Chapter 537

Rase grabbed Elizabeth just as she was about to head out to the research institute.

Elizabeth, munching on her breakfast, looked puzzled. “What’s up?

“Let’s chat,” Rose said, pulling her over to the couch.

Declan walked in from the backyard, wiped his hands, and sat down across from Elizabeth. “Celine used to lock herself in that lab all the time. You can’t do that,” Declan said.

“We’re just saying, work can’t be done in a day. You need to balance work and rest. Set some working hours,” Rose suggested.

They heard Elizabeth came back around four in the morning last night. And now, just after nine, she was about to head out again. How could her body handle that?

Elizabeth realized they were worried about her health. She nodded and said, “Thanks, Mom and Dad. From now on, I’ll work from nine to nine, twelve hours a day. Is that okay?”

Rose and Declan exchanged a glance and shook their heads. “No way!

Elizabeth asked, “Then, nine to six?”

Hearing this, Rose and Declan exchanged another glance, ready to refuse again.

Elizabeth quickly added, “It can’t be any shorter.” The pressure in the lab was immense; with just a few hours there, she wouldn’t get anything done.

Rose and Declan thought for a moment and finally agreed, “Be very careful on your way to and from work.” If anything else happened, they really couldn’t take it.

“Got it, Mom. I’m fine. You both take care! It’s getting colder, and if it snows this winter, make sure you don’t catch a cold. You know how it is with getting older.” Elizabeth chuckled.

Rose and Declan’s faces immediately turned serious. They were as fit as ever!

Elizabeth waved and went out. She planned to take the bus to the research institute to get a sense of everyone’s current economic

conditions.

Elizabeth had just stepped out of the house when she saw a black Maybach parked outside.

The car window rolled down, and Elizabeth saw Alexander’s face. He seemed to have not rested well; his face was pale, and his eyes

looked tired.

Elizabeth ignored him and headed straight for the bus stop. Alexander honked the horn, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the

car. He blocked Elizabeth’s path.

Elizabeth looked at him, her eyes devoid of emotion. Alexander was dressed in a black suit, looking very formal. He also sized up Elizabeth. She was wearing a dress and a trench coat, looking very casual.

Alexander lowered his head, as if wanting to say something but not knowing how to start. With Elizabeth, he might really have no way to hold his head up.

But to seek Elizabeth’s forgiveness, he had to be a bit shameless. “I’ll take you to work,” he said.

Chapter 537

Elizabeth could hear a lack of confidence in his voice. This was not something

Xander

would usually say.

“How could I trouble you, Mr. Tudor? I don’t need a ride; the bus will be here soon.” Elizabeth pointed to the bus stop ahead, effectively rejecting Alexander.

Alexander was silent for two seconds and said, “Come on, I’m already here.” Elizabeth shook her head.

Alexander stared at her and directly grabbed Elizabeth’s wrist, pulling her toward the car.

“I said I don’t need it!” Elizabeth said, annoyed.

Alexander opened the car door and gestured for Elizabeth to get in.

If it were the old Alexander, he would have let Elizabeth do as she pleased. But for the current Alexander, if she didn’t get in the car, he would still force her in.
