Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 62

Liesel had already gotten into the car before Elijah could continue rambling.

As it was Elijah, even the color of his car was striking. It was a pink sports car, a shade that even Liesel wouldn't have chosen.

However, his choice of car somewhat suited him perfectly.

"I just told Ms. Zucker that I really like you and am pursuing you. So, I've got her blessing," Elijah said with a cheeky smile.

Liesel didn't even want to look at him and felt an urge to call him insane.

Elijah suddenly asked, "It's your father's birthday today. How about I join you? I'm the new CEO of Hardin Group, I won't embarrass you."

The Hardins might not be able to be as influential as the Ford family, but they weren't far behind. He firmly believed he was no less capable than Jacob. At least in understanding women, he thought he had Jacob beat.

When they hit a red light, Elijah followed the rules and stopped the car on the roadside. He chuckled and said, "Look at us, me in all black and you in all white. We'd make a perfect pair to celebrate Jeffrey's birthday. We're like the bad luck that would make anyone uncomfortable."

Just the sight of them would be enough to make people uneasy.

Liesel glanced at him but didn't refuse. She clearly agreed with his suggestion.

He asked again, "Should I buy a gift since it's his birthday?"

Irritated, Liesel rubbed her temples and said, "Elijah, how long has it been since you last talked to anyone? How can you have so much to say? Don't people around you find you annoying?"

Liesel let out a laugh. She was annoyed by his words.

With a hint of wisdom, Elijah continued, "I send a gift to my useless father on his birthday every year. However, most of them are near-expiry goods. I've got a VIP card here, and these almost-expired health supplements don't cost me a penny. Not a cent spent, and I still look like a good son.

"He can't complain about it when he sees it. And if he goes around telling people, there would be no end to the gossip. In the end, it's the birthday person who ends up frustrated and irritated."

Elijah's thorough planning made Liesel wonder how many times he'd annoyed his father with this tactic.

As they reached the health supplement section, Elijah even leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Once, I even gave Uriah, that idiot, a bunch of fake jewelry. That fool still thinks it's real."

Liesel couldn't quite understand but was thoroughly impressed. Realizing the amount of thought behind his actions, she couldn't help but admit this guy was a genius.
