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
"What is it?" "We have known each other for many years, and maybe you also think that you know me very well. But do you know that even an affectionate person would be cold-hearted one day, if being disappointed for too long?" Upon hearing this, Zena's entire body shook, and so did her heart. "Also, I may not know Elizabeth before, but why can't I fall in love with her at first sight?" Maybe he hadn't told Zena all of the truth. After all, he fell in love with Elizabeth during the days they got along with each other. But that day when he woke up in the hotel, although he was shocked and angry, the guilty and cherish in his heart was what he had never had for a stranger, especially for a woman. "I don't want to hear something like this in the future, especially in front of my wife. I hope you can understand. She is a very simple and kind person, and I don't want her to suffer unnecessary harm. Just take what happened before as a jerk's joke. Now, you have be
It was only seven o'clock after they finished dinner. Adele seemed tired and out of sort, so she went upstairs to have a rest. Then, James took Elizabeth to the study. "Adele is like this the whole day?" As soon as they entered the study, James asked. Elizabeth nodded, "Yes. After lunch, I originally wanted to chat with her. I hope that it would make her cheer up, but she only said that she was tired, so I couldn't say anything more." "I see." "However, I don't think it's a good idea." Elizabeth thought for a moment. "I don't know how your relationship is, but Adele... Anyway, the child belongs to both her and Isaac. It's not a good idea for her to hide like this all the time." "I know, I'll talk to her." James replied, "Well, about Adele, let's put it aside first and take a look at your design first. If possible, I'll ask people to make it tomorrow." "Make it?" Elizabeth looked at him in doubt and asked, "You are in charge?" "That's righ
