Chapter 614
Elizabeth walked out of the research institute, chatting animatedly with her assistant about the day’s data. Suddenly, the assistant stopped talking.
When Elizabeth turned her head, she saw Alexander standing by the car, which was wearing a black coat, and his black leather shoes were spotless.
Alexander was tall and suited this outfit well. He exuded a lazy elegance mixed with an indescribable calmness.
The assistant nodded to Elizabeth and then turned to leave. Elizabeth was about to call her back when Alexander spoke first, “Elizabeth.”
Elizabeth sighed, looking at Alexander with a furrowed brow.
She thought, Why was he here again?‘
Recently, Alexander had been coming to the among her colleagues.
e
So frequently to see Elizabeth that she had become a topic of conversation
“Mr. Tudor, are you really that free? Isn’t your company busy? No meetings to attend? No business trips?” Elizabeth was genuinely puzzled.
Wasn’t Alexander always busy before? Whenever she looked for him, he was always
occupied.
Now, he seemed to have nothing to do but follow her around, and she couldn’t shake him off, which was incredibly annoying.
“No. But with the year–end approaching, it will get a bit busier,” Alexander said seriously, looking at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth’s face remained indifferent.
His serious response made her seem a bit harsh.
Couldn’t he hear the sarcasm in her words?
Alexander opened the passenger door and took out a bouquet of red roses from the car. There were ninety–nine of them. “Elizabeth, these are for you,” he said, handing the bouquet to Elizabeth.
Colleagues leaving the institute glanced over, all shocked. The bouquet was fresh and beautiful, looking especially romantic in the night.
Elizabeth stared at the roses in Alexander’s arms, feeling a pang in her heart.
What was this supposed to mean?
There was a time when Elizabeth had longed for Alexander to give her a bouquet, even if it was one that someone else didn’t want. As long as he gave it to her, she would have been happy. And she had even felt deeply hurt because he never gave her flowers.
But now, even with such a beautiful bouquet in his arms, her heart couldn’t beat for him anymore.
Elizabeth looked up at Alexander.
Alexander still looked the same as before, except he had gone from ever loving her to loving her.
But she couldn’t fall in love with him again.

Now, with him standing in front of her holding flowers, all she could think about was how he had disrespected and humiliated her in the past.
She shook her head. “I don’t want them.”
“Is it that you don’t want the flowers, or you don’t want flowers from me?” Alexander asked.
Elizabeth looked into his eyes, sensing his sadness.
She had once told herself, “This is Alexander, who is always so proud. And he has knelt for me, has begged for forgiveness. I should forgive him. After all, I love Alexander so much and have so hoped that he would love me too, right?‘
But she couldn’t convince herself. She just felt that Alexander deserved it.
And on top of that, she felt even more hatred towards Esme.
If it weren’t for Esme, none of this would have happened.
Elizabeth looked at him and said seriously, “I don’t want flowers from you.”
“Then, Elizabeth, what would it take for you to accept my flowers?” Alexander took a step forward.
The wind tonight was gentle, and so was his tone.
Elizabeth shook her head. “Never.”
Alexander was a smart man.
(I highly recommend a captivating book that I couldn’t put down for three days and nights. It’s incredibly engaging and a must- read. The title of the book is “Breakup to Bliss” You can find it by searching for it in the search bar.
Here is the synopsis of the book:
Do you know what true despair feels like? Let me tell you.
At my engagement party, a fire broke out. My fiancé heroically dashed into the flames. But he wasn’t coming to save me–he was saving another woman.
In that moment, my world shattered.)
