Coolest Girl in Town Chapter 752

Christopher was even more sincere with his feelings compared to the time he confessed in the garden.

Besides, his eyes shone with a new sense of determination as he had burned his bridges.His eyes told
everyone of his love for Yuri.

However, Yuri was unable to form an answer as she was facing a dilemma.She didn't have the
opportunity to finish her words last time, which was to tell him she only liked him as a friend.

Seeing the excited Christopher, she couldn't bring herself to tell him the harsh truth.He took her silence
as a protest of his lack of sincerity, so he took out a small box from his pocket in panic and showed it to
her.

"I've even prepared the ring! Yuri, I want you to understand that I'm not acting on impulse.’’

At that, he got down on one knee while his hands were still presenting the ring to her.

"Will you spend the rest of your life with me?"

Yuri gave him a smile of resignation and tried to help him from the ground but before her hands could
touch Christopher, someone rushed out from the side.

That person snatched the ring from him and strode away from them.

As Yuri turned her head to see who it was, she saw Brendan throwing the ring out of the window with
all his might.It was too late for Christopher to stop Brendan.

The former leaned on the windowsill as he poked his upper body out from the window to look for the
ring, but it was nowhere to be found.



Brendan turned to look at them with a blank expression, but his eyes were burning with ice-cold anger
and resentment.

"Alexander is still in danger.How dare you act all lovey-dovey before my eyes as if it doesn’t matter to
you?! The Griffith Family doesn't need guests like you.Please leave now”

"Brendan Griffith!"

Christopher pounced on him and pushed him against the wall while grabbing him by the collar.

"You went overboard!"

"Do it."

Brendan grabbed Christopher's wrist and looked at him with a dark expression, ready for any moves
Christopher would land on him.

"What happened?"

Just as Elise stepped out from the corner, she saw the commotion.

"It's nothing"

Yuri interrupted before any of them could answer as she walked toward Christopher and pulled him
away from Brendan.

Then, Yuri bowed at Elise as she apologized, "I'm sorry, Mrs.Griffith.We can't help much when you are
in trouble, so we'll set off today to avoid causing further problems.Then, Yuri signaled Christopher with
a look and both of them went back to their rooms to pack up their things.

Soon, Brendan and Elise were the only ones who remained in the corridor.



The unspoken thoughts of being about to part ways with Yuri were hanging between them.

"Are you happy now for chasing her away?"

Elise sighed before she lifted her chin to watch Brendan as she gave him her advice.

"You're Alexander's brother, so I treat you like my own brother too.I know I should not meddle in your
business, but I want to tell you my opinion.Love needs tenderness to nurture.Some people will treat it
with harsh attitudes and words, but it seldom bears fruit.If you push her away too hard, you can't expect
her to come back to you."

"Do you expect me to be a gentleman and see her wearing the ring? Do you expect me to wish them a
happy ever after life?"

Brendan wasn't listening to her advice.

"I can't do that,'' he went into his room after he finished his words.

Elise could only shake her head.

Love is uncontrollable.

At that moment, an incoming call steered her attention away from the incident.She glanced at the
called ID and rejected the call.

After she shoved the device into her pocket, she walked down the stairs as if nothing happened.

Elijah called Elise thrice in an hour, but she never once answered his call.

Losing his patience, he finally got out of his car and walked into the Griffith Residence.



Most of the family members were staying on the second floor for the time being, which was why he
didn't see any of them when he stepped into the hall.

When he heard a sound from the kitchen, he walked toward there to check on the source.

It was at that moment he found Elise had an apron around her waist and was working in the kitchen.

Elijah stood there for a while to watch her.

As if she sensed his presence, she raised her head to look around, thereafter making eye contact with
him.She scowled involuntarily when she saw him.She put down the tableware and walked toward him.

"Why are you here? I already have the divorce papers.You don't need to rush me.I want to cook for
Alexander one last time.Please wait outside"

"I saved your family’s lives.Is it too much to ask you to cook for me?"

Elijah wore a lopsided smile on his face and he didn't even plan to leave.

"Besides, it'll be different if I'm the one who tells them you are leaving.Not only will they not accuse you,
they will also find your sacrifice a noble act.You see, I'm thinking for your sake."

"If you're trying to be considerate, how about we put the deal in void?"

Elise didn't bother to beat around the bush but pointed out his hypocrisy instead.

"That won't do."

Elijah scratched his brow and said slyly, "Even a god will collect their offerings from their followers.If I
don't get any repayment, I can no longer help you.Elise, you should not act against me"

She rolled her eyes at him and began to push him away.



"I don't want them to know the deal between us.Leave now"

"Wait a minute."

A weak but deep voice reached them all of sudden.

Both of them turned to find Alexander, who was leaning on Brendan to walk down the stairs.

"Ellie."

Alexander addressed her tenderly and his eyes held a well of fondness.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going out of town for some matters."Elise saw no point in hiding the truth, so she decided to spill
the beans.

"How long will you be away?" he asked, to which Elise replied, "Three months"

Alexander took another step down the stairs as he suggested, "I'll go with you."

"No!"

As soon as Alexander heard her declination, he stopped, but she continued anyway, "You need to
rest.Besides, you need to take care of the family for me."

He didn't answer for a while.

In the end, he raised his head and feigned a weak smile.

"I hope you don't have to go."



Elise's stomach churned at his plea and she felt like suffocating.

The corner of her lips turned upward bitterly as she teased halfheartedly, "I can't stay.I made a promise
and I need to fulfill it.You know what kind of person I am"

Alexander's understanding of Elise told him there was more to what she said.

Besides, she wanted him to stay behind.

After a long time of internal struggle, he responded calmly, "Alright, then.I'll see you in three months.I'll
be waiting for you."

"Good."

Tears clouded Elise's vision.

"I've made some soup for you.Remember to have it before you go to bed"

"Alright."

Alexander took her advice to heart.

"I'll take care of myself when you're not here."

Elise smiled through her tears, but her eyes betrayed her longing and reluctance to leave.

However, she collected herself soon and turned her back on them to leave without hesitation.She knew
the longer she stayed, the more reluctant she would be to leave.

Elijah followed behind her too, and they both left the Griffith Residence.

As soon as they were out of sight, Alexander could no longer stand still and he fell forward.



"Alexander!"

Even though Brendan tried his best, he was too late to reach Alexander.

Alexander had knocked his head on the ground before Brendan helped him to a sitting position.He fell
unconscious moments after that.
