Being grabbed by James, Elizabeth couldn't leave. She could only stand there, but she didn't look back.
"Listen," James wiped his face anxiously, "Yes! It's her birthday. But... I just forgot to change it. You know that when you met me, the password of the door and the bank card had been like that. I might be a little stupid to set up the password, but..."
James took a deep breath, "Alas! Honey, just think that I was stupid back then. No! I have been stupid for a long time. I set up the password because I used to like her, but the reason why I didn't change it was just that I got used to it. I don't mean anything else. Believe me, okay?"
Seeing Elizabeth standing still without saying a word, James was so anxious that he almost went crazy. He regretted it and hated himself a lot.
"I really don't like her anymore. I'm just used to it, so I didn't think about changing it. As for that woman, I..."
Before James finished his words, Elizabeth suddenly turned around and looked at James. She chuckled, "Yeah, I know, she is... Zena."
James was shocked. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Elizabeth in disbelief.
After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "How... do you know that?"
After Zena left, he once missed her indeed. After all, she was the person he had liked for many years and she was his first love. Even if he lost something he liked very much, he would be sad for a few days, not to mention a girl who was special to him.
But later, he fell in love with Elizabeth, and he was very sure that his love for Elizabeth was completely different from his like for Zena. He gradually forgot Zena and didn't miss her anymore.
Although Zena had come back for a period of time, he didn't even treat her warmly, let alone want to be with her, because he didn't want Elizabeth to think too much, and didn't want Zena to affect the relationship between him and Elizabeth.
He thought that he hid it from Elizabeth quite well, and thought that she would never know it, but...
However, there were not many people who knew about what had happened between him and Zena. Only Isaac, Ben, Xavier, and Zena knew about it. Even his parents didn't know that he once liked Zena. How did Elizabeth know this?
Isaac and Ben definitely wouldn't tell Elizabeth about it. He knew them well. He had remained Xavier so many times, and they had been on good terms again, so Xavier wouldn't tell her either.
Therefore...
"Was it..." He thought about it carefully, "Was it Zena... who told you about this?"
"Should I think that you're surprised now?" Since Elizabeth had said it, she didn't want to beat about the bush anymore, because that was really tiring.
Didn't James say that he loved her just now?
Since he loved her, why didn't he tell her everything?
