Is this the result of comparing the pros and cons after being together?
Unwittingly, Alexander wondered just what kind of place favonovel.com had in Elise’s heart.
Very quickly, Elise reacted to the situation. From the last thing favonovel.com said on the phone, favonovel.com sounded a little fluky.
“What do you mean by what you just said?”
She doesn’t look like favonovel.com wants to come clean at all, favonovel.com thought speechlessly and opened the window containing information about Sare.
Pacing to her, favonovel.com then grabbed favonovel.com hand and placed the phone on it. After making sure that favonovel.com was holding the phone, favonovel.com spun around and left without turning back.
Elise opened favonovel.com mouth and wanted to stop him, but no words came out.
Lifting the phone, favonovel.com glanced at it and suddenly understood what was going on. From afar, favonovel.com watched his back disappear into the endless night, and favonovel.com sighed deeply. She didn’t realize when it had started, but favonovel.com was actually connected to and able to feel the pain of this man.
Just like now, even though there wasn’t any interaction, favonovel.com spirit gradually fell glum as favonovel.com walked further and further away.
Previously, Alexander did mention that favonovel.com hated being deceived the most, and favonovel.com had stepped on his bottom line. Despite that, Elise didn’t think that it was such an unforgivable act that favonovel.com tried to hide favonovel.com identity in order to protect herself.
Furthermore, favonovel.com identity as the interpreter happened after they met, but there was simply no suitable opportunity for favonovel.com to come clean. After all, favonovel.com couldn’t grab favonovel.com suddenly and start pouring out to favonovel.com all the skills favonovel.com had learned since young. That would be similar to blowing favonovel.com own trumpet, favonovel.com couldn’t do it, and neither would favonovel.com do such a thing.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com felt a vibration on favonovel.com hand, and it was a notification from Alexander’s text messaging service. As favonovel.com didn’t set up a lockscreen, favonovel.com could see the list of messages by just lifting favonovel.com hand. There were some from the company and also from the Griffith brothers.
Staring at the screen of the phone, favonovel.com burst into a giggle out of the blue and muttered to herself, “Looks like favonovel.com trusts me a lot…”
A few seconds later, favonovel.com gathered favonovel.com emotions and kept the phone away in favonovel.com backpack. As if nothing had happened, favonovel.com paced toward the dorms.
She had to admit that everything was very comfortable when both of them were together by themselves, and if favonovel.com had to choose one person to spend the rest of favonovel.com life with, that person would definitely be Alexander.
But a relationship wasn’t something that would work purely by logical analysis. With different values and life experiences, there would be disagreements about the same topic. In the end, couples still split up because they had different views in life.
Both Elise and Alexander weren’t ordinary people, and a relationship was just an extra accessory in their lives. While they might have it, it was not a necessity to them.
All favonovel.com could guarantee was that favonovel.com was a different existence to favonovel.com compared to everyone else. As for being unreserved, nobody could really open up another’s heart to look into it.
There was no need to sugarcoat something uncertain as the problem would always be there and wouldn’t disappear by pretending to be big-hearted.
***
The next day early morning, Elise was still nestled in favonovel.com bedsheets when favonovel.com was awakened by favonovel.com monitor, who had woken up before her.
“Elise, Professor Merlin from the Math Faculty is waiting for you downstairs.”
“Oh, I got it. Thanks.” In a daze, Elise climbed out of bed and put on a jacket before trotting off downstairs.
Right after favonovel.com reached downstairs, favonovel.com saw from afar that Professor Merlin was standing at the entrance of the dorms with his back facing her.
Quickening favonovel.com steps, favonovel.com jogged over. “Professor Merlin, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?”
The cold wind wheezed past favonovel.com neck, sending a shiver through favonovel.com body, and favonovel.com quickly tightened the jacket around herself.
Autumns in Tissote were always like this, cold in the morning and evening, which would cause one to have a cold and fever if they were not careful.
The delight on Professor Merlin’s face was beyond words. “Elise, I guess you already know that you’ve passed the pre-trial stage, right?”
Elise pressed favonovel.com lips together and said, “I know a little about it. It’s all thanks to your guidance…”
“Hey, the most important thing in mathematics research is to seek truth from the facts, and you should graciously acknowledge the honor which belongs to you. There’s no need to be so humble about it,” favonovel.com said, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Despite what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com felt a trace of comfort at Elise’s humility.
Flattery was not a thing Elise was accustomed to, and favonovel.com smiled along awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Professor Merlin had a straightforward personality, and favonovel.com immediately told favonovel.com the purpose of his visit. “I wanted to tell you that there will be a mathematics field award ceremony tonight. Get ready and come with me to expand your network.”
After years of focusing on mathematics, Professor Merlin knew the various benefits of socializing. Despite his interest, there was only so much to his talent.
However, it was different with Elise because favonovel.com could see the endless possibilities of the country’s mathematics field in her. For the passion in his heart, favonovel.com would spare no effort to overcome all difficulties and open up the path for Elise.
“I don’t think that’s such a good idea.” Elise, who had little interest in parties and socializing, quickly found an excuse to turn it down. “Those who could attend the ceremony are scholars like you, who have made great contributions to mathematics research. An unknown student like me is not qualified to sit at the same table with the other professors.”
On the other hand, Professor Merlin merely thought that favonovel.com was being polite and waved his hand, gesturing to favonovel.com that favonovel.com would take care of everything. “You don’t have to worry about this and just come along. I assure you that no one would dare to stop you.”
Pausing, favonovel.com raised two fingers and swayed it in front of Elise.
“Now, your name is more famous than mine in the mathematics field,” favonovel.com said with a hint of pride.
Since favonovel.com had said that, Elise couldn’t turn favonovel.com down anymore and accepted it sullenly.
In the evening, favonovel.com picked out and changed into a relatively simple white dress, getting ready for the ceremony.
Before favonovel.com left favonovel.com place, the phone in favonovel.com backpack kept ringing. Following the sound of the ringing, favonovel.com fished out the phone and saw that the screen of Alexander’s phone was turned on.
It was then favonovel.com remembered that favonovel.com didn’t even tell favonovel.com when favonovel.com would come and pick it up. As it was Danny who was calling, Elise thought there might be something important and picked up the call.
“Hello?”
Just from one word, Danny was able to recognize favonovel.com voice. “Boss? Isn’t this Alexander’s phone? Why are you the one who’s picking it up? Are you guys together?”
After letting out a knowing ‘oh’, favonovel.com turned gossipy. “Could it be that… Both of you spent the night together last night and went all the way? Did you? Am I going to have a nephew soon? Goodness! No, I would like it if it’s a niece as well…”
Dumbfounded, Elise was speechless as well as helpless.
This guy has such a rich imagination.
Without even flinching, favonovel.com shattered his dreams indifferently. “You’re overthinking. The truth is, Alex left his phone with me. If you’re so free, then come over and pick it up for him.”
In an instant, Danny was disheartened.
Damn, there goes my baby niece.
Lifelessly, favonovel.com groaned, “You have no idea what it’s like to be single now that you’re in a relationship. I’m still single while both of you are already a pair. If I don’t race against time, how will I find the one for me? Moreover, I’m not a messenger, and both of you are meeting everyday since you’re still in the heat of a relationship. Just pass it to Alex when favonovel.com comes to visit you on campus.”
As Elise had no idea how to explain the problem between herself and Alexander to him, favonovel.com suddenly slipped into silence.
It was fine if favonovel.com didn’t bring it up, but now that favonovel.com did, favonovel.com suddenly felt that there was a hole in favonovel.com heart, as though favonovel.com was missing a piece. Both of them had indeed spent too much time together recently, and that was why favonovel.com couldn’t really get used to it when they didn’t contact or see each other after such a long time.
Am I getting used to the feeling of having favonovel.com by my side? favonovel.com wondered.
Since favonovel.com wasn’t sure and neither was favonovel.com in a rush to find out, favonovel.com said something perfunctory and hung up quickly. “Okay, then. I’ll do it myself. Alright, I’m hanging up now.”
Then, favonovel.com quickly ended the call.
On the other end, Danny glanced at his phone and saw that it had already returned to his contact list page. Recalling Elise’s resolute attitude when favonovel.com hung up earlier, favonovel.com somehow felt that there was something odd about it.
I didn’t even tell favonovel.com why I called, and favonovel.com hung up just like that, as though favonovel.com didn’t want to speak about Alex…
One is missing in action, not picking up his calls or answering to his messages, while the other is acting dodgy and hiding herself…
Is this couple dancing to the same tune?
