Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1031

Elise rummaged through Heather's belongings and found the tocolytic drugs in the bag.

"You're pregnant." Elise raised her head in Heather's direction and asked, "Is Matthew the father?"

"Why do you care? Why should I tell you?"

To Heather, Elise was only Alexander's plaything to pass the time. She's nothing to be afraid of.

"You're right. It has nothing to do with me." Putting the medications aside, Elise sat upright. "Let's talk about something to do with me. For example, where's Danny?"

"Why do you ask me?" Heather turned her head aside, not even deigning to answer the question.

"If you ever hope to see Matthew again, you'll have to be a bit more cooperative." Elise tried to convince her.

Heather sneered. "I don't care. If the price to see him is his freedom, I would rather not see him for the rest of my life."

Elise had a first-hand experience of Heather's stubbornness many years ago. It seems persuasion or reason doesn't work for her.

After studying Heather's for a while, Elise landed her gaze on the hands Heather placed around her belly.

A woman's child was her weakness.

Elise adjusted her expression before changing the topic. "You've been on the run with Matthew over the last few years. I bet you feel insecure about it."

Elise began the topic by putting herself in Heather's shoes. For the first time, Heather felt that somebody could understand her.

But she refused to give in. "What makes you think so? I'm quite happy to stay by my lover's side."

"You're right. I agree with you on that." Instead of refuting the words, Elise simply continued, "Just like me and Alexander. I used to look up at him, and I never once dreamt about becoming his lover. Well, look at me now. I always wonder what I have done to deserve him. I'll give up on everything just to be with him, and I won't regret it one bit."

At that, Raymond's eyes widened in surprise. He secretly took out his phone to record the conversation.

This record had better bring me a promotion and a pay raise.

Heather was moved by Elise's words. Each of them touched a soft spot in her heart. After all, she also adored Matthew as if he was untouchable.

However, she was instantly on the alert once she digested the words. "Why are you telling me this? I'm not interested in your love story."

Heather had the feeling that the woman in front of her was trying to set her up, but she had no idea what the woman would do. The helplessness pushed her onto the edge as she fidgeted on the ground.

"Let me help you up." Elise bent down to help Heather to her feet.

Heather found the whole situation bizarre as she wasn't aware that she was talking to Elise Sinclair. She only remarked coldly, "You're wrong if you think you can turn me against Matthew just because you're being nice."

"I didn't say that. I'm offering you a future," Elise said.

"What do you mean?" Heather didn't get it.

"Take a seat. I'll explain to you."

Elise took a seat before finally continuing with a slow tone, "First of all, Alexander chose me because he has moved on. I'm glad he doesn't dwell on his past, and the things and people of his past."

She paused for a moment, letting Heather think of Elise on her own.

"Thus, if you can help us in finding Danny and convincing Matthew to move on, I'll also ask Alexander not to go after both of you. Furthermore, I'll help you to settle down in a place, where nobody knows you, to start a new life."

"You and Matthew can get married like an ordinary couple in the new place. You can also walk on the streets hand in hand. Most importantly, your baby will be born as a legitimate child. As long as you put the effort into your relationship, you could be as happy as me."

Heather always dreamt of such a kind of life.

She felt it in her heart. She even started envisioning a future of holding Matthew and their child while walking in the streets in broad daylight.

All these years, they had been on the run. Any sign of trouble, and they were forced to move again. Aside from avoiding the police, they also worried that the men from Smith Co. were coming after them.
