I Only Want You novel Chapter 177

James had been sitting in the same position for nearly two hours, but his irritation hadn't diminished.

At the end of the song, Adele, who had been drinking a lot, pressed the pause button again. She leaned on the jukebox to hold the microphone and looked in the direction of Benjamin and Isaac with her drunken eyes. She giggled and said vaguely in that direction, "Today.... I'm back. Thank you all for coming... I'm glad..."

Hearing this, Isaac, who was having a laugh with Benjamin, frowned and looked at the drunken Adele with some displeasure.

"We have known each other for almost twenty years... It's so good. For so many years, we... are still together... I'm very grateful for our precious friendship... Someone told me that... he always cared for me as his sister and friend..."

James, who had not raised his head all the time, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. He stared at Adele, and his face became more gloomy.

"Well, that's great... to see you today... I'm so happy, so... I'll sing a song for everybody..."

After that, she shook her head and looked at the jukebox. After watching for a long time, she reached out to press the play button.

There was a slow piano sound. About half a minute later, Adele's vague singing voice from being drunk came on. "And that night, you didn't take my hand..."

"... We were just friends. So I used that hello to hide my thoughts..." As he listened it, he couldn't help but look up at the TV screen in front of him. He blankly looked at the subsidiary that slowly flashed and gradually disappeared.

— Excuses to be your friend, so I can be your knight. Thank you for having me as a friend. Don't feel guilty in your mind.

Wasn't this just like Elizabeth and himself?

They were just friends, so he couldn't express his love. He could only try his best to be nice to her. But it was ridiculous that he had to use the excuse of being a friend.

— I don't want to give you a hard time. I don't want to be a murderer in the name of love.

I love you.

I love you so much.

How simple the words were! However, he couldn't say it out. He was afraid that she would feel embarrassed if he told her.

— How eager I am! I want to possess you. How stubborn I am! I don't want to let go of you.

Falling in love with her was his own fault. He was eager to possess her and live with her for the rest of his life. He understood her attitude towards him in the past two days. A few days ago, even just now, she had clearly said that he was just her friend. But he just didn't want to let her go. What was he supposed to do?

— Friend! I hide my thoughts with a hello. Friend! I masked my love with a plot. Friend! I missed you but couldn't talk...

He disguised his love as a friend's care and greeting. But that wasn't what he wanted. Just a friend... If he could only be Elizabeth's friend, what if he missed her? Even if they saw each other every day, even if he had just seen her, he missed her now.

A disguise? He didn't want to pretend anymore!

It was so tiring to disguise! This kind of hopeless, speculation, and endless nervousness made him feel tired.

As he thought about it, he pushed away the tea table in front of him and stood up immediately.

F*ck being friend! His rival had come to his door. If he continued to wait and speculate like this, then he would be a coward!

Friends? Damn friends! He didn't want to be her friend! She was his wife!

Even if... Even if he said what he thought without getting what he expected, he didn't want to retreat. After he confessed to her, he would get a result no matter how she responded. But if he didn't say it out, he could only be constantly tortured by that kind of guess.

Well, even if the result was not what he wanted, she finally understood his mind. Even if she didn't accept him now, she would finally accept him one day, wouldn't she?

Today, he would fight for himself!

The few people in the private room couldn't help but look at James, who made such a big noise. They wondered why he was suddenly going crazy.
