Chapter 240
Before Elise could finish her sentence, Alexander stepped forward right away and closed in on her, driving her into the corner. “Why? Why did you purposely make yourself look ugly? Don’t you know what I hate the most?”
Elise knew what he hated the most, which was why she chose to take the initiative to tell him everything. However, whenever she wanted to tell him the truth, something would always come up and prevent her from doing so. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to deceive you; I just wanted to find a man who doesn’t care about my looks and really loves me from the bottom of his heart. At first, I planned to leave after staying here for a year, but I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that I would fall in love with you.”
Alexander’s brow furrowed. He stared at Elise before him, who seemed at a loss for what to do, but he couldn’t let a single word of accusation come out of his mouth. “So you were the lady I met in France the other day, huh? Miss Joy?”
“It was me! Uh, actually…”
Elise still wanted to say something, but Alexander stretched out his hand right away and stroked her hair. “I didn’t think you’d be so good at disguising yourself. To think that you fooled me with your disguise!”
Elise raised her eyes to look at him. “A-Are you not mad at me anymore?”
Alexander smiled a helpless smile. “Well, I wanted to get mad at you, but somehow, all my anger seemed to vanish when I saw this face of yours.”
“I’m sorry.”
Alexander ruffled her hair. “Alright, don’t say sorry to me. I can understand what you were thinking, actually, and I’m glad that I made you stay and saw the surprise you had for me. I really didn’t expect my fiancée to look so pretty! I’m quite happy deep down, actually. At least no one can gossip with me about your looks anymore.”
