Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551 Not Getting Married?

Meanwhile, Danny was drowned in confusion. What does Elise mean by this? She said the designs were great, but she didn’t pick any. So, is she happy with them or not? Also, why do I suddenly feel that things are weird between her and Alex?

“Are the both of you alright?” Looking left and right, he felt a shadow of doubt in his heart.

“What could be wrong with us?” An inexplicable fury ignited within Alexander, and he snatched the folder from Elise’s hand before pushing it into Danny’s. “Go back if you have nothing else. There’s something we have to discuss.”

Seeing the look on his face, Danny was sure that the both of them were hiding something from him.

However, as a third party on the spot, he would be suspected of siding with one party in a fight between a couple. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this thing had something to do with him, so he decided to make the smart move and go.

After watching that Danny had left, Alexander lowered his eyes, which were dark and deep, as he thought about something in his mind.

“Alex.” Elise called his name suddenly.

His voice was low and husky as he said without looking at her, “Are you trying to say that you don’t want to get married?”

Looking at his forlorn profile, Elise felt her heart wrenching, and she almost couldn’t breath from the pain.

She didn’t want to hurt him, nor did she want to make him sad. However, judging from the situation now, if she didn’t take care of the people who were trying to harm her, she couldn’t focus, and neither did she have the guts to get married.

Now, Alexander was merely her fiancé, but he was already poisoned; she couldn’t imagine how those people would act against him once they were married.

The entire hall fell silent. Both of them had their own troubles, and nobody knew how to continue the conversation.

It was Alexander who used his identity as Kenneth to remind her that she should fight to live because she was in a grave situation. While he was glad that she had taken the advice, it didn’t occur to him that she would postpone the wedding because of this.

He was even considering to come clean about his identity and tell her that even if they were married, he was capable of protecting himself and her. Still, he was even more aware of the fact that only by hiding his identity could he stop the hidden daggers flying in her direction when she was harmed by unknown threats.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and accepted the reality. When he turned his face and looked at her again, he had recovered his gentle smile.

Reaching out, he then grabbed her hand and kneaded her palm in his. Then, he looked down and said slowly, “I’m fine with that. If you’re really worried about it, it’s fine by me to get married later. The wedding is simply a ceremony I would like to give you because I want to show you how much you matter to me. I just want you to know that, with or without a wedding or a marriage certificate, you’re my wife in my heart. There’s only you. As long as you believe this truly, then I’m fine with your decision.”

Elise’s brows knitted slightly as her guilt deepened. “Could you please not be so good to me? I’ve never done anything for you. Why are you always making compromises for me?”

Alexander lifted his hand and held her face as happiness and love sparkled in his eyes. “There is no reason. If there has to be one, then it’s because it’s you—you’re the reason I compromise without any limits. Elise, you have no idea how amazing you are, and there’s nothing else I want but just to be with you. As long as we’re together, there’s nothing that can crush me. So long as you’re around, I can feel that I’m alive. Do you understand?”
