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
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
