Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 Gift of Confidence From Grandpa and Grandma

Mikayla had just walked down the steps outside the door when she turned around and stopped Jack in his tracks.

“I know my way out, so you can stop here.”

Jack paused in his tracks and didn’t insist on walking her out. He merely asked her casually, “How have you been lately? I’ve taken on many jobs recently, so I haven’t had time to visit you at the university.”

“I’m not that interesting, so why would you come and see me anyway?” Mikayla replied self-mockingly. “I’m just an ordinary student. Mr. Griffith, you’re obviously someone destined to be under the limelight and you have plenty of things to deal with every day. Even if we’re just friends, ordinary people like me should tweak my schedule to meet yours instead,” she said.

At that point, Jack felt bad after hearing her words. “Are you upset at me?”

Meanwhile, Mikayla shook her head and revealed a composed smile. “No, Jack. I do regard you as my friend, so that’s why I’m saying all this to you. It’s quite true; you are always under the limelight while I’m just a nobody. I’m quite content to be able to befriend such an outstanding person like you. I’m happy to coordinate my time according to yours, and I don’t think that you’ve screwed up anything. On the contrary, your focus on your career has made me realize that it’s quite awesome to have such a career-oriented and popular friend.”

Jack frowned slightly. “I haven’t helped you recover your memories, though…”

“That’s no longer necessary.” Mikayla behaved like an understanding friend, and she smiled serenely at him before taking a deep breath. At that point, she seemed to relax significantly. “I think that my current life is quite great; although I’ve lost some things, perhaps they aren’t meant to be mine after all. I don’t want to continue wasting time on this matter too.”

She paused after saying this and looked at Jack impishly with a slightly nosy look. “It’s rare for us to meet, so can I take this chance to ask you a question? Before we lost our memories, do you think we dated each other? Do you think it was a relationship where you were deeply infatuated with me and only had eyes for me?”

“That’s impossible! I would never be deeply infatuated with anyone!” Jack spoke haughtily.

However, he couldn’t help feeling anxious after saying that. Before Mikayla lost her memories, she had always harbored such hopes. Was his denial a cruel thing to say to her?

“That’s great!” Mikayla chuckled out loud. “In that case, even if I don’t recover those memories, there’s no need to feel sad about it. After all, you’re such a handsome guy. I would be quite lucky to have dated you.”

“That’s for sure!” When Jack saw that she was completely taking this as a joke, he couldn’t help feeling at ease.

“There is one thing, though.” Mikayla suddenly changed the topic. Then, she teased him playfully by saying, “Even if you’re handsome, you’re just someone suitable to go on a date with. You’re not someone suited for marriage, because it would be terrible to only meet up less than ten times a year. In the future, if a woman is interested in you, then that would be your blessing. Hence, you must grab the opportunity and don’t let her leave you!”

“Hey, don’t judge me so badly, alright? I’ve won the Best Actor Award before, you know!” Jack lifted his brows impatiently.

Meanwhile, she simply shrugged and lifted her hand to wave at him. “Very well, then. Goodbye, Best Actor!”

As soon as Mikayla said that, she bounded off with a bounce in her step.

As for Jack, he stood there staring until her figure disappeared from the alley. Then, he heaved a deep sigh before turning around to enter the house.

As soon as he walked in, Elise started to tease him. She asked, “How did the chat with Mikayla go?”

“How else do you think it could’ve gone? She can’t be bothered to talk to me.” Jack walked into the room dejectedly. Suddenly, he couldn’t help glancing from the side of his eyes as he caught sight of Winona’s figure beside him. Gosh, this girl doesn’t even care about her image in front of a guy. She’s truly a glutton in front of and behind the cameras.

“Ellie,” Alexander suddenly came out of the stone doors from the back yard as he gestured with his hands at her. “Could you come over for a minute?”

“Okay.” Elise lifted her feet and headed in that direction, but she paused after taking several steps. She turned to look at Jack and said, “You’ve gone on a variety show before, right? Since you’re quite free, could you help me explain to Winona what issues to pay attention to? I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of the entire nation.”

“Sure, I’ll do that. Go over there, and I’ll sort things out for you.”
