I Only Want You novel Chapter 339

Zena's hand which was holding the chopsticks paused, but in less than a second, her expression returned to normal. She put the food into Xavier's bowl and turned to Elizabeth with a smile, "Oh. Elizabeth, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."

Elizabeth smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Zena. Your cooking skills are better than me."

At this time, Xavier said, "Pretty good."

He praised the cooking skills, but he didn't express it clearly.

But all the people present knew whose cooking skills he was referring to in an instant.

John and Lydia knew Xavier well. Although they were surprised to hear his words, they only thought that he was just being polite and didn't think too much. However, Zena pressed her lips and didn't say anything, while James frowned.

Elizabeth smiled awkwardly and thanked him. She only felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, so she didn't say anything else and ate silently.

James picked some dishes for Elizabeth and said, "Slow down."

Zena looked at them. After looking away, she glanced at Xavier next to her with the corner of her eye. She smiled and then continued to eat. The lively meal became silent because of this incident, and no one said anything during the meal. Although the atmosphere was not as good as just now, everyone ate more quickly.

After dinner, John suggested everyone to take a seat in the living room.

James wanted to refuse him, but Lydia said, "Just listen to your father. Xavier and you haven't been together for a long time. I asked Auntie Chang to warm the soup for you just now. Sit for a while and drink it before you leave."

Seeing Lydia's concerned look, James knew that she was worried about him and Elizabeth. Besides, it was still early, so he agreed.

They all sat on the sofa in the living room. Xavier and John were talking most of the time. The TV was on and the news was broadcast, but the volume was very small.

Elizabeth sat for a while and went to the kitchen to cut fruits.

Auntie Chang was washing the bowls. When she saw Elizabeth doing what she should do, she said with a smile, "Young Madam, you have done all my work, and Master and Madam will fire me."

"Auntie Chang, don't joke with me!" Elizabeth said while washing fruits, "I sit over there and have nothing to do. In this way, I can help you and feel easy at the same time. It's so good."

"Actually, Miss Meng and Mr. Lu are easy to get along with. They are polite and easy-going."

"Yeah, I know." Auntie Chang stood for a while and said, "Young Madam, the soup I warmed for Young Master is on the stove, and the stewed pear for Mr. Lu is being cooked now. I'm going to water the garden now. Master told me to do that in the afternoon."

Elizabeth nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. Auntie Chang, I'll help you watch it."

Not long after Auntie Chang went out, Elizabeth finished cutting the fruits. She looked at the exquisite fruits on the plate and smiled with satisfaction. When she was about to go out, a voice came from behind her—

Elizabeth nodded. She agreed, but she still took back the fruit tray when she left.

After Elizabeth went to the living room, James looked at Xavier, who was still standing still, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic. But, thank you very much."

Xavier's tone did not change much. He just said blandly, "It's no bother."

James smiled and said, "I should thank you, because you're my cousin, aren't you? But..." As he said this, he looked directly at Xavier who was still smiling, "I think I need to talk to you. I hope that you don't care about Elizabeth too much. Just now, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to stay together like this?"

"Oh?" Xavier put his other hand in his trouser pocket, straightened his back, shook his head gently and replied lightly, "I don't think so." When James heard this, he got angry immediately. He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile face, "Don't you think so? If it wasn't me who came here, but my parents or Zena, what would they think? You said that you wanted to go to the bathroom, but you came to the kitchen?"

Xavier raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What? You can call me my girlfriend so intimately, but can't I just come to the kitchen to get a tea cup?"

"You..." James was so furious but he forced himself not to shout aloud. He tried to endure the anger, but he couldn't control himself. He took a step forward and grabbed Xavier by the collar. Ignoring his image, he said in a low and fierce voice, "Xavier, you scum! You're so hypocritical! You are still the same as before! A leopard can not change its spots!"

Hearing his words, Xavier's calm and fearless eyes changed in an instant. His eyes flashed with anger and a trace of sadness. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "How about you? Are you different from before? You're still so impulsive, aren't you?" After that, he reached out lightly and pulled James's hand which was holding his collar fiercely.

James shook off his hand and said, "I warn you! Stay away from her!"

"What? Did you really fall in love with her?" Xavier said with a mocking smile. He raised his hand and arranged his wrinkled collar. Then he said scornfully, "Don't you love Zena very much?"
