Chapter 538
The vibe in the car was kinda weird. Elizabeth stared out the window not saying a word, while Alexander drove at a snail’s pace. She shot him a look and sighed. “At this rate, I’m gonna be late.”
Alexander glanced over, nodded, and barely pressed the gas a bit more. Elizabeth folded her arms, glaring at him. “Do you have something to say?”
He nodded. “Yeah.” She frowned, waiting for him to spill.
“I…” He hesitated, words stuck in his throat.
Elizabeth had never seen him like this before. It was a feeling she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
She’d always respected him, even after the divorce, even when they became strangers. She wanted Alexander to always be true to
himself.
“There’s nothing left to say between us. Over the past three years, we’ve seen each other for who we really are. You’re not the right person for me, and I made a mistake.” Elizabeth broke the silence.
Alexander looked at her. She was staring right back. He let out a helpless laugh, while she kept her gaze steady, her voice calm. “And I’m not the right person for you either.”
She didn’t know who would be right for Alexander. But she knew for sure, it wasn’t her.
“Alexander,” she said, “We’re both adults. Stop being selfish and stubborn.” There was no anger in her voice, just seriousness. “Don’t contact me anymore. I’m serious.”
Alexander’s car came to a stop. They locked eyes. His gaze was intense, like he was trying to see if she really meant it. Elizabeth didn’t flinch; she was calm.
Alexander couldn’t believe how little he meant to her now, for her to say something like that. She used to love him so much. And now, she could calmly tell him not to contact her anymore.
He shook his head slightly. He had to be honest; he couldn’t do it.
“Elizabeth, there are too many misunderstandings between us. The reason we ended up like this is all because of misunderstandings. I can’t let you go.” His voice was heavy. “I hope you can give me a chance, whether to make it up to you or to make myself feel a bit better. Don’t push me away.” He looked into her eyes, his gaze serious. “Okay?”
Elizabeth lowered her head. His words left her unmoved.
Alexander was at a loss for words. He was always strong–willed, just didn’t know how to express his thoughts.
“Are you done?” Elizabeth checked the time. She needed to get to work. Alexander felt a deep pain in his heart.
Elizabeth was right there in the passenger seat, close enough to smell her perfume. They were so close, yet it felt like a vast chasm separated them.
Is this really the end?’ Alexander wondered.
Elizabeth’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up–it was Rose.
