she had to go to this birthday party!
