Hearing his vicious and exasperated voice, Elizabeth was stunned and speechless.
James thought that she would react after she heard this, but it seemed that he was wrong.
He closed his eyes and was about to carry out his threat. He gritted his teeth, loosened his hands and was ready to press her.
Of course, he was just trying to scare her. He could take this opportunity to have sex with her at ordinary times. But she was pregnant at this time. Although he really wanted to have sex with her, he couldn't really do it. Otherwise, he would really be a b*stard.
However, as soon as he moved, Elizabeth said in a soft voice, "Are you proposing to me?"
James paused, "You're finally willing to speak?"
James thought for a moment, "Last time when I wore the ring for you, I said that we had got married, and I couldn't propose to you." After that, he felt that there was
something wrong with his words. Although it was the truth, he felt it strange.
Elizabeth did not speak, but she thought, "Since you can't propose to me, why should we hold a wedding? What's the point of those touching words?"
Seeing that Elizabeth still didn't answer him, James was a little anxious. Thinking of the strange feeling and hesitating for a moment, he said with a good temper, "Why don't you speak?" Couldn't she respect him a little?
Elizabeth wiped the tears on his clothes secretly. Then she shrank back a little and said with depression and dissatisfaction, "What you said just now made me feel that you were proposing."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth felt even more depressed, "You want to hold a wedding with me, but we've been together for so long, and you haven't proposed to me... Didn't you say that you would give me what others have when they get married? Other men propose to their wives. Why don't you propose to me?"
James was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that she was right. He suddenly felt that he was too neglectful. He even forgot this! It should be said that he had made such a silly mistake.
However, she said this, which meant...
He immediately reacted, "Do you mean that you will agree as long as I propose to you? Am I right?"
"Ahem..." James coughed lightly, "Well... what I just said doesn't count. Let's do it again?" At this moment, he was a little excited.
Elizabeth repressed her smile and didn't say anything.
"I..." James had just said a word, but he was so excited that he suddenly did not know what to say. He felt that he was too conceited and over-confident, because he said that he wanted to start again, but he suddenly did not know what to say.
Proposing should be very formal, shouldn't it?
D*mn! He was wearing his pajamas and didn't make a hairstyle. Besides, he didn't prepare a candlelight dinner, a ring and flowers. It was too informal and not romantic!
If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have listened to her and would have changed into a suit. At least he would look more decent in that way, wouldn't he?
Thinking of this, he immediately sat up, "Honey, wait for me for a while."
Looking at his disturbed face, Elizabeth asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to change my clothes."
Thinking of what he had said, Elizabeth thought that there was no need to do that and grabbed him, "Hey! Forget it."
James wanted to change his clothes, but he knew that only changing his clothes was useless, so there was really no need to change into a suit specially.
He leaned back against the head of the bed in a bad mood, and felt extremely depressed. If he had known that he would say those touching words, he should have prepared a ring and flowers in advance.
But the beautiful atmosphere had been ruined by him.
"How about..." After a long while, he said gloomily, "I mentioned it too suddenly, and I didn't prepare well enough. How about me doing it again tomorrow?" Alas! His heart broke because of himself!
Elizabeth was amused by him. Did he want to do it again? Did he think that he was a guest who was going to visit her again?
"Well... why don't you practice it first? Otherwise, what if you screw it up again tomorrow? Don't you think so?"
When James heard it, he couldn't be more speechless. He was so unhappy, but she actually teased him. Screw it up? Was he that stupid?
He turned his head and wanted to refute her words. However, when he saw her expectant eyes which seemed to be mistier than usual, he bit back what he would like to have said.
Forget it. He didn't need to salvage his pride in front of her, as long as she was happy.
After coughing twice, he pursed his lips glumly, "Oh."
"Mm." Elizabeth kept nodding. The smile on her face was extremely bright, and her eyes were sparkling.
James felt awkward. He moved his lips, and his mind was blank.
