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
James heard this and looked at Xavier's slightly pale face. His eyes were dark and gloomy as he said, "So what?" Seeing this, Xavier smiled, "Ha! I thought you would really only love Zena for the rest of your life." James closed his eyes dejectedly, and his mouth tightened into a thin line. "What's wrong? Or do you still love Zena under the cover of your marriage with Elizabeth? You just think that Zena has slept with me and she's dirty? However, since you loved her so crazily in the past, even if she has slept with me and has slept with so many people, you will still love her, won't you? When we were eating just now, she looked at you many times. It seems that she still has a good impression of you, right?" "What the hell are you talking about?" James couldn't help but growl. Xavier seemed to be quite satisfied with James's expression at this moment. He sneered, "Don't you know what I'm talking about?" James took a few deep breaths and forced himsel
James drove very fast. He stared at the road ahead with his lips tightly pursed. The car was as fast as an arrow that had left the bow, driving past at a dizzying speed. "Isn't it improper for us to leave like this?" Elizabeth grabbed the seat belt tightly and asked hesitantly. Just now in the living room, James didn't wait for his parents to speak and didn't pay attention to Zena's expression. After saying that, he took her away. After a while, James said, "No." "Well..." Elizabeth looked at his side face and said, "I understand your mood, but your words seemed to be a little hurtful just now. After all, Zena is a girl, and... Xavier was still there. You didn't show respect to them." James smiled and asked absent-mindedly, "Really?" "Of course." "Maybe." James said faintly, and his face darkened more and more. He did not say anything else, because there were something that he didn't want her to know. He was so irritated that he rol
"Xavier, are you angry?" Zena asked cautiously after they went out of Lu Mansion and got on the car. When they went back, it was Xavier who was driving the car. He held the steering wheel and smiled blandly when he heard that, "Why do you ask like this?" "I drove to Jimmy's house without your permission..." As she said, she turned to look at his handsome and white face. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "I just thought that you suffer from a cough, and the stewed pear cooked by Auntie Chang is very effective, so I went there on my own." "Okay." Xavier nodded, "I know you did that for my own good. You don't have to think too much about it." Zena looked at him again and said apologetically, "But I didn't know that Jimmy would be here. I'm sorry." "What's there to be sorry about? That's his home after all. It's not strange for him to be there, isn't it?" He said blandly in a calm tone, as if he really didn't mind it. Zena smiled and did not sa
Jangling— The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was particularly harsh. The speed of the car was not fast, but Xavier suddenly turned the steering wheel when he heard Zena's words, not caring whether there was a car behind him. He stamped hard on the accelerator and parked the car on the side of the road. Zena let out a soft cry when the car was suddenly parked. She hit the windshield and then was thrown back to the seat heavily. However, Xavier sat there steadily and looked at the dash-board in front of him. His expression didn't change, but his mouth tightened into a thin line. He was holding the steering wheel tightly, and his eyes were extremely red. Blue veins stood out on his white and good-looking hands, which showed how much strength he had used. He grabbed the steering wheel tightly as if it was not an ordinary steering wheel, but the neck of someone he wanted to kill. Sometimes, he wanted to forget some moments of his past delibe
The car drove out of the main road of the fourth ring and went straight to the fifth ring road. But that direction was not the direction to go home. "Where are we going?" Elizabeth looked at the scene outside the window and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to do?" James smiled when he heard that, "Don't be so nervous." After that, he reached out and rubbed her hair, "We'll be there soon." The car drove very fast. At this time, there were only a few cars on the fifth ring road. Soon, the car climbed the twisting mountain road. Elizabeth looked at the road ahead and clenched her hands into fists subconsciously. Even though it was at night and there were no street lamps on the road, she knew that it was the road to South Mountain. They came to South Mountain at this time... Halfway up the hill, she suddenly realized that there was originally only one road here, but a new road had appeared at the side. A tunnel needed to be built beca
