In the end, Elizabeth naturally didn't fulfill her wish, but she did not think too much, followed James downstairs obediently and ate the food at home.
However... she was a little absent- minded. While eating, she was still thinking about the program she had just watched.
She couldn't help but think of the scene of Jodie coming to see her and even kneeling down to her...
She could refuse her directly at that time, but she became hesitant after watching the TV program.
It was really touching for a mother to do that for her daughter.
In fact, she knew how wealthy Zena's family used to be. Jodie used to be a rich and powerful lady, but she was willing to work as a cleaner just to fulfill Zena's wish.
She really did not like Zena, but... she pitied Jodie from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat it." James urged her in a soft voice, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Mm." Elizabeth responded perfunctorily, and then quickly finished the food in the bowl without knowing its taste, "I've finished eating. I'll go upstairs first."
James glanced at her and felt that she was somewhat strange. But thinking about what had happened just now, he did not say anything else, "Okay, go up and have a good sleep first."
"Alright."
Elizabeth lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
In the end, she got up, put on her shoes, and walked to the study room.
Looking at Elizabeth who knocked on the door and came in, James put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Do you want to see if I have finished designing the ring?"
Elizabeth shook her head.
James raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Speaking of the ring, I've sent its draft this morning, and it will be made in a week."
"Oh." Elizabeth said listlessly.
"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the TV program?"
Elizabeth didn't know what to say. After lying in the bedroom for so long, she had actually made the decision. She would go to see Zena.
But... she didn't know how to tell James about it.
As a matter of fact, neither of them liked Zena, and they hated her. However, when she thought of Jodie's sad appearance, she had no way to refuse her.
James almost did not allow her to go out. Even if she walked in the neighbourhood, he wished that he could stay with her all the time, let alone let her go out alone.
Moreover... even if he agreed to let her go out, he would definitely send someone to follow her. At that time, he would know that she was going to see Zena. If he knew it, he would get mad.
She could imagine the consequence so easily.
"No, I just can't fall asleep." Elizabeth walked over, went around the desk and came to James, taking his hand and shaking it twice.
James smiled, "Well... do you want to draw the design draft here? If you don't even know how to paint after giving birth to our son, that will be so funny, right?"
She knew that James was teasing her and joking, but she glared at him with annoyance, "You!"
"Alright. I was kidding." James held Elizabeth's hand and pinched it, "My Elizabeth is so smart. How can you forget it?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth curled her lips. Before she could speak, James said again, "Besides, even if you really can't draw anything, I will raise you, won't I?"
"How can you be bored since I am with you?" She was at home every day indeed, but he accompanied her at home, didn't he?
"But you don't always accompany me." Elizabeth looked at James, "Didn't you buy me a lot of books to read? It's said that pregnant women should look at the photos of lovely babies and do things that they are interested in. In addition, I should go out for a walk more often and change my mood in different environments."
James frowned, "Is that so?"
"Of course! Wait a minute!"
After Elizabeth finished speaking, she quickly broke away from James's hand and ran to the door.
She ran so fast that James was so worried about her. He shouted in a hurry, "Slow down! Don't run!"
However, in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the doorway.
James exhaled heavily, and his heart was beating wildly. He stood up without thinking and wanted to follow her.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the door, Elizabeth had run back with a book in her hand.
"Hey! Look! It's written on the book. Take a good look at it."
James glanced at her helplessly, "I can have a look at any time. Why did you run so fast? I was so scared!"
Elizabeth stuck out her tongue, "I'm all right now. Don't worry. Your son is fine. Let me tell
you. Many pregnant women can do yoga, and some even lift weights or exercise with the chest developer."
"That's not what you should do. Got it?"
