"Give it to me?" Elizabeth pointed at her nose in a daze. She was stunned. "Yes." The man chuckled and nodded. Although Evelyn had felt that this man had the temperament of an artist and he looked not annoying, she said at this time, "Hey, can you think about it carefully before you speak? Can you give her this painting as you wish? Do you think you own this gallery?" As soon as she finished speaking, a thought flashed through her mind, and then she said in surprise, "Don't tell me that you're..." Since he could give the painting to Elizabeth, he couldn't just be an employee here, so there was only one possibility— "Are you... Sebastian?" Hearing this, Elizabeth looked at the man in front of him in shock. Sebastian smiled slightly and then nodded. "Oh my god!" Evelyn was stunned for a moment and then let out a cry of surprise. Her loud voice attracted the attentions of the people around them. Noticing the eyes of the other people, Evelyn covere
After the painting was packed, Sebastian saw them off personally and even hailed a taxi for Elizabeth. Before getting on the car, Elizabeth thanked him again and again, but he said, "It's no bother. Just remember what I said to you just now." Along the way, Elizabeth was in a daze. She felt that in addition to giving her her painting, Sebastian said those words and cared about her like her acquaintance. She was not the only one who thought like this. Even Evelyn was aware of it, "Elizabeth, did you know Sebastian before?" "How could it be possible? Do you think I looked like to know him?" Evelyn thought about it carefully, and then nodded and said, "That's right." After that, she frowned, pursed her lips and said curiously, "It's really weird, isn't it? He said that he gave you this painting because he thought you understood him, but he looks unemotional and aloof. Oh, no, it should be said that he is even cold to people who know him, but he..." "I d
"Thank you." Elizabeth smiled gently, "By the way, is Doctor Bai all right?" "Isaac will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Let's go to see him together tomorrow." Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, "He's going to leave the hospital tomorrow? Why doesn't he stay there for a few more days?" "He's in a hurry to leave there, so let it be." Elizabeth nodded and said, "By the way, did you find his mom and Adele's mom?" Hearing this, James looked a little serious. He pinched the place between his eyebrows which was a little painful and said, "No." After that, he gritted his teeth and added fiercely, "Maxwell is so scheming!" Elizabeth got anxious, "What should we do? I don't know if he treats them well." "Don't worry. Maxwell did that to force Isaac and Adele. But now it seems..." "What? Does he really want to lock them up and not let them go?" As Elizabeth said this, she was very angry, "If Doctor Bai knows this, what should we do?"
James looked at Elizabeth's anxious face and frowned instantly, "What happened?" "Doctor Bai is engaged!" Hearing this, James frowned even harder and asked, "What? Engaged?" Not long after he came to the company, there was something wrong with the project abroad. He went to hold the meeting, so he didn't know about it at all. Moreover, he didn't hear such news before he went to hold the meeting. Elizabeth did not say anything else. She quickly turned on her mobile phone and found the news about Isaac. Then she handed the phone to him and said, "Look. The second son of the Bais in A City. This is Doctor Bai indeed! Moreover, there is a photo, and the person in the photo is clearly him!" It couldn't be a mistake. It was Isaac's name and the person in the photo was him. Who else could it be? James took the phone and glanced at it. He had mixed feelings in heart, which made him uncomfortable. Seeing this, Samuel knew that they had something to say,
When James hung up the phone, Elizabeth grabbed her hair, "Did I... misunderstand Doctor Bai?" When James talked to Benjamin on the phone just now, although she did not know what Benjamin had said, she heard what James had said clearly. During that period of time, she thought a lot. When she heard the news of Isaac's engagement, she was so angry and anxious that she couldn't think about anything else. After listening to James's words, she felt guilty that she had wronged Isaac. At the same time, she felt sad for Isaac. He was almost hopeless, but he had to compromise for something and suffer grievances. Hearing her words, James didn't blame or ridicule her. He just smiled faintly at her and lit up a cigarette. After a long while, he said, "Honey, I can understand your mood just now. I don't blame you." Elizabeth walked over and stood in front of him, "Then tell me, if Doctor Bai really chose to get engaged for his mother and Adele's mother, will Maxwell...
After having lunch in Lu Mansion and chatting with John and Lydia for a while, James went upstairs to take a nap. Looking at his back, John frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Lydia, however was different. Looking at James's thin back, she said with distress, "Alas, he doesn't tell us anything, but he must be very sad in heart." Elizabeth pursed her lips and felt a little somber in her heart, but she didn't say a word. Even she was so sad, and James must be much sadder than her. Sometimes, men didn't show all their emotions. "Elizabeth." "Hmm?" When Elizabeth heard Lydia calling her, she immediately came to her senses, "What's wrong, mom?" "How are you? Are you in a better mood?" Elizabeth smiled and said, "Yeah, I feel much better. Thanks for your concern, mom." "You don't have to be so polite!" Lydia looked at her reproachfully and then sighed, "I really feel distressed for Isaac. Today, your dad and I watched the news, and we kn
When the comers appeared in the dinning room, Elizabeth was the most surprised one. She stood by the dining table and looked at Zena who was dressed in a long dress. She then looked at the man beside her and felt that this world was too small. That man was Sebastian who sent her the painting yesterday. However, when she saw Zena here last time, she heard that Zena's boyfriend was named Xavier. So, was Xavier Sebastian? No wonder James said that he knew Sebastian. At that time, he also said that he didn't expect such a lofty person like Sebastian would send a painting to her. She was in shock when Zena said with a smile, "Auntie, Uncle, I didn't inform you in advance that we would come here. I hope I didn't disturb you." Lydia waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? Your uncle and I are so happy to see you here. Don't be so polite, and make yourself at home." Xavier glanced at Elizabeth blandly before turning to look at Lydia and J
Zena's hand which was holding the chopsticks paused, but in less than a second, her expression returned to normal. She put the food into Xavier's bowl and turned to Elizabeth with a smile, "Oh. Elizabeth, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking." Elizabeth smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Zena. Your cooking skills are better than me." At this time, Xavier said, "Pretty good." He praised the cooking skills, but he didn't express it clearly. But all the people present knew whose cooking skills he was referring to in an instant. John and Lydia knew Xavier well. Although they were surprised to hear his words, they only thought that he was just being polite and didn't think too much. However, Zena pressed her lips and didn't say anything, while James frowned. Elizabeth smiled awkwardly and thanked him. She only felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, so she didn't say anything else and ate silently. James picked some di
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
