Totally Different
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.” Elise pouted her lips.
“Don’t tell me you disliked me for being ugly before!” Before she could finish her sentence, though,
Alexander sealed her lips with a kiss. She immediately slapped his shoulder, saying, “Mmm… Let go of
me!” Alexander replied, “I’ve never disliked you before, Elise. I never disliked you and will never do that
in the future either, so don’t say something like that anymore. You’ve got no idea that when I saw your
face, I started to worry that other men would like you and have eyes for you. I wish I could hide you in
my pocket so that no one else but me could admire your beauty.”
Embarrassed by what he said, Elise immediately pushed him away. “What are you talking about?” “You
have no idea how many surprises you’ve given me. Sometimes I wonder what kind of a fabulous
girlfriend I have. I think I got a great bargain!” Elise reached out and held his hand. “Thanks, Alexander.
Thanks for choosing me.” Madeline was quite happy at first when she saw Alexander and Elise quarrel.
However, when it was time for dinner, the couple had already made up, and they were getting along
much better than before. This made Madeline puzzled as to what young people nowadays were
thinking. She called Elise over, saying, “Come here, Elise.” Elise hurriedly stopped what she was doing
and walked up to Madeline.
“Is something the matter, Mrs. Griffith?” Madeline rubbed her shoulder, saying, “I don’t know what’s
wrong, but I keep feeling sore in my arm. Could you help give me a massage if you’ve got nothing to
do?” Seeing that it wasn’t a big deal, Elise replied in agreement, “Sure, Mrs. Griffith. Let’s sit on the
sofa while I give you a massage.” With that, Madeline and Elise went to the living room. Elise asked,
“Which side of your neck feels uncomfortable, Mrs. Griffith?”
However, Madeline replied coldly, “Just give me a massage.” Her attitude and tone of voice was totally
different from just now. Elise was puzzled, but she stretched out her hands and started massaging
Madeline’s neck nonetheless. Madeline searched for something on her cell phone before she said,
“Elise, your engagement to Alex was decided by Dad. He passed away unexpectedly without any last
words, but he insisted that you be engaged to Alex, so I let Alex get engaged to you since I wanted to
comply with the old man’s last wish at the time.
But when it comes down to it, a lady of your background isn’t good enough for our family at all.” Elise
couldn’t help but stop what she was doing. Instead of getting angry, she merely asked, “In your opinion,
Mrs. Griffith, what kind of woman is good enough for your family?” Just then, Madeline happened to
find a picture of her business partner’s only daughter, who was also her previous favorite candidate for
a daughter-in-law. Without the slightest hesitation, she showed the photo to Elise on her cell phone,
saying, “Well, she should at least be someone like this.
This is the daughter of the SK Group’s boss. You know the SK Group, right? It’s a large trinational
consortium that has been a long-time business partner with the Griffiths. Only a lady from such a
background is good enough for Alex.” Elise glanced at the lady in the photo. Indeed, the lady looked
very beautiful and refined. “You’re right, Mrs. Griffith. I’m not good enough for Alex indeed. In that case,
why don’t you ask him to call off the engagement on his own?” Madeline became furious when she
heard Elise say so. Alexander’s engagement was decided before Jonah’s death, and as Alexander’s
mother, Madeline knew better than anyone else how obedient her son was to Jonah.
Moreover, Alexander’s engagement to Elise wasn’t an ordinary request, but Jonah’s dying wish. With
Alexander’s personality, he’d never take the initiative to call off the engagement unless Elise brought it
up herself. “Miss Sinclair, I’m telling you this today to help you understand the gap between you and
Alex. Alex’s a filial child, so he won’t disobey his grandpa.” However, Elise retorted, “Do you mean you
could only try to persuade me—an outsider who has no blood ties with your family—because you failed
to persuade your own son?” “I just want you to know your place! You aren’t a good match for Alex.
You can’t help him with his career at all. Instead, you can only make outsiders look down on him and
make him a laughing stock and a subject of gossip. People out there will laugh at us Griffiths because
our eldest son married a country bumpkin!” “Mrs. Griffith, I admit that I haven’t seen much of the world
as someone from the countryside, but I never think that people from the countryside are born inferior to
others. In fact, I feel that we country folks are more humane.” “Who cares whether or not you’re
humane?
I’m telling you, I don’t care what happened between you and Alex before, but now that I’m back, let me
make it clear to you that I don’t wanna see you two together. If you insist on staying with him, then don’t
blame me for using some means as a last resort.” Upon hearing this, Elise totally understood what
Madeline meant. She let go of Madeline’s shoulder and slowly replied, “Mrs. Griffith, I’m showing you
respect because you’re Alex’s mother.
I wish to get your approval and your blessing, but I won’t force it if I can’t get them. After all, the world is
boundless, so there are different strokes for different folks. But if you want me to break up with your
son, then sorry, I don’t think I can do that. If you’ve got nothing else to talk about, I think we can end our
conversation here.” Madeline looked at her with a sneer. “Do you think you could stand against me with
those so-called feelings between you two?
Well then, let me tell you clearly that feelings are the last thing worth mentioning to me. Since you’re so
determined to stay together with Alex, I’ve got nothing else to say. Still, let me remind you that nothing
in the world is immutable, especially a man. After all, a man’s career is the source of his pride and
confidence.”
