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.
I love you, like a tsunami rolling, like the wind rolling in the sand. I love you so much that I'm almost out of my mind. If you had known how much I love you, I would have saved all my love and devotion over the years and waited wholeheartedly, just for you to come by! —James Lu On the 27th floor of the Grand Dynasty Hotel. With a room card in one hand, Elizabeth Liang tried to walk straight with the support of the wall. Then she staggered out of the elevator. Her fair-skinned face was blushing from alcohol, yet it only makes her look innocent and lovely. "This one?" Elizabeth finally walked to the room door. Looking at the gilded numbers on it, for a moment she couldn't be sure. Big sis said the room number was 2703. Or was it 2708? 2703? Then is it 8 or 3 on the door? Elizabeth had drunk too much, and her head hurt. Her clear eyes were also a little blurred. She tilted her head and looked at it for a while but failed to distinguish the
The night wind blew the white curtains gently, bringing in the cool breeze. In the darkroom, the floor was littered with clothes. Elizabeth Liang felt awful and dizzy, and she could feel him kissing her the whole time. When she couldn't take anymore, he finally fell asleep, with her in his arms. … When Elizabeth woke up, she was snuggling against the man's chest with her head resting on his powerful arm. She could feel that neither of them were wearing anything. Her heart jumped and she tried to recall in a panic what had happened last night. Turns out, what happened last night was all real, it wasn't a dream, she had really become Theodore Chao's and spent the night with him. Realizing this, Elizabeth frowned. Although Theodore had mentioned that he wanted to be with her, he had never asked again after she righteously declared she has to wait until the wedding night. But last night, he... She passed out last night from exhaustion w
In the bathroom, Elizabeth Liang looked at herself in the mirror. She almost couldn't recognize herself. Her neck and body were covered in the aftermath of lovemaking, these bruises and marks were proof of how crazy last night was. If they were from Theodore Chao, it would've been fine. They were going to get married sooner or later. But, this was all from a strange man she had never even met before! Elizabeth thought of Theodore, and she couldn't hold in her sad and regretful tears anymore. Sure, there are many unmarried couples who live together in today's world, but she just couldn't accept that she gave her the first time so carelessly to a stranger. How was she supposed to face Theodore? She must ask the man outside why he is in her room! ****** When Elizabeth walked out of the bathroom, she saw that the man had already put on his clothes. He was sitting on the single-person sofa in the room dressed in a classy black handmade a
The cheque drifted around in torn pieces, whirling gracefully in the air and falling to the ground. James Lu looked at the woman's stubborn face and suppressed his displeasure. "I only meant well." Elizabeth Liang sneered and said, "I know you meant well, but it means differently to me. It was my mistake to enter your room and be dragged onto the bed by you. It's all my fault. So, keep your money, I don't want it." She turned around to leave. She really didn't want to stay here anymore. Everything here was telling her about the absurd mistake she had made last night. "Wait!" Seeing her turn around, James said lightly, "I said I meant well." He didn't even know why he was still explaining, "If you won't accept my money, please let me send you home." Elizabeth raised the corner of her lips. "No, thank you." She wishes she would never see him again! He looked all over her and sneered. "Are you sure you want to go out like this?" Hearing this, she
"We're here." They arrived at an old villa district with nice greenery. "Thank you." Elizabeth Liang came to herself, then opened the door and went out before he could say anything. James Lu looked at Elizabeth's dejected figure from behind. He frowned, then lit a cigarette, and started the car. Elizabeth entered the living room, and to her surprise her paternal uncle August Liang and aunt Charlotte Dong were both present, sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking at something. Aunt Charlotte seemed particularly excited, overjoyed at something in her hand. She wanted to go upstairs without being noticed, but her cousin Josephine Liang came down the stairs after only two steps. "Elizabeth, where were you?" She asked in a displeased tone. Elizabeth stopped and frowned. Where was she? Didn't her cousin know? Sure, Elizabeth entered the wrong room, but it was Josephine who deliberately gave her the wrong room card! Could it be... tha
"Because you're a drag." Theodore Chao looked at her, expressionless. "Ha..." Elizabeth Liang couldn't help but laugh softly. He had been engaged to her since she was a child. Through all these years, no one was as gentle and caring to her as he was. She really thought that he was the one. He told her a month ago that he needed to go abroad for official business. She sent him off at the airport, and he told her to wait for him to come back... Wait for him, so he could be with her cousin, and tell her that she's a drag? A drag? "Just because I didn't sleep with you?" Drowned in sadness, she stared into his eyes, hoping to find a trace of dishonesty. But there was none. "Elizabeth, we've known each other for so long. Leave before things get ugly." Elizabeth felt like she had just heard a joke. "You want me to leave this place? This is Liang estate! It's mine! My parents left it to me!" "Yours?" Like a smug villain, Charlotte Don
Looking at the tightly shut metal gate, Elizabeth Liang felt numb. This house was left to her by her parents, but she has now become an unrelated outsider. How could she have lost, over one night: her virginity, the caring people she always thought of as her family, her home, the company that her parents worked so hard to build, and her boyfriend whom she thought would be her last love... And now, she only had a suitcase by her side. See, they had already packed up everything that belonged to her. She told them that she was going to take back the Liang Mansion and the Liang Company. But with what? "Haha..." She couldn't help but laugh. Looked at her now, shouldn't she worth laughing? ****** James Lu was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. He turned his head for a second and caught sight of something stuck between the gap in the passenger seat. He took it out and saw that it was a library card from A University. It loo

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
