I Only Want You novel Chapter 103

Elizabeth Liang sat on the sofa, staring at her favorite cartoons, and felt that she was not interested in it at all.

She didn't know how many times she picked up the phone. Looking at the dark screen, she felt a little disappointed.

In fact, she thought he should have given her a phone call after today's incident. Or at least, a message.

But now it was nine o'clock, she did not receive any calls, not even a message.

She had checked with Samuel and James had gone to Los Angeles.

A place with time difference of fifteen hours with China.

Now, it should be five o'clock in the morning.

He has fallen asleep, hasn't he?

Her slender white fingers stroked the screen of her mobile phone. She hesitated for a while and then turned off the phone.

She stared at his WeChat's name and head portrait. She didn't know whether she should send him a message.

Although she's still hesitating, her fingers were more honest than her heart. She quickly wrote — James...

Before she pressed the send button, she thought about it and deleted the message, only changing it to a question mark.

She even calculated that this was the best way. If he woke up and saw this message, and if he asked her why she sent this message, she could explain that she accidentally pressed it to avoid admitting that she missed him.

To her surprise, James Lu replied only seconds later. "What's wrong?"

Then she got so excited that she almost jumped up after this torment in heart.

And she did what she had planned — Ah? That, maybe I accidentally pressed it. Haha.

James replied a few minutes later—Are you sure?

Elizabeth immediately said—of course!

In less than a minute, the phone suddenly rang. It was James, who was now on a business trip to the United States!

Her heart beat faster, and she picked up the phone. "Hello?" Her voice trembled.

However, what responded to her was a bland reply. "Yes."

"You..."

"Did you accidentally press the phone?"

"Er..." Elizabeth sounded sure, "Yes, that's right."

"Then why did you answer the phone so quickly? You picked it up in three seconds?"

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't help thinking, "This fox!" "I... Because I'm playing with my phone. I just slipped to the call button... Well, that's it."

"Oh —" He prolonged his tone, obviously not believing it. "Elizabeth."

"Huh?"

"Are you missing me?"

"No... No!"

Elizabeth scratched her ears and didn't want to talk about this topic with him anymore. "Well, you replied so fast. Haven't you slept yet?"

"Well, there are some documents to be dealt with."

"Oh, is it done?" It was almost dawn over there, but James still didn't sleep. Can he stand the stay-up?

"It's just in time."

"Oh..."

At this point, Elizabeth began to be frustrated with herself. She couldn't find a topic to talk about. However, she didn't want to hang up the phone.

James's also silent, but he didn't say he wanted to hang up. Both of them were mute, so quiet that they could hear each other's slow breathing in the receiver.

It's so subtle but made her feel at ease and satisfied.

After a long while, she pursed her lip. "Well... James... I'm sorry..."

He suddenly understood what she was referring to. This time, he did not tease her. "Okay, I accept it." Elizabeth heard the sound of the lighter and knew that he was lighting a cigarette. Hearing his words of "I accept", she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." After that, she added, "Thank you for what happened today. Thank you for defending me."

James chuckled. "Finally realized my charm?"

"Yes."

"You've done a great job today! Elizabeth, you've made progress!"

These were actually very ordinary and simple praise. But when they came out of his mouth, Elizabeth felt that they were special. James Lu, who was so arrogant and stinky, was praising her.

"Haha, it's all your credit." Elizabeth giggled. It was already 9:30 p.m. "Have you been very busy these days?"

"I'm fine." But in fact, his hands were full and he's overwhelmed.

"It's almost dawn over there, isn't it? Why don't... why don't you take a break first?"
