Chapter 172 Let’s Get Married

As soon as Elise walked out of the school gates, she noticed the familiar-looking car parked in front and walked toward it immediately. Then, she tapped on the car window, which was then gradually wound down. Alexander was slightly surprised as he asked, “Have your classes ended?”

Without batting an eyelid, Elise nodded right away.

“Where are we headed?” she asked.

However, there was an air of mystery to Alexander as he murmured, “You’ll see soon enough.”

And so, he drove the car and brought her to a vintage-looking restaurant. Furthermore, the waiter was dressed in a traditional costume.

The both of them then headed directly upstairs to the private room. “The atmosphere here is quite pleasant,” Elise said sincerely. Soon after that, Alexander pulled out a chair for her as he offered, “Have a seat.”

Both of them sat facing each other and shortly after, the waiter came in with two apples for them. “It’s Christmas Eve tonight. This is for you and I hope that you will enjoy your night.”

Meanwhile, Alexander raised an eyebrow. “Christmas Eve?”

Elise explained, “It’s just a simple occasion. We don’t need to make a big fuss about it.”

Alexander didn’t realize that today was Christmas Eve so he didn’t prepare a present for her. However, after further consideration, he turned to her and said, “I’ve been too busy with work lately and I haven’t had much time to go out.”

Elise, too, was quite considerate. “You must be quite tired from all the work-related matters that you need to deal with.”

He lifted his head and shot a look at her, but his face remained impassive and he mentioned calmly without any emotion, “Actually, I asked you out today because I wanted to talk to you about something.”

Humming in response, Elise took the teacup on the table and poured some water into it before handing it to him.
