Hearing this, Elizabeth felt a little bitter and sad in her heart, but she said without thinking, "You are my husband. Of course, I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Theodore immediately widened his eyes and looked at Elizabeth in disbelief, "What did you say? You... have got married to James?"
Was James Elizabeth's husband? Did he mishear? However, when did they get married?
No wonder... James spared no effort to take back the company of her parents and her house, and no wonder James wanted to aim at his company.
He finally figured it out, but... it was too late for him to realize it.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and was not in the mood to answer Theodore's question. She just stared at James.
James seemed to have felt a little better. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. Although there was no smile in his eyes, his smile was no longer sarcastic.
"What's wrong? Didn't she tell you in such a long time?" James said with a brighter smile on his face, "Tut-tut, look at your shocked face. It's so funny."
After that, he slightly turned his body and reached out to Elizabeth slowly, "Since you want to go with me, come here."
They were so close to each other, but he didn't want to take a step toward her. If it was in the past...
Elizabeth was excited. Although she was still worried that James might misunderstand the relationship between Theodore and her, she didn't have time to think about it at this time, because James didn't mean to abandon her. She reached out the other hand which was not caught by Theodore and put it in James's palm.
No matter James had misunderstood her or not, as long as he did not turn around and leave, and as long as he was willing to reach out his hand to her, she still had the opportunity to explain and let him forgive her.
Since he didn't want to walk to her, she could step to him. They were just one step away. As long as he was willing to hold her hand, even if it was a journey filled with numerous difficulties and dangers, she wouldn't be afraid.
When she touched his warm palm that she was familiar with, her nose suddenly twitched.
When they were together every day, although they were deep in love, Elizabeth thought that it was a common thing. But after they quarreled and separated for two days like this, Elizabeth understood that she should cherish every moment with him and love him more.
James held her hand tightly, but he didn't intend to take her away from here immediately. Instead, he looked at Theodore, "Now, let go of her!" He couldn't bear to see Theodore holding Elizabeth's hand like this as soon as he got here. If he was not angry with Elizabeth, he would not restrain himself and rush to beat Theodore.
Theodore glared at James and grabbed Elizabeth with more strength. It seemed that he was really not afraid of anything and he just wanted to fight against James.
"Ouch!"
Elizabeth cried out in pain, and her face turned paler.
Hearing this, James frowned and looked at Elizabeth.
He could only see her side face after he came here. At this time, he finally saw her whole face and found that her cheek, which was not close to his side, was red and swollen. There were even a few fingerprints on her cheek.
He had been mad and unpleasant, but at this moment, he only felt distressed for her.
Hearing this, James frowned hard and the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated, but he couldn't help but roar angrily, "Your face is even swollen! Doesn't it hurt because it was Theodore who slapped you?"
Elizabeth panicked, "No, it's not because of him..."
James sneered, "I don't care if it's because of him or not. Anyway..."
Before he could finish his words, Elizabeth exclaimed, "Be careful!" After that, she pushed away James's hand that was touching her face and was about to go forward.
James frowned and reached out to pull her, "I said that I don't need you to protect me at any time!" He finished his words quickly, and then moved away deftly, turned around, and kicked Theodore.
Theodore covered his belly and took a few steps back. He only felt that his belly was in great pain, which made him cough violently several times. He got more furious. While coughing, he glared at Elizabeth and James with hatred.
Didn't he even succeed in raiding? He was about to kick James.
James stood there and looked at Theodore who was getting more and more awkward. His eyes were extremely cold, and the words he said were full of ridicule, "Do you want to raid me? How dare you!"
"Shut up!" Theodore's face was pale, and he panted because of the pain. He said in a hoarse voice, "I have wanted to fight with you for a long time. I used to be afraid of you, but now... Anyway, I have nothing now, and it was you who ruined my life! So, today, I am not afraid of you anymore. If I don't fight with you today, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
"James, today, if you don't kill me, I'll definitely kill you!"
James was not worried at all. Instead, he sneered, "Do you think you can kill me?" After that, he moved his wrists, "Did I tell you that your behavior just now was very shameless? Since you don't know the rules, I will teach you how to respect me!"
