Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826 Give Up on Each Other Amidst Hardship

Irvin pressed a hand on his nose, and felt the tears well up in his eyes as the pain spread across his nose. “Irvin…” Feeling bad for him, Mimi reached out a hand in an attempt to ease the pain in his nose.

He was gasping in pain when he noticed her worried look, so he quickly cast her a smile. “I’m fine, Mimi. Don’t worry about me.” “Let’s go.” He picked up the fruits that were scattered on the ground before he held her hand in his own and walked toward the stairs. Then, he stopped in his tracks at the stairs when hesitation crept into his mind.

Irvin was here to apologize but ended up screwing things up. As such, he felt bad for failing his mother. However, he would have to face Mrs. Lawrence’s overbearing hostility if he turned back to the room, and it created a dilemma for him.

Hesitating after a long time, Irvin was still unable to make a decision. Thus, he turned around and led Mimi into the exit passageway instead.

Facing the exit as the duo sat on the exit stairway, Irvin decided to try for a second time once Mrs. Lawrence left the room.

As he turned to check on Mimi, he found her staring intensely at the fruits in the bag and swallowing.

He rolled his eyes slyly as an idea occurred to him, and he eventually decided he had nothing more to lose at the moment. “Mimi, let’s eat the fruits. Later, we’ll tell Mommy that Jace has forgiven us. What do you think?”

“Sure!” She nodded vigorously.

He smiled at her compliance. “Surely you’ll only agree with all my decisions. You’ll never contradict any of my statements, am I right?”

She hummed in agreement, still smiling at him.

He shook his head in resignation and took out some bananas and a dragon fruit from the bag. “Which one do you want?”

Her answer came out immediately. “The bananas! I love bananas!”

Therefore, he gave her all of them while he quietly peeled the dragon fruit.

As the bananas were small, Mimi finished one in the blink of an eye and threw its skin on the ground.

“Mimi, littering is not right,” Irvin reminded her.

Reluctant to stop eating, she negotiated, “Okey dokey, Irvin. I’ll pick them up after I finish them all. Can I?”

“All right.” He was understanding.

Smiling at him, she began to eat the rest. When she was chewing, her cheeks puffed out, as if she was an eating hamster.

Even only watching her eat had somehow eased most of his anxiety.

Meanwhile in the ward, Jace was lying on the bed when she whined at her mother, “I don’t want to eat a banana! I don’t! I told you I hate them!”

“I don’t want to force you, but eating them can prevent you from having cramps. Your father is already mad at you since you got into a fight and broke your arm during the banquet. Please, listen to me.” Mrs. Lawrence shoved the banana next to Jace’s mouth as she tried to convince her.

Pursing her lips, Jace was unwilling to cooperate.

“Jace!” Mrs. Lawrence’s patience was bottoming out. “Can’t you behave? Can you ever imagine the hardship I had to go through over the years? I also hate to force you. If only you worked harder and were a boy, we’d never have to live in such hell.”

“Do I have no right to be loved as a girl?” Growling to show her displeasure, Jace pulled the blanket away as she slid down the bed and rushed out of the ward.

Heading straight for the nearest emergency exit, she wanted to hide from others and get rid of her negative emotions.

When she pushed the door open, she wasn’t expecting to see Irvin and Mimi enjoying the fruits.

Their smiles stung her eyes and were inflaming her fragile heart.
