Chapter 314 Could You Stop Making Things Difficult for Me
Upon hearing Alexander’s words, Elise instantly felt wretched. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that she was heartbroken. However, after taking a deep breath, she replied as indifferently as she could, “Your mom… You’d better go back, Alexander. I can’t bear the responsibility if anything happens to her.” However, the more indifferent she looked on the outside, the more vulnerable she felt deep down.

His mother’s extreme behavior was still fresh in his mind, let alone Elise’s and her grandparents’. He was reluctant to part with Elise, nor was he willing to give up, but all words paled into insignificance at this moment. In the more than 20 years of his life, this was the first time he felt so powerless and helpless. Laura then persuaded, “I know you’re a nice kid, so go back. A man has too many responsibilities on his shoulders, not to mention that you’re not an ordinary man.

Upon seeing the woman before her, Elise was startled as well. “Are you working here?” She recognized the woman at a glance.
