"Which one do you want?" James eventually took her to the piano shop and turned to ask her opinion. "..." She didn't speak, and she just felt so bad. "I know that are not good enough. You can buy one first. Tomorrow I'll order a best one in Germany for you. Is that okay?" She shook her head and thought, "I'm leaving soon, why are you still buying this for me? The manager at the side also said at this time, "We have pianos for all classes here. What kind of piano do you want? If you're not happy with them, our headquarters can customize to suit your needs." "No need." Elizabeth shook her head and raised her head slightly to look at James. "Let's go. I really don't want it." "..." James frowned, and his irritation was driving him crazy. "Let's go." After that, she went straight past him and headed for the door. Looking at her back, James wiped his face helplessly and said to the manager beside him, "Choose the most expensive one here
After entering the private room reserved by Isaac, James walked over with an unhappy look and sat down on the sofa nearest to him. Adele Sheng pressed the pause button on the music device and greeted him on the microphone, "Jimmy, long time no see. How's it going? Isn't your wife coming?" He looked at Adele with a faint expression and nodded. "Glad to see you, Adele." Isaac glanced at Benjamin on the side, then took two glasses of wine and sat down beside James. "Hey! Didn't I ask you to come long ago? Why did you come so late?" As he said this, he looked at the direction of the door, "Didn't you say that you wanted to bring Elizabeth? Where is she?" James took the wine and gulped it down. "She has something to do, so she can't come." "Oh, really? Adele said she wanted to see your wife! What a pity." "......" Benjamin also came over at this time, "You are so fast. I didn't expect that you could finish such a complicated thing in just
James had been sitting in the same position for nearly two hours, but his irritation hadn't diminished. At the end of the song, Adele, who had been drinking a lot, pressed the pause button again. She leaned on the jukebox to hold the microphone and looked in the direction of Benjamin and Isaac with her drunken eyes. She giggled and said vaguely in that direction, "Today.... I'm back. Thank you all for coming... I'm glad..." Hearing this, Isaac, who was having a laugh with Benjamin, frowned and looked at the drunken Adele with some displeasure. "We have known each other for almost twenty years... It's so good. For so many years, we... are still together... I'm very grateful for our precious friendship... Someone told me that... he always cared for me as his sister and friend..." James, who had not raised his head all the time, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. He stared at Adele, and his face became more gloomy. "Well, that's great... to see you
In the small garden, several lights were turned on. Although they were not very bright, he could see the situation inside clearly. Elizabeth sat on the swing, and he couldn't know what she was looking at. He stood not far behind her and looked at her for a long time, but she did not move. After a few steps, James stopped in front of her. Elizabeth had just stared at the ground. Suddenly, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her sight. Her eyelashes trembled, but she did not lookup. James stood in front of her and looked at her for another two minutes. He didn't see that she had any intention to look up and talk to him. He coughed softly and said, "Elizabeth, it's cold. Why are you still sitting here?" "......" He sighed slightly. "Elizabeth..." As soon as he said this, she still maintained her position just now, but she interrupted what he wanted to say, "James, do you want to put me under house arrest?" "..." James frowned
The moonlight was hazy, covering the two people in the garden with a layer of silver. It was dreamy and warm. Before she could say anything, he swallowed the words with a kiss on her lips. Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. At that moment, her eyes widened in surprise. Looking at him who was close to her, she couldn't believe what had happened. The warmth on her lips was his temperature. She could even feel the slight tremor on his lips. So, he... was kissing her? Her heart was beating so fast as if it was about to jump out. She couldn't help trembling. Her long and curling eyelashes were blinking like two small fans. James's face was a little itchy by her eyelashes. He opened his eyes and saw her staring at him fiercely. He was stunned for a while and only felt a little embarrassed. He left her lips with some discomfort and muttered in a low and depressed voice, "Elizabeth, haven't you kissed before? Don't you know how to close your eyes?" Be
Sitting side by side on the swing of the garden, James held Elizabeth's shoulder with one hand and let her lean in his arms. He held her left hand with the other hand and stroked it with his fingers from time to time. He was like a child who got a toy that he loved so much and couldn't let it go. Elizabeth cherished and appreciated this rare moment. They confessed their love for each other. They no longer had to guess and fathom each other's thoughts through their casual glances and gestures. They both got what they wanted in the end. It was a wonderful feeling. "Is it tired to sit like this?" They had been sitting in this position for a long time. She was afraid that he would be tired, so she asked softly. James smiled gently. "I'm not tired." He never used to like sitting all the time. But now, he sat with her. Even if they didn't say anything, he didn't feel dull at all, but felt serene and content instead. "James..." "What?" "I wan to say.
Looking at James like this, Elizabeth paused for a moment and didn't continue to close the door. She opened the door a little, "Well, what's wrong?" Her heart beat faster. His actions and expression made her feel as if he was about to break through the door and pounce on her. "I..." The hand he didn't have against the door couldn't help but curl into a fist, "I..." "What?" James closed his eyes irritably, "I mean... You..." He couldn't say what he wanted to say. He just felt depressed. After thinking for a while, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him. He stared at her for two seconds, then leaned over and kissed her. "I haven't say good night to you yet." Then he kissed her again. "Have a good night, Elizabeth." ...... After taking a shower, Elizabeth lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. She touched her lips like a little girl who had done a bad thing. She giggled from time to time and felt that the
The next day, James, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to send Elizabeth to Kuture. He sat in the car and relentlessly watched her enter the building. Then he hummed and drove to his company. When he was in the meeting, he even smiled all the way. He barely contradicted anything his employees said. More strangely, from entering the conference room to the end of the meeting, he did not raise his head to look at the employees. He kept his head down and looked at the mobile phone in his hand. Samuel sat next to him and looked at his president from time to time strangely. He occasionally opened WhatsApp and sent out a message. If there was a message back, he would immediately click on it and then quickly reply back. If he didn't see the reply, he would light up the screen and kept looking at the screen. Until the screen went dark, he would swipe across it again to maintain it light. Samuel plucked up his courage and slightly stretched his neck to loo
