Finally, it was dawn. James moved his aching neck. As soon as he stood up, Elizabeth woke up.
Elizabeth was a little bleary-eyed and sleepy, looking somewhat confused and adorable.
"Wake up? Are you hungry?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth stretched her body while shaking her head.
When she looked at James, she suddenly paused, "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"I slept."
"You didn't!" Elizabeth didn't believe him, "There is a mirror in the bathroom. You can talk to me after you go and look at yourself in it."
James raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Do I look haggard?"
Elizabeth kept nodding, "Yeah, you don't look well. You have pouches under your eyes, and you need a shave."
Hearing this, James frowned and muttered, "D*mn! My handsome face!"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Elizabeth's eyes widened again. She stared at James and asked, "You really didn't sleep?"
"I slept, but I didn't sleep well." James looked at Elizabeth sincerely and told a lie without a blush on his face.
He really didn't sleep, because he couldn't fall asleep at all. Too many worries and troubles made his heart restless. Almost as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Xavier's painful and desperate face.
He should be responsible for Xavier, because he was his family.
Hearing this, Elizabeth didn't doubt him and said reproachfully, "I told you not to stay here with me! You didn't listen to me." As she said this, she looked at the small sofa in the room, "The sofa is too small and you're so tall. How can you sleep well on it?" Fortunately, the air conditioning in the room was functioning very well, otherwise, he might catch a cold.
"Moreover, you can't go to the company because you insist on staying with me." Elizabeth thought about it and then said, "If you live like this every day, you will be in bad health. How about... you going back today? Well... you can go back now and have a good sleep, and then you should go to work. Jane and mom will accompany me here."
Hearing this, James looked at Elizabeth's concerned eyes and his heart melted. He suppressed the depression in his heart and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Are you worried about me? Or do you want to drive me away?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes at him, "I'm caring about you. Can't you know it?"
Hearing this, James smiled more brightly, "Well, I knew that my wife is the best to me."
Elizabeth snorted, "I'm serious. Just go back, okay?"
"No." James shook his head gently, "You can go home in two or three days. We'll go back together."
"You! Why don't you listen to me?" Elizabeth frowned and said glumly.
James grinned and raised his hand to rub Elizabeth's hair, "I just want to stay with you more. I'm fine. I am in good health."
"If you continue to live like this, your physical condition will get worse. Understand?"
"At noon?" Elizabeth frowned, "Will you have time to eat lunch?" If she didn't get pregnant, or if she was in good health, she could send him a meal like before. However, if she sent him a meal, he might not be able to eat it because he had to hold a meeting.
"It doesn't matter. I'll go there after having my brunch."
"All right."
"It's time for you to go to the bathroom, isn't it? I'll carry you there."
After these days, Elizabeth had gotten used to being carried to the bathroom by him. Anyway, no matter how hard she tried to refuse, it was useless. It seemed that she had become less shy in front of him. Even if he did not go out of the bathroom, she could act as if he did not exist.
In James's words, he had seen every part of her body, so there was no need for him to go out.
Elizabeth sat on the toilet and peed, while James was shaving his beard in the bathroom. After he decided to stay here, he asked Jane to take all his toiletries here.
Listening to the buzz of the shaver, Elizabeth suddenly remembered what James had just said to her.
It had been quite a few days since they made love last time. Thinking that he liked to have sex with her in the past, she blushed, coughed lightly and put on her pants. Then she slowly walked to James and looked at his side face meekly.
James caught a glimpse of Elizabeth in the mirror, "Honey, are you done? Wait a moment. I'll finish it right away, huh?"
Elizabeth nodded and stood aside obediently. A few seconds later, she reached out and poked James's arm with her index finger.
"What's wrong?" James's voice was not very clear because he was shaving his beard.
"James, let me ask you a question."
