The streetlights from the courtyard to the gate were hazy.
Elizabeth stood in front of the French window, staring at James all the way to the gate.
Outside the gate stood a woman. Because of the light, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but it could be seen that she was wearing a white long dress, with her long hair softly scattered.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and unconsciously clenched her fists. She was so nervous that her heart seemed to be gripped tightly by someone.
"It's so late... Who's going to find James?"
Such a situation had never happened before.
To be honest, when James proposed to let her go with him, she had thought about agreeing, but she was a little nervous, so she refused.
In the past, it was she who need his help. She also thought that there was no true love between the two of them, so she didn't dare to ask too much about his affairs. After they fell in love with each other, he treated her even better, and she really didn't think about anything else. In addition, he always said that he was picky, so he didn't even look up to ordinary people...
But now, the woman was slim and looked for him at his house at such a late time... Was it that woman he loved came back? "Mrs. Lu..."
Elizabeth did not look back."... What?"
Jane stood at the entrance of the living room and looked at the outside. Then, she hesitated and said, "Well... don't think too much about it. She might be Mr. Lu's friend."
As soon as she said that, she felt she was really silly and seemed to make things worse and worse.
How could a female friend come to his house in the middle of the night? Even without calling before that. Moreover, she didn't ring the doorbell and only hovered outside. This must be...
Nowadays, society was complicated, and many young girls were trying to find shortcuts. Not to mention James's identity and status, just his handsome appearance, there must be countless women who wanted to have an affair with him.
She had been working here for a period of time. Elizabeth was kind as a hostess. And she was almost the same age as Jane's daughter. Despite her was employed by the family, Jane really regarded Elizabeth as her daughter.
However, she just didn't know what she could say to comfort Elizabeth...
Jane was anxious and a little annoyed. "Madam, oh! I'm not very good with words... I..."
Elizabeth lowered her eyes to hide her worries. With a light smile, she turned to the vexed Jane and said, "I know, Jane. As you said, maybe it's his friend. I'm fine, you can go and do your own stuff."
Jane looked at her. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She was afraid that she would end up blabbering nonsense and make the whole thing complicated in the end. She sighed and turned into the kitchen.
After seeing Jane enter the kitchen, Elizabeth bit her lip and sat down on the sofa, not daring to look out the window.
Was she just a friend of him?
Her face was very calm, but her heart was perturbed and uneasy.
She was afraid that the person was really the one James had loved for many years. Or someone had an ambiguous relationship with James...
No matter which one it was, she could not accept it. If it was the latter, it meant that he was not as good as he said before, but if it was the first situation... she was afraid it was even more difficult for her to face them.
That person...
Elizabeth's eyes widened and her lips moved. Then, she forced out a smile. "Ad... Adele?"
Adele stood there with a bag in hand. She twitched her lips awkwardly and said, "Elizabeth."
Elizabeth looked at the red- rimmed Adele in confusion. Then, she looked at James and asked, "What... what's going on?"
James did not respond to her. After walking into the living room, he turned around and said to Adele, "Sit down!"
Elizabeth pursed her lips and saw that Adele walked over and sat on the sofa obediently without saying anything.
"What the hell are you doing on? Adele Sheng!" James sat on a single sofa and stared at Adele seriously.
Elizabeth had seen James unhappy twice today, but they were different. First, it was Zena, and now it was Adele. To be honest, she actually had a good impression of Adele, but she really didn't know why she came, and she didn't know why James was unhappy with her. But seeing that James didn't answer her, she had to suppress the panic and curiosity in her heart and also sat down.
Adele waited for quite a while before gently shaking her head. "I didn't do anything."
James sighed gloomily and said, "You disappeared without saying a word. I called you and you turned off your phone. What are you doing? Do you know how anxious we are?" After answering Isaac's call yesterday, he tried to call her. He also called her several times in the daytime today, but he only received the reply of the turn off.
"I..." Adele bit her lips. After which, she bitterly laughed, "I am only in a bad mood... therefore..."
"Oh! Are you in a bad mood?"
