I Only Want You novel Chapter 60

"Why do you look so sad today, Elizabeth?" Evelyn Wu asked with concern after she finished answering a phone call and looked at Elizabeth Liang's gloomy face.

Elizabeth smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

"Are you sure?" Evelyn carefully examined her for a while. The bags under her eyes were dark and heavy, which seemed to confirm that she had a bad night's sleep.

"Yeah.”

"I don't believe you!" Evelyn shook her head and disagreed. "This is more than just not getting a good sleep!"

"Did you have a quarrel with your husband?"

Elizabeth was lost for words. She forced a smile and complained, "It's really a pity that you're not a psychic, Evelyn."

"Haha, I was right!" Evelyn then asked Elizabeth curiously, "Tell me, what happened?"

"It's really no big deal." Elizabeth was still feeling depressed. Just thinking about his expression and attitude yesterday, she would be upset, so she didn't want to say anything.

"Am I still your best friend? If I am, tell me what happened. Looking at you like this, I also felt bad." And then she asked somewhat dramatically, "Oh my god, is your husband having an affair?"

Elizabeth gave her a defeated look. "That wasn't funny at all, Evelyn."

"Then what the heck happened?" Evelyn decided to play her trump card. "If you won't tell me, I'll stop looking for a part-time job for you. Come on, just say it. You'll feel better after telling it to someone else, and I might even be able to give you some advice."

"You're so..." Not wanting to be pestered any further, Elizabeth resigned to telling Evelyn about what had happened yesterday, but she didn't mention that he suddenly wanted to take her to school this morning.

After telling her everything, Elizabeth sighed, "How could he say that to me?"

"..." Evelyn's mouth was wide open for a long time. Then she excitedly exclaimed with admiration filled with her eyes, "Holy crap, how could James Lu be THAT cool?"

Evelyn imagined the scene that James Lu, shirtless, quickly carried Elizabeth across the field in his powerful arms. She wiped away her saliva. "Your husband is so manly, Elizabeth!"

"Evelyn!" Elizabeth was frustrated to learn that their thinking was not on the same level at all. "Are you sure that this is the time for talking about this? Did you miss the point entirely? He thought that I had a sugar daddy!"

Evelyn grinned apologetically. "Sorry, I was just amazed by how strong and mighty your husband is." Then she nudged Elizabeth with her elbow. "He massaged your foot? Dude... that's so romantic. I have goosebumps all over me."

Elizabeth gestured in the air, "I want to open your head and see what the hell you have in it."

"Hmph!" Evelyn took Elizabeth's hand and stopped joking. "You know what they say, no-one should be a judge in their own case. James Lu might've been a bit too mean this time, but I can understand him."

"Understand him?" Elizabeth curled her lips and said, "Just because he's good-looking, carried me, and rubbed my foot?"

Evelyn protested, "Do you think I'm that shallow? Didn't you say by yourself that James Lu didn't scold you at all even though you lost miserably to your disgusting cousin yesterday?"

Elizabeth still looked upset and asked, "What news?" "My senior friend just called and told me that she found a part-time job for you. Do you want it?"

Elizabeth finally found the silver lining in her dark clouds, "Of course I do!"

"My senior friend also works there. It's a fashion design position, but you're going to be someone else's assistant. It's said that the former assistant quit the job for personal reasons, so ..." An assistant position like this was usually very exhausting and frustrating, but it was also a fantastic opportunity to learn lots of new things.

"I like being an assistant, and I can start learning from the basics!" Elizabeth was naturally thrilled to be able to do her dream job. She excitedly pulled on Evelyn and said, "Did she mention when I can start?"

"Can you start this afternoon?" Evelyn looked at her and asked.

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment. If she had to go this afternoon, then it's most likely that she wouldn't be able to get back home and make dinner for James. She didn't know whether or not to expect another temper tantrum from him.

But he probably didn't want to eat whatever she was going to make anyway, right? He was pissed at her yesterday, and she ignored him this morning. He didn't want to see her face.

After thinking for a while, Elizabeth nodded, "Yes, I

can.

"Cool, I'll reply to my friend."
