Before Elizabeth finished her words, Zena, who had just finished eating, entered the living room. James and Elizabeth sitting next to each other. On seeing this, Zena greeted them with a soft smile.
"..." James glanced at her lightly. After a long time, he nodded slightly to reply to her.
Elizabeth saw this and said with a smile, "Zena, come and sit down." She liked Zena very much. She was not only beautiful, but also had a good temperament. Even her smile was gentle and charming, and she was a model of a well-educated young lady.
Zena nodded with a smile and walked over to sit on the sofa opposite Elizabeth and James.
She glanced at the bowl on the tea table and then looked at James. "It seems that Elizabeth cooks better." After that, Zena looked at Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, do you mind if I call you like this?"
Elizabeth waved her hand repeatedly and said with a smile, "I don't mind. As you like." As he said this, she asked again, "Zena, did you really grow up together with James?" She was truly curious as to why one of them was so elegant, while the other had such a bad temper. Of course, recently, his temper seemed to be better.
"Of course," Zena nodded and said, "James used to play with us and he's very good to me."
"Oh, I see." Hearing this, James lowered his eyelids and pursed his lips gently.
"However, Elizabeth," Zena looked at James and then said to Elizabeth, "Aren't you married to Jimmy? Why... Why are you calling him by his name?"
"Ah?" Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. After glancing at James, she scratched her hair shyly and said, "That... that is because..." She was used to calling him like this. Although he had asked her to call him hubby from time to time recently, Elizabeth always felt that it was embarrassing to call him hubby in front of others.
"I asked her not to change it." James faintly opened his mouth at this time, but when he finished speaking, he looked back at Elizabeth, and the meaning of his eyes was —I asked you to change your address, but you didn't listen to me. Now I had to make up an excuse for you! Hmph!
Zena watched their interaction, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember you got mad at me when I didn't call you Jimmy, saying that it seemed we are not intimate enough."
Hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't help but look at Zena. Although what she said seemed to be an ordinary small thing in her memory, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it.
Hearing this, James frowned unconsciously. "Is that so? I don't even remember such a small thing. Now I am not that kind of unreasonable kid. It's just a title. What's more, she's my wife. She can call me anything as she willing to." With just a few simple words, it could be seen as an obvious PDA, which made the two women's mood suddenly change a lot.
Elizabeth was a little uncomfortable about what Zena said at first, but now she just wanted to hug James and give him a French kiss. Considered that Zena was still on the oppsite, she had to give up this idea. Although James would made her feel angry sometimes, he would always show his romantic aspect without even knowing it.
However, Zena was stunned for a moment, and even her smile became a little stiff. Although James's words sounded basically right, from her aspect, it seemed to mean something else—
"I don't remember"," unreasonable kid"...
He said that Zena had misunderstood his feeling. He also said that he had forgotten not only this thing, but also many other things. He was ostensibly talking about these things, indeed he was protecting the seemingly innocent girl beside him.
When had he said such words to her before? His simple words seemed to slap her face hardly. In the past, he would always defend her. When would he treat her like this?
But now, he had another woman next to him, and even the object of his protection had changed.
