Unrepairable Love
Chapter 522
Esme couldn’t quite put her finger on what she loved about Alexander. When she first met him, she couldn’t figure out why he was so cold to her. She just assumed that was his personality. But then, he day, she saw him smile at Elizabeth.
While everyone else was laughing at Elizabeth, he was the only one frowning and telling them to stop. That was when Esme realized Alexander wasn’t actually cold.
In college, Alexander and Elizabeth were practically inseparable. Sing Esme was good friends with Elizabeth, she naturally started hanging out with them. She watched Alexander every day and notice he only acted differently around Elizabeth.
Because she was Elizabeth’s friend, Alexander would sometimes look out for her too. One time, Esme was delivering something to Alexander for Elizabeth and got hit by a basketball. Alexander helped her out.
From that moment on, whenever Alexander was nice to Elizabeth, Esme felt a pang of jealousy. She wanted Alexander to be nice to her too. She couldn’t understand why only Elizabeth got that special treatment.
Whatever Elizabeth had, Esme wanted too. Slowly, because she couldn’t win Alexander over, Esme became desperate and eventually started impersonating Elizabeth. Was Esme’s love real? It was. Just not pure.
“Esme, I will hold you accountable for deceiving me,” Alexander said, his voice muffled but firm.
“Do you really have to do this? Do our three years mean nothing?” Esme asked, feeling disappointed.
Alexander looked into her eyes, his gaze darkening as he realized even her disappointment wasn’t genuine. Her sadness was nothing compared to when Elizabeth asked for a divorce.
“What do you want it to mean? Every second I think about it, I feel disgusted,” Alexander said, using the calmest tone to deliver the
harshest words.
Esme cried. “All the love you professed to me over the years, the sea you took me to see, the gifts you gave me–was it all just because I saved you?”
“Too bad, even your saving me was a lie. Do you think I wouldn’t feel disgusted?” Alexander let out a self–mocking laugh. He hated Esme, but he hated himself more. He had been too foolish.
“Alexander, after three years, and you still couldn’t fall for me?” Esme asked. She truly couldn’t understand. ‘What am I lacking? In looks, in family, I am no worse than Elizabeth! Why? Why exactly?‘
Alexander was annoyed by her questioning, losing his patience and saying, “Get out of my hospital room.” If she had any sense of shame, she wouldn’t come to see him again.
“Alexander.” Esme called his name, the sense of helplessness was palpable. She just wanted to try to fight for herself one more time. Even if Alexander said he loved her for just a moment, she would be satisfied.
“Did you not love me at all?” Esme was truly heartbroken.
Footsteps were heard outside the door, accompanied by Elara’s complaining voice. “Why is the hospital room door still open so
late?
As soon as Elara came in, she saw Esme standing by the bed. The two looked at each other, both stunned for a moment.
Elara was only stunned for a moment before her face turned cold, and she questioned, “Esme, how dare you come to see Alexander?”
Esme lowered her head and said, “There are just some things I don’t understand!”
