Chapter 723
Alexander was essentially gambling now, betting on whether Elizabeh would really be that heartless,
As long as she came tonight, it meant he still had hope.
Alexander sighed, rubbing his temples, already feeling very exhausted.
The recent company matters and Lily’s issues, all felt like a stone pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Alexander’s gaze fell on the a
the coffee table b
beside him, where was a jewelry box. And it was the gift he intended to give Elizabeth.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Alexander was a bit surprised, because the waiter had just refilled his drink, so logically, they wouldn’t come back again.
Could it be…?
Alexander quickly went to the door, opened it, and was about to call but that name when he heard the person outside say, “Mr. Tudor.”
Upon hearing that, all the hope in his eyes vanished instantly.
It wasn’t Elizabeth but the waiter.
The waiter said, “Mr. Tudor, we received a call from a lady named Elizabeth, who has a message for you.”
Alexander was puzzled.

“She said the research institute is very busy, she won’t be coming, and hopes Mr. Tudor takes good care of his health and goes back to rest early, the waiter repeated Elizabeth’s message from the call,
Alexander’s face turned grim.
She even had the waiter relay this message to him. Was she afraid the waiter wouldn’t know he was waiting for her, and got
rejected?
Alexander, feeling annoyed, slammed the door shut.
He picked up his phone to call Elizabeth, only to find that her number had been blocked.
This was yet another time Elizabeth had blocked his number.
Alexander was so frustrated he wanted to o smash his phone!
He had never known before that pursuing a woman could be so complicated and troublesome!
His entire first half of li
half of life had been others pursuing him, willing to die for him.
When did it become his turn to be willing to die for someone else? low absurd it was!
Alexander slumped onto the sofa, looking at the bustling city outside the window, but no matter what, the world seemed bleak.
Ever since he and Elizabeth divorced, the troubles around him had only increased.

Chapter 723
Life had also be
more and more exhausting.
Alexander sighed, picked up the water glass on the coffee table, and drank it all in one go.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, looked at the screenshot Lila had sent her on her phone, her expression even more complicated.
Alexander didn’t write a single word on that Facebook post, but she felt it contained a thousand words.
She had blocked Alexander, so she couldn’t see his Facebook.
Others didn’t know, but she did know that Alexander was someone who posted on Facebook only once every three years.
Alexander genuinely wanted to see Elizabeth and have a good talk with her.
So, he stayed all night, waiting for her.
Elizabeth was truly heartless that she didn’t come all night.
Alexander watched as the sky brightened. The room remained occupied by him alone.
At first, there were waiters asking if he needed a refill, but later, only the air kept him company.
As dawn approached,
the city lights went out. The no longer bustling Lisbun had an indescribable sense of loneliness.
Alexander saw his own shadow in the city.
Nolan messaged him several times, asking if he had seen Eliza
Elizabeth.
Perhaps he had other questions too, like whether it was a bit rash to cancel the video conference with foreign partners for Elizabeth?
Alexander’s eyes were already red.
After staying up all night, his eyes were even redder.
By eight in the morning, Lisbun had fully regained its hustle and bustle
Alexander opened the door to the room.
He was about to leave when he looked up and saw the Elizabeth he had been longing for outside
