"What is it?"
"We have known each other for many years, and maybe you also think that you know me very well. But do you know that even an affectionate person would be cold- hearted one day, if being disappointed for too long?"
Upon hearing this, Zena's entire body shook, and so did her heart.
"Also, I may not know Elizabeth before, but why can't I fall in love with her at first sight?"
Maybe he hadn't told Zena all of the truth. After all, he fell in love with Elizabeth during the days they got along with each other. But that day when he woke up in the hotel, although he was shocked and angry, the guilty and cherish in his heart was what he had never had for a stranger, especially for a woman.
"I don't want to hear something like this in the future, especially in front of my wife. I hope you can understand. She is a very simple and kind person, and I don't want her to suffer unnecessary harm. Just take what happened before as a jerk's joke. Now, you have been together with Xavier. You get your love, and I have my family. And I think that's good. In the future, you will only be my sister, Zena."
It killed her that James said she was his "Sister". In the past, he would not call her that no matter what, he always refused to accept that she was an elder sister. "You really fell in love with her, do you?"
James frowned, not wanting to answer the question she shouldn't have asked, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes, I love my wife."
"Jimmy..."
"Also, in the future, we'd better avoid meeting each other as much as possible."
James's cold voice sounded heartless. Zena was startled for a moment, before looking incredulously at him not far away, "What... what did you say?"
"In addition, as for my parents, you shouldn't visit them too often."
Last night, Zena's return, as well as the appearance of Adele, had impacted him greatly. He stood on the balcony and smoked while thinking a lot. Adele's matter, he would make plans when she had made up her mind. As for Zena... being each well was the best way he could think out.
The reason why he said that was because he didn't want to tangle with Zena anymore.
"..." Zena was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. She looked at James and felt bitter and uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't know why.
"You can leave now. I still have some work to do."
Zena puckered her lips and said, "Well... OK, you can go ahead." After thinking for a while, she added, "Jimmy, maybe I said something wrong just now, but please don't take it to your heart. When you're in a good mood, let's meet again."
James closed his eyes and did not answer her. However, when she was about to walk to the door, he said, "Bring all the things you brought back."
In the spacious office, there was still the perfume smell of Zena. That was her favorite perfume. He used to think that smells good, but now he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't know when he started to dislike the smell of perfume. It seemed that it was because Elizabeth never sprayed perfume. But even if she never sprayed perfume, there was a nice fragrance on her body, which was a mix of the smell of soap and shampoo. It was obviously very light, but he always miss it because it was the smell of his family.
Thinking of Elizabeth, his heart softened. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number.
The phone was quickly connected, and Elizabeth's voice was as soft as always.
"What are you doing?" He raised the corner of his mouth and only felt that his restless heart seemed to calm down in an instant.
"Nothing, I just finished the design," Elizabeth answered with a smile, and then asked wittily, "What's up? Are you still thinking about a lunch box? But I didn't make it today."
Hearing this, James nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I see. How is Adele?"
"She didn't come out of her room. I knocked on the door once. She only said that she was not hungry and wanted to rest, so I didn't bother her." After that, she sighed. "She is in a bad mood. It's okay to let her stay alone for a while."
