I Only Want You novel Chapter 124

"Hmm?" He did not stop. "What's wrong?"

She did not speak but just shook her head gently.

Nothing. She just wanted to call his name like that...

She put her chin on his shoulder, her arms around his neck, and her legs swayed as he walked.

This was not the first time that they were so intimate. He hugged her before. But this time, because of her position, she could observe him recklessly.

His short and inky hair, his beautiful ears and neck, the smell of sandalwood and smoke on his body, was so clear in such a short distance, enticing all her senses.

"How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time someone has ever carried her like this?"

She's down in her memory lane, "Oh, it seems that the last time I was carried, it's more than ten years ago by my father."

Even if with Theodore Chao, her nominal fiancee later, he had never treated her like this.

She's touched and she wanted to cry. She had been tempted to shed tears several times tonight, in such a short period of two or three hours, all because of him.

For the first two times, she did succeed in forcing the tears back. But now, she made a vain attempt and her tears just fell down.

She didn't want to cry, but her tears didn't listen to her.

The moment before her tears fell, she was afraid that James would find out. She turned her head to one side and wiped her tears on her arm.

When the tears on her arms almost evaporated, she felt that she had regained her composure. Then, she opened her mouth and said, "Am I heavy?"

James snorted with a chuckle. "Yeah, as heavy as a pig!"

"..." She was not mad at him. She raised her lips and smiled silently. "Just now, thank you." If he hadn't come at that time, she would be in much worse shape now, right?

Her soft, waxy voice sounded good to James, who smiled. "You're welcome."

"..." She smiled again. "I... I don't feel so painful now. Why don't you put me down?"

"Good! "He said, but his arm, which was round her leg, drew in.

What a duplicitous guy!

"James..."

"What?" James's surprised.

She had been touched by him many times, and her heartbeat faster close to him.

In fact, she didn't understand love and have no experience in it. She didn't know whether she had fallen in love with him, but she could tell very clearly that she liked him.

She knew she was far from being good enough for him when it came down to it: zero pedigree, zero charisma. She didn't know whether her likes for him would upgrade into love or just fade away. Either way, she's not pleased to hear what he was saying now.

"Just a friend?"

"James said so... Did he never like me, even a little?" Didn't he look down on her, a good- for- nothing person?

Her joy and fantasy had been dashed at this moment...

With those words, James felt that the issues he had been wrestling with had vanished in an instant, and he felt much relieved. And seeing that she did not say anything, he added: "You see what I mean?"

Elizabeth lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth to hold back the disappointment in her heart, "Well, I understand."

And she felt that what she said seemed to be less convincing, and maybe that kind of resentful tone was about to betray her. In order not to let him see anything, she laughed dryly, "Haha... it's great that you think so. I only think that you are my good friend, and friends can be eternal, haha..."

James didn't know why he felt a little unhappy.

He stopped in a hurry and frowned slightly. He asked uncertainly, "Do you... really think so?"
