What Can We Do to Make Her Happy?,Coolest Girl in Town
Alexander could hardly describe his feelings when he heard Elise’s words, which were spoken gently in
a croaky voice. “Have you made up your mind?” “Well, your mom’s determined to stop me. There’s a
saying that has been true throughout the ages: you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” It was both
appropriate and inappropriate to apply the saying to the present moment, but the saying was true since
Elise and Madeline could never live peacefully together. Alexander didn’t respond, though his black
eyes were full of sorrow. Elise felt bad when she saw him like this, but she could only force herself to
put up an apathetic front at the moment.
She said coldly, “You’re not worried that something might happen to your mom, Alexander. In that case,
don’t you worry that something might happen to me?” Upon hearing her say so, Alexander immediately
got anxious. “Elise—” However, Elise replied, “I’m not joking with you. Right now, I just want to move on
and live my life with Grandpa and Grandma. My engagement to one of the Griffiths was decided by
Grandpa and Grandpa Griffith back then. Now that Grandpa Griffith has passed away and Grandpa
doesn’t want me to marry into the Griffith Family, it’s only a matter of course that our engagement is
annulled.”
She was relieved to see how anxious Alexander looked. Rather than staying together with him
regardless of the consequences, she wanted to see the man doing well. “I’ll clarify the matter between
us, Alexander. Just go back early if you’ve got nothing else to say.” With that, she turned around and
left without looking back, ignoring Alexander no matter how he called out to her from behind. Alexander
wanted to run after Elise, but his legs felt so heavy at this very moment as though they had been filled
with lead. He couldn’t take the first step no matter what… … Elise met Jessica again when she entered
the elevator.
Noticing at a glance that Elise was feeling down, Jessica approached her and asked, “Did you two
have a quarrel?” “It wasn’t a quarrel, actually.” Elise pressed her lips together, though she didn’t feel
any better. It would be fine if she only had a quarrel with Alexander, for they could at least get back
together happily after making up. The awful thing was that they didn’t even have a slim chance of being
together. “What’s the matter, then? Did you two run into some obstacles? We used to tell each other
everything, Elise, so feel free to tell me about it. Don’t suppress your feelings, or you’ll break down
easily.”
Jessica patted Elise on the shoulder. Elise shook her head. It was true that she and Jessica had been
friends who kept no secrets from each other, but they had been separated for years. At the moment,
she no longer had the strength to talk about her relationship with Alexander. Surprisingly, Jessica came
to her the next day and even brought many presents for Robin and Laura. Upon learning that it was
Jessica, Robin and Laura received her cordially.
They even persuaded Elise to hang out with her. Not only that, but they also had their outing mapped
out scrupulously. Elise knew Robin and Laura were worried that she might suffer from depression, and
they thought it good that her childhood best friend could come and keep her company. However, she
really didn’t have much energy for it under the present circumstances. Just then, Jessica asked, “I can
tell that you’re feeling down. You’d better give vent to your emotions, or it’ll be bad if you suffer from
depression. The problem between you and your boyfriend, is it because his family disapproves of his
relationship with you?”
Elise didn’t expect that Jessica would actually guess it right. After a few seconds of shock, she nodded.
“…Yeah.” She’s figured it out already. There’s no point denying, she thought. Jessica encouraged, “If
you two are deeply in love with each other, you shouldn’t be in thrall to the present. The Elise I know
isn’t someone who would be defeated by some minor difficulties!” Elise replied with a sigh, “But his
family spurns me. You didn’t see the extreme lengths his mother had gone to. She even dared to stab
herself with a knife to force him to break up with me.” That scene is really unthinkable. Even now, I’m
still scared, she thought. Jessica asked straightforwardly, “Is his mother mentally disturbed or
something?”
Elise pursed her lips, saying, “Nope. She’s just prone to extreme behavior, and she’s prejudiced
against me. It’s just that I didn’t want to put him in such a difficult position. Anyway, thanks for coming to
see me, Jessica, but I don’t feel like going out these days.” “Well, in that case, all the more you need to
have fun. How about I take you to a party tonight? If you’ve made up your mind, then you should get
over him as early as possible. Don’t let him keep on pestering you either, or you two will torture
yourselves to death, no?” Jessica asked while offering Elise a piece of advice. Elise thought about it for
a moment and finally nodded.
Even though Elise agreed to go to the party with Jessica, she was in no mood to doll herself up, so it
was Jessica who picked her evening dress and put makeup on her. “Look at that long face of yours.
Everyone will know that you’re in a mood if you go out looking like this. Cheer up, sweetie! It’s just a
man, isn’t it? If his family doesn’t approve of you, then find someone whose family does. It’s not like
you can’t marry anyone other than him, anyway!” Jessica advised Elise. Elise knew that Jessica
wouldn’t have advised her like this if they weren’t close. Even so, how can I really do that?
Alexander is the man I gave my heart to, and we broke up not because we no longer love each other or
because one of us betrayed the other… “Let’s go!” She quickly stopped thinking about it. The more she
thought about it, the more her head hurt. At present, she could only find something else to do to divert
her attention. With that, she and Jessica left the Sinclair Mansion. Robin watched the two ladies leave
before letting out a heavy sigh.
“What a poor child Elise is! I thought I could let her live like a princess, but now, she can’t even be
together with the man she loves the most. This is really—” Laura frowned on Robin’s words, though.
She argued, “That only proves that they’re not meant to be together. If they’re meant to be together,
nothing can keep them apart.” Robin nodded silently in agreement. “You’re right. If they’re meant to be
together, nothing can keep them apart.”
Laura replied with a snort, “That’s right, so stop worrying about this. Now, let’s think about how to teach
Madeline a lesson and how to make our Elise happy.” Robin nodded upon hearing Laura’s words, but
he was troubled. “How can we make her happy now that she’s upset? Find her parents? It’s been
almost 20 years, but there’s no news at all…”
