"Well..." Samuel scratched his head. While waiting for the traffic light, he turned around to look at James who was sleeping, and then said with embarrassment. "I think we'd better go to the back mountain." "Not today. Please just send us home." "Young Madam... Well, I'm not trying to go against you. But Mr. Lu just asked me to drive you there. If we go back to the South Lake..." President would definitely be angry with him. "He's so tired. I want him to go home and have a rest early. We can go to the back mountain another day." "That's also what I want. But you also know his temper. If he didn't want to go, he would have gone home long ago. How could he ask to send you to the back mountain by himself?" Elizabeth looked at his hand and knew that Samuel was right. If he really didn't want to go, how could he go with her in exhaustion? But even so, she still said, "Just do as I said." After that, she thought for a moment and added, "If he's really angr
"Yes." The man nodded. Then he put down the firewood on his back, and even took a step forward. Seeing this, Elizabeth's heart jolted. She immediately stepped back. While backing away, she said in a panic, "Don't... Don't come over!" She really shouldn't have done this today! If she didn't come here or came with Samuel, she wouldn't be as flustered and helpless as she was now. She thought so in her heart, but she did not give up. While she was stepping back, she suppressed the fear in her heart and looked at her side quietly to see if there was anything that could be used for self-defense. However, aside from the lush weeds, there was nothing else that could be used for defense. Looking at the tall man in front of her, Elizabeth knew very well that even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't run away at all. She wanted to call for help too, but she didn't dare call directly in front of the man. If she put the phone behind her back, she couldn't make a
From the cabin to the top of the mountain, the dense weeds were shoveled by Abram. So there was a relatively wide path here. With the gratitude and touching for James and the excitement to see her parents soon, Elizabeth walked quickly to the top of the mountain accompanied by Abram. As they approached, Abram stopped following her and said, "Young Madam, I'll wait for you here." "Okay," Elizabeth replied with a smile because of his carefulness. She suddenly thought of coming over today, so she didn't buy anything. She stood in front of her parents' graves with nothing in her hand. For a moment, her eyes were filled with tears. But even so, she still smiled. After looking at the two photos in front of her for a long time, she said softly— "Dad, mom! I'm here today... I want to tell you that I got back everything you left. Are you happy?" "I'm sorry! I was so stupid and naive before. I must have worried you a lot before, right? I've let you
James was awakened by the sound of Samuel answering the phone. He moved his stiff neck and looked at the source of the voice in a daze. After listening for a moment, he probably knew that Samuel was talking about work. He habitually raised his wrist to check the time. It was 7:10 p.m. Had he slept for such a long time? He looked at the scenery outside the window. After a while, he realized where he was. He looked back at the place next to him and found no one was there. "Where is she?" Samuel, who was answering the phone, turned around and asked, "President, are you awake?" James did not answer, and ignored that he was on the phone. He asked again, "I ask you, where is she?" Samuel said to the phone, "Sorry, I'll call you later." Then he hung up the phone. "Young Madam went up the mountain." Hearing this, James frowned, and felt some displeasure. "Why didn't you wake me up just now?" He had gone to that place once
Hearing that, Elizabeth couldn't help but pause. She widened her tearful eyes and listened quietly. She was afraid that she would miss any chance to be saved. After listening for a while, there was no sound around except for the barking of dogs and the chirping of insects. The little joy that had risen before gradually turned into disappointment. It turned out that she had an illusion because she was too anxious to be found by James or someone else. Suddenly, the wind blew, rustling the leaves. Listening to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, Elizabeth felt as if it was the sound of a snake moving through the grass. She was both lost and scared, so the slightest sound made her feel very nervous. Her throat tightened and her heart beat faster. Although she was afraid, her mind was clear. She knew that it was not a good idea to keep waiting like this. She couldn't make a sound now. If James and the others were looking for her, it would be hard to fi
"James, what's going on?" Elizabeth was stunned and could not help but ask him worriedly. Hearing this, James said in a low voice in a hurry, "Don't say anything yet!" As soon as he finished speaking, Elizabeth heard a rustling sound behind James. Through the light from the phone, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black snake rapidly hiding into the weeds. Elizabeth instantly opened her eyes wide in horror and felt that her whole body was numb because of seeing it. Out of instinct, when she saw what she was most afraid of, she couldn't help but want to scream. But she didn't dare. She was afraid that her voice would disturb it. The moment before she was about to scream, she quickly reached out her hand that was not caught by him and covered her mouth. In the blink of an eye, the snake disappeared completely. The rustling sound she had just heard was gone in seconds. When everything calmed down again, Elizabeth put down her trem
Elizabeth didn't say anything, just stared at him for a while. Then she suddenly knelt down in front of him, and put his legs on her legs. After that, she uncovered his trousers from the wound on his right leg. When she saw the small and dark wound on his leg, her heart ached badly. James widened his eyes. "... What..are you..." Before he could finish his words, Elizabeth suddenly lowered her head. She began to suck the poisonous blood directly outward from the wound on his calf. "......" When James found her lips on his legs, although he couldn't feel anything now, her actions still stunned him. After a long time, he realized what she was doing and tried to raise his voice. "What are you doing?" "..." She did not answer. She spat out the blood to the ground, and then repeated it. She had just fallen and felt a little more awake. She realized a problem that she had never thought of just now. She was not familiar with the road. S
After waiting for a long time, James, who had finally calmed down, whispered, "Elizabeth..." "......" "Let's go." Elizabeth did not answer, but just lowered her head and nodded. "Help me up first." Elizabeth nodded again, then lowered her head to stand up and bent over to help him up. With her help, he struggled to stand up and put all his weight on his left foot. He said embarrassingly, "How's your injury? Maybe... maybe you need to help me..." James really didn't want to say that. He never thought he would one day be a burden to someone else. Especially when the other one was injured as well. But he had no other choice. They could not stay here overnight. Although she had helped him clear his poisonous blood, it wasn't completely cleaned up yet. In any case, they couldn't stay here any longer. However, it was all thanks to her. Otherwise, he might have fainted a long time ago. How could he be so sober and talk to h
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
