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
The school opened the next day. James asked Elizabeth to think that it because he had drunk too much and his mind was not clear, so he was so strange the night before, and he did not answer the question she asked. She knew that he didn't want to say it. Even they were the closet, there was something that was better not to be mentioned. She understood this, so she did not ask him anymore. However, since that night, James really did what he promised her, and he was in a good mood. He stayed at home all day yesterday because his face was swollen. He did not deal with the company's affairs and stayed with her all the time. He had used ice to reduce the swelling and the swelling had gone down, so he insisted on sending her to school. "I'm going in. Go to work." Elizabeth smiled and unbuckled the seat belt, "I can't bring meals for you from now on. Remember to eat on time." James took her bag from the back seat and said, "How can the food outside be
As soon as Elizabeth walked out of the school gate, she saw the familiar Maybach. James was leaning against the car, and he did not see her. At this time, he was lowering his head slightly to light up a cigarette. He was tall and handsome, and there was a cool car behind him, so he naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, he stared at the ground with some dissatisfaction, not looking sideways. There was a little bit of annoyance and unhappiness on his face. Today was the first day of school, so she basically had no class. When she was at school, he sent her several messages to ask her when she would get out of class and which gate she would go to. She didn't think too much and told him. To her surprise, he came to pick her up. Of course, she was happy and pleasantly surprised. Regardless of other people, she trotted towards him. James had just taken a draw on his cigarette when he slightly raised his eyes and saw Elizabeth running towards him. He smiled.
In Lu Mansion. Elizabeth sat in the car and looked in the direction of Lu Mansion. Then she turned to look at James next to her, "Didn't you ask me to cook for you? Why did you come here?" James unbuckled the seat belt and shrugged his shoulders, "Mom said that today is the first day of your new semester, so she asked me to pick you up for dinner." After that, he complained in his heart, "Hum! I lost my ten dishes and one soup!" "Oh." When Elizabeth heard this, she smiled, "Mom is so good to me!" As she said this, she unbuckled the seat belt, "Let's go in." Looking at Elizabeth who opened the car door, got off the car quickly, and walked toward the house, James sighed helplessly. Mom was good to her. Was he not good for her? Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of what he had just planned and smiled proudly, "Humph! You'll say that I'm good to you!" "Hi, Elizabeth." Lydia was sitting by the table and wanted to eat two pieces of meat on the sly. Wh
"We were just talking about you. Xavier, why do you come so late?" Lydia said happily, "If you came earlier, we could have dinner together. How nice it would be." Xavier and Zena sat together. Hearing this, Xavier smiled and said, "We were delayed by something, so we ate outside." After that, he looked at Elizabeth and smiled. Then he looked at James and took the lead in greeting, "Hi, Jimmy." James smiled gently, "Hi, Xavier." Elizabeth said hello to Zena. When she was about to greet Xavier, she thought for a while and still called him "Xavier". John, Lydia, and Zena were all here, so it was not proper to call him "Sebastian". "Will you sleep here tonight, Xavier?" Seeing that James and Elizabeth were determined to leave, Lydia ask Xavier to stay. "No, aunt, I'll leave later." Lydia felt depressed immediately, "You came here so late. I thought..." Xavier smiled and looked at John and Lydia. He said, "Uncle, aunt, we came here today because I
Xavier leaned against the trunk of a tree in the garden and stared at the screen which had been black. His eyes were brooding, and he was lost in thought. James stood at the entrance of the garden and stared at Xavier for a long time before he walked toward him. "Why don't you go in?" "Why are you here?" They spoke at the same time. Both of them smiled upon hearing this. James walked over and stood side by side with Xavier as if there was really no misunderstanding or estrangement between them before. It seemed that they were back to nine years ago. Xavier was James's elder brother and they could play together and share everything. James took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one cigarette to Xavier, and asked, "Do you want it?" Xavier glanced at the cigarette and then looked at James. After a long while, he smiled faintly, "Okay." He reached out and took it. James also smiled faintly, and he felt more relaxed in the
"I feel that you're quite happy today," Elizabeth said as soon as she walked out of the Lu Mansion. "Is that so?" James said and smiled more brightly. Elizabeth nodded, "Yes." "Xavier is about to get married. How can I not be happy?" In fact, what he really wanted to say was that he was no more emotionally crippled, and he was happy because he had made peace with Xavier. Elizabeth smiled after hearing it, "I am also very happy." After that, she sighed, "It's the best result that he can marry the girl he loves and has a family that really belongs to him." "What does a family that really belongs to him mean? What did my parents say just now? If my father doesn't regard him as a member of our family, how could he give him so many shares? He didn't lose his mind." "That's right." Elizabeth nodded with a smile, "Mom and dad are really nice to him." Hearing this, James snorted, "Aren't they good to you?" As he said this, he puckered his mouth with
