In the end, Elizabeth naturally didn't fulfill her wish, but she did not think too much, followed James downstairs obediently and ate the food at home.
However... she was a little absent- minded. While eating, she was still thinking about the program she had just watched.
She couldn't help but think of the scene of Jodie coming to see her and even kneeling down to her...
She could refuse her directly at that time, but she became hesitant after watching the TV program.
It was really touching for a mother to do that for her daughter.
In fact, she knew how wealthy Zena's family used to be. Jodie used to be a rich and powerful lady, but she was willing to work as a cleaner just to fulfill Zena's wish.
She really did not like Zena, but... she pitied Jodie from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat it." James urged her in a soft voice, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Mm." Elizabeth responded perfunctorily, and then quickly finished the food in the bowl without knowing its taste, "I've finished eating. I'll go upstairs first."
James glanced at her and felt that she was somewhat strange. But thinking about what had happened just now, he did not say anything else, "Okay, go up and have a good sleep first."
"Alright."
Elizabeth lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
In the end, she got up, put on her shoes, and walked to the study room.
Looking at Elizabeth who knocked on the door and came in, James put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Do you want to see if I have finished designing the ring?"
Elizabeth shook her head.
James raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Speaking of the ring, I've sent its draft this morning, and it will be made in a week."
"Oh." Elizabeth said listlessly.
"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about the TV program?"
Elizabeth didn't know what to say. After lying in the bedroom for so long, she had actually made the decision. She would go to see Zena.
But... she didn't know how to tell James about it.
As a matter of fact, neither of them liked Zena, and they hated her. However, when she thought of Jodie's sad appearance, she had no way to refuse her.
James almost did not allow her to go out. Even if she walked in the neighbourhood, he wished that he could stay with her all the time, let alone let her go out alone.
Moreover... even if he agreed to let her go out, he would definitely send someone to follow her. At that time, he would know that she was going to see Zena. If he knew it, he would get mad.
She could imagine the consequence so easily.
"No, I just can't fall asleep." Elizabeth walked over, went around the desk and came to James, taking his hand and shaking it twice.
James smiled, "Well... do you want to draw the design draft here? If you don't even know how to paint after giving birth to our son, that will be so funny, right?"
She knew that James was teasing her and joking, but she glared at him with annoyance, "You!"
"Alright. I was kidding." James held Elizabeth's hand and pinched it, "My Elizabeth is so smart. How can you forget it?"
Hearing this, Elizabeth curled her lips. Before she could speak, James said again, "Besides, even if you really can't draw anything, I will raise you, won't I?"
