"It's none of your business, Theodore?" Elizabeth Liang's tone was full of sarcasm. "Or, do you think you are still my...?" Theodore was devastated to hear this. His chest heaved violently and his face wore an unmistakable expression of hurt. "..." Elizabeth didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she turned around and was about to leave without washing her hands. Theodore Chao was unwilling to give up. In the past, he's always greeted by Elizabeth with a smile? How could she treat him like this? He reached out his hand to grab her arm to stop her from leaving. "Elizabeth!" Elizabeth finally stopped. She turned her head to look at his hand on her arm, her eyes impatient. Not wanting to face the man in front of her, and with a faint, aching stomach, she fretted and frowned, 'Will you let me go, please?' Theodore Chao was stunned but eventually had to withdraw his hand. Glancing at the girl in front of him, who was as cold as a stranger, he sai
"But don't forget, you can take it away from me, and maybe someday someone will take it from you. I've moved on a long time ago. He doesn't deserve it. I don't like him anymore, but there are still others like you who might have bad tastes." For the first time, she knew how good it felt to refute the people she hated. "You... you, you..." Josephine Liang's hands, which were clenched into fists, couldn't stop trembling. The anger in her heart was clearly visible. As if she was trying to prove it to herself, she shouted, "Theodore will not leave me forever!" "You're being jealous, aren't you? Don't think that I don't know what you're up to!" "......" Just now, because of Josephine's sudden appearance, she didn't have time to turn off the tap, and the water was still flowing. Elizabeth didn't want to reply to her meaningless and boring words, so she turned around and turned off the tap. Josephine was so angry that she could not bear it.
"You dare touch her again!" With a roar, he came from behind. Then, Elizabeth Liang's forehead touched something warm, thick, and slightly hard. "Hmm..." Elizabeth grunted in a low voice, only to open her eyes sharply at the sound she had just heard. On the wall in front of her, it was his hand which just shielded her. Her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the man who was standing beside her, her eyes watery. Once again, he was her knight. The touch in her heart made her choked with sobs. "James..." James's face flamed with anger. His eyes were sharp and mad with rage. He was like a vampire from hell, full of danger. This sudden change sent a quiver down Josephine's spine. Her hand holding Elizabeth's thin hair trembled and she eased her strength. She had not expected James's presence here at this moment, and she shuddered at the sight of him now, frightened by what had happened last time. She seemed genuinely startled
No! She was in a panic. She didn't want to be misunderstood by him. This made her fidget. How could she bear it at this moment, when what Josephine said had been nonsense? She blurted out, "No..." At the word "no," James sneered at Josephine breezily: "You hear that? She said no!" Elizabeth's unsettled heart was relieved by his words. She felt something pleasant hit her heart. She thought he would misunderstand and be angry, but how could she know that he defended her without being given a full explanation? Her nose was a little red, and her eyes were also swollen. But even if she was moved to tears, she did not want to shed it in front of Josephine Liang. So she tried to sniff and took a few deep breaths to suppress her tears. Josephine didn't expect that James would respond with such an attitude, and she's stunned. In most of the case, men would be pissed off and incline to lose judgment. She failed sowing discord and he defended Eliza
Because James Lu consumed wine, he didn't intend to drive his car back. When he came out of the restaurant, he didn't call a taxi. He just strode ahead in a bad mood. Elizabeth Liang guessed that he was still angry about the encounter with Josephine Liang and didn't dare to talk to him. she followed him closely with mixed feelings. He was tall, more than 1.8 meters, and she could only reach his shoulder at most. His back was very straight. From a distance, he looked like a tall green pine. In fact, He had a bad temperament, childish, overbearing, arrogant, and coquettish. He would lose his temper from time to time. He would make others unhappy when he's in a good mood. But when he was in a bad mood, he would be like a bomb ready to explode. Uh... and he got a sharp tongue. If he was provoked, he will make sure to strive back. But it's also him, who would bring her the inarticulated warmth and the revelation that even if the sky's falling down there's still him
"I'm asking you a question!" He sat up all of a sudden. "Answer me!" "I... I..." James Lu has a short temper. How can he stand her stalling all the time? He took her by the shoulder and turned her toward him. "What? I asked..." As soon as he saw her pale, sweaty face, he hold back the rest of the words. He was anxious. "What's the matter?" Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Where did Josephine hit you just now?" "It's not that." Elizabeth shook her head. "I... I just feel a little pain in my stomach." He was relieved a bit first, but soon became agitated by the following words. He instantly pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he softened his voice. "When did it start?" "Ah?" She did not understand what he was asking. "Don't you have a stomachache? When did it hurt?" "Just now... after dinner..." He sorted out the situation of tonight and then grumbled, "So, was it painful when you quarreled with Josephine?"
"Hmm?" He did not stop. "What's wrong?" "..." She didn't speak, but shook her head gently. Nothing. She just wanted to call his name like that... She put her chin on his shoulder, her arms around his neck, and her legs swayed as he walked. This was not the first time that they were so intimate. He hugged her before. But this time, because of her position, she could observe him recklessly. His short and inky hair, his beautiful ears and neck, the smell of sandalwood and smoke on his body, were so clear in such a short distance, enticing all her senses. "How long has it been? How long has it been since the last time someone has ever carried her like this?" She's down in her memory lane, "Oh, it seems that the last time I was carried, it's more than ten years ago by my father." Even if with Theodore Chao, her nominal fiancée later, he had never treated her like this. She's touched and she wanted to cry. She had been tempted to shed t
"Of...of course...haha..." Elizabeth forced herself to smile, pretending not to care. At the moment, she didn't really know what else to say or do. She couldn't say she didn't want to be his friend, could she? If she plucked the courage to say, "I like you," would that only end in self-humiliation? What's more, since they lived together now, they would only be embarrassed for her overreach. And it's possible that they even can't be friends? She replied in defiance of the heart, but at least she could live with him in a relatively harmonious way. Uh... Even if it's unrequited love, it was good for her to be around him, wasn't it? Hearing her positive answer, James Lu frowned even more tightly. Wasn't that the best he could have hoped for? Why was the agitation in his heart so obvious and made him want to curse? Fighting against the annoyance in his heart, he said reluctantly in a bad tone, "Yes." For a moment, neither of them spoke a word.
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
