"What's the matter?" Elizabeth asked in a trembling voice.
As soon as she finished her words, James suddenly raised his head and looked at her. There was no smile but an angry expression on his face. His eyes were gloomy, and his face seemed to be a little pale.
"You..." Elizabeth was shocked, "What's wrong with you?"
Wasn't everything all right before she took a shower?
She suddenly felt a little worried, "Did something bad happen?"
Hearing this, James sneered and then nodded slightly.
"What is it?"
James shook his head and tried to take a deep breath. Then, he whispered, "What... do you think of me?" He did not call her "honey" anymore, and even his voice was very indifferent.
When Elizabeth heard this, she was stunned.
Why did he ask such a strange question all of a sudden? Besides, he looked so abnormal at this time.
She suppressed the worry in her heart and said with a dry smile, "Why do you ask such a question?"
James did not answer her, but stubbornly asked again, "What do you think of me?"
Elizabeth pursed her lips. Although she didn't know why he was like this, she nodded and said, "Well, you are a very nice man."
James stared at her and asked, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Elizabeth became even more suspicious after hearing this.
Was he stupid? Who would ask such a question?
She bit her lip and stared at him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so weird?"
"Am I stupid?" Seeing that she didn't answer, he asked again stubbornly.
Elizabeth shook her head, "No."
James did not show any emotion on his face. He just squinted at her and asked, "Do you think I love you? Huh?" After that, he added, "Answer me according to the true feelings in your heart."
Elizabeth opened her mouth and replied with certainty, "Of course you love me." She endured the worry and sudden panic in her heart and said, "In this world, you are the person who loves me the most." "Is that so?"
"Yes." She nodded heavily to improve it.
"Then..." He stared at her with cold eyes, and there was a meaningful expression that Elizabeth didn't understand in his eyes. He asked, "What about you? Do you love me?"
Elizabeth frowned and felt even more panic in her heart.
Although he always liked to joke with her, he had never spoken to her with such an aloof face except that he lost his temper at her when she and Xavier came back from the mountain. At this time, even his tone was horribly apathetic.
Moreover, on that night after she came back from the mountain, he was just angry and frantic. Although she was also frightened and shocked at that time, she was not as panicked and worried as this time.
Even if he was unhappy, she wanted him to roar at her and lose his temper at her, and she didn't want to see him treating her so coldly.
She frowned and did not answer him for a short while. But in James's eyes, the meaning was different. She didn't answer him without thinking, and she hesitated.
