Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 967

Despite wearing a smile, tears streamed down Alicia’s cheeks like a never-ending waterfall.

Unable to stand any more of it, Jamie wrapped his arms around the young woman tightly and promised, “No, you’re not filthy. You just need medical attention. Let’s leave this place. I’ll take you to the doctor. No one can hurt you anymore. Trust me…”

It was inevitable that they had to build a good relationship with the local forces when they were new in town. While Alexander went out for social engagements that night, Narissa, who didn’t want to go home only to argue with her father, slept over at Elise’s.

“No wonder I felt different about you back when I first saw you. Who’d have thought you’re my beloved Elise and not some Anastasia White,” lamented Narissa as she shared a bed with her best friend again after so many years.

“Given the circumstances back then, it was all I could do. Even the kids just found out not long ago,” said Elise as she tucked her friend in.

The topic of men would inevitably come up whenever girls came together.

“Are you honestly going to give up on Jamie?” Elise asked.

Narissa wasn’t getting any younger. She’d really be held up if she squandered her time away.

“What else can I do other than give up?” Narissa lay flat on her back in bed and stared at the ceiling, looking like she had given up fighting. “We’re walking further away from each other now. That girl, Alicia Heidelberg, is special to him.”

“But Jamie still cares the world about you. You still have a fighting chance.” Elise was no longer prudent about her words now that she had revealed her true identity to Narissa.

“He jumped into the sea to save Paul without any safety measures for you and even called out your name when he was totally hammered. I‘ve never seen him like that before.”

“Yeah, right. He’s nothing but a blockhead. As if he’d do anything like that.” As doubtful as Narissa sounded, she secretly hoped it was true.

“Let me show you something.” Elise decided to give up her beauty sleep and got out of bed to fish for her phone.

After retrieving a clip from the album app, she showed it to Narissa.

Very quickly, Jamie’s heartfelt confession came from the phone.

“It’s not that I don’t like you. I’m just worried I’ll die too soon and make you a widow… Then I realized I was wrong. I shouldn’t keep forcing you just because I think I’ll die, but instead, be brave and tell you how I feel, then fight to live till the next day for you…”

Narissa’s expression shifted one after another, looking exceptionally torn as she glued her eyes to the screen.

On the other hand, Elise breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Narissa was stirred.

The clip was a gift from Irvin to Elise after receiving his old man’s six months allowance. It was now put to good use.

Jamie, my dear, you can‘t say I haven ’t helped you this time, alright?

Just then, a rock with a note attached broke through the window.

“Who goes there?!” Narissa chucked the phone aside and jumped out of the window to catch the culprit.

Meanwhile, Elise picked the rock up and checked the note out. What was written was the same as last time, ‘Get out of here!‘

She took the note down and went to the next room to check on the kids. Fortunately, they were fine. Danny wasn’t in his room, who knew just where he had gone to-and Paul was dead asleep. It seemed that nothing in this world would make the young master keep an eye open even in his sleep.

Elise grew restless after waiting for a while upstairs, so she went straight down to find Alexander entering while grabbing a man by the collar when she arrived in the living room.

Narissa, too, had returned, following behind the two.

The man’s limbs were tied up. Hence, he dropped to his knees at once after Alexander kicked him in the back of his knee.

Meanwhile, Elise approached him and sized him up.
