I Only Want You novel Chapter 356

Seeing that Xavier was about to come

out, Elizabeth wanted to find a place to hide, because it was not proper for her to eavesdrop on this kind of dispute in a rich family.

Moreover, Xavier was a famous painter, and he was James's cousin. If he knew that she had been eavesdropping here, it would be really

embarrassing...

She wanted to run away, but her legs froze, so she could only stand there in a daze.

Xavier walked out of the house dejectedly and quickly. When he looked up and saw Elizabeth standing not far from the door, he stopped and was stunned.

After a while, he smiled, "Elizabeth?"

"Xavier, well..." Elizabeth smiled awkwardly, and she didn't know what to say at this time. Although she eavesdropped indeed, she knew that she couldn't admit it. Otherwise, it couldn't be more embarrassing. "I didn't follow you, and I came here to make a wish... Just now, I didn't hear anything! I... just came here to get out of the rain, really!"

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to her, she turned her head awkwardly and looked at the pouring rain. She said exaggeratedly, "Alsa! Why does it rain so hard all of a sudden? It's so annoying!"

At this time, the door was closed from inside, and the sound of the door being locked came.

Xavier tilted his head and pursed his lips tightly. After a long while, he looked at Elizabeth who was awkward and smiled silently. There was no shame or anger but some joy in his eyes. He even seemed to be a little... happy.

He raised his hand and then put it down. After pausing for a moment, he raised his hand again and reached out to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was still embarrassed. Seeing Xavier's movement, she shivered and immediately wanted to avoid him, for fear that he would slap her.

But her movement was too slow. He touched her head naturally all of a sudden, and he smiled gently as if he was comforting her, "It doesn't matter."

His movements made Elizabeth's body freeze completely as if someone had hit the certain acupoints on her body that she could no longer move. Besides, what he said made her even more confused. She was stunned for a long time before she asked in a daze, "What?"

Hearing that, Xavier said again, "I said, it doesn't matter. Even if you have heard it, it doesn't matter, because it is you."

Elizabeth frowned, and then slowly raised her head and stared at Xavier, "Don't you mind it?"

As soon as she said that, she bit her lip in annoyance. Since she asked like this, didn't it mean that she indirectly admitted that she had heard everything and lied to him just now?

She really had egg on her face! "It doesn't matter. It's a real thing, isn't it?" As he said this, he smiled lightly and withdrew his hand, "In fact, I thought Jimmy had told you about this."

Seeing that he had got his hand off her, Elizabeth suddenly felt relaxed. Hearing his words, she shook her head and said, "No! He didn't tell me anything. I actually didn't know that he had an uncle and such an excellent cousin like you before."

Hearing this, Xavier lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then he quickly raised his head and looked at her with a smile, "Really?"

"I'm not lying. You are the painter I like very much!" After that, she said with embarrassment, "I just didn't know that the painter I liked was actually James's cousin."

Xavier was happy at first, but when he heard James's name, his eyes darkened a little. After a long while, he smiled again and said, "It's my honor."

"But, thanks for your

paintings. You are so generous."

It seemed that Xavier didn't want to talk more about the painting. He looked at the rain and said, "I'm afraid that the rain won't stop in a short time."

"Just wait." Xavier looked at the heavy rain, "Wait for the rain to stop."

"Wait?" Elizabeth shook her head consciously, "We can't wait. You know that it has been raining heavily recently. Maybe the rain will last for many days. If the rain doesn't stop until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, should we wait here all the time?"

"Yes." Xavier nodded, "The sky will get dark completely, and the rain is so heavy. The path down the mountain is muddy now. If you insist on going down the mountain, it will be dangerous."

Elizabeth knew he was right, but she couldn't care about so much at this moment, "Even if it's dangerous, I have to go down the mountain." After that, she ran to the path down the mountain.

However, standing under the eaves and looking at the road, she was stunned. The road was originally narrow and steep. It was raining heavily, and the rain carried the sand on the ground and cascaded down the road

Elizabeth didn't speak.

"You can't even walk on the road here. Are you sure you want to go down the mountain?" Xavier followed her and asked behind her back.

"But, what if I can't go down? There is no signal here, and James will be anxious." She was so anxious that she stamped her foot. She should have not eavesdropped curiously at that time.

"But if you go down now, you will die!" His voice suddenly turned cold and serious.

Xavier rubbed the top of her head again, "Listen to me and wait for a little longer. If you are really in a hurry and the rain doesn't stop, we can think of a way to leave later."

Elizabeth turned her body uneasily to avoid his movement, "Okay..."

Xavier gave a self- deprecating smile, but he still pulled her a little inward to avoid the rain splashing on her body, "I know you are anxious, but it's useless to be so worried, isn't it? How about saying something to divert your attention?"
