That day, Elizabeth stayed outside for a long time. She was in good spirits during the day, but when she went to the bedroom, she was too sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously.
When she woke up, it was almost 12 o'clock at night.
In the bedroom, only a small lamp was on. James was leaning against the head of the bed and reading a book.
Seeing that Elizabeth had woken up, James put away the book and smiled at her, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Auntie Chang made you a midnight snack, and it is warm now. If you want to eat it, I will bring it up to you."
Elizabeth shook her head and immediately asked, "Well, did you call Xavier? What did he say? Did he have time? Did he agree?"
"Look at you. Why are you in such a hurry? You asked me several questions in a row. Which one do you think I should answer first?"
"Of course I'm in a hurry." Elizabeth sat up, "Did you ask him?"
James nodded with a smile, "Yeah."
"Then... what did he say?"
"We'll see him at Paleo Cafe at three tomorrow afternoon. I'll drive you there." "Did you tell him why I want to meet him?"
"I didn't tell him the details. I just told him that you had something to talk to him. I don't know what he is thinking now. You can talk about it tomorrow when you meet."
Elizabeth nodded, "Okay." As soon as she said this, she looked at James again, "By the way, you said that you would drive me there? You don't want to see him together with me?"
"Yeah, I won't go there."
"Why?" Elizabeth was a little puzzled, "Didn't you promise me before?" Why did he regret it?
"Zena talked to you. Of course, it's better for you to talk to him. Although Xavier won't show any dissatisfaction when he sees me, shouldn't we try our best to make him feel more at ease?"
"You're really thoughtful." Elizabeth snorted and tease him with a smile, "Now you can rest assured that I go to see him alone? What did you say before?"
Recalling what happened in the past, James was silent for a moment and then said, "Now everything is different." How could she know what he was thinking before? Wasn't he just afraid of losing her?
At this time, he had nothing to worry about. Why couldn't he let her see him alone?
"Well, whatever you say makes sense." Elizabeth didn't want to talk too much about what had happened before, "But, if I go there alone... I'll be a little nervous. I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to him well, and..."
"Why do you have to worry so much?" James sighed, "You don't have to think about anything. Just tell him what you want to say. As for other things, Xavier will think about them."
"Alright. But..." Elizabeth glanced at James, "Are you sure you don't want to go with me?"
"Yeah. I told you just now, didn't I?" Looking at Elizabeth's pleading face, he was in a good mood, "Moreover, I have something to do tomorrow."
Before Elizabeth asked him, he said, "I'll go to Isaac's house, and then we'll go to pick up Ben together. He's coming back."
"Is that so?" Elizabeth nodded, "Okay, go ahead. Benjamin has been on a business trip for a long time. You haven't been together for a long time."
"Well, I may go home late tomorrow. The reason why I arranged you two to meet around our house is that I think it's not far and you will not be so tired. Xavier can send you back, it won't cost him much time."
"That's good. I don't really want to take a car."
"Mm." James nodded, "By the way, tomorrow I... might go home a little late. Is that okay?"
