I Only Want You novel Chapter 28

The next day, Elizabeth Liang got up at the break of dawn. Her patron needed breakfast.

She spent two whole hours simmering a pot of porridge. James Lu came downstairs just as she placed two bowls of it on the table.

He wore a dark purple suit over a pink dress shirt, and a burgundy tie around his neck. His hair was carefully combed and hairsprayed, with each hair perfectly in place.

At first sight Elizabeth found his attire rather excessive, but when she took a second look, she thought that it actually fit his appearance quite well.

The colors suited his light skin, it looked neither too frivolous nor outdated. Elizabeth's always thought of him as good- looking, but he looked especially handsome and dignified today.

"Breakfast is ready." Elizabeth set down the chopsticks and yelled at James.

James walked over and looked condescendingly at the table. Placed on it were two bowls of soft and fragrant porridge, two boiled eggs and a plate of mixed radish strips. He immediately felt offended. "Who wants to eat this in the morning?"

She not only failed to prepare the freshly-ground coffee that he needed every morning, she also had the gall to make him eat plain boiled eggs?

"... What else are you supposed to eat in the morning? It took me a long time to make this, it's good for your stomach."

"No thanks." James glared at Elizabeth and went straight to the shoe cabinet to change his shoes.

"You're not gonna eat?" Elizabeth felt pretty bummed-out. All that trouble in the morning went for absolutely nothing. If she had known beforehand she could've had two more hours of sleep.

Elizabeth watched as James put on his shoes without answering her question, when she suddenly had an idea. "Wait! Can you... give me a ride? Just to the bus station!"

It took her thirty freaking minutes to walk to the bus station yesterday!

After asking, she didn't have time for breakfast either, so she turned to rush into the kitchen.

But when Elizabeth came out with a lunch box in her arms, she was only greeted with the sound of the door closing.

"Hey! You..."

With no time for self- pity, Elizabeth hurriedly changed her shoes. When she went out, she saw that the Maybach was parked in front of the house. James had rolled the window down and was sitting in the car with one hand holding the wheel and the other holding a cigarette and leaning against the sill. He looked very relaxed.

Delighted, Elizabeth hurried forward.

See, he's not as heartless as he pretended to be. He waited for her! Just as Elizabeth ran to the side of James's car, he gave her a handsome and innocent smile, gently flicked the cigarette out the window, then stepped on his gas pedal. And with that, the car ruthlessly drove off!

Elizabeth was left behind as she was mercilessly sprayed with the exhaust.

She couldn't help coughing a little. Her face was sullen and she was so frustrated she wanted to scream.

That was evil! He could have left first, but he had to make her think that he was waiting for her! He was just pulling her leg!

"What the f*ck! That a*shole!" She continued to cough.

At lunchtime, Elizabeth and Evelyn Wu found a remote corner in the cafeteria and chatted while they ate.

"How has it been, living at your friend's house?"

Elizabeth thought about it and remembered James's evil deed this morning. She frowned slightly and said, "It's okay." Other than the fact that it's really far from school and how difficult it was to deal with James, it wasn't too bad.

"I'm glad to hear that." Evelyn was relieved. "But I wish you could continue to live in the school dorm, at least I have a friend. Now that you're gone, I don't even have someone to talk to."
