Chapter 208 Are You Even Worth It?
“What are you talking about? Who’s an idiot? I’ve never expected you to do anything in the first place. Apart from that, our engagement is simply because I like you and I want to be with you. There are no other reasons apart from this.”
Elise smiled, obviously not believing what he was saying.
“Stop lying to yourself, Mr. Griffith. It’s meaningless if we speak about things too explicitly. Both of us should calm down for a moment and think about it. If you want to call off the engagement, just let me know in advance. As for other issues, there’s nothing for us to talk about.”
With that, Elise shoved him and walked away from him, leaving a clueless Alexander who could do nothing about the situation.
With a loud thud, she closed the door and wrapped her hands around her legs, only to find tears streaming down her face immediately after that.
Over the past two days, she kept telling herself that what she saw might not be true. However, she simply could not forget the image of Ashlyn holding onto Alexander’s arm.
Elise knew that she had fallen deeper in this relationship, and she was also aware that her words just now were just out of anger.
However, she could not face it peacefully. Let’s both calm down. Perhaps we can find a solution after that.
On the other hand, Alexander felt morose. After pondering about it for a long time, he could not understand what had happened between both of them, as their relationship was going rather well before this.
“Ahem!” A soft cough rang from around the corner. Then, Danny appeared and quickly explained, “Alexander, I overheard the conversation unintentionally. It really was just a coincidence.”
Alexander’s eyes darkened when he heard that. “I have something to ask you,” he said, to which Danny quickly replied, “What is it, Alexander? Just ask away.”
Looking at the closed door, Alexander asked, “Do you know what’s wrong with her for the past few days?”
At that, Danny gave it a serious thought. “It’s true that Boss looks quite troubled over the past few days, as if there’s some problems on her mind that haven’t been resolved. Nothing like this has ever occurred in the past. I think it was from that day onwards… Yes, the afternoon that you went to school to look for her but she wasn’t there. Since that day, she seemed to have turned into a completely different person. Did you guys have a fight, Alexander? Could it be that you don’t like her and want to call off the engagement?”
After all, Elise had made herself very clear just now.
However, Alexander announced without any hesitation, “It’s impossible. I would never do that in my entire life.”
But that day…
Alexander seemed to have remembered something and his expression instantly darkened.
“I believe I know what happened.”
Danny still wanted to ask him further questions, but Alexander did not give him a chance to do so. As he walked away alone, Danny did not forget to shout, “Alexander, treat my Boss well! I’m her family who gives her the strongest support!”
