Chapter 329
Elise had no idea what had happened between the mother and son, but one thing was clear: she probably wouldn’t have to worry about her relationship with Madeline in the future. This brought her more joy than escaping from imprisonment.
Both Elise and Alexander stayed at the Griffith Residence for an hour. When they left, Madeline didn’t press her with questions, allowing Elise’s bright mood to continue.
On the way back to Sinclair Residence, Elise could no longer hold herself back. She was all smiles as she looked at Alexander. “Did you hypnotize your mother?” she teased.
A smile tugged at the corners of Alexander’s lips, and he deliberately played along .with her. “Guess.”
“You definitely did.” Elise had been bothered about the situation with Madeline for a long time. Now, she felt unbelievably relaxed. Still, she couldn’t help her curiosity. Dialing down her expression, she attempted to pry the truth from Alexander. “Come on, tell me: what kind of sorcery can make someone have a personality change? I need to learn it.”
Alexander grinned mysteriously. “It’s a secret.”
He was the only one who needed to know about that time when he fought tooth and nail against the world and practically estranged himself from his family. Telling Elise would simply put more stress on her.
Elise rolled her eyes at him balefully before she mulishly turned her head to the side. “Still keeping secrets from me. If you’re not going to say it, then don’t. I’ll keep my secrets from you in the future too.”
Screech
Alexander slammed on the brakes, pulling over by the side of the road.
The sudden stop made Elise lurch forward before her seatbelt catapulted her back firmly into her seat. When she turned around, she saw Alexander looking at her with a sad and hurt look on his face instead of the smug look he had been sporting just before.
“What is it?” Elise was baffled.
