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
However, James did not bring her to the open space he had pointed at just now. The car kept driving up and finally stopped at the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was somewhat spacious and flat. The ground was covered with soft weeds. Elizabeth thought that the top of the mountain would be pitch-black. But at this moment, there were a few small lamps that looked like solar panels. Just like what she had seen at the mountainside, there was also a small bonfire here. Beside the bonfire, there was a two-person tent that had been set up. In the dark night, the light was gleaming and was not very bright. But... Elizabeth could see everything clearly. Because the stars were shining bright in the sky. James walked to her side, opened the car door, and said with a smile, "Come down, honey." Elizabeth sat in the seat in a daze. She was still confused about what she had seen. No, she was not confused, but pleasantly surprised.
What did she think? Lying on the air bed in the tent, Elizabeth was still thinking about the question he asked just now. Why did he ask her such a question? Why did he kiss her before she could answer him? Why did he bring her to the tent? This tent must be very expensive, and there was even a luminous light on the top of it..." No! What problems was she thinking about? What did it have to do with the luminous light? Sure enough, her head got dizzy because of his kiss... This was a very serious question! "Stay focused!" James slightly opened his eyes and looked at Elizabeth who was absent-minded, feeling a bit unhappy! He was doing something very serious! How could she think about something else? Couldn't she be a bit more focused? Elizabeth frowned and turned her head slightly, "I... want to see the meteors!" "The meteor is not as good-looking as I am!" He clenches his teeth and said with annoyance. "I can't see them anymore after a wh
Elizabeth soon returned home. She rushed upstairs without having breakfast and even locked the door. She sat in front of the dressing table. On the table, there was a glass of warm water she had just fetched. She stared at the small medicine box in her hand, which she had just bought secretly. The medicine box was still slightly warm and wet with her sweat. She gently rubbed the words on it with her slender and white fingers, feeling a little hesitant. On the second day after honeymooning and having sex with James, she secretly bought contraceptive pills as well. For the sake of her health, she even bought a bottle of long-acting contraceptive pills. At that time, she took the pills without hesitation. It was not because she didn't like children. She just felt that it wasn't the right time for her to get pregnant. She needed to go to university, have an internship, or even a formal job. In any case, it wasn't very suitable for her to have a child. Afte
"Miss Wu, do you have something to say to me?" Sitting on the sofa, James looked at Evelyn who was somewhat embarrassed, and asked blandly. "Well..." Evelyn scratched her hair, and then took out a card from her bag and put it gently on the tea table. She pushed it towards James and said, "This is the card you gave me a few days ago. I came here today to give it back to you." James glanced at the card and then looked at Evelyn blandly. Evelyn pursed her lips and said, "You gave me this card because Elizabeth was in a bad mood. Since Elizabeth has become cheerful again, I can't take it anymore." After knowing that Elizabeth was really in a good mood yesterday, she decided to do this. Hearing this, James nodded lightly and did not refuse her. That was his card. He was not stingy. If Evelyn had any needs, he could promise to help her as long as he could, because she had helped him. But he had his own principles. His card could only be used by his wife. Altho
Evelyn took the staff elevator to the basement. People went in and out of the elevator from time to time. When she arrived at the basement, another few minutes had passed by again. "Alas! A big company is really different! I couldn't even park my electrical bicycle outside the building! I'm so speechless!" As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she complained in a low voice. When she came here, she rode her electrical bicycle for convenience. She bought this electrical bicycle with her private money to do her part-time job more easily. However, the security guard of Lu Enterprises did not let her park it outside of the building. He only said that it would affect the image of Lu Enterprises and asked her to park it in the basement. How could her cute and small electrical bicycle affect the image of the company? Bah! She looked at her watch again and ran faster anxiously. However, she didn't know that there was a figure, who just came out of the special
"I'm very sure." The assistant was very calm, "It's your fault." What nonsense! Evelyn was very excited, "I said that it is still unknown who should be responsible for this accident! How can you say this is my fault? Are you a traffic policeman? Oh, don't think that you can frame me just because you have a good car." Evelyn wanted to be angrier than him to threaten him! The assistant raised his eyebrows and coughed lightly, "Since you said that I have a good car, do you think that I would hit you casually? Don't take what I'm going to say seriously. To be honest, even ten of your electric bicycles can't pay for my repairs. So, do you think that I have to frame you?" How could he ask her not to take his words seriously? He was completely looking down upon her! "What you said makes sense, but..." Evelyn frowned with a helpless and unhappy face, "Are you always right just because you have a good car? Just like what I said just now, I think it was you who hit
