Unrepairable Love
Chapter 536
Alexander trudged upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and took in the lonely room with a mix of emotions.
Honestly, ever since Elizabeth moved out, he barely set foot in here le’d been crashing in the room across the hall. Seeing this room again, it felt so cold and empty.
It wasn’t like this when Elizabeth was around. The place always felt ozy, even a simple bouquet on the coffee table made it feel like home. But now, everything seemed dull and lifeless.
He remembered the first day Elizabeth showed up at the villa, how she was so cautious, her cheeks all flushed. Back then, Elizabeth never imagined her marriage would turn into something she couldn‘ even talk about.
Alexander’s fingers lightly brushed the pillow on the bed. They had shared this bed much; it was mostly Elizabeth alone.
She’d be so happy to see him, but every time he came, it was just to criticize her for hurting Esme. Thinking about all the times he got mad and all the times she tried to explain, he felt like such an idiot.
Everyone said Alexander was smart and sharp, a real boss at work. But when it came to marriage and feelings, he was a total mess.
Alexander flopped onto the sofa. Watching the clock on the wall tick away, time just seemed to slip through his fingers.
If he could, he’d go back to high school in a heartbeat. He’d still go to Elizabeth after a fight, let her patch him up, and listen to her lecture him over and over. But he still wouldn’t listen; he’d keep fighting, just to get closer to her a few more times.
After getting into college, he’d wait patiently for Elizabeth to get in too. He’d be good only to her. But those were all “what ifs.” Time didn’t turn back.
Alexander let out a bitter laugh. Ivan sent a message: [I got Elizabeth home safe.]
Alexander looked at the message, fuming. He didn’t reply, just lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.
The phone buzzed again.
Ivan: [Alexander, you really have no chance.]
Alexander squinted, still not replying.
Ivan: [You’re really pathetic. Elizabeth used to be all about you, but now when she talks about you, it’s only with hate. What did you
do?]
Ivan: [Alexander, you really don’t know how to cherish her.]
Losing someone like Elizabeth, Alexander knew he messed up big time. He finally sent one sentence back.
Alexander: [Anything is possible.]
Ivan: [Don’t get your hopes up.]
Alexander: [What happens between Elizabeth and me is none of your business.]
Ivan: [I’m just telling you, you really have no chance.]
Alexander was already on edge. Ivan’s constant reminders that he had no chance were driving him nuts.

Chapter 536
Elizabeth hadn’t forgiven him yet, but he was determined to make ip to her and apologize. As long as she accepted his apology, he could try to win her back. If he kept at it, he believed they’d reconcile one day.
Hate comes from love, right? Alexander thought. But then again, what is love?‘
