I Only Want You novel Chapter 307

"I..." Adele stood still as if there were roots on her feet, and she could not move. The expression on her face was complex. In the end, she could only squeeze out the words that she could think of, "Elizabeth... give it back to me, please."

James looked over and saw Elizabeth holding a pair of baby shoes in her hands. He frowned and looked at Adele again. There was a silent inquiry.

"Well..." Elizabeth looked at Adele and said, "Didn't you say that this was a present for your friend?" She didn't say the rest of the words, but the doubts in her heart were growing.

Since the last time she met her in the mall with Lydia, more than half a month had passed. She didn't send it out, maybe because of the absence of her friends or she was too busy to give it out. But she took this with her at the very moment when she ran away from home, which was a little bit...

"I..." Adele wanted to say something, but in the end, she just pursed her lips, not knowing how to say it.

After all, James had been working in the business circle for many years, and he was such a big multinational company leader. He only took a few glances, then he narrowed his eyes. "Adele, what's going on?"

Adele was still in a daze and shock when James suddenly asked her. She shook her head and said, "I'm just in a bad mood..." "That's not what I'm asking." James raised his hand and pointed at the baby shoes Elizabeth was holding in her hand. "Don't you think you should explain this?"

"I..." Adele pursed her lips. "This... This is a present I bought for my friend... Elizabeth was there as well. We picked it together."

"Oh?" James raised his eyebrows and glanced at the bag that had just been picked up by Elizabeth. He snorted and said, "You are really good to your friend. Even when you ran away from home, you didn't forget to bring the gift you bought for her!"

Adele didn't dare to look at him at all and only replied, "Yes... yes!"

James smiled and nodded, looking a little careless. The next second, his face suddenly changed. He lifted his foot and kicked hard on the tea table in front of him. The table was so heavy, but he still kicked it far away.

"Adele Sheng!"

There was a hint of helplessness in his angry roar, but his voice was so loud that even Elizabeth was shocked.

Adele was shocked by this sudden roar. Her body couldn't help trembling and her face turned pale.

James suddenly stood up. "Am I so easy to be cheated? Don't forget that I was the one who watched you grow up." What he meant was that he knew at a glance whether she was lying or not.

Although Adele was close to him, Isaac, and Benjamin, she was still eight or nine years younger than him. Besides, they were childhood playmates. Therefore, he had watched her grow up.

Elizabeth looked at James, whose face was ashen, and quickly stood up. "James, can't you talk with her nicely?"

Hearing this, James sneered and said, "I'm trying to! But how can I calm down when she replied like that?" Then, he looked at Adele again. There was a hint of disappointment in his voice, "Adele, have you ever thought of me as your big brother?"

She was indeed running away from home, but she was in a hurry when she left. In addition to the bag, she only took her ID card and a few hundred dollars with her. She had been living in hotels these days, and even hotels were the cheapest ones. She didn't have much money and dared not to waste.

She thought that she would go back to bring some clothes and other documents two days later. But today, she was really hungry, so she went out to buy food. When she left the hotel, she habitually went to close the window. With a casual glance, she saw a few people in suits walking into the hotel. Without second thinking, she took her own things and ran away from the back door. Because she knew one of them, who was the bodyguard of the Old Master Bai.

She couldn't go back to the hotel, and she couldn't find a place to live outside. She was afraid that she would be taken away as soon as she moved in. Moreover, she didn't have much money.

After thinking for a while, she came to James's house. But standing at the door, she was afraid. She didn't know whether she should come in or not. She didn't know whether Brother Jimmy would contact the Bai family or not...

At last, she came in. She thought Jimmy would agree with her staying, but she didn't expect that he also wanted to send her back. It was not easy for her to escape from the Bai family. How could she go back?

Looking at Adele's desperate face, Elizabeth felt a twinge of pain in her heart. She walked over and pulled her. "Adele, don't get too excited. Have a seat first, will you?"

Adele wanted to shake her head and refuse, but after thinking for a while, she nodded.

"Adele." James sighed and softened his tone unconsciously. "I don't care why you are doing this. Don't you know it's wrong? You are not a child anymore. Sometimes you should think about it carefully before you do things. Do you know how anxious Isaac has been looking for you these two days?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Adele's mouth curled into a mocking smile. "He's looking for me?"
