I Only Want You novel Chapter 180

Sitting side by side on the swing of the garden, James held Elizabeth's shoulder with one hand and let her lean in his arms. He held her left hand with the other hand and stroked it with his fingers from time to time. He was like a child who got a toy that he loved so much and couldn't let it go.

Elizabeth cherished and appreciated this rare moment. They confessed their love for each other. They no longer had to guess and fathom each other's thoughts through their casual glances and gestures. They both got what they wanted in the end. It was a wonderful feeling.

"Is it tired to sit like this?" They had been sitting in this position for a long time. She was afraid that he would be tired, so she asked softly.

James smiled gently. "I'm not tired."

He never used to like sitting all the time. But now, he sat with her. Even if they didn't say anything, he didn't feel dull at all, but felt serene and content instead.

"James..."

"What?"

"I wan to say..." Elizabeth also knew that it was not the time to talk about work now. But after hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Can you just reconsider about the matter about my case? "

Hearing this, James looked down and thought for a moment, then said softly, "Even if I still insist on my previous decision, you're not going to give up, right?"

Elizabeth thought for a moment and nodded, "Right."

"Then just go on."

"Really?" She didn't expect him to be so quick to agree. So she couldn't help but look up at him.

James smiled at her, and then pressed her head against his chest. "I just said that because..." He sighed, and then said, "I thought you didn't want me to pick you up yesterday. And you even lied to me and told me you were working overtime. Today, you seem to have a good day with that Leo... I was flustered and a little scared. I was afraid that you really consider me as your friend and have a crush on Leo. Even if you didn't love Leo, I was afraid that you would fall in love with another 'Leo' in the future."

She was shocked and asked, "Did you know that I was lying to you yesterday?"

"Yep." He nodded, "I went to pick you up yesterday, but I didn't see you after waiting for a long time. You didn't answer my phone. And I didn't see you even when I went home, so I asked Samuel..."

Elizabeth pursed her lips. Only then did she understand why he didn't look well last night. He even asked her if she was really working overtime.

After thinking about it, she put the other hand on his hand and explained softly and patiently, "Because of what happened the night before yesterday, I don't think you love me. So, I was in a bad mood yesterday. Leo is just an ordinary customer, and I have no other relationship with him. I'm already in love with you. How could I ever be in love with anyone else again?"

She didn't actually say the words she most wanted to say. She wanted to tell him that she really loved him. She liked everything about him, no matter if it was good or bad. Ever since she'd fallen in love with him, he was the only one in her heart. How could she love anyone else?

Hearing this, James smiled and took both her hands, "I know. So go ahead. I hope you can do what you want to do and what you like to do."

"Really?"

"Of course. Now, I know what you think. I... don't have to worry about you running away. However, if you feel tired and don't want to work one day, just come back. Didn't I say that I'm always behind you? I will support you for the rest of your life."

"Thanks, James." Elizabeth was relieved, "Then what about your men in our home?"

"I'll let them go right away." He coughed a little awkwardly, and then said, "I'm sorry, I've gone too far. However, I won't do it again."

"All right."
