Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255,Coolest Girl in Town

“No way, you got it all wrong; that wasn’t my intention. I was just worried about the possible trouble that’ll crop up.” After all, many people would try to suck up to Quentin, considering his identity. Elise had only expressed that they were on somewhat close terms, and already, there was a whole queue of people trying to get to him through her. And Quentin knew this better than anyone else. “You’re getting even more crafty by the day, my girl!” Having said that, Quentin looked at Alexander, his eyes narrowing slightly when he recalled Madeline’s words earlier.

He then quickly continued, “How has life been treating you recently, Ellie? If anything happens, come straight to me! You’ll always have my full support.” “I know, Papa! Don’t worry about that! I’ve been doing just fine.” “That’s all I need to hear!” After saying that, Quentin seemingly thought of something. He then dug out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed it over to her. “I’m very proud of you, knowing that you got into Tissote University. These are the keys to the house that I bought for you near campus. You can stay there. It’ll be more convenient for you that way.”

Elise stared at the keys. Her heart wouldn’t stop thumping furiously in her chest. Property prices in Tissote were sky-high; just a single studio apartment would set one back millions already. “This is too expensive a gift. I can’t accept this.” Much to her surprise, Quentin became unhappy when she said that, and he shoved the keys right into her hands. “This is for my darling daughter, so it’s not expensive to me at all! I’m going to be upset if you don’t accept it.”

“Okay, Papa! I’ll take it.” It was only then that Quentin’s expression lightened up. “That’s my girl, being so considerate and polite even with her godfather! Say, when are you going to Tissote? It’ll be easier for me to help you make the necessary arrangements.” “Early September, I guess!” “Okay, got it. Let me send you two back. Or, do you want to go to the Griffith Residence instead?” “No, I already moved out. I currently stay at a place at Bollinger Gardens that I bought myself,” Elise quickly said. Quentin’s eyes narrowed slightly at that before he asked, “Ellie, did something upsetting happen to you recently?”

Elise shook her head. “I’m fine! I just thought that I was imposing too much on the Griffiths’ hospitality, so I decided to move out myself.” Quentin clearly wasn’t buying any of that, but he didn’t call her out on her lie either. He simply said, “No matter what happens, remember to tell me, okay? Don’t keep everything to yourself.” “Don’t worry, Papa. I’m fine, really!” Quentin felt even more heartbroken when he heard her say that, but he didn’t show any sign of it on his face. Elise was the first one to get out of the car when he dropped Elise and Alexander off at their destination.

However, seeing how Alexander still remained seated in the car, she proceeded to call him. But then, Alexander said, “Head in first. There’s something that I want to talk to Mr. Fassbender about.” Elise asked, “Why are you guys acting so mysterious all of a sudden, Papa? Can’t I listen in too?” Quentin chuckled. “How can a woman listen in on a conversation between two men? Hurry upstairs now! Get some rest!” Elise pouted.

“Okay, Papa! I’m going now. See you later.” She then waved and proceeded to make her way into the building. After the car door was closed again, the atmosphere between Alexander and Quentin inexplicably changed. Neither of them spoke, but Alexander could sense a certain pressure weighing down on him. It was the first time someone made him feel that way. Quentin quirked an eyebrow slightly and said, “I’m not going to beat around the bush, Alex, so let me just cut right to the chase. I’ve watched Ellie grow up with my own eyes. I know her personality and her feelings better than anyone.
