Before Elizabeth finished her words, Zena, who had just finished eating, entered the living room. James and Elizabeth sitting next to each other. On seeing this, Zena greeted them with a soft smile. "..." James glanced at her lightly. After a long time, he nodded slightly to reply to her. Elizabeth saw this and said with a smile, "Zena, come and sit down." She liked Zena very much. She was not only beautiful, but also had a good temperament. Even her smile was gentle and charming, and she was a model of a well-educated young lady. Zena nodded with a smile and walked over to sit on the sofa opposite Elizabeth and James. She glanced at the bowl on the tea table and then looked at James. "It seems that Elizabeth cooks better." After that, Zena looked at Elizabeth and said, "Elizabeth, do you mind if I call you like this?" Elizabeth waved her hand repeatedly and said with a smile, "I don't mind. As you like." As he said this, she asked again, "Zena, did you re
Zena and Elizabeth walked side by side in front, and James walked slowly behind them. He lowered his head slightly, and no one could see his facial expression. As soon as she came to the side of the car, Zena suddenly picked up the pace a little and went around the front of the car to the passenger's side, pulling open the door first. Elizabeth stood at the side of the carriage. She stared blankly for a moment, then began to open the back door. "Wait a minute!" James suddenly said with a frown. Elizabeth didn't know what he was going to do. "What's wrong?" James didn't answer her. Instead, he looked at Zena, who was standing still because of his words, and said, "That's my wife's seat. Are you sure you want to sit?" As soon as he finished his words, he added with a little mockingly, "Zena?" Zena's body stiffened, and her expression turned a little unnatural. The seat of his wife... He even asked her if she wanted to sit... and called her
At the South Lake. As soon as they arrived home, Jane took over an exquisitely wrapped dark blue box and handed it to Elizabeth. "Madam, someone sent this over this afternoon." Elizabeth looked at the box and asked suspiciously, "What is it?" It seemed that she hadn't shopped online recently. "Do you know who sent it to you, Jane" Jane shook her head. "No. But he's well-dressed, and said it's what you ordered yesterday." "Yesterday?" Elizabeth thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I know, thank you." Elizabeth took the box and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! This speed is too fast!" James raised his eyebrows and glanced at the box in her hand. He asked, "What is it?" "You'll know later." Elizabeth blinked at him and didn't immediately say what it was. She just put the box on the tea table in the living room and opened it in front of him. "Surprise—" Elizabeth picked up the little things in the box and passed them to Ja
The streetlights from the courtyard to the gate were hazy. Elizabeth stood in front of the French window, staring at James all the way to the gate. Outside the gate stood a woman. Because of the light, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but it could be seen that she was wearing a white long dress, with her long hair softly scattered. Elizabeth pursed her lips and unconsciously clenched her fists. She was so nervous that her heart seemed to be gripped tightly by someone. "It's so late... Who's going to find James?" Such a situation had never happened before. To be honest, when James proposed to let her go with him, she had thought about agreeing, but she was a little nervous, so she refused. In the past, it was she who need his help. She also thought that there was no true love between the two of them, so she didn't dare to ask too much about his affairs. After they fell in love with each other, he treated her even better, and she really d
"..." Adele pressed her lips together and did not say a word. James's anger grew when he saw her didn't want to answer. He exclaimed, "Adele Sheng!" This roar brought with it a bit of anger. Even Elizabeth was shocked that she shivered a little. She couldn't help but look at James, and then looked back at Adele. Adele, on the other hand, was also tightly pursing her lips and trembling with fear. Elizabeth wanted to say something to comfort her, but when she saw James's angry look, she gave up. After a long while, Adele took a deep breath, looked up at James, and whispered, "Brother Jimmy... can... can you let me stay at your home for a few days?" James narrowed his eyes and did not speak for a moment. Adele looked at Elizabeth, who was sitting not far away from her, and said, "Elizabeth... I know it's a little abrupt, and I might disturb you... But I have no other choice now. Can you... can you help me persuade Brother Jimmy to let me stay here for a few d
"I..." Adele stood still as if there were roots on her feet, and she could not move. The expression on her face was complex. In the end, she could only squeeze out the words that she could think of, "Elizabeth... give it back to me, please." James looked over and saw Elizabeth holding a pair of baby shoes in her hands. He frowned and looked at Adele again. There was a silent inquiry. "Well..." Elizabeth looked at Adele and said, "Didn't you say that this was a present for your friend?" She didn't say the rest of the words, but the doubts in her heart were growing. Since the last time she met her in the mall with Lydia, more than half a month had passed. She didn't send it out, maybe because of the absence of her friends or she was too busy to give it out. But she took this with her at the very moment when she ran away from home, which was a little bit... "I..." Adele wanted to say something, but in the end, she just pursed her lips, not knowing how to say it.
James was about to speak when he heard Adele say, "Yeah, of course he should be looking for me. If he didn't catch me back, how could he reject his dishonored past?" "What do you mean?" James frowned. "..." Adele did not say anything, but gently shook her head. "Madam, the night snack is done. Will you have it now or later?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was slightly better, Jane dared to come out. Elizabeth had originally wanted to say 'later', but when she saw Adele sit still with her pale face and James's gloomy face, she wanted to ease the tension, so she said to Jane, "Then please take it there." "Yes, madam." Jane was fast enough. After a short while, she put three bowls of freshly cooked fish soup on a tray. After putting the bowls in front of the three of them, she took her leave. Elizabeth glanced at Adele and said, "Adele, you should also have some." As she said this, she picked up one of the bowls and handed it over.
James was sitting in his office looking at the documents when he heard the sound of the door opening. The door was gently closed, and then the sound of a woman's heel beating on the ground was heard. "Didn't I say that you don't need to send me lunch today and you should stay at home to..." Before he could finish his words, he looked up at the door, but when he saw the visitor, the smile on his face disappeared and he frowned slightly. "Why are you here?" Zena's lips curled into a smile as she waved the lunchbox in her hand. "I'm here to see you. I think it's almost noon, so I brought you lunch." James's brows knitted together as he looked at the lunch box. He looked at Zena and stared at her for a while. His thin lips twitched and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "You may send it to the wrong person." "No." Zena shook her head. "I'm here today especially to see you, Jimmy." "See me?" James snorted. "You send me lunch, but you didn't give it to your b
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
