They drove for a long time. James's face was still dark and he didn't speak. He frowned and no one knew what he was thinking about.
The atmosphere in the car was a little dull.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and said, "James, are you... unhappy?"
"No." James didn't look at her and answered directly.
"Then why don't you say anything?"
"..." He looked at the road ahead. Although there was not much expression on his face, he felt very tangled and angry.
His wife was so cute. So he could never take it lightly! As for that guy, that Leo dare to say that kind of words in front of him who is Elizabeth real husband. That guy has gone too far! James was so pissed off.
He turned back and glanced at his little wife. Then he looked forward again with his eyebrows furrowed even more.
"Well..." He was entangled, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "You seem to have a good relationship with that Leo, right?"
Elizabeth glanced at him and said cautiously, "No, I don't think so." She felt that Leo was even a little annoyed. He was getting a little too close to her that she couldn't stand it.
"Really? He just said... you are his sister?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth only thought they just said it outside the car. She thought for a moment and said helplessly. "Sister? Just now he said that it's OK for me to treat him as my brother." Then she couldn't help looking at his expression again, "But I didn't take it seriously."
Hearing this, James cursed the shameless man several times in his heart. Leo was frivolous, thick-skinned, and annoying. He even said that he wanted to chase Elizabeth. He was just dreaming, wasn't he?
However... he couldn't help but reflect himself silently. Leo and his little wife had only known each other for a few days, and he dared to challenge him in such a hurry. First of all, it proved that his little wife was really popular. Secondly... it also showed that he had not done enough.
He recalled the skills and experience he had just learned. In short, it meant that it was better to do more things than to say a lot of good words. Of course, it was also important for him to be a little thick-skinned. Only a thick-skinned person can get more for himself.
And now it's time for him to make his move!
"Okay." James smiled and turned to looked at her, "You don't have to take it seriously with that guy."
After that, he asked her again, "What did you play in the amusement park just now?"
"Nothing. When I just got there, they told us they need to repair." James nodded. "Do you want to play?"
"What?"
"Didn't you say that you didn't play anything? Do you still want to go?"
Elizabeth shook her head, "Forget it. I don't really want to."
"So you've been here before, haven't you? What do you like best?"
She answered without thinking, "The merry- go-round!"
Hearing this, James couldn't help laughing. He reached out and rubbed her hair, "You still say you don't want to play?"
Elizabeth also felt that she answered too fast, as if she was disappointed that she didn't have a good time there. She smiled awkwardly and said, "You just asked me what I used to like, so I..."
"They can't take photos for you anymore, but you still have me. I can take a lot of photos for you. You can't find them again, but you can find me."
She had just heard the same words from Leo. But she didn't know whether it was because of the wrong time or the wrong environment. When she heard Leo's words, she almost had no other feelings. But now, when she heard what James said, her heart was greatly moved.
Yes, she still had him.
James saw that she did not speak, and he continued to say, "I know you may have some contradictions now. But Elizabeth, we can't live in the past forever. Come out and have a look, and then you will find that it is not difficult. If you like it, then just try it. Don't you want to have me in your memory of your favorite thing?"
"..." Elizabeth pursed her lips to calm down the emotion in her heart and the expectation that was aroused by what he said. She looked at him and said softly, "James..."
"What about you just have a try?" He grabbed her hands and put them on his lap, "If you still don't like it and feel sad at that time, then we just leave there, okay?"
Elizabeth nodded,"... Okay."
Then just give it a try. Just like what he said, maybe it was not that difficult. Moreover, even if it was difficult, she still had him, didn't she?
When they went to the Imperial Gourmet for dinner, James seemed to have sent a message to someone. Later, he called someone again. Elizabeth only heard him say, "Well, do as what I said just now."
After dinner, it was 7:30 p.m.
He still took care of her all the way as he did before. When she almost finished eating, he ate a little in a hurry and then took her out.
Until she got on the car, Elizabeth realized that it was not the way home. So she asked in confusion, "Where are we going? Don't we go home?" In this direction, it seemed...
When they were just at the intersection with the red light on, James stopped the car and kissed Elizabeth on the cheek, "Well, let's go to the amusement park and play your favorite merry-go-round."
