I Only Want You novel Chapter 371

After what happened last night, Xavier had the best sleep ever.

When he woke up, he felt much better, but he was not in a hurry to get up. He lay on the bed, turned his head to look at the sky out of the window, and smiled. Then he turned to look at Zena who was fiddling with flowers with her back to him, and his eyes were much gentler.

"Oh, are you awake?" Zena finished arranging the flowers and turned around, but she didn't expect that Xavier had woken up. She was stunned at first, and then asked apologetically, "Did I wake you up?"

Xavier shook his head gently and said with a smiling face, "No." The rustle was very light.

Zena walked over. Her long white dress bounced as she walked, looking light and graceful, "Are you hungry? I cooked porridge for you."

She received the phone call from James in the small hours and knew that Xavier was ill. Fortunately, the hotel room was home-style and had everything. She made porridge for him in a hurry before coming here.

"No."

"Do you want to drink some water?"

"Alright."

Zena poured him some water and checked the temperature of the water before she put it down. Then she raised the bed for him, "Come on. Drink slowly." Saying this, she reached out to touch his forehead and then touch her own. Then she said, "Well, your body temperature is normal now. When I came here, you were sleeping, so I didn't wake you up. At that time, your body was a little hot."

Xavier handed the cup to her, "I am all right now, aren't I?"

"Why did you go to the mountain at that time? Why didn't you call me and tell me? I was so anxious when I couldn't get through to you."

"I just wanted to see him all of a sudden. After all... it has been so many years."

Hearing his plain voice, Zena's eyes darkened. After a while, she asked tentatively, "Did you... see uncle?"

"Yes."

"What... did he say?"

Xavier chuckled, "Nothing." He paused, and smiled more brightly, "I won't go there again in the future."

Zena had known him for so many years, and she knew the situation in his family. Hearing what he said, she only felt sad in her heart. She stared at him for a while, sat at the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold his hand which was on the quilt gently, "Well, that's good."

Xavier looked down at her soft hands and did not speak.

"You still have me. Xavier, I will always be with you."

Xavier raised his head and looked at Zena who was sincere, "I know, you haven't given up on me all these years. But... Zena, how long can you be with me?"

Zena was stunned and said in a hurry, "Why do you say this? I'll stay by your side until the day we die."

Xavier smiled gently, "But you still have Jimmy in your heart, don't you?"

Before Zena finished her words, he looked into her eyes and said. His eyes were tender and soft as water, which was so attractive that made her obsessed.

"What... did you say?" Zena opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She was in a daze.

Xavier smiled faintly, "I said, let's get married." He held her hand, "You've been waiting for me for so many years. You're the one who chased after me and went to find me. Now, let me be the one who makes a proposal." He was tired. After all these years, he was really tired.

He finally saw the light and really wanted to let go of the past. He wanted to live a brand new life.

She had followed him for so long. How could he let her waste another ten years on him again?

Maybe he didn't love her very much or just liked her a little, but he could try to be good to her and build their home together with her.

"Perhaps, there are some things that I still can't get used to for the time being. I still need... If you don't mind, would you like to consider my suggestion?"

Zena looked at him and bit her lips which were trembling uncontrollably. Tears came out of her eyes and ran down her smiling face.

"You... say it again..." Her voice was trembling. She was afraid that she was hallucinating. She thought that maybe she couldn't marry him for the rest of her life, or it should be her who made a proposal, but... he said it.

Xavier sighed, but he said again with a smile, "I am proposing to you! Do you want to participate in my life in the future?"

Zena couldn't stop crying, but the smile on her face became brighter. She nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"
