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
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
