Elizabeth felt wronged and sad, but she didn't know what to say.
She knew that he misunderstood her, but he didn't listen to her explanation.
Just before getting in the car, James was so angry. Elizabeth felt so upset thinking about how he looked.
When Elizabeth was locked up, she wanted James to come to her so badly. But when he did come, the result was just like this. She knew James had a point, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did.
He even asked her what she took him for...
James was so annoyed that he drove very fast.
After a while, he found that she had been silent all the time, so he couldn't help glancing at her from the corner of his eyes. She lowered her head slightly, and he didn't know what she was thinking about. But she looked kind of pathetic and helpless.
James frowned and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth froze. After a long while, she shook her head silently.
"Are you aggrieved? Do you think I said something wrong?" He sneered and stepped on the gas pedal harder.
As soon as she heard that, Elizabeth's grievance in her heart suddenly became so strong, which made her heart ache.
"No..." she answered in a muffled voice. Her voice was very light.
James took a deep breath and turned the steering wheel directly. Then he pulled over.
"Squeak-"
The tires rubbed against the ground with a harsh noise. The sudden inertia made Elizabeth's whole body suddenly leaned forward and then fell back heavily.
Even so, Elizabeth did not say a word. She pressed her lips tightly and her hands were curled up tightly into fists. She trembled slightly.
She hadn't seen him angry for a long time, but today she saw twice in a row. She was very sad, but she couldn't find any words to speak.
James turned his head and reached out to lift her head without thinking, "I said..."
Elizabeth exerted a little strength and did not want him to see her face.
James frowned and increased the strength in his hand, "Raise your head..." Before he could finish his words, his heart trembled when he saw her tearful face, "You..."
Elizabeth glanced at him at a loss and then slightly looked down.
Her tear dripped on his finger. It was just a little warm, but he felt surprisingly hot. It not only burned his hand, but also his heart. He looked at her in shock, and his hand couldn't help trembling. Then he took his hand back stiffly.
"You don't know how surprised and happy I was when I saw you. At that time, what I thought was that you finally came to save and pick me up. At that time, I was so glad that it was you who always stayed by my side in my terrible life..."
"But you got angry, just because I didn't tell you about it. I'm a little sad that you don't even listen to my explanation..." As she said this, her voice uncontrollably choked with sobs, "I'm hungry and afraid. I didn't expect you to ignore me. I'm almost suffocated by the unprecedented despair."
"I'm really scared... I'm afraid that I would lose you when I finally left that place... It... It's even more frightening than letting me stay there..."
When James heard this, the anger in his heart had long dissipated. He took her by the shoulders and held her in his arms, "I'm sorry... I'm a b*stard!"
Elizabeth leaned over in his arms and said nothing.
"I saw you stammering in the morning, but you refused to tell me anything. Later, when I knew those things, I was so angry...1' He closed his eyes, "I thought you didn't love me and didn't rely on me, so you didn't say anything. At that time, I felt like a fool. I was very devoted to you, but I felt like there was a thick wall between us."
"I'm very disappointed and sad. But the most anxious thing is that I can't stand in front of you at the first time to protect you from those things. Can you understand me?"
"I put down my work and came back all the way. I was angry with you, but I was still afraid that you would be bullied."
"When I saw you just now, you looked so bad and like a pitiful little girl. I felt heartbroken and annoyed. At the time, I hated that you didn't tell me, and I also hated that I didn't protect you well enough."
"What I just said may be a little too much. But at that time, before you said these words to me, I really thought so. I've been so devoted to you. Why do you still not trust me? Why don't you believe that I can do anything for you? So, when I saw you, I..."
