Elizabeth stood up, "Sebastian."
"Mm." Xavier smiled and walked straight to Elizabeth without closing the door. In the end, he stood still in front of Elizabeth.
"Why did you come to me?"
"You'll get married today."
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded with a smile.
"Are you nervous?"
“No.”
"Well, it's quite good."
"Don't tell me that... you're here just to ask me if I'm nervous."
As soon as Elizabeth finished speaking, Xavier said, "Elizabeth... I went there."
"What?" Elizabeth didn't understand.
"The address you gave me. I... went there."
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled, "Is that so?"
"Right."
"I thought... you wouldn't go there." After that, she looked straight at Xavier, "So... did you gain anything after you went there?"
In fact, she wanted to ask whether he had let go of his past, or... had become more painful.
If he had let go of his past, she would definitely be happy, and James would be delighted, too. But if he had felt more painful...
No one wanted it to be like this. But if it was true, she would certainly blame herself. After all, it was she who proposed to tell Xavier about it in advance. If she told him about it in a period of time, maybe it would be better, right?
"Why are you looking at me so nervously?" Xavier smiled and said, "What are you worried about?"
Elizabeth frowned in a dilemma, and there was no smile on her face. She didn't answer Xavier's question and asked in a hurry, "Did you gain anything? Or... you didn't?"
Xavier smiled faintly, "Elizabeth, do you think I can be so relaxed now if I didn't gain anything or felt even worse? I can't even be here today. Don't you think so?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Really?"
"Yeah." Xavier nodded with a smile.
"You're not lying to me, right? You're not unhappy, are you? It's just..." She thought for a moment, "How did you feel after seeing those paintings? You have to tell me the truth, really!"
Of course, although he always remembered their past, since he didn't say it before, he didn't intend to say it at this time. Besides, he was not going to tell her in the future.
He thought that her life was wonderful and peaceful at this time, and it was good. If he said it, only a few more people would know about the story between her and him, as well the story between her and the Lu family. But it might add to her burden.
Therefore, he wouldn't say it. He would keep this secret alone and hide his gratitude till he was old and grey.
Elizabeth breathed a big sigh of relief, "That's great! Sebastian! Really! If James knows this, he will definitely be overjoyed!"
"Yeah." Xavier nodded and then said, "By the way, you and Jimmy get married, but I don't know what to give you as a gift. Originally, I wanted to give you some money, but Jimmy is so rich that he doesn't need me to give him money. So, I thought about it and drew a picture for you. Today, when I went to your house to wait for Jimmy, I took it there. You can have a look when you get home. If you are not satisfied, I will draw another one."
When Elizabeth heard this, she kept shaking her head, "How could it be? How could your painting be ugly? Don't worry. Although I haven't seen it yet, I know it must be a very outstanding painting. Thank you, Sebastian." "That's what I should do." How could a painting be comparable to what she had done for him? However, that was all he could think of.
"By the way." Xavier said, "I heard that you would walk with Uncle on the red carpet, right?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth naturally knew that Xavier was referring to the fact that she would walk to James with John's company on the red carpet.
She smiled and nodded, "Yeah." After that, she pursed her lips, "You know that my father... So no one can walk on the red carpet with me. If I walk alone, it may be a little strange, right? Ha-ha."
If it was in the past, Josephine's father might accompany her, but...
"A few days ago, we made this decision when we were at home. I think it's good. Anyway, he's also my father. Don't you think so?"
