While talking, James answered a phone, saying that he was going out to deal with something.
John didn't have any objection. Lydia didn't have time to care about him. She just let him do what he should do.
Elizabeth also asked him to do his own work, so he didn't stay any longer.
As soon as he pulled the car door open, Xavier stopped him.
He turned around, "Xavier, why did you come out?"
"I'm here today to see Elizabeth. Now, I want to congratulate you again."
Looking at Xavier's face, James naturally knew it was not his only purpose. After thanking Xavier, he said, "Xavier, don't worry about that matter. I've made a little progress. We... will get some information soon."
Hearing this, Xavier trembled, "Really?"
"Yeah." After that, James patted Xavier's shoulder, neither too gently nor heavily, "Xavier, just rest assured. We will definitely find them this time."
Xavier closed his eyes and said with a wry smile, "After that day, I can't sleep well every night. Sometimes, when I fall asleep in a daze, I would suddenly wake up with a start. In my dream, everyone knows about that matter, and I..."
In his dream, he was like a person hated by everyone. He wanted to live a peaceful life, but no one gave him such a chance. They laughed at him, derided him, and even... said that he was too disgusting. They asked him why he didn't die.
Every time he woke up, the first thing he did was to check his cell phone and search for the news on that day. After confirming that there was really no news about him, he gasped for air and breathed a sigh of relief.
He lived like this every day, and he was about to have a nervous breakdown.
In the past few days, if it was not necessary, he did not dare to go out casually. He locked himself in the room and suffered torments.
James felt sad, but he knew that comforting Xavier with kind words was useless, "Xavier, wait for my news."
Xavier nodded, "Jimmy, could you... speed up? I can't wait any longer."
When James heard this, his heart trembled violently, "Okay." He exhaled heavily, "Go in first. I'm leaving." "Alright."
Xavier went back to Lu Mansion again. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the living room, he saw Lydia muttering excitedly, "Oh, this is great! It's just like a dream."
Elizabeth sat aside and smiled happily.
"John, pinch me now. Let me see if I'm dreaming."
John smiled dotingly, "No, it's true."
Lydia laughed more gaily and said, "I'm not dreaming, right? Let me tell you. I am more excited than I was when we were going to get married. I am so glad..."
"Mom, don't stand there. Come and sit down."
"It's okay for me to walk round. Hey, I have to call my friends who often play cards with me! I'll tell them that my youngest son is going to get married..."
Standing there and looking at their overjoyed faces, Xavier couldn't help but smile faintly. When he heard the words "youngest son", he felt bitter and touched.
If it weren't for that matter, he should have lived such a happy and joyful life.
He was envious, but not jealous. He just felt very sad. They treated him as their eldest son, and he might never have a chance to get married in his life.
Elizabeth was feeling sad, and she was stunned when she heard this, "What?"
"You were scared out of your wits yesterday, weren't you? I... apologize to you on behalf of Zena."
Elizabeth came to sense, "Don't say that. I was scared, but now I'm all right, aren't I? Moreover..." She curled her lips, "How can I let you apologize to me? You and she..." They had broken up.
"I know." Xavier nodded, "I've broken up with her indeed. But I met her when I went to see you that day."
"Oh, really?"
"That day, she was very emotional. If I could have persuaded her kindly and patiently, she might not have done that and scared you. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise..." He would feel guilty.
Although he was truly disappointed with Zena, he felt that he was too impulsive when he knew that Zena hurt Elizabeth again.
"Sebastian, don't say that." Elizabeth shook her head, "Since you've seen her before, you should know what she is like right now. No matter how much you tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen to you. Don't blame yourself for everything."
It had nothing to do with Xavier, and she didn't blame him. Even if... he was still with Zena, she wouldn't be able to bear to blame him. He wasn't the one who hurt her, so why would she blame him?
However, what Xavier said made her feel sadder. Zena didn't cherish such a good man. He was living a hard life, but he thought for her and blamed himself.
It turned out that there was really such a fool in this world.
"No, I really think so. I..."
Elizabeth stood up, "I said that it had nothing to do with you. Don't say that. I am very healthy now. Even if I was frightened at that time, do you forget what you said to me? As time passes by, everything will get better one day. So, although I was frightened, I will forget it one day. Don't think so much, okay?"
