Unrepairable Love
Chapter 490
Nolan let out a deep sigh and told the driver to step on it, faster and faster.
Only after Alexander pulled his hand back did the car window finally close.
The car warmed up a bit, but Alexander’s heart was still ice–cold, spreading through him like a chill he couldn’t shake.
From dodging the truth to now drowning in regret, Alexander realized he’d messed up big time with Elizabeth over the past three
years.
Staring out the window, his bloodshot eyes and silence screamed his guilt.
He couldn’t even picture what life would’ve been like if he’d actually married Esme, the woman who’d played him for three years!
Elizabeth was the one who saved him; she deserved all his thanks. Tinking about it, Alexander’s fists clenched tight.
After what felt like forever, they finally pulled up at the airport.
The taxis outside were hard to miss. People were rushing around with their luggage and umbrellas, some hopping into cars in the rain, some hugging, and some quietly wiping away tears.
Alexander jumped out of the car, not even giving Nolan a chance to hold an umbrella for him. He was already soaked and didn’t care about looking even more bedraggled.
Nolan trailed right behind him. The airport in Lisbun was huge, and after security, it was a long trek to the gate.
Nolan had everything set up and went through security with Alexander.
People in the airport slowed down, and no one was in as much of a hurry as Alexander. A few folks gave him curious looks.
“Is that Alexander?” someone finally asked.
“Looks like him, but Alexander wouldn’t look this rough, right? His clothes are drenched,” another
person
said.
“Yeah, Alexander usually looks so put–together,” someone else chimed in.
They shared a few smiles and quickly moved past Alexander, going on their way.
After security, standing in the vast airport, Alexander felt lost for the first time.
“I’ll be fine, you worry too much,” Elizabeth said, looking at Rose in the video, feeling a bit emotional.
Elizabeth had left home again. But this time was different; she was leaving to become a better version of herself.
She wore a white sweater with a gray trench coat, looking elegant and capable.
In the video, Rose was quiet for a long time before finally letting out a “hmph.”
Elizabeth smiled. “Mom, I’ll keep in touch. I’ll fly back to see you as soon as I get a break, okay?”
“Okay, Rose finally responded.
Elizabeth chuckled. “Has Grandma come home yet? It’s pouring today.”

“Your grandma’s
ll at the research institute but called to say she’s on her way. She caught a bit of a cold from the rain and asked your grandpa to make her some soup,” Rose replied.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, “Did Grandpa fall asleep again, and Grandma couldn’t reach him, so she called you?”
“Yep!” Rose nodded. “When’s your flight? If it’s delayed, maybe you should come back and reschedule?”
“No need. I checked the weather; the rain should stop soon. Once it does, the flight can take off as planned.” Elizabeth glanced at
the time.
There were still thirty minutes left, and there should be an update soon. But there was no sign of boarding yet, so it might be
delayed.
“Let’s leave it at that for now,” Rose said, sounding a bit tired.
Elizabeth nodded. “Okay.”
The video call ended.
Elizabeth lowered her head, about to feel sad, when a cup of hot coffee was suddenly handed to her. She looked up and raised an eyebrow at Ivan. “Where’s Felix?”
“He saw a pretty girl and went to chat her up,” he said.
Elizabeth let out a cold laugh. Felix wasn’t that kind of guy; he was definitely chased away by Ivan.
