James stood by the helicopter, standing in the rain with a big black umbrella in his hand. His face was covered by the umbrella, so Xavier couldn't see the expression on his face at this time. The wind was big, and the big blades of the helicopter churned the air, which blew the black umbrella in his hand so hard, but he held it firmly. He stood still for a while before he lifted his foot and walked in the direction of Xavier and Elizabeth. It was raining hard. He walked step by step quickly, but his footsteps were steady. Elizabeth stuck her head out. At first, she narrowed her eyes slightly because the light was too dazzling. When she saw the helicopter in the open space outside the wooden house, she was stunned for a moment. Then she saw James who was walking step by step in the rain. She was shocked for a moment, and then smiled with joy. It was him! "It's James!" Elizabeth shouted excitedly and stepped out from behind Xavier, "James came here to pic
"What to do?" Xavier murmured. He seemed to be asking James, as well as himself. James smiled bitterly and said, "I know that you blame me, even if you..." He closed his eyes and put down his hand dejectedly, "In the final analysis, I owe you." After that incident, Xavier completely changed. He seemed to be crazy, but also was so depressive. He was in great pain. When he went abroad, he didn't talk about that thing to James's parents. He only said to them that he wanted to go abroad for further study. James was ridiculously wrong. He owed Xavier. Since he had done something wrong, it was impossible for him to turn back, because he couldn't change the fact that he had hurt Xavier, even if he regretted it and had apologized to Xavier. Over the years, he was shocked and couldn't believe it at first, and then he became regretful and blamed himself, and then he even tried to forget that incident. On the first year it happened, his pain was no less than Xa
In the narrow space of the helicopter, the atmosphere was a bit weirdly quiet. Elizabeth wanted to say something. But looking at James's gloomy face, she didn't dare say anything. Xavier sat there with his eyes lowered and there was a faint smile on his face. James held Elizabeth with one hand and stared at the space in front of him with his thin lips tightly pursed. Originally, he planned to borrow a few more helicopters from Benjamin, so that they could separate and find Elizabeth as soon as possible However, he was told that the weather was too bad and they didn't dare take risks. But for the sake of friendship, they still lend him a helicopter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to sit in the same helicopter with Xavier even though he was very angry. The speed of the helicopter was fast. It only took them a few minutes to go down the mountain, but James felt as if a few decades had passed. When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, James and El
"Yeah." James frowned hard, and his breathing suddenly became rapider. He clenched his hands into fists unconsciously and said with his lips trembling slightly, "What... did he say?" Elizabeth glanced at him and said, "His feelings in the past few years." As she said this, she sighed, "I didn't expect a person like him to have such a childhood, and he actually... wanted to commit suicide." James was shocked and stared at her, "Did he... tell you the reason?" Elizabeth shook her head, "No." Hearing this, James let out a big sigh of relief. "Do you know why?" The expression in James's eyes changed and he replied unnaturally, "I don't know much about it." Elizabeth didn't think too much and said, "Oh—" "Honey..." He grabbed her hand and moved his eyes from her hand to her face. "What's wrong?" Elizabeth looked at him, "Why do you grab me? Let go of me and take off your clothes." She had just finished unbuttoning his shirt.
Looking at James like that, Elizabeth only felt that he was so confused and helpless. She couldn't see his expression at this time because of his posture, but she could clearly feel his sadness and pain. He was just like a person struggling in the swamp and trying to get a chance to live. He was desperate, but also longing to be saved. She felt bitter and painful in her heart as if her heart was being gripped tightly by something. "No." She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said softly with a smile, "You are very good. There is no one better than you in this world." If it weren't for him, she didn't know what kind of a life she would be living. If she didn't meet him, she might have already lost her ability to love because of so much disappointment in life. Hearing this, James's hand on his face trembled slightly, and then he smiled, "Really? If I was really as good as you said, I wouldn't... have treated you like that just now." He would
The rain outside the window was getting smaller and smaller. James turned his head to look at the sleeping Elizabeth without blinking. His eyes were affectionate and complicated. Those words she said just now echoed in his mind again and again. He felt bitter and touched. Besides, he was very glad that although he was disgusting and mean, he had Elizabeth who was simple and innocent but could warm his heart. It was not until his eyes became a little sore that he closed them hard and relaxed a little. He got closer to her and gave her a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead. He silently smiled at her who was sleeping soundly, and then turned over lightly and got out of bed. He put on his clothes quickly and walked to the door. Before he closed the door, he looked back at her affectionately. He wanted to finish something in his heart. Otherwise, he would be in great pain and she would not be at ease because of his changeable mood. ...... The lights
James did not reply to him. He only smiled sorrowfully and said, "If I agree to your request, I hope... we can write off all our old scores." Afterward, they would live their own lives and did not mention those things again. Xavier did not speak. After glancing at James, he looked down. "Do you agree or not?" Hearing this, Xavier raised his head and stared at him. He did not say yes or no. After a long while, he whispered, "Is there any more cigarettes?" James frowned, took out a cigarette and a lighter, and handed them to him. In fact, Xavier seldom smoked, and he had not yet recovered from his illness. Therefore, he was choked and coughed violently as soon as he took a draw. However, he did not throw it away. Even though he was choked and felt hot in his throat, and he even coughed from time to time, he forced himself to finish smoking the cigarette. James stood aside and watched him, not saying anything to stop him. Although his heart was uneasy
After what happened last night, Xavier had the best sleep ever. When he woke up, he felt much better, but he was not in a hurry to get up. He lay on the bed, turned his head to look at the sky out of the window, and smiled. Then he turned to look at Zena who was fiddling with flowers with her back to him, and his eyes were much gentler. "Oh, are you awake?" Zena finished arranging the flowers and turned around, but she didn't expect that Xavier had woken up. She was stunned at first, and then asked apologetically, "Did I wake you up?" Xavier shook his head gently and said with a smiling face, "No." The rustle was very light. Zena walked over. Her long white dress bounced as she walked, looking light and graceful, "Are you hungry? I cooked porridge for you." She received the phone call from James in the small hours and knew that Xavier was ill. Fortunately, the hotel room was home-style and had everything. She made porridge for him in a hurry before coming
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
