"..." 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
"What's wrong?" James did not take it seriously. "In my opinion, it's better for you to be the president directly. However, I think that you don't have experience in this field at all. It's good for you to start from the basics." Elizabeth was stunned. "Are you still talking about starting from the basics? Being a Design Director is basic?" "Then what else do you want? A designer?" "I think it's not bad to start from a designer." Elizabeth pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Although she was grateful that he thought for her all the time, she still said, "It needs experience and time to be a Director Designer. Although I like this job, I don't have enough experience, and I haven't graduated yet. Do you know what the staff will think of me if I become the Director Designer like this?" "Why do you care about that? If you want to go to the company, you can go. If you have a class, you can go back to school." "How can that be?" Elizabeth said disapproving
James reached over the steering wheel in an instant and turned the steering wheel hard, "Brake!" Screech-- There was a harsh sound of the brakes. Although James turned the steering wheel in the first time and Elizabeth also slamed on the breaks according to what he said, the car was still scratched to the roadside guardrail because of the sudden incident. Elizabeth didn't drive too fast, and both of them wore their seat belts, but the brakes were applied too quickly, so they both lurched forward a bit before being rebounded back into their seats. "Are you okay?" As soon as the car stopped, James turned his head and asked in a hurry. Due to the steering wheel was in front of Elizabeth, Elizabeth's forehead bumped on that. Fortunately, James reached out his hand to block in that instant, so she knocked into James's arm. Elizabeth looked at the arm in front of her in a daze. After a while, she nodded her head slowly like a puppet. She was still in
