Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 720

"Nothing is more important than your safety," Alexander insisted.

"You're wrong," Elise said. Her thoughts were clear. "If Cittadel, as a whole, is in danger, we are no exception. Alexander, our responsibilities extend beyond each other."

She then stopped for a while and wrapped her arms around his neck. In a low voice, she continued, "I know you've quietly helped me many times in the past. But from now on, try to trust my own ability to protect myself, will you?"

Alexander was about to reject what she had said when Elise blocked his mouth with her index finger and said solemnly, "I'm not going to let you say no. People will take advantage of your flaws. I am not your burden, and I do not wish to be your burden either. If you don’t let me prove my worth, I'd rather not see you for the rest of my life. This could even save you from some of the risks you might face."

While speaking, Elise wanted to let go of him before dodging aside.

But Alexander wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her into his embrace. "I'm going to miss you to death if I can't see you."

In the end, he heaved a sigh and relented, "Fine. I promise you that."

When she heard this, she hugged him again. "Alexander, we must all be fine."

Elise felt that they were in a massive conspiracy scheme that would devour them someday, and she was terrified of losing everything she had now.

At the same time, she was concerned that Alexander would feel the same way.

So, no matter how much she couldn't bear to let go, they both had to make sure they were safe and sound even if they weren't by each other's sides.

This way, no matter what difficulties they faced, they would be able to give their all without hesitation.

After the flight touched down in Tisotte, Elise first went back to the villa.

"El, my dear!" Narissa dashed toward Elise and clung to the latter like a koala bear as soon as she saw her. "You're finally back. I miss you so much!"

Elise simply hugged Narissa briefly before pushing her away and asking, "How did you get here?"

"They say distance makes the heart grow fonder; it's been a long time since we met, so let's not dwell on this insignificant thing."

She then took Elise's elbow and smilingly dragged her inside. "Why are you back by yourself? Where's your husband-to-be? Shouldn't you bring him back for me to examine him?"

"It's too late for you to do that," Elise muttered as she sat down on the sofa.

"What do you mean?" Narissa did not understand what she meant.

"We've already registered our marriage," Elise replied calmly.

"What?!" Narissa was so taken aback that she let go of Elise's elbow and leaned back. "Didn't you reach the appropriate age for marriage just recently? Why did you get married so quickly?"

Before Elise could say anything, Narissa continued, as if she was talking to herself, "It must be that b*stard who sweet-talked and lured you into it!"

The more Narissa said, the more she felt that she was right. She then abruptly slapped her thigh and jumped to her feet, exclaiming, "That's ridiculous! Alexander Griffith, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Seeing her demeanor, Elise simply shook her head. "So many years have passed and your incredible imagination remains. He didn't lure me into it; I chose to marry him."

Narissa was still immersed in her own presumption. When she heard Elise's words, she cupped her hands around Elise's face and said, "Please, my dear, you have to stay awake. We're still in our youth. Don't give up your happiness for the rest of your life to please your family!"

Jamie, who was standing by the side, was so amused that he almost burst out laughing.

Narissa's thinking was really one of a kind.

"What exactly are you saying? We date and marry out of love, not because of our families," Elise said as she knocked Narissa's hands away.

"But isn't Alexander one of the Griffiths? And you came to Tissote to marry into the Griffith Family, isn't it?" Narissa asked.

"That's a long story, and I'll tell you about it in the future." Elise then took Narissa's hand in hers and warned, "The situation is now a little more complicated. Now that you've appeared beside me, stay close to me and don't wander around on your own in case you run into trouble. Do you understand?"

Elise was a few months older than Narissa and she treated her like a sister, not wanting anything bad to happen to her.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Narissa had a sharp mind, and she immediately became alert. "Even you can't handle it? Do you want me to seek help from my family?"

"That isn't necessary," Elise said. She then lied, saying, "Some small fries are simply troublesome. It is not a major issue."

Elise had no idea about the person's background until now, and she wasn't sure if the Cuber Family should get involved. Hence, it was preferable for her to draw a clear line with them right now.

"Fine. But if you need it, just let me know. Don't be shy; we're family," Narissa said openly.

"I will," Elise responded with a smile.

"By the way, Elise, I've just arrived in Tisotte and intend to buy a car and leave it at your house so that I have a backup vehicle. Can I?" Narissa inquired.

"Of course you can. You can also use any of the cars in the garage." Elise was, as usual, very generous with Narissa.
