"Well, say it.¹'
"Is there anything you're hiding from me?"
Elizabeth was somewhat puzzled by his question, but she still thought about it carefully. Then she shook her head and answered, "No." She had really thought about it carefully, and she really didn't hide anything from him. She didn't know why he asked her like this.
When James heard this, he closed his eyes tightly and felt that his last hope was shattered, "Really?" He asked very lightly, and he was like a drowning man who struggled before dying.
"No." Elizabeth shook her head with certainty.
James endured the heart-wrenching pain and gave her a wry smile. He wanted to say something, but he found that it was even hard for him to open his mouth, let alone say something.
He sighed in his heart, "See, don't waste your energy anymore."
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were horribly bloodshot, "Ha-ha..."
Smiling gently at her, he reached out his hand, took out the box from his trouser pocket, and handed it to her, "I bought this for you today. Guess what it is."
Elizabeth looked at the small box and slightly bit her lips, feeling both surprised and happy.
Although she had never received such a gift, she could guess that there was a ring in the box at a glance.
The next second, James opened the box. As expected, a brilliant flower-shaped ring appeared in front of her eyes.
"This..."
Although Elizabeth had guessed it, she was still moved when she saw the ring, and her body was trembling a little.
He said that he bought it for her that day, but he had been with her all day long. When did he buy it? She remembered that he left for a while when they were watching a movie. Before he left, he held her hand so stubbornly and seriously... Did he buy it at that time?
James looked at her with a bland face, "Do you like it? Huh?"
Elizabeth raised her head and stared at him for a while. Looking at his cold expression, she bit her lips. After a long while, she gently nodded.
Even if he just gave her a wild flower, she would be so delighted, not to mention a priceless ring.
Seeing this, James raised a corner of his mouth and sneered. Then he slowly took out the ring and threw the box downstairs without hesitation.
He grabbed her left hand rudely and was about to wear the ring for her.
Elizabeth was taken aback, but her heart suddenly began to beat violently, even though his expression was strange and his eyes were a little cold.
"James..." As soon as she called his name, he paused. Then he raised his head, looked at her and sneered, "I suddenly don't want to give it to you anymore."
Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat and her hands shivered. Before she could say anything, James said, "Because..." His voice was apathetic, "You don't deserve it!"
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly opened her eyes wide. She was both flustered and shocked. In panic, she saw that James turned around and threw away the ring vigorously.
"James!" Elizabeth couldn't stand it anymore and screamed in shock.
