Chapter 695 You Had It Easy
Alexander glanced at Madeline coldly, causing her to lower her head guiltily.
He wrapped a long arm around Elise’s waist to pull her into a hug while looking at the reporters with
hostility. “I am here with my fiancée to have some fun, but all of you just had to disturb us. It’s so
annoying.”
Alexander looked around and paused at the reporter who had just questioned Elise. Then, he reached
out to hold the reporter’s lanyard and roughly glanced at it. “Comet Weekly, right? You will have a legal
notice.”
After that, Alexander looked at the others and raised his voice. “If you want to lose your job, you can stay
here. I will not hesitate to bring you down!”
As soon as these words came out, the paparazzi were so frightened that their legs turned soft and they
quickly ran away. Within ten seconds, they disappeared.
“We’re so sorry!” The staff was worried about being held accountable and kept apologizing. “It’s all our
fault; we’re sorry.”
“Alright, alright. You don’t have to say it anymore. You can leave now. I’ll call you if I need help.”
Alexander waved his hand and dismissed the staff.
The staff was discerning and she knew they were about to discuss something in private, so she hurriedly
went down.
When she left, Alexander looked at Madeline again with impatience and anger.
Madeline opened her mouth and tried to explain, “Alex—”
However, Alexander didn’t give her a chance to speak. “I’m so disappointed in you. I know you don’t like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther, but you can’t slander her this way! You are disregarding my dignity too!”
“I’m not!” Madeline tried to argue. “I came here because I wanted to help you.”
“Say no more.” Alexander’s attitude was harsh and his tone was cold. “From today onward, you will only
have three sons. I am not your son anymore.”
After that, he dragged Elise into the room and slammed the door shut.
Madeline tried to follow them in and almost hit her nose. She raised her hand, wanting to knock on the
door, but she lost the courage to do it halfway.
No matter how she spoke ill of Elise before, Alexander never yelled at her like that.
The look of disgust and disappointment from him earlier deeply hurt Madeline’s heart.
I was just being kind; why did this happen?
Madeline was getting sadder the more she thought about it. In the end, she sighed and looked at the
tightly shut door. She then turned around and left in despair.
In the room, Alexander and Elise were back to the previous calm atmosphere.
Looking at the clasped hands, Alexander looked at Elise with love and said softly, “You’re not mad, are
you?”
Elise blinked. As if being reminded, she suddenly pulled her hand away, turned around, and said coldly,
“What if I am angry at you and don’t accept your double life? What are you going to do?”
Alexander’s mood went up and down like a roller coaster. Then, he resisted the sadness and replied, “I
will leave you alone as you wish, but I will still protect you from a distance and not disturb you.”
“You really are open-minded, aren’t you?” Elise said indifferently, “You will leave if I don’t accept you,
which means your love for me is not strong enough.”
Alexander frowned upon hearing that.
I really do love her more than my life and the whole universe. However, my love will be meaningless if
she does not accept me.
I must suffer the consequences since I’m the one who lied. Those so-called explanations are just
excuses.
He was silent and not refuting.
If they had to break up, Alexander would rather it be peaceful. He wanted to maintain a gentle
impression of Elise until the very end.
Unable to get Alexander’s response, Elise raised her eyebrows and turned back to look at him curiously.
“Aren’t you going to fight for me?”
Alexander’s heart was bleeding, and his brain seemed to stop. At that point, he couldn’t utter a single
word. After a long time, he finally forced out through gritted teeth, “I love you, but you’re free. I will let you
go if staying with you makes you unhappy.”
Elise had a faint smile on her face and she stared at him with a look of relief.
This is Alexander, all right. From the moment when we started dating, he always puts my feelings first.
He didn’t mind being sad and lonely.
“Won’t you be sad if I am gone?” Elise asked jokingly. “Won’t you have a sleepless night? Will you
secretly hide and cry? Will you lose sleep because you miss me?”
“I will,” Alexander choked out.
Elise couldn’t put up with the pretense anymore. Then, she walked over to Alexander. Standing on her
toes, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hung onto him.
At that point, Elise looked utterly like a koala.
Alexander was overwhelmed by this, and he used all his strength to hug onto her.
He gave her a chance to leave. Since she didn’t leave, he would never let her go.
His obsidian-colored eyes were soaked with tears, but he felt happy at the same time.

this again,” Elise said.
Alexander laughed in response. He then stroked her head and complained, “I didn’t know you hold a
grudge. What a shocker.”
“Serves you right. You were so mad in the past.” Elise snarled, “You were mad at me for a night, but I
was only mad at you for a few minutes! You had it easy.”
“Yes, my honey is always right,” Alexander said dotingly.
Elise smiled contentedly and hugged him tighter. “Alexander and Kenneth are the same people.
Fortunately, I didn’t love the wrong person and didn’t fall in love with anyone else.”
Alexander smiled lightly. “Maybe our hearts are so small we can only accommodate one person.”
Elise didn’t refute and just enjoyed the moment quietly.
After a while, she suddenly let go and got off Alexander. She remembered Madeline’s expression and
said thoughtfully, “I don’t think your mom hired those reporters. I made a wrong assumption as they
appeared at the same time. What should I do? I think I have misunderstood her.”
Madeline cared about pride the most, so she wouldn’t hire the reporters to expose the scandal.
Alexander thought for a while and raised his hand to comb through Elise’s hair. “It’s alright. Let her
experience what it’s like to be misunderstood. Otherwise, she will never know how evil these groundless
suspicions and accusations are.”
Although Alexander felt a little guilty saying those ruthless words to Madeline, he couldn’t tolerate her
hurting Elise all the time.
Everyone should grow up. So, Madeline should suffer and learn how to be a qualified elder.
Elise mulled over this for a while. Madeline would not relent if there was no consequence, so let her be.
Otherwise, she would fight whenever she liked and there would be no peaceful day. Hence, she silently
agreed to Alexander’s approach.
