Chapter 740
After speaking, Elizabeth returned to her seat.
Ivan and Kieran were talking about something, and the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.
Elizabeth sat down and continued eating her food.
Before long, Alexander also returned.
But he didn’t sit down. Instead, he said to Kieran, “Kieran, let’s go.”
Kieran was a bit surprised.
Alexander nodded, “There’s something at the office, or should I go first?”
Kieran couldn’t help but glance at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Alexander had just left together. What did they talk about?
Kieran was the best at reading people, and both Alexander and Elizabeth seemed too calm at the moment.
Sometimes, being overly calm was just a facade.
Naturally, Kieran wouldn’t stay to continue bothering Ivan and Elizabeth. He nodded and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Alexander gave Ivan a deep look, nodded, and then left.
Ivan frowned; he also noticed the change in Alexander’s attitude.
What did Elizabeth and Alexander talk about earlier?
Alexander walked quickly, and Kieran hurried to catch up.
Only then did Ivan ask Elizabeth, “Are you guys okay?”
Alexander sneered, “Of course, we’re just two strangers.”
Elizabeth didn’t initially want to drink, but now she felt inexplicably depressed.
She asked Ivan, “Want a drink?”
Ivan was about to say he drove here, but seeing Elizabeth’s downcast mood, he nodded.
He could call a driver; it was a minor issue.
As long as it was something Elizabeth wanted to do, he would do his best to accompany her.
Elizabeth pushed a glass of wine to Ivan.
Ivan clinked his glass with Elizabeth’s.
He looked at Elizabeth sincerely, “No matter what, I hope you’re happy.”

If his affection caused Elizabeth significant distress, he would be willing to let go.
Elizabeth nodded, saying nothing.
Ivan lowered his head and downed his drink in one gulp.
In the elevator, Alexander ‘kept his head down, seemingly sending messages to Nolan about work.
But he was just pretending to be busy.
Kieran pressed Alexander’s hand and said calmly, “What happened? What did you talk about with Elizabeth? Why did you suddenly want to leave after coming back from the restroom? Just let Elizabeth and Ivan have dinner?”
Kieran had been advising Ivan to think carefully. Alexander and Elizabeth still had feelings for each other, friends shouldn’t mess things up like this.
“Kieran, I lost,” was all Alexander said.
Kieran was puzzled. How did Alexander lose?
“I confessed to Elizabeth. I let her go,” Alexander looked at Kieran and couldn’t help but chuckle.
It was laughable.
In his life, there was nothing Alexander couldn’t get.
Now there was.
Elizabeth couldn’t get him before, and now he couldn’t get Elizabeth.
Great.
God loved to torment people. He and Elizabeth were completely impossible now.
Kieran was shocked.
“You’re not pursuing her anymore?” Kieran asked.
Alexander shook his head.
His pursuit had already become a burden for Elizabeth.
Since it was a burden, what reason did he have to continue?
Kieran frowned, feeling that Alexander was suddenly shrouded in oppression.
When they came, Alexander had said he was wrong. He had upset Elizabeth when he dropped her off at the research institute in the morning.
He wanted to find an opportunity to properly apologize to Elizabeth.
Honestly, Kieran had never seen Alexander like this.
Alexander not only wanted to apologize but also had such a sincere attitude.

This matter seemed more important than Alexander’s company.
