James didn't go home the next day. She didn't know what he was busy with, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After all, as a "friend", she didn't feel right to ask him. If so, she would be embarrassed. On the third day, Elizabeth finished her work early. After telling the receptionist, she carried her bag to A University. Today is the day to announce the grades. She got out of the bus at the west gate. She made an appointment with Evelyn to wait here. When she just walked to the gate, she found that Evelyn was already waiting there. She was eating an ice cream and holding another in her hand. "Evelyn," Elizabeth walked over and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Evelyn's teeth ached because of the ice that she had just a bit. She opened her mouth to breath while shaking her head at her. After she recovered from that cold, she said, "No, I just arrived." With this, she handed the ice cream in her hand to Eliz
"Assistant Lee, may I ask where are we going?" Elizabeth asked as she got in the car. As Samuel turned the steering wheel, he apologetically replied, "Well..." Thinking of what his president asked, he gave her a vague answer. "Young Madam, please just go with me." Young Madam... This was not the first time that Samuel addressed her in this way. In the past two days, Jane also called her "Mrs. Lu". At first, she felt awkward and a little bit wired. However, the little joy in her heart couldn't be suppressed. After all, it was because they got married. Elizabeth pretended to ask casually, "Where is James?" "The president still has something to deal with, so I am coming to pick you up for the time being." "I know." Elizabeth nodded. Thinking that she hadn't seen him for two days, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is your company very busy recently?" He didn't go home for two days. Thinking of what Lu Enterprises was busy with, Samuel Le
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, James had not come yet. Samuel unlocked the car. "Young Madam, please wait in the car for a while. You're wearing high heels today. You'll be tired if you stand for a long time." "Okay." Elizabeth nodded. "What about you?" "Me?" Samuel waved his hand. "I've sent the president the location where we parked the car when we were upstairs. He'll come directly here later. I'll wait outside so that he won't walk past our car." As he said this, he smiled uneasily. Elizabeth looked at him, but felt that he didn't seem to be like what he had said—to wait for James to come. Instead... it seemed that he was still feeling embarrassed about what had happened just now. Thinking of this, she did not say anything and got into the car alone. About ten minutes later, James drove over. He drove very fast, as if he was in a hurry. After seeing Samuel, who was waving to him, he found a parking space near their car.
Looking at the streets which were getting more and more familiar, Elizabeth couldn't help but become nervous. She could clearly remember those roads and the scenery on the streets with her eyes closed. Even if she didn't come for some time because she was afraid of being homesick and sad, she had walked through them for more than a decade. How could she not know them or not be familiar with them? Why did James bring her here? She couldn't help but guess in her heart. She was a little nervous and excited, but she didn't dare to ask. She was afraid that they were was just passing by, or going somewhere just nearby. After passing through Jinyu Road, the car turned around at the intersection and entered Boming Road. Looking at the door that was getting closer and closer, her heart almost raised to her throat. She was excited and uneasy. She bit her lips tightly, and her hands were tightly holding one side of her dress. The strength was so strong that the hem o
She was led into the door by James, and the familiar structures and furnishings in the house made Elizabeth's nose sour again. Finally, she was back in this place. They walked through the foyer in a few steps. As soon as she was led by him to the living room entrance, she saw her uncle's family all sitting on the sofa. Beside each of them stood a tall man in a black suit with a sunken face. Her uncle August put his elbows on his knees and smoked in silence with a tight frown. He already had a lot of gray hair. Charlotte sat there crying, while Josephine just sat there with a pale face. Her lips were pursed tightly and no one knew what she was thinking. "Mr. Lu!" The man in the black suit who saw them first, greeted them respectfully. James did not answer, but just nodded slightly. Hearing the word "Mr. Lu", August's indifferent and cold eyes became relieved. Almost the moment he saw Elizabeth, a bitter smile crept over his face. Josephine's body froz
"......" Hearing this, except for the few men in black, all the people turned pale. Elizabeth's body trembled, and she couldn't help but look up at James. The protection in his words made her no longer calm. Her blood was boiling like it was on fire. She was completely frozen there. She stared at his good-looking face for a moment. She was so moved that her eyes were full of the gratitude of being well protected. And she had guessed a little bit when James asked August to pack up and leave. Now she heard the conversation between him and August. No matter how stupid she was, she probably knew the reason why he took her here today. She looked around the living room slowly, and her heart beat faster and faster. When she was considering to marry him, she told him the conditions of the marriage. In her memory, he did not promise her personally that he would help her get those things back. In recent days, she didn't mention it, nor did he mention
"..." August wiped his face in silence. Then he accepted his fate and said, "Go to pack up your things." "..." Charlotte was stunned and looked at August incredulously. She shook her head vigorously. She really couldn't accept August's decision. "August! You are such a loser! Do we have to do what they say? You don't even know how to argue, do you? My daughter and I have endured so many years of poverty and aggravation in this home. We deserved everything we worked so hard to get! You listen up! This house is mine! I'm not leaving! I will never leave! " "Charlotte!" August Liang sighed, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he was the one who made the mistake. "You deserved everything?" James repeated this sentence with wondering and looked at Charlotte sarcastically. "You are such a shameless freak." As soon as he finished his words, his face instantly changed. "Now that you have said what you want to say. Pack up all your things and get out of here quickly. Don
Thinking of what James said just now, Charlotte knelt down in front of Elizabeth without thinking. Elizabeth was frozen. She didn't expect Charlotte to really kneel down to her. To be honest, she hated her uncle's family. But when she faced Charlotte's behavior, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Before she did anything, James, who was next to her, sneered and said, "Is this all your family's sincerity?" As he said this, he glanced at Josephine. Josephine was stunned by Charlotte's sudden kneel. And now when she received James's obvious glance, she immediately opened her eyes wide and cried exasperatedly, "Do you want me to kneel down to her? Impossible!" Almost as soon as she finished her words, Charlotte grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. "Josephine, think about your father!" "..." Hearing this, Josephine felt so upset that she wants to cry. She couldn't say anything. For Dad's sake... Josephine resigned to her fate and closed her eye
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
