"No." James squeezed her hand, "Why should I think about her? Anyway, I won't let her go. There's no need to think too much."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was dumbfounded for a moment before asking, "You've made up your mind?"
"Right."
"You came upstairs, didn't you? Then dad talked to me alone, and he said something to me. So, don't be in a dilemma and don't worry about it. Just stay here. You can eat or sleep as you like. I will deal with everyone and everything that makes you unhappy. Okay?"
"So... what did dad tell you?"
"Let Zena go aboard. She should leave this place and stay away from you."
Elizabeth opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly.
Sending Zena abroad was a big thing. Since they had made up their minds, she would be ungrateful if she wanted to speak for Zena. Should she help Zena? At this time, she was
really not in the mood to do it.
To put it bluntly, if she didn't want Zena to go aboard, she couldn't guarantee that Zena wouldn't hurt her again in the future.
She was truly afraid of Zena.
In fact, sending Zena aboard was a good way. It should be said to be the best way.
"Will you... be in a dilemma?" After a while, Elizabeth asked softly.
"No." James answered with certainty, "As long as it is something about you, I will never be in a dilemma when I want to protect you. All I want is that you can be safe and sound. Besides, if she didn't make trouble for you, how could I punish her? I don't want to waste my time on her."
"Go to sleep. Don't think too much."
Elizabeth nodded, but she didn't really sleep. She stared at the ceiling above her head and was silent for a long time.
"James..."
"Huh?"
Elizabeth turned her head and stared at him without blinking, "Today... when Zena came to me, she said that she had lost everything and couldn't work as a designer anymore..."
James raised his head and looked at her tenderly. He didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.
"At that time, she said that mom and dad had punished her. Tonight, mom told that it was you..." Elizabeth took a deep breath, "Why didn't you tell me about it before?"
"Why should I tell you? I would only add to your burden if I told you. Moreover, even if I told you, you might not agree with me. However, at that time, I always felt that I must do something for you. I did that for... Anyway, I have my own plans."
"I know." Elizabeth smiled gently, "You did that for me. You not only wanted to take revenge for me but also didn't want her to make things difficult for me when I..."
Saying this, she suddenly stopped, held James's hand tightly and said with emotions, "You did a very overbearing thing, but I can't blame you. I know that you did that for me."
"You know what? If you were in front of me when mom said those words to me, I would certainly give you a big hug. Although it was not a good thing for Zena, we know that she asked for it. A few years ago, I studied, grew up, and lived my life alone, and I didn't know what would happen in the future."
"Especially when I was plotted against by my aunt, I felt that my whole world had been crushed.
But, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.' "Before I met you, I was too unlucky. I had too little good luck, and I didn't have an opportunity to use it. Then, my good luck accumulated bit by bit, and I became luckier and luckier, so I met you. All my anxiety melted, and good things happened to me one after another."
Seeing that Elizabeth's eyes were brimming with tears, James was touched.
"What?"
"It's so good to meet you."
Hearing this, James's hand, which was patting her back, paused. After a few seconds, he continued to pat her and smiled faintly, "Am I really so good?" "Yeah." Elizabeth nodded and didn't feel embarrassed at all, "You are the best person I've ever met, and you're just like my treasure." As she said this, she wrapped her hands around his waist more tightly, "Thank you."
She said in heart, "Thank you for coming to me and being with me when I was in the most difficult situation. I know that we will definitely live together till old and grey, so, thank you for giving me a meaning future life."
James's body stiffened, and then he said in a nasal voice, "Hmm."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "You're not modest at all."
"Modest? Why should I be modest?" James was amused, "You thanked me sincerely. Can't I accept it?"
"You..." Originally, Elizabeth was moved, but... after hearing what he said, she was no more very touched and was a little helpless, "I really don't know why an arrogant people like you can become a very successful businessman."
"I was born to be a talented businessman." James was not self-effacingat at all.
"Forget it! I don't want to talk to you. You are really not humble."
James raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to see me being humble?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment, "Humility is considered a virtue, and you can be humble sometimes. What do you think?"
"Mmm." After a long while, James nodded heavily and then held Elizabeth in his arms, "Then I'll be humble."
Elizabeth smiled. Just as she was about to speak, James said again, "So, honey, let's get married."
