"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.
"Huh?" Miranda was a little surprised, "Where... is it?" "Australia." "Australia? Why are we going there?" Miranda had worked in the Bais for many years, and she lived in a house she rented. She had no house in A city, but she had one in her hometown. However, she didn't understand why Isaac suddenly asked her to go aboard. "The air there is very fresh and that is a place suitable for living. I've discussed with... Adele about this. She also agreed." "Isaac." Miranda thought for a moment and said, "I've lived at home for so long. I am not very cultured and I don't even know how to speak English. If I go there..." She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I won't go there. It's so far away. What if I want to see you?" "Don't worry. The house is in a chunk of ethnic Chinese ghetto. Your life won't be inconvenient. I'll arrange for some people to take care of you. When we finish all the things here, we'll go there, too." Of course, he knew that Aus
"Yes, I'm engaged." Isaac smiled bitterly and nodded. She knew what he had tried his best to hide. Miranda staggered and took two steps back before she could stand firm. She shook her head and said, "Isaac, how can you do this?" She felt so painful in heart, as if her heart had been pinched by someone, "My family is not as rich and powerful as yours, but you can't bully us like this, can you? I don't think I have done anything terrible to your family, and I have never done anything to hurt you. Adele loves you with all her heart. How can you do this?" As she spoke, tears ran down her face, "How sad Adele will be when she knows this!" She really liked Isaac. Although she had persuaded Adele when she knew that Adele loved him, but from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that he could be with Adele. However, no matter how she liked him and wanted him to be her son-in-law, she couldn't accept the fact that he had got engaged. He had more than one romantic rela
After Miranda left, Isaac looked at the room which suddenly became quite cold. He frowned, but his heart was blazing with the flames of fury. Anger was growing, bubbling up inside him. He turned on the phone and called Maxwell. This time, Maxwell hung up the phone, as if he was taking revenge on him on purpose. Isaac narrowed his eyes and called him again. The result was the same. Maxwell hung up as soon as the bell rang. Hearing the sarcastic "beep" sound on the phone, Isaac smiled weakly and painfully. He gradually laughed out loud, and his laughter became louder and louder. After a short while, his bitter and helpless laughter echoed in the slightly spacious room. After a long time, he suddenly stopped laughing. His eyes were full of malice and viciousness. He raised his hand and threw away the cell phone fiercely. Crack! The phone fell to the ground and bounced, breaking into a lot of pieces. Without even looking at the phone, Issac lifte
Isaac looked at Maxwell and chuckled, "Do you regret it?" Hearing this, Maxwell just shook his head, "No, what do I regret? Although I spent a lot of money to cultivate you, you're somewhat useful to me, aren't you?" "Yes, I know." Isaac nodded, "I'm the tool for you to consolidate your power and status." He felt a chill in his heart. Maxwell said that he should have strangled him to death just now and he really wanted to laugh. He hoped that Maxwell could strangle him to death when he was born. In that case, he wouldn't live such a tired and painful life. "It's good that you know it! I like smart people who do the decent thing!" Hearing this, Isaac laughed again, "Aren't you afraid that I'll commit suicide if you really push me too hard?" "Dare you do that?" Maxwell looked at him scornfully, and his eyes immediately became fierce, "If you dare die, or have the same idea, that b*tch will be killed!" "Say it again!" Isaac's eyes were bloodshot,
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, and then picked up the bag she had put on the sofa. She handed it to him, "This... I think it's better to give it to you." Isaac looked at the bag, and then looked at her suspiciously. There were only a few things in the bag. "What's this?" Elizabeth thought for a moment and said, "This is... something Adele left at my home. She...didn't take it at that time..." Before she could finish her words, Issac took the bag in her hand quickly. His speed was so fast that even she was a little surprised. He snatched up the bag in the blink of an eye. Isaac took out the things in the bag quickly. When he saw the things in his hand clearly, his expression immediately changed. He slightly lowered his head, and she couldn't see his expression, but she knew that he must be excited and sad at the moment because his hand which held the thing was trembling so hard that he almost couldn't hold it firmly. Looking at Isaac like this, Elizabeth
Finally, Elizabeth did not let Isaac send her. Isaac looked at his watch, and he didn't insist. He found Benjamin to ask a driver to send Elizabeth there. Before getting in the car, Elizabeth was afraid that James would be busy, so she sent him a message, saying that there was no need for him to send someone to send her to the temple, and she told him about Isaac's arrangement. James seemed to be really busy, and he only replied with one word "Okay." When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Elizabeth thanked the driver who sent her and then went up the mountain. The temple in the north of the city was on the mountain, but the car could only drive to the foot of the mountain because the twisting mountain road was not made of cement or stone, but ordinary mud. She had come here once before, so she specially wore a pair of light sneakers. It made her not particularly tired to climb up the mountain. The scenery along the way was quite good. T
Elizabeth knew that it was very immoral and impolite to eavesdrop, but she still did it. The antique wooden window of the house was pasted with paper. The paper happened to be broken. She stood there and looked inside. When she saw the person in the house, she immediately widened her eyes in surprise. The monk in monk robes who looked to be in his fifties was sitting in front of the table. He did not raise his head and he was staring at the scripture on the table, running the beads through the fingers of one hand. The man who dressed in white casual clothes and standing in front of the monk was actually Xavier! But... why was he here? Why did he say that he came to see... the monk? At this moment, the monk put his palms together and said, "Amita Buddha! I'm just a monk. Thank you for your sincerity." Hearing this, Xavier frowned slightly and smiled helplessly, "For my sincerity?" The monk didn't speak. Xavier shook his head with a smile
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
