Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627 Do You Think That No One Wants Me?

Inside the private room, the tension in the air was so thick that one could slice it with a knife. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a waiter pushed the door and entered to break the silence.

The two tacitly restrained their emotions and did not make a scene in front of outsiders.

However, Elise still didn’t know how to face Alexander and ran out while the door was open.

When he saw her escaping, he picked up his jacket and hurriedly chased after her.

“Elise! Elise!”

At the hotel’s entrance, she was forced to a stop and took a deep breath.

“Are you okay?” He stopped in front of her. The volume of his voice was quiet, his well-defined eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his blood running cold.

“I’m fine.” She shook her head and lowered her face. “But I think there’s something wrong with me, so I need to get away from the situation.”

“Okay, I’ll accompany you. I won’t say or do anything. I will just be by your side,” he said lightly.

“No, I don’t want you to act like this,” she said anxiously. “I mean, I just want some space for myself, alone.”

Alexander leaned on her shoulder, looked at her adoringly, and said patiently, “We are now husband and wife. Regardless of what happens, we have to share the burden.”

Elise resignedly pushed his hand away and took a step back. ”Don’t tell me you don’t understand what Johnny implied earlier.”

No man in this world wouldn’t mind his wife having another man in her heart, let alone hearing it from someone else.

Alexander’s hand hung awkwardly in the air momentarily before he pulled it back. Still, with a faint smile on his face, he said, “Those people are used to being sycophants. I won’t take it to heart. I’m telling you that I believe in you.”

“But I don’t believe in myself anymore!” Elise suddenly raised her voice, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears because of guilt. “I feel bad now, you know? As long as I think about how I enjoy the love you give me, and at the same time, I can’t help letting others live in my heart, I can’t help but think that I am just like what they say, a fickle woman who’s cheating on you!”

“No, Elise. You’re not.” His eyes instantly turned red-rimmed when he saw she was in such an agonizing state. “It doesn’t matter whether you like me or care about Kenneth because…”

He couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to tell her the truth, even if it meant potential rejection.

“Because I’m greedy.” Unfortunately, she didn’t give him a chance to finish. “Because I don’t know what it means to be satisfied. I know what you’re going to say, but Alexander, you shouldn’t be shouldering the blame in this matter. So, give me a moment to calm down, okay? I’ll come back to you after I’ve given this a serious thought.”

“Elise…”

Alexander tried to explain again, but she was utterly out of her depth. So, after she finished saying her piece, she ran out, hailed a taxi, and left.

He chased the car, ran out onto the road, and stopped when the taxi accelerated.

As he watched the taxi drive farther and farther, the light in his eyes dimmed gradually before turning sorrowful.

After that, Elise stayed at the school on the grounds to prepare for the Nationwide University Know-All Competition.

In all honesty, she was just hiding from Alexander.

As for Alexander, he would wait by the school gate every day, but he would not call her, nor would he ever tell her he was there. He just sat in the car alone from when the street lights were turned on until the lights were turned off in the dormitory.

For half a month, they did not see each other.
