I Only Want You novel Chapter 98

In the end, James Lu did not return to South Lake villa.

Although Elizabeth Liang knew that it wasn't very likely for him to return to his old home, she still made a phone call to them just in case.

Of course, it was in the name of greeting Mr. and Mrs. John Lu.

Meanwhile, John Lu and Lydia Song were having dinner. Lydia chewed on her food as she told Elizabeth to come to their house for dinner with James, and she went on and on about a very delicious soup that Auntie Chang had made...

Elizabeth politely turned down Lydia's invitation. Seeing that James still wasn't home, she looked around the well-lit interior of South Lake villa as she felt a little disappointed, but also slightly relieved at the same time.

Elizabeth had no idea how to face James if he came home.

Even though she had learned from Evelyn Wu that he had saved her, and she was truly grateful for that, she didn't know what had happened after the rescue.

How did he cure the drug in her body? Did he do it himself, or did he really give her medication?

If it was medication, then no big deal, all she'd have to do is bow down her head and apologize and silently endure his shouting.

But what if it was him? How should they face each other if something happened between them as a man and a woman?

This was his home after all. He might stay angry for a few days, but he'll come back sooner or later.

The first time it happened they were both drunk and confused and so they could just play dumb, but this time he was absolutely sober. Keeping that in mind, how embarrassing would it be to see each other every day?

Did she really have no choice but to eventually move out?

As Elizabeth agonized over the possibility, her phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, she debated with herself for quite a while before accepting the call—

"Elizabeth..." Theodore Chao sounded hesitant on the other end of the phone.

"What do you want?" Elizabeth glanced out at the night view. She was annoyed and sounded snappy.

"You won't even allow me to talk to you nicely anymore, Elizabeth?"

"I don't think there's anything for us to talk about."

"Nevermind." Theodore smiled bitterly. "Elizabeth, are you... okay?"

Instead of giving him a straight answer, Elizabeth said, "What does my well-being have to do with you, my brother-in-law? If you called me only to ask me this, I think you're wasting your phone bill." Then she added wryly, "Of course, this tiny bit of money might be utterly insignificant to you, but electricity is in fact very expensive, and I don't like wasting, so... can you please stop wasting my power?"

"..." Theodore sighed lightly. "If you're saying all that in one breath, I'm sure you're doing fine. I'm glad. Well then... get some rest, Elizabeth."

Hearing this, Elizabeth frowned. "What do you mean you're glad I'm doing fine? Theodore, do you... know something?" She intuitively felt like he was hiding something.

As soon as she asked the question, she felt a faint uneasiness in her heart.

President Lee...

Could it be them again?

Flowers On the Path was a pretty popular show right now, with a well- known director and a star-studded cast of beautiful celebrities. The sudden change in actress not only immediately showed up on the trending tab, but also on every entertainment channel there was. The news blew up all over the place.

Watching the TV, Elizabeth wasn't filled with the gleeful joy of revenge. Instead, she silently wondered why they would switch out Josephine when she had already been shooting for a month.

She had a feeling that this was not as simple as it seemed.

Her cellphone abruptly rang in this rather quiet space—

Elizabeth looked at it and saw that the call was from Josephine, the protagonist of the news that she was currently watching on TV.

Elizabeth frowned and thought for a moment, then declined the call. It was pretty easy to connect the dots from last night and get a vague idea of what had happened. So what was Josephine trying to do by calling her right now? Did she want to laugh at her for being fooled by her again? Or did she want to find out if she had really disgraced herself with President Lee?

However, the phone only rang a few times before it stopped. Elizabeth was just feeling relieved when her phone rang yet again. And this time, the caller was her big aunt Charlotte Dong.

Elizabeth still refused to pick it up. She could easily imagine what kind of nasty things Charlotte was going to say to her.

The phone rang for a long time. Seeing that Elizabeth wasn't answering her phone, Charlotte grew agitated and sent her a blunt message - You will see me, Elizabeth! Don't try to play dead by not picking up! If you refuse to see me, then don't blame me for being cold-hearted and moving your parents out of the Liang family back hill!

Anger bursted in Elizabeth's heart when she read the message. Her eyes were heating up, but she forced herself not to shed tears.

The Liang family back hill was bought by Elizabeth's father while he was alive, and it was where her parents rested in peace.

She could never have imagined that her uncle's family would be so desperate that they were willing to go this far!

With trembling hands, Elizabeth struggled to type out a few words - Fine! Where do you want to meet?
