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
"I am not lying. It's all true. You're so considerate, and you will understand me, right?" "No matter what I am doing and whether there is another woman by my side or not, you're my only wife in my heart." Saying this, he took out a blue velvet box from his pocket and opened it. There were two plain rings in it. Under the dim light, they had fine gloss. "They're all the people you used to care about the most. Today, I asked them to come here to... say goodbye to you. By the way, I want them to witness our marriage." After saying this, he suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of the stone tablet and raised the box in his hand high, "No matter what others think of me, I still want to ask you. Would you marry me?" Elizabeth finally understood why he hung those colorful lanterns and dressed so formally on such a sad day. It turned out that he wanted to propose to her. Proposing should show his sincerety and be romantic. Others didn't speak. Othe
It had been a long while since they came back from the mountain, but Elizabeth still couldn't calm down. As long as she thought of Isaac's appearance at that time, she couldn't help but feel sad. "James..." Seeing James coming out of the bathroom, Elizabeth called him. "Yeah." James's mood seemed to have been affected as well, "What's wrong?" "Well, I really misunderstood Doctor Bai." Saying this, she sighed guiltily, "I was still too superficial. If I could think about it carefully, I wouldn't have misunderstood him." She was angry indeed at that time, but she felt that she was so ignorant when she thought about it at the moment. According to those things Isaac had done and those words he had said, how could he really do something to betray Adele? Therefore, she felt a little guilty. "Everyone has different views. The misunderstanding has been rectified, hasn't it? Besides, Isaac doesn't know that you misunderstood him." He smiled at her, "So, don't
In Grand Dynasty Hotel. When Elizabeth arrived, it was only nine o'clock. Isaac told her that he had booked a private room and told her the room number, and asked her to go there when she arrived. She understood what he meant. She had said that she had something to give him, so it was better for them to meet in a private room than being in public. They could talk freely in a quiet room and didn't have to hide their emotions. It was still early, so she intended to find a place in the hall to sit first. She wanted to go in when it was almost time. But as soon as she found the seat, she saw Isaac before she sat down. He came in from the gate. Without looking sideways, he took a few quick steps and then stopped. He didn't seem to see her. Elizabeth was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he also came so early. When she was about to say hello to him, a person in a suit walked over and stood in front of him, saying respectfully, "Hi, Mr.
"Auntie Miranda, I have something to tell you." Miranda was anxious. Although she was his elder, she was just a nanny in his house. She felt that she couldn't let Isaac kneel down in front of her, and she also felt a little flustered. "Isaac, just say what you want to say. Why do you kneel down?" As she said this, she stood up and tried to pull him up. Isaac refused to stand up, "Aunt Miranda, sit down and let me finish my words." He had so many reasons to kneel down. At least, he would feel better if he knelt down. "Get up first. How can I let you kneel down in front of me?" "Mom!" Miranda's opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She froze there in a daze. It was a long while before she came back to sense. Her lips trembled as she asked in disbelief, "Isaac, what... did you... call me just now?" Isaac smiled and called her again, "Mom!" Miranda's hands trembled and she suddenly fell back to the sofa. She was so shocked.
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
