In the small garden, several lights were turned on. Although they were not very bright, he could see the situation inside clearly.
Elizabeth sat on the swing, and he couldn't know what she was looking at. He stood not far behind her and looked at her for a long time, but she did not move.
After a few steps, James stopped in front of her.
Elizabeth had just stared at the ground. Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her sight. Her eyelashes trembled, but she did not lookup.
James stood in front of her and looked at her for another two minutes. He didn't see that she had any intention to look up and talk to him. He coughed softly and said, "Elizabeth, it's cold. Why are you still sitting here?"
He sighed slightly. "Elizabeth..."
As soon as he said this, she still maintained her position just now, but she interrupted what he wanted to say, "James, do you want to put me under house arrest?"
"..." James frowned. "I don't..."
"Don't you?" She smiled. "Who are the two people that suddenly appeared at the door? Can you tell me that they are not your men?"
James also didn't know what to say. Shall he say that he did that because he was so angry at that time?
"James, I'm not a prisoner. I can't accept that."
Thinking of what he was going to tell her, he was afraid of angering her now. He whispered, "I'll let them go right away. Don't be angry."
"Don't be angry?" Hearing this, she couldn't help raising her head. She stared at him for a while, and then said, "You don't want me to go out to work, and you're afraid that I have something to do with other men. You don't trust me, so you sent someone to force me to stay here and prevent me from going out, do you?"
He said to herself a few hours ago that if she didn't do what he said, then don't blame him for what he would do.
Just now, when she wanted to go to find Evelyn, she was "asked" back by the two men who suddenly appeared at home. Then she finally understood what he meant.
"..." He was at a loss for words and did not know how to argue for himself. After all, she was right.
"No matter what method you use, I will finish this case. No matter what you think, I will do this thing according to my will."
She wanted to do that design, which meant she had to meet Leo. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything and just looked at her silently.
Elizabeth endured the bitterness in her heart and said, "In the future, I will finally walk on my own path. You... can't support me for the rest of my life, can you?"
The rest of her life... How beautiful and extravagant those words are! But she would soon be without him for the rest of her life. How long and frustrating such a life would be!
"Elizabeth..." James panicked, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Don't you know it best?" Why did you still play dumb and ask her?
Due to her ambiguous words, he only felt that he was confused by her question. "I know? What do I know?"
"Isn't that person coming back soon? You..." She squeezed her fingers deep in her palm, forcing herself to say it as if she didn't care, "We're breaking up soon, right?"
James frowned more tightly. He didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned that person.
He said in a hurry, "Why do I care if she comes back? Break up? What are you talking about?" He just made up his mind to confess his love to her, but why did she say to him about breaking up?
Elizabeth chuckled, "Didn't you want to introduce a boyfriend to me ?"
"When the hell did I want to introduce a boyfriend to you?" He patted his head irritably and said, "Tell me clearly!"
"Last night... Didn't you ask me if I want to find a boyfriend?"
"That's..." He was depressed, "That's because..." "Well, I know!" She nodded, "Because she's coming back soon, and you've taken back everything for me. So..." She lowered her eyelids, "I should leave here as well, right?"
James suddenly remembered that she seemed to say something to him last night, and he was suddenly driven out of the door by her angrily. What did she ask... Did she ask if that person was coming back? At the time, he seemed to nod.
So, did she misunderstand?
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. "She's back? It's none of my business whether she'll come back or not. Do you want to go? Your home is here. Where do you want to go?"
"..." She didn't know where to go, so maybe she should go back to Liang estate. And this house... would soon no longer be her home, right?
"I'm asking you." He looked at her, "You're still Mrs. Lu. Where do you want to go? "
"..." She still did not speak, but her heart was extremely depressed. She still had that identity, but how long could she have it?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Elizabeth, as I said before, I didn't intend to divorce you since I was married to you. Have you ever heard of it? Even if that person wants to come back, it has nothing to do with me. I have already married, and she has her own life. I can answer that question you just asked clearly. Well, I will support you for the rest of your life." Who was afraid of that? He would like to stay with her for the whole life!
He was like a child who had done something wrong. He talked incoherently and said so much in one breath. He really had no sense of romance to confess his love, and even said that she was stupid...
However, she felt particularly happy. Her heart was hot and full of joy, which was completely filled with this unexpected happiness.
James said so much. When he finally stopped and saw that she didn't say anything and she just looked at him exaggeratedly, he suddenly felt bad. He said eagerly, "I... Hey, I've said so much. Say something, Elizabeth! At least you could nod or shake your head!" She had stopped crying because of what he said just now. Looking at his panic look, Elizabeth endured for a while but still burst into laughter. But the next second, she suddenly cried again with her hand covering her mouth.
"Hey, Elizabeth! Why are you crying again?" It took him a lot of effort to make up his mind to confess her. Why was it so bad? Couldn't she just tell him the results?
She put her hands down and looked at him. Then she sobbed, "You... you b*stard! Why did you ask me if I wanted a boyfriend? How could you try to introduce me to someone else and drive me away..."
He hurriedly said, "In fact, I just want to ask you if you want me to be your boyfriend. It's all my fault for being too shy to say it directly. I will never do that again!"
"You b*stard... You even said she was coming back... I'm so sad..."
Although he felt that he was not wrong, he still apologized. "I'm sorry. But I really didn't say that."
"I... I asked you... And you nodded..."
He confessed sincerely, "It's my fault... It's all my fault. I won't nod my head casually anymore."
"You b*stard... you even... put me under house arrest..."
"Well, I'm a b*stard. I'm just afraid that you'll run away."
"You b*stard... You've made me sad for so long... I think that you don't like me... It's all my... wishful thinking..." James would have continued to admit his mistake, but suddenly he couldn't help but smile because of what she said. Did she mean that she was probably willing to give him a chance? No, it couldn't be said that he might have a chance. He clearly had that chance!
But he had put in all his good words, and his little wife in front of him was still crying and constantly calling him a b*stard.
He really wanted to use something to cover her mouth!
"You..."
"Well, I'm a b*stard! If you call me a b*stard again, I'll... kiss you!"
"You... uh..."
