Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331

When night came, Elise decided to have dinner with Robin and Laura. Her grandparents had nearly gone mad with worry before she successfully escaped from Matthew‘s clutches, so she didn‘t intend to go out that night.

However, she still didn‘t see any sign of Alexander when the clock struck ten and both grandparents had already gone to bed. Elise felt a little antsy at that. She repeatedly paced between her room and the balcony, her eyes fixed on the road that led to the Sinclair Residence, searching for Alexander and his car.

After some time, Elise‘s pacing came to a halt in the living room. There, she belatedly realized that she was actually eager to see Alexander. Or to be more precise, she was already eager to see him even though they had only been apart for an afternoon.

When did Elise become so attached to him?

As she was immersed in her thoughts, her phone rang from where it was on the coffee table. She paced over to pick it up. The moment she saw Alexander‘s name on the caller ID, she immediately answered the phone.

Alexander‘s voice was pitched very soft and low, as though he was afraid of startling her. “Were you asleep?”

“No,” Elise answered honestly. “I slept a lot this afternoon, so I haven‘t been able to fall asleep now. I‘m a bit bored.”

“Come down, then,” Alexander said.

“Huh?” Elise didn‘t quite process that, standing there stiffly for a few moments before she whirled around and ran toward the balcony.

With the aid of the yellow glow of the streetlights, she could see Alexander, dressed in a leather trench coat. The belt around his midsection perfectly brought out the lines of his waist, making him look even taller and slender.

All of a sudden, Elise felt like she couldn‘t control herself as she hung up and dashed outside without even throwing on a jacket.

Their eyes met. Before Elise could even speak, Alexander undid his belt and draped his coat around her.

“You still came here even though it‘s so late already?” Elise asked.

Alexander‘s gaze was soft, and his voice was so lovingly gentle. “I wanted to see you. I‘ll only be able to relax once I‘m sure that you‘re still here.”

Elise didn‘t quite understand what he was getting at. If he wanted to make sure that she was safe, a simple phone call would have sufficed. There was no need for him to personally come here.

At the sight of Elise‘s expression, Alexander knew that she was lost again. His smile deepened, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace.
