"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded.
James narrowed his eyes and stared at the top of Elizabeth's head. He didn't believe what she said.
"Honey, don't forget that this is a high- end neighbourhood."
Elizabeth didn't know why James said so, but she nodded and replied, "I know."
"So..." James drawled slightly, "Even if mom wants to go to the toilet, she doesn't need you to send her tissues. There are tissues in the toilet."
In this neighbourhood, there were many places for people to rest, as well as bathrooms. In the bathrooms, there were even disposable towels, shower gel, and shampoo. How could there be no tissues in the toilet?
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment and thought that it was an unwise move. How could she forget this? Alas! She regretted that she didn't often walk around in the neighbourhood.
Although she thought so, she immediately said, "Sometimes, when a woman has her period, what she needs is not only tissues. You know what I mean, ha-ha..."
James raised his eyebrows and did not answer her for a while. The facilities in the neighbourhood were complete, but he was not a woman and had never gone to the ladies' bathroom, so he did not know if there were... tampons in the bathroom...
However, he asked after a short while, "Where is mom now?"
"In the small park."
The small park?
Wasn't there a small shop in the park?
"Why didn't you buy it for her in the small shop?" She actually came home to get it for Lydia. This was too strange!
"I..." Elizabeth was rendered speechless, "I didn't bring money with me."
This excuse... seemed to be reasonable.
However, James suddenly had a shrewd judge that day and did not believe what she had said.
"So why don't you dare to look at me?"
"I dare to look at you!" Elizabeth argued.
"Then raise your head."
"You're too tall. It's very tiring to raise my head and talk to you."
"Is that so?" James raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment. The next second, he leaned over and got close to Elizabeth's face, "How about this? You won't be tired, will you?"
Looking at his handsome face which suddenly appeared in front of her, Elizabeth held her breath and suddenly blushed.
"Honey, you blush."
"No..." Elizabeth exhaled and glanced at him, "I walked for a while just now, so I am a little hot. Yeah! I feel so hot."
"Really?"
"Of course." Elizabeth nodded, "What's more... you suddenly got close to me. You are too handsome, and I... am attracted by you."
Puff!
Although she really thought that he was handsome, the idea occurred to her mind at the crucial moment. In ordinary times, he was very concerned about his image. If she praised him, he would forget to question her, right?
Sure enough, James suddenly smiled and looked very pleased.
Seeing this, Elizabeth immediately relaxed a lot.
But before she could relax completely, James stood straight and then reached out to pinch her chin and lifted her head.
"What the hell is mom doing now?"
Elizabeth didn't say a word. She didn't want to betray Lydia!
"Don't you want to tell me?"
She still kept silent.
"Honey, you know that those who acknowledge their crimes will be treated with a lenient attitude, and those who stubbornly refuse will be punished severely, right? I won't blame you for going out to eat snacks today. In the future, if you want to eat something, I can think about fulfilling your wish. What do you think?" James guided her gently, like a patient hunter.
Elizabeth was a little moved.
To tell the truth, even if she didn't say it, James knew that she had eaten outside. Moreover, if she said it, he might really buy snacks for her in the future. She was really hesitant.
Should she... be Lydia's accomplice who kept their secret or a traitor who submitted to circumstances? This was a difficult problem worthy of her serious consideration.
Looking at the change of Elizabeth's expression, James smiled faintly, "Honey, I'll give you 30 seconds to think about it. If you don't tell me, I won't... keep my word."
"20 seconds left." James didn't even look at the time and said a number randomly.
Elizabeth was stunned and said with some dissatisfaction, "You're too unreasonable! You didn't even look at your phone! How do you know that there are only twenty seconds left?"
James snorted proudly, "Of course I know. Now I have the final say, because you are not obedient. Well, there are only three seconds left. Think about it"
Elizabeth looked at him in shock. She felt so unfair and thought that James was too overbearing, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"Three, two, one. Time..."
"Hey!" Elizabeth suddenly became anxious, 'TH say it!"
