"Jimmy, you..." Zena took a deep breath, "I went to your house indeed, but I didn't say anything harsh to Elizabeth. I went to your house at that time because one of my father's friends brought specialty to us, and I sent it to you specially. I..."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears and she looked a little aggrieved, "I really didn't say anything to her. I don't know why Elizabeth told you that. I really... don't know what to say." What she had to do was to deny it.
According to James's attitude, he not only did not break up with Elizabeth but also made up with her. For her, this was indeed a piece of bad news. But the only thing she could do was to try not to alienate him and then find a chance in the future.
James sneered, "Zena, you have to admit what you've done. Since my wife said so, it means that you really did that and said those words."
Zena's heart sank when she heard him calling her by the name.
But it was not time to care about how he addressed her. She bit her lip and pretended to be sad, "Jimmy, I know you've misunderstood me. I explained to you. Don't you believe me? How many years have we known each other? You don't believe me, but believe a woman who you've only known for a few months?"
James closed his eyes. He only felt that Zena couldn't be more disgusting.
"What did you say just now? Didn't you say that the one who always accompanies me is the best? Elizabeth accompanies me all the time. Why should I believe you and suspect her?"
"You..."
"What?" James smiled sarcastically, "Do you think I'm stupid? Did you forget that I sent someone to follow my wife today? You wore the same dress as her this morning, and you talked to her later... Zena, you are really good at playing dirty tricks."
Zena's color came and went as she listened, and she knew that she could no longer cheat James. She shook her head in panic and said anxiously, "Jimmy, listen to me. I... didn't think too much at that time and acted rashly. But I did it for you. I really want to be with you."
"Ha- ha." James smiled coldly, "Want to be with me? You left me without hesitation back then, but now you regret it and want to come back? What do you regard me as? Your B-plan or someone ridiculous? Or do you think I'm just a piece of trash that you can throw away at will?"
"No! I never thought like that!"
"I don't care whether you have thought like that or not." James's face darkened, "I came here today to tell you that what you have done hurt my wife a lot. Since we have known each other for so many years, I will not deal a blow to your family. But, don't play any dirty tricks anymore. Otherwise, I will never be as merciful as today. Do you understand?" After that, he turned around and was about to leave decisively.
"Jimmy!" Zena was extremely flustered. Seeing that James was about to leave, she rushed to him without hesitation, reached out her arms to stop him, and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't go! Listen to me..."
"Get out of my way!"
Zena shook her head, "I love you! I was wrong! I shouldn't have left you like that. It's all my fault! But, can't you forgive me since I've regretted it? I took the wrong way and made the wrong choice. Can you give me a chance? Now I've really realized how important you are to me!"
"You are mine! You were so kind to me. I can't bear to see you treat Elizabeth so well."
"I went to find her and said those things indeed. But it's all because I love you! I want to get you and be with you. You can only treat me well."
"You love me, don't you?"
