"Dad!" Lucho pushed open the door of the study with his face darkened. Maxwell was sitting on a chair and resting, with his eyes closed. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes. He was a little unhappy because he was disturbed, but when he saw Lucho, he just frowned slightly and didn't blame him. "You're back?" Maxwell said blandly. "Mm." Lucho endured his anxiety and nodded. Then he closed the door and walked towards Maxwell. "Didn't you say that you would stay there for four or five days?" Maxwell looked at Lucho, "If I remember correctly, you've only been there for three days. Are you back today? Have you dealt with the matter over there?" In the face of Maxwell's casual question, Lucho didn't beat around the bush. "Dad, do you think I can stay there at ease?" Maxwell raised his eyebrows, "So, did you come back because of Issac?" "Yes!" Lucho didn't hide anything and said directly, "Dad! Why did you agree? Why did you agree to let him w
Madelyn pushed open the door of the study and stood there very excitedly. She pushed the door with great force. The door hit the wall beside very heavily and then bounced back. Maxwell frowned, "What are you doing?" When Lucho heard the noise, he turned around. He was stunned when he saw his mother, "Mom, why did you come up?" Madelyn glared at Lucho before walking straight to the desk. With a face full of anger, she questioned Maxwell, "Maxwell, is what you just said true?" Hearing this, Maxwell became even more dissatisfied, and even his face darkened. "Did you... eavesdrop on us outside just now?" Lucho was naturally well aware of Maxwell's personality. He was anxious, so he pulled Madelyn and walked to the door, "Mom, didn't you say that the new delivered tea is very nice? Go down and make tea first. I'll come down after I talk to dad." Madelyn snorted coldly and shook off Lucho's hand without hesitation. "Shut up! I'll get even with you la
It was extremely quiet in the room. Maxwell looked at Madelyn, and then looked at his right hand which he had not put down. For a moment, he was stunned. He looked at Madelyn's face which had become red and swollen in an instant. His heart trembled and his somewhat dry lips quivered uncontrollably. His right hand was trembling violently. The pain in his palm became more and more intense, and he felt so painful all over in an instant. He obviously slapped her, but he seemed to have slapped his own heart. It had been so many years. This... was the first time that he had beaten her. Lucho opened his eyes wide. He looked at his father and mother in horror and was totally dumbfounded. The atmosphere was weird. He had seen Maxwell get angry and beat someone before. When Isaac was young, he didn't like Issac and always found fault with him. He remembered that he once broke an ancient vase that Maxwell liked very much. He deliberately broke it, but he
When Adele came out of Aria's house, it was almost noon. She really wanted to see Arvis. She wanted to hold him, talk to him and accompany him for a while. But after thinking about it, she gave up. When she left that day, Arvis was so sad. Even if she saw him, he would ask her to stay again. Otherwise... he would feel bad for a long time. So, it was better not to see him. Although she missed him and he also missed her very much, as long as they didn't meet, they wouldn't feel grieved about their separation again, would they? However, she did not know where to go. She didn't want to go back to Lone Oak Place. She had to go back, but she wouldn't go back immediately. As for other places... She got on a bus. Several years had passed, but the bus that led to that place had not changed. A few days ago, she had planned to go there, but she had been delayed because of those things. The villa of the Bai family was on the third ring road. Th
"Of course it's necessary!" Madelyn said excitedly and her face was filled with resentment. Lucho seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He stood in front of Madelyn and did not say a word. "Lucho, what qualification did the illegitimate b*stard have? Huh?" Madelyn grabbed Lucho's arm emotionally and looked at him with an anxious face, "When he was young, he came to this house to disgust me and I couldn't leave in peace because of him. I endured it for this family and you. But now, he actually wants to work in our company?" "What's more, is Maxwell qualified to treat me like this? He must think that he doesn't need anyone to help him now, so he has nothing to fear!" After that, Madelyn nodded as if she was bewitched, "Yeah! It must be like this! It must be! He doesn't need my family to help him anymore. He has had everything, so he doesn't respect me anymore. I'm old and my family has declined a lot, so, I'm nothing in his eyes." "Mom, it's not like that." Lu
Adele walked out of neighbourhood aimlessly. Her mind was blank and her heart was in a mess. If... she didn't come here that day, she wouldn't know anything. Since she didn't know anything, she wouldn't be so confused, would she? Madelyn and Lucho certainly didn't know that she was there, so they couldn't have said those words to her deliberately. After all, in their eyes, she was just a dead person who had died for nearly three years. How could a dead person come back to life? Even if... they knew that she was alive and was in Isaac's house, based on the conversation she had heard... If Isaac really wanted to work in Bai Company, it would be a threat to their interest. Madelyn and Lucho were so anxious. How could they be in the mood to lie to her? She knew what kind of person Madelyn was. Since Madelyn had the time, she might as well meet her in person. But... if what they said was true and they didn't lie... Did Isaac really like her?
"..." "I'm talking to you," Elroye frowned. He was somewhat unhappy because Adele was silent, "When others talk to you, you have to answer them. This is the most basic courtesy. Do you understand?" "I don't understand." Adele pursed her lips. Elroye was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say next. After a long while, Elroye finally thought of something to say, but he just said, "I'm asking you! You should be polite! Don't you know that I'm talking to you?" Adele was a little helpless. She raised her head and glanced at Elroye, "I remember... when I went to see you to solve my brother's problem, you asked us to get out immediately after you saw us." Elroye's eyes widened. He looked at Adele in disbelief. Adele said these words in a bland tone, but she really rendered him speechless. He exhaled heavily, and then deliberately coughed twice, "Did I? Are you sure? How come I don't remember it?" Adele curled her lips. Although she did
Elroye kept shaking his hands. His face twisted and he looked very funny. "D*mn! How can you really bite me?" He blew at his hand twice and said with grievances. He looked so wronged and no longer grinned or teased her. Adele looked at the teeth marks on Elroye's back, pursing her lips and saying nothing. Although she felt a little sorry for what she had done, she didn't think that she had done anything wrong. If Elroye didn't do that or say those words just now, she wouldn't have bitten him. He... asked for it. "Hey! Don't you know that I was kidding? Can't you even take a joke?" He exhaled heavily, "How can we be friends since you're so unfriendly?" Adele turned her head, "Mr. Elroye, goodbye." "Hey!" Seeing that she was really going to leave, Elroye couldn't care about his painful hand and grabbed her by the shoulder. As soon as he touched her shoulder, he thought of what had just happened and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Time went by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, John was already sixty years old. He didn't like complicated things and didn't like to celebrate his birthday. However, Lydia insisted on holding a birthday party for him. Considering that he liked quiet atmosphere, Lydia didn't celebrate his birthday in style. She only invited some close friends. Benjamin and Isaac naturally went there. Arvis was already five years old. He was much more lively than a few years ago, but he was not particularly noisy. Adele was pregnant again. The child was less than five months old, but Isaac was very nervous and followed her everywhere. He was so careful that James and Benjamin couldn't stand him anymore. That day, James teased him, "Say, Isaac, why are you so cautious? Adele is not a porcelain doll. If you want to please her, you don't have to be so affected." Isaac handed a piece of apple to Adele. After she finished eating, he replied, "I love my wife.
John didn't expect that she would mention this matter on her own. He fell in love with her first and said that he wanted to get engaged to her, but she proposed to get married first. Was it even? However, he wasn't a strait-laced person. Besides, wasn't it a good thing that his beloved girl couldn't wait to marry him? If they got married, he could see her as soon as he got home from work, and she would accompany him for meals. If he worked at home, she would stay with him. When he woke up in the morning, he would see her sleeping face at once and say good morning to her. At night, they could sleep together. What a wonderful thing! They got married in early August. The wedding was very grand, and there were many guests. Almost everyone who had something to do with the Lu family and the Song family attended their wedding, and some even came from afar. The three floors in the most luxurious hotel in A City was filled to capacity. John would always
"Happy birthday to you!" She sang the birthday song softly. Her voice was dulcet and soft, and it was very pleasant to the ear. The candlelight on the cake flickered as she moved, and the fruit on the cake gleamed in the candlelight. As Lydia approached John step by step, he felt that he was going crazy. She preferred to wear dresses, but all her dresses were lovely. Sometimes, she wore like a read lady. But at this time... She wore a long black lace dress that only reached her bottom. It was so flimsy that he could see her underwear... Her bra and pants were red and sexy, which only covered the most important parts of her body... At this time, John was obsessed with her, and he was hot all over. He felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy. "John..." Lydia came to him and looked at him shyly. "Today is your birthday." He looked at her bright and affectionate eyes and couldn't help but
John's birthday was coming soon, and Lydia was very distressed, because she hadn't decided what to buy for him. It was in the dark ages of computing. There was a computer in her house, but the network was not very developed. Therefore, she only asked a few close friends about it. They told her that she could buy him tie, cuffs, and clothes, but she denied these ideas at once. John was born in a rich family. After he grew up, he became a very excellent businessman. He had received many expensive birthday gifts, let alone something like a tie. As his fiancee, she couldn't be perfunctory, could she? So, she went to the mall, but she didn't see anything she liked. It seemed that giving him a special and novel birthday gift was not easy. She didn't know how to make handwork or paint. She had learnt piano when she was young, but she gave up later. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt that she was so stupid. Except for the fact that she co
With the permission of Lydia's parents, John travel with her abroad for a few days. After coming back, he hired someone to teach her at home. Lydia had a feeling of freshness at the beginning. After all, she used to attend classes at school. At this time, she could learn knowledge at home. Moreover, the teachers were very careful and very patient. However, the next day, she was not willing to study like this, so she went to find John. "Why?" John was puzzled, "Is it because they can't teach their lessons well enough? If that's the case, I'll change new teachers for you tomorrow." "No!" She kept waving her hand, "They are very good teachers and they're patient, but..." She looked at him cautiously and thought twice before speaking, "They are just too patient, and they take good care of me as if I'm a child. I feel... a little stressful." John was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, "Is this the reason?" "Yeah." Lydia nodded, "But I am not a chil
Lydia really didn't go to school anymore. Although all the misunderstandings had been clarified, she didn't want to go to school again. On the second day after she went through formalities, Nina came to her and asked for her forgiveness. At that time, John was there, but later he found an excuse and went out. Lydia looked at Nina who had suddenly become much more haggard and sighed in heart. Why did Nina have to provoke her back then? "I'm sorry." Nina said softly. "Oh." Hearing this, Nina immediately got unhappy and glared at her with hatred, "Lydia, are you very smug now?" She was apologizing to Lydia, but Lydia actually replied to her so indifferently. Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think I'm smug now?" "I'm apologizing to you!" "I heard it. Didn't I answer you as well?" "You..." Nina sneered, "Is that your answer?" "What do you expect?" Lydia was puzzled, "How do you want me to answer you? Should I thank you w
Nina's voice came from the stereo around the playground. She had said a lot. There were so many people on the sports ground, but none of them spoke. They were all shocked and stunned. "As for what I said to Lydia, it was my prank. Actually, Lydia's fiance has nothing to do with me. I... just envied her for having such an excellent fiance and I was jealous. Therefore, I did that to her that day..." After she said this, the crowd, which had been quiet, suddenly burst into an uproar. "Oh my god! How could it be?" "I heard that she was very excited that day. She cried, knelt in front of Lydia and begged her. But she said it was a prank?" "She couldn't do that even if she wanted to prank on Lydia, could she? That is Lydia's fiance." "I don't think it's a prank. I was in the dormitory at that time and I saw it with my own eyes. Nina looked really sad. In my opinion, Lydia must have put pressure on Nina, so Nina has to do this." "Lydia's family
As soon as Lydia entered the school, she walked with her head down, because she was afraid of meeting acquaintances. Besides, with John holding her hand, she did not have to worry that she would fall down. After what had happened yesterday, she... had become quite well-known in school. "Lydia, look up." His voice was very soft, but she was somewhat pressurized. She gave him a resentful look, "Do you even want to force me to raise my head?" He chuckled, "Didn't you listen to my words carefully just now?" "Yeah." Lydia snorted, "But I came in here, didn't I?" She said, "You said those words indeed, and I think it makes sense, but... John, it's hard for me to do it, okay? I know I'm not wrong, but I'm very worried. You are not me, so you won't understand my mood." John sighed lightly and didn't know what to say at the moment. Although he didn't talk much in ordinary times, he did things in a decisive manner. Perhaps, he really had no way to
"John, you're here?" Nina ran into the house with great joy. Just now, she went out, but when she knew that he had come here, she rushed back, for fear that she would miss him. Fortunately, he had not left yet. Looking at John who was sitting in the living room, she was very happy, and her heart jumped very fast. John was very excellent, and she was infatuated with him. Although she had done such a thing, she didn't regret it at all. As long as she could be with him, she couldn't care about so much. That day... why on earth did he come here? Was it because Lydia couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with him? Had he found out how good she was? John raised his head and took a look at her. His eyes were very bland. When she was about to walk over, John stood up. He arranged his suit and said to her father, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer as I said. I hope to hear it tomorrow." Her father's face darkened, but he didn't dare to lose
