James nodded blandly, "Yes."
Zena clenched her fists, and her body was shivering slightly. She said with tears in her eyes, "You're really..." She smiled helplessly, "Well, this is really your style. You're clear about what to love or hate."
"If..." Zena refused to give up. She stood up unsteadily, "If I hadn't left, you would have fallen in love with me, wouldn't you? Not only would you like me, you would also love me, right?"
James was agitated. Seeing Zena like this, he had lost all his patience, "Just leave since you've drunk the wine."
"I won't leave!" Zena shook her head, "I regret it. I love you! If you don't answer my question, I won't leave."
James frowned and sighed, "What do you want me to answer? Love you?" Saying this, he snorted coldly, "I don't want to answer this meaningless question. You left me indeed, and it's impossible for us to be together. There is no need to talk about this."
"Even if I loved you at that time, so what? When you left, you didn't consider my feelings. Now, you don't get to ask me these ridiculous questions! You can leave me, but can't I leave you? When I don't love you anymore, you tell me you regret it and say you love me. Ha-ha, who do you regard me as?"
"If my clothes are broken, I can sew it up. If my skin is broken, I can stitch it up. But if my heart is broken, can I fix it up? It hurts!"
"No matter what feelings I used to have for you, when I cherished you, you didn't cherish me. Since I could spoil you, I can also... abandon you. What's more, I've made it clear that I have never loved you."
"However, I have to thank you. If you hadn't left me back then, I wouldn't have met her."
"Now, do you know the answer? You really left me, so don't ask me those ridiculous questions anymore. You only make me feel disgusted, and I don't sympathize with you at all. Now that I have answered your questions, can we leave now?"
Zena's shuddering body staggered, but she nodded with a smile, "Okay, I see. I won't ask you these ridiculous questions again. But..." She looked at James and begged, "Jimmy, since we have known each other for so many years, even if... we can not be lovers, at least we can be friends, right?"
James looked at Zena whose face was covered with tears and gritted his teeth. In the end, he shook his head and said, "No. You said those words to my wife. If we become friends, she will be unhappy."
Tears ran down Zena's face, but she laughed out loud, "Jimmy, will she be not happy? Why do you think for her like this?" Seeing that James's expression changed in an instant, she said, "So what if you think for her like this? Does she love you? Look at you! You're here drinking alone! So what if you love her? She doesn't love you that much."
James frowned deeply and said angrily, "Couldn't I find a place to drink alone? Does this mean that she doesn't love me? You think too much."
"Jimmy, you can't lie to me. You two... quarreled, right?"
"Are you leaving or not?"
Zena smiled and didn't say anything else. She staggered up and walked to James, "Okay, let's go."
Hearing this, James turned around and left without giving her a hand.
Looking at James's tall and straight back, Zena narrowed her eyes slightly. She bit her lip and then smiled with complicated feelings. After a few seconds, she didn't stay any longer and tried her best to follow him.
"Where are you going?" On the road outside the bar, James stood next to the taxi and asked.
"Go to the hotel. If I go back... like this, my parents will worry about me."
"Mm."
James nodded. When he was about to tell the driver the address, Zena grabbed his hand, "Jimmy!"
"Okay, I'm walking very slowly. Don't worry. It's okay." Although Elizabeth replied like this, she did not stop.
As soon as she entered the room, she ran to the dressing table and picked up her phone.
After finding James's phone number, she took a deep breath and organized what she was about to say with excitement. Then she dialed James's number happily.
However, James did not answer it.
Her heart, which had been filled with joy and excitement, suddenly turned a little upset.
She thought that James was still angry because of the previous incident, and she blamed herself more and more.
She called him again, but the phone was not connected, either.
Elizabeth bit her lip. She was really afraid that James would be annoyed and blacklist her number, just like what he did a few days ago.
She felt nervous, and then quickly sent him a message.
"James, where are you? Can you answer the phone? I have something very important to tell you."
A few seconds later, she received a reply.
"He's drunk. He wants you to go to Room 3016 in Nourish Hotel to find him."
