"But don't forget, you can take it away from me, and maybe someday someone will take it from you. I've moved on a long time ago. He doesn't deserve it. I don't like him anymore, but there are still others like you who might have bad tastes." For the first time, she knew how good it felt to refute the people she hated. "You... you, you..." Josephine Liang's hands, which were clenched into fists, couldn't stop trembling. The anger in her heart was clearly visible. As if she was trying to prove it to herself, she shouted, "Theodore will not leave me forever!" "You're being jealous, aren't you? Don't think that I don't know what you're up to!" "......" Just now, because of Josephine's sudden appearance, she didn't have time to turn off the tap, and the water was still flowing. Elizabeth didn't want to reply to her meaningless and boring words, so she turned around and turned off the tap. Josephine was so angry that she could not bear it.
"You dare touch her again!" With a roar, he came from behind. Then, Elizabeth Liang's forehead touched something warm, thick, and slightly hard. "Hmm..." Elizabeth grunted in a low voice, only to open her eyes sharply at the sound she had just heard. On the wall in front of her, it was his hand which just shielded her. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the man who was standing beside her, her eyes watery. Once again, he was her knight. The touch in her heart made her choked with sobs. "James..." James's face flamed with anger. His eyes were sharp and mad with rage. He was like a vampire from hell, full of danger. This sudden change sent a quiver down Josephine's spine. Her hand holding Elizabeth's thin hair trembled and she eased her strength. She had not expected James's presence here at this moment, and she shuddered at the sight of him now, frightened by what had happened last time. She seemed genuinely startled
No! She was in a panic. She didn't want to be misunderstood by him. This made her fidget. How could she bear it at this moment, when what Josephine said had been nonsense? She blurted out, "No..." At the word "no," James sneered at Josephine breezily: "You hear that? She said no!" Elizabeth's unsettled heart was relieved by his words. She felt something pleasant hit her heart. She thought he would misunderstand and be angry, but how could she know that he defended her without being given a full explanation? Her nose was a little red, and her eyes were also swollen. But even if she was moved to tears, she did not want to shed it in front of Josephine Liang. So she tried to sniff and took a few deep breaths to suppress her tears. Josephine didn't expect that James would respond with such an attitude, and she's stunned. In most of the case, men would be pissed off and incline to lose judgment. She failed sowing discord and he defended Eliza
Because James Lu consumed wine, he didn't intend to drive his car back. When he came out of the restaurant, he didn't call a taxi. He just strode ahead in a bad mood. Elizabeth Liang guessed that he was still angry about the encounter with Josephine Liang and didn't dare to talk to him. she followed him closely with mixed feelings. He was tall, more than 1.8 meters, and she could only reach his shoulder at most. His back was very straight. From a distance, he looked like a tall green pine. In fact, He had a bad temperament, childish, overbearing, arrogant, and coquettish. He would lose his temper from time to time. He would make others unhappy when he's in a good mood. But when he was in a bad mood, he would be like a bomb ready to explode. Uh... and he got a sharp tongue. If he was provoked, he will make sure to strive back. But it's also him, who would bring her the inarticulated warmth and the revelation that even if the sky's falling down there's still him
"I'm asking you a question!" He sat up all of a sudden. "Answer me!" "I... I..." James Lu has a short temper. How can he stand her stalling all the time? He took her by the shoulder and turned her toward him. "What? I asked..." As soon as he saw her pale, sweaty face, he hold back the rest of the words. He was anxious. "What's the matter?" Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Where did Josephine hit you just now?" "It's not that." Elizabeth shook her head. "I... I just feel a little pain in my stomach." He was relieved a bit first, but soon became agitated by the following words. He instantly pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he softened his voice. "When did it start?" "Ah?" She did not understand what he was asking. "Don't you have a stomachache? When did it hurt?" "Just now... after dinner..." He sorted out the situation of tonight and then grumbled, "So, was it painful when you quarreled with Josephine?"
"Hmm?" He did not stop. "What's wrong?" "..." She didn't speak, but shook her head gently. Nothing. She just wanted to call his name like that... She put her chin on his shoulder, her arms around his neck, and her legs swayed as he walked. This was not the first time that they were so intimate. He hugged her before. But this time, because of her position, she could observe him recklessly. His short and inky hair, his beautiful ears and neck, the smell of sandalwood and smoke on his body, were so clear in such a short distance, enticing all her senses. "How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time someone has ever carried her like this?" She's down in her memory lane, "Oh, it seems that the last time I was carried, it's more than ten years ago by my father." Even if with Theodore Chao, her nominal fiancée later, he had never treated her like this. She's touched and she wanted to cry. She had been tempted to shed t
"Of...of course...haha..." Elizabeth forced herself to smile, pretending not to care. At the moment, she didn't really know what else to say or do. She couldn't say she didn't want to be his friend, could she? If she plucked the courage to say, "I like you," would that only end in self-humiliation? What's more, since they lived together now, they would only be embarrassed for her overreach. And it's possible that they even can't be friends? She replied in defiance of the heart, but at least she could live with him in a relatively harmonious way. Uh... Even if it's unrequited love, it was good for her to be around him, wasn't it? Hearing her positive answer, James Lu frowned even more tightly. Wasn't that the best he could have hoped for? Why was the agitation in his heart so obvious and made him want to curse? Fighting against the annoyance in his heart, he said reluctantly in a bad tone, "Yes." For a moment, neither of them spoke a word.
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth paused for a moment. The next second, she walked faster. Why did he get off the car? Didn't he know how embarrassed she was now? "Stop!" "..." It was too late for her to hide. How could she stop? He just got out of the car. Was it that he noticed the red bloodstain on her white pants? "Da*n it! Don't you understand that I asked you to stop?!" He ran to her almost as soon as he finished his sentence. In less than ten seconds, he successfully caught her who's trying to run away. "Em..." He frowned awkwardly, "Didn't you... bring that thing with you?" "......" Such an embarrassing question... Oh, God! Elizabeth was stunned instantly as if she had been hit in the acupoints. Her mind was buzzing, and her only thought was that she's ashamed and she wanted to die. Watching her head momentarily lowered, James knew he guessed it right. There was also a slight blush on his face, and he
