I Only Want You novel Chapter 137

James didn't go home the next day. She didn't know what he was busy with, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After all, as a "friend", she didn't feel right to ask him. If so, she would be embarrassed.

On the third day, Elizabeth finished her work early. After telling the receptionist, she carried her bag to A University.

Today is the day to announce the grades.

She got out of the bus at the west gate. She made an appointment with Evelyn to wait here.

When she just walked to the gate, she found that Evelyn was already waiting there. She was eating an ice cream and holding another in her hand.

"Evelyn," Elizabeth walked over and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Evelyn's teeth ached because of the ice that she had just a bit. She opened her mouth to breath while shaking her head at her.

After she recovered from that cold, she said, "No, I just arrived." With this, she handed the ice cream in her hand to Elizabeth. "Here for you. It's so hot today. Eat this. It's cool."

Elizabeth felt warm in her heart. "Thank you." It was really her fortune to have such a close friend who treated her so well and carefully.

"For what? Don't be so butch! Hurry up, let's check the results." Evelyn stared at her, then took her hand and walked into the campus together.

"Elizabeth..." Evelyn hesitated as she walked. She did not know how to say.

"What?"

"... You must be very sad about the matter of Liang Company, aren't you?"

Elizabeth looked down at the ice cream in her hand. After a few seconds, she smiled carelessly. "Why should I be sad? Anyway, it doesn't belong to me anymore."

Evelyn could not help looking at her side face. Although she was smiling, she knew that Elizabeth was not as relaxed as she looked now.

"I'm sorry..." Evelyn pursed her lips and said apologetically, "I regretted it after I tell you. If you don't know... you shouldn't..."

Elizabeth felt so warm. "Silly girl! Even if you don't tell me, I would have known. After all, it's not a small thing."

"But I..."

Unwilling to hear Evelyn blaming herself again, Elizabeth didn't wait for her to finish and said directly, "Evelyn, actually, I never thought that Liang Company would go bankrupt. I once thought that one day, I would take it back. You know It's not that I want them because it's worth a lot of money. It's just because it really means something different to

me. "I know."

"Don't say sorry to me. In fact, I should thank you. If you didn't tell me... I might never see Liang Company like that." With this, she recalled what she saw the day before yesterday and closed her eyes in pain. "It was no longer clean and bright like before, and the rubbish was thrown everywhere. I watched the employees come out of the company, and I might never forget the expression on their faces..."

"..." Evelyn listened and couldn't help but imagine the scene described by Elizabeth Liang in her mind. Those scenes flashed in her mind one by one, and she felt sadder for the girl who was walking side by side with her.

"Before that, I told myself more than once that I had to grow up and become stronger. I hoped that I could become a new self which was completely different from now. But the day before yesterday, when I stood outside Liang Company, that kind of idea had never been so strong..."

"I stood there for a long time until no one came out from it... I blamed myself and felt guilty. I even thought that if I was not so weak and silly as I was now, then Liang Company would still be as prosperous as when my parents left it to me, or maybe it would have gone a higher level..."
