Speaking of the pills, James felt even angrier, "Don't mention the pills!"
Pills?
He took a deep breath and thought of what happened that day. When he saw the pills in shock and anger, he almost wanted to smash everything in the house.
Love him? Was that how she loved him? She not only swallowed contraceptive pills but also cared about Theodore so much!
His heart ached and twitched at the same time, and he was so jealous.
He didn't want to be like this either, because it was so f*cking uncomfortable. But he couldn't find a way to relieve his pain.
Just now, she said those words sincerely. However, how could he believe her words?
Many things happened one after another, and he was about to have a nervous breakdown because of jealousy and fury. He didn't know how to distinguish the truth from the lie.
His roar startled Elizabeth and she shivered. Tears ran down her cheeks in an instant.
"I'm so sorry... I know I was wrong." Elizabeth held his hand more tightly.
"Moreover..." Elizabeth hesitated for a moment and glanced at him before she continued, "The reason why I protected him just now was that I didn't want you to kill him. Have you ever thought about the consequence of killing him? You didn't listen to me at that time and I couldn't pull you back. If I didn't rush forward, you wouldn't know what would happen if you punched him, would you?"
At this moment, she didn't want him to misunderstand her at all.
She squeezed his hand even harder, "He is a human. We can't kill someone so casually, right? But..."
She took a deep breath, "Compared with Theodore's life, the one I care about more is you!"
James closed his eyes with grief, and his mind was in a mess.
He slowly pushed away her hand with the other hand that was not held by her.
Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself. After a long while, he did not speak but only took deep draws on the cigarette.
Elizabeth stood behind him and looked at his back nervously.
Did he... believe her or not?
If he still didn't want to believe her, he would definitely not listen to her explanation about the pills. At that time, he would only get farther and farther away from her.
Finally, when James finished smoking a cigarette, he put out the cigarette butt directly on the desk and turned around to look at her anxious and worried face. Tears came out of her eyes and ran down her red and swollen face...
After a while, he sighed and looked at her with calm eyes. Then, he said indifferently, "Get out."
At this moment, all he wanted to do was to calm down and compose his thoughts.
Elizabeth had been nervy and anxious. Hearing this, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at James who was stern and apathetic in disbelief.
Did he... ask her to get out?
She immediately panicked and kept shaking her head, and even her lips were trembling.
She wanted to hold his hand again and say something more, but she suddenly thought of something. Then she sniffed and reached out to search for something in the bag.
