Chapter 315 What Can We Do to Make Her Happy?,Coolest Girl in Town
 
Alexander could hardly describe his feelings when he heard Elise’s words, which were spoken gently in a croaky voice. “Have you made up your mind?” “Well, your mom’s determined to stop me. There’s a saying that has been true throughout the ages: you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” It was both appropriate and inappropriate to apply the saying to the present moment, but the saying was true since Elise and Madeline could never live peacefully together. Alexander didn’t respond, though his black eyes were full of sorrow. Elise felt bad when she saw him like this, but she could only force herself to put up an apathetic front at the moment. 

 

 

She said coldly, “You’re not worried that something might happen to your mom, Alexander. In that case, don’t you worry that something might happen to me?” Upon hearing her say so, Alexander immediately got anxious. “Elise—” However, Elise replied, “I’m not joking with you. Right now, I just want to move on and live my life with Grandpa and Grandma. My engagement to one of the Griffiths was decided by Grandpa and Grandpa Griffith back then. Now that Grandpa Griffith has passed away and Grandpa doesn’t want me to marry into the Griffith Family, it’s only a matter of course that our engagement is annulled.”

 

She was relieved to see how anxious Alexander looked. Rather than staying together with him regardless of the consequences, she wanted to see the man doing well. “I’ll clarify the matter between us, Alexander. Just go back early if you’ve got nothing else to say.” With that, she turned around and left without looking back, ignoring Alexander no matter how he called out to her from behind. Alexander wanted to run after Elise, but his legs felt so heavy at this very moment as though they had been filled with lead. He couldn’t take the first step no matter what… … Elise met Jessica again when she entered the elevator.

Noticing at a glance that Elise was feeling down, Jessica approached her and asked, “Did you two have a quarrel?” “It wasn’t a quarrel, actually.” Elise pressed her lips together, though she didn’t feel any better. It would be fine if she only had a quarrel with Alexander, for they could at least get back together happily after making up. The awful thing was that they didn’t even have a slim chance of being together. “What’s the matter, then? Did you two run into some obstacles? We used to tell each other everything, Elise, so feel free to tell me about it. Don’t suppress your feelings, or you’ll break down easily.”

Jessica patted Elise on the shoulder. Elise shook her head. It was true that she and Jessica had been friends who kept no secrets from each other, but they had been separated for years. At the moment, she no longer had the strength to talk about her relationship with Alexander. Surprisingly, Jessica came to her the next day and even brought many presents for Robin and Laura. Upon learning that it was Jessica, Robin and Laura received her cordially.

 

They even persuaded Elise to hang out with her. Not only that, but they also had their outing mapped out scrupulously. Elise knew Robin and Laura were worried that she might suffer from depression, and they thought it good that her childhood best friend could come and keep her company. However, she really didn’t have much energy for it under the present circumstances. Just then, Jessica asked, “I can tell that you’re feeling down. You’d better give vent to your emotions, or it’ll be bad if you suffer from depression. The problem between you and your boyfriend, is it because his family disapproves of his relationship with you?”

 

Elise didn’t expect that Jessica would actually guess it right. After a few seconds of shock, she nodded. “…Yeah.” She’s figured it out already. There’s no point denying, she thought. Jessica encouraged, “If you two are deeply in love with each other, you shouldn’t be in thrall to the present. The Elise I know isn’t someone who would be defeated by some minor difficulties!” Elise replied with a sigh, “But his family spurns me. You didn’t see the extreme lengths his mother had gone to. She even dared to stab herself with a knife to force him to break up with me.” That scene is really unthinkable. Even now, I’m still scared, she thought. Jessica asked straightforwardly, “Is his mother mentally disturbed or something?”

Even though Elise agreed to go to the party with Jessica, she was in no mood to doll herself up, so it was Jessica who picked her evening dress and put makeup on her. “Look at that long face of yours. Everyone will know that you’re in a mood if you go out looking like this. Cheer up, sweetie! It’s just a man, isn’t it? If his family doesn’t approve of you, then find someone whose family does. It’s not like you can’t marry anyone other than him, anyway!” Jessica advised Elise. Elise knew that Jessica wouldn’t have advised her like this if they weren’t close. Even so, how can I really do that?

 

Alexander is the man I gave my heart to, and we broke up not because we no longer love each other or because one of us betrayed the other… “Let’s go!” She quickly stopped thinking about it. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. At present, she could only find something else to do to divert her attention. With that, she and Jessica left the Sinclair Mansion. Robin watched the two ladies leave before letting out a heavy sigh.
