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 ina croaky voice. “Have you made up your mind?” “Well, your mom’s determined to stop me. There’s asaying that has been true throughout the ages: you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” It was bothappropriate and inappropriate to apply the saying to the present moment, but the saying was true sinceElise and Madeline could never live peacefully together. Alexander didn’t respond, though his blackeyes were full of sorrow. Elise felt bad when she saw him like this, but she could only force herself toput 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 immediatelygot anxious. “Elise—” However, Elise replied, “I’m not joking with you. Right now, I just want to move onand live my life with Grandpa and Grandma. My engagement to one of the Griffiths was decided byGrandpa and Grandpa Griffith back then. Now that Grandpa Griffith has passed away and Grandpadoesn’t want me to marry into the Griffith Family, it’s only a matter of course that our engagement isannulled.”

She was relieved to see how anxious Alexander looked. Rather than staying together with himregardless of the consequences, she wanted to see the man doing well. “I’ll clarify the matter betweenus, Alexander. Just go back early if you’ve got nothing else to say.” With that, she turned around andleft without looking back, ignoring Alexander no matter how he called out to her from behind. Alexanderwanted to run after Elise, but his legs felt so heavy at this very moment as though they had been filledwith lead. He couldn’t take the first step no matter what… … Elise met Jessica again when she enteredthe elevator.

Noticing at a glance that Elise was feeling down, Jessica approached her and asked, “Did you twohave a quarrel?” “It wasn’t a quarrel, actually.” Elise pressed her lips together, though she didn’t feelany better. It would be fine if she only had a quarrel with Alexander, for they could at least get backtogether happily after making up. The awful thing was that they didn’t even have a slim chance of beingtogether. “What’s the matter, then? Did you two run into some obstacles? We used to tell each othereverything, Elise, so feel free to tell me about it. Don’t suppress your feelings, or you’ll break downeasily.”

Jessica patted Elise on the shoulder. Elise shook her head. It was true that she and Jessica had beenfriends 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 cameto her the next day and even brought many presents for Robin and Laura. Upon learning that it wasJessica, Robin and Laura received her cordially.

They even persuaded Elise to hang out with her. Not only that, but they also had their outing mappedout scrupulously. Elise knew Robin and Laura were worried that she might suffer from depression, andthey thought it good that her childhood best friend could come and keep her company. However, shereally didn’t have much energy for it under the present circumstances. Just then, Jessica asked, “I cantell that you’re feeling down. You’d better give vent to your emotions, or it’ll be bad if you suffer fromdepression. The problem between you and your boyfriend, is it because his family disapproves of hisrelationship 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, “Ifyou two are deeply in love with each other, you shouldn’t be in thrall to the present. The Elise I knowisn’t someone who would be defeated by some minor difficulties!” Elise replied with a sigh, “But hisfamily spurns me. You didn’t see the extreme lengths his mother had gone to. She even dared to stabherself 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 orsomething?”

Elise pursed her lips, saying, “Nope. She’s just prone to extreme behavior, and she’s prejudicedagainst me. It’s just that I didn’t want to put him in such a difficult position. Anyway, thanks for coming tosee me, Jessica, but I don’t feel like going out these days.” “Well, in that case, all the more you need tohave fun. How about I take you to a party tonight? If you’ve made up your mind, then you should getover him as early as possible. Don’t let him keep on pestering you either, or you two will tortureyourselves to death, no?” Jessica asked while offering Elise a piece of advice. Elise thought about it fora 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 itwas 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 aman, isn’t it? If his family doesn’t approve of you, then replace someone whose family does. It’s not likeyou can’t marry anyone other than him, anyway!” Jessica advised Elise. Elise knew that Jessicawouldn’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 orbecause one of us betrayed the other… “Let’s go!” She quickly stopped thinking about it. The more shethought about it, the more her head hurt. At present, she could only replace something else to do to diverther attention. With that, she and Jessica left the Sinclair Mansion. Robin watched the two ladies leavebefore 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 betogether 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 betogether, 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 teachMadeline a lesson and how to make our Elise happy.” Robin nodded upon hearing Laura’s words, buthe was troubled. “How can we make her happy now that she’s upset? Find her parents? It’s beenalmost 20 years, but there’s no news at all…”
