Chapter 315 What Can We Do to Make Her Happy?,Coolest Girl in Town

Alexander could hardly describe his feelings when he heard Elise’s words, which were spoken gently in

a croaky voice. “Have you made up your mind?” “Well, your mom’s determined to stop me. There’s a

saying that has been true throughout the ages: you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” It was both

appropriate and inappropriate to apply the saying to the present moment, but the saying was true since

Elise and Madeline could never live peacefully together. Alexander didn’t respond, though his black

eyes were full of sorrow. Elise felt bad when she saw him like this, but she could only force herself to

put up an apathetic front at the moment.

She said coldly, “You’re not worried that something might happen to your mom, Alexander. In that case,

don’t you worry that something might happen to me?” Upon hearing her say so, Alexander immediately

got anxious. “Elise—” However, Elise replied, “I’m not joking with you. Right now, I just want to move on

and live my life with Grandpa and Grandma. My engagement to one of the Griffiths was decided by

Grandpa and Grandpa Griffith back then. Now that Grandpa Griffith has passed away and Grandpa

doesn’t want me to marry into the Griffith Family, it’s only a matter of course that our engagement is

annulled.”

She was relieved to see how anxious Alexander looked. Rather than staying together with him

regardless of the consequences, she wanted to see the man doing well. “I’ll clarify the matter between

us, Alexander. Just go back early if you’ve got nothing else to say.” With that, she turned around and

left without looking back, ignoring Alexander no matter how he called out to her from behind. Alexander

wanted to run after Elise, but his legs felt so heavy at this very moment as though they had been filled

with lead. He couldn’t take the first step no matter what… … Elise met Jessica again when she entered

the elevator.

Noticing at a glance that Elise was feeling down, Jessica approached her and asked, “Did you two

have a quarrel?” “It wasn’t a quarrel, actually.” Elise pressed her lips together, though she didn’t feel

any better. It would be fine if she only had a quarrel with Alexander, for they could at least get back

together happily after making up. The awful thing was that they didn’t even have a slim chance of being

together. “What’s the matter, then? Did you two run into some obstacles? We used to tell each other

everything, Elise, so feel free to tell me about it. Don’t suppress your feelings, or you’ll break down

easily.”

Jessica patted Elise on the shoulder. Elise shook her head. It was true that she and Jessica had been

friends who kept no secrets from each other, but they had been separated for years. At the moment,

she no longer had the strength to talk about her relationship with Alexander. Surprisingly, Jessica came

to her the next day and even brought many presents for Robin and Laura. Upon learning that it was

Jessica, Robin and Laura received her cordially.

They even persuaded Elise to hang out with her. Not only that, but they also had their outing mapped

out scrupulously. Elise knew Robin and Laura were worried that she might suffer from depression, and

they thought it good that her childhood best friend could come and keep her company. However, she

really didn’t have much energy for it under the present circumstances. Just then, Jessica asked, “I can

tell that you’re feeling down. You’d better give vent to your emotions, or it’ll be bad if you suffer from

depression. The problem between you and your boyfriend, is it because his family disapproves of his

relationship with you?”

Elise didn’t expect that Jessica would actually guess it right. After a few seconds of shock, she nodded.

“…Yeah.” She’s figured it out already. There’s no point denying, she thought. Jessica encouraged, “If

you two are deeply in love with each other, you shouldn’t be in thrall to the present. The Elise I know

isn’t someone who would be defeated by some minor difficulties!” Elise replied with a sigh, “But his

family spurns me. You didn’t see the extreme lengths his mother had gone to. She even dared to stab

herself with a knife to force him to break up with me.” That scene is really unthinkable. Even now, I’m

still scared, she thought. Jessica asked straightforwardly, “Is his mother mentally disturbed or

something?”

Elise pursed her lips, saying, “Nope. She’s just prone to extreme behavior, and she’s prejudiced

against me. It’s just that I didn’t want to put him in such a difficult position. Anyway, thanks for coming to

see me, Jessica, but I don’t feel like going out these days.” “Well, in that case, all the more you need to

have fun. How about I take you to a party tonight? If you’ve made up your mind, then you should get

over him as early as possible. Don’t let him keep on pestering you either, or you two will torture

yourselves to death, no?” Jessica asked while offering Elise a piece of advice. Elise thought about it for

a moment and finally nodded.

Even though Elise agreed to go to the party with Jessica, she was in no mood to doll herself up, so it

was Jessica who picked her evening dress and put makeup on her. “Look at that long face of yours.

Everyone will know that you’re in a mood if you go out looking like this. Cheer up, sweetie! It’s just a

man, isn’t it? If his family doesn’t approve of you, then find someone whose family does. It’s not like

you can’t marry anyone other than him, anyway!” Jessica advised Elise. Elise knew that Jessica

wouldn’t have advised her like this if they weren’t close. Even so, how can I really do that?

Alexander is the man I gave my heart to, and we broke up not because we no longer love each other or because one of us betrayed the other… “Let’s go!” She quickly stopped thinking about it. The more she

thought about it, the more her head hurt. At present, she could only find something else to do to divert

her attention. With that, she and Jessica left the Sinclair Mansion. Robin watched the two ladies leave

before letting out a heavy sigh.

“What a poor child Elise is! I thought I could let her live like a princess, but now, she can’t even be

together with the man she loves the most. This is really—” Laura frowned on Robin’s words, though.

She argued, “That only proves that they’re not meant to be together. If they’re meant to be together,

nothing can keep them apart.” Robin nodded silently in agreement. “You’re right. If they’re meant to be

together, nothing can keep them apart.”

Laura replied with a snort, “That’s right, so stop worrying about this. Now, let’s think about how to teach

Madeline a lesson and how to make our Elise happy.” Robin nodded upon hearing Laura’s words, but

he was troubled. “How can we make her happy now that she’s upset? Find her parents? It’s been

almost 20 years, but there’s no news at all…”
