It was an hour later when Zena came out of the bathroom. She specially picked very beautiful black pajamas and wore some perfume. Looking at her ruddy face in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction and turned back to the bedroom. After lying in bed and reading for a while, Xavier pushed the door open and came in. When he saw Zena, he was stunned at first, and then said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you would sleep at home? Why did you come here?" "You're back." Zena put the book on the bedside table and said with a smile, "It's rather boring at home, and I miss you, so I came here to give you a surprise. Why do you come back so late today?" "Many people bought my paintings in the gallery, so I was delayed for some time." Xavier said as he looked at his watch, "It's so late. Why didn't you sleep first?" "I'm waiting for you." Xavier smiled more brightly, "Wait for me for a while. I'll take a shower." After a while, listening to the soun
"What?" Lydia exclaimed. She held the phone with one hand, and immediately torn off the mask with the other, "Lawrence really did that?" After getting Elizabeth's affirmative answer, she patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry! He went too far and I will definitely ask him." John was reading the newspaper next to her. Seeing that Lydia frowned and looked very unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong?" "Lawrence went too for! Elizabeth's friend was late. He not only left but also ordered lots of food and wanted the girl to pay the bill! Oh my god! How could he do that? He was obviously bullying that girl!" John raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that he was a reliable man?" Hearing this, Lydia immediately flushed and went berserk, "Oh, are you blaming me now? I just heard from others that he was a reliable man. Besides, his family is rich, so I naturally thought so!" "But... " "Stop!" Lydia reached out to stop John from talking with an unhappy
As soon as the class bell rang, the new teacher walked into the classroom in high-heeled shoes. Looking at the new teacher on the platform, Evelyn turned to Elizabeth and said, "Oh my, I thought that they were just talking about her casually in the dormitory, but... Our new teacher is only in her early twenties, right? She's so young and beautiful! She's a goddess! If I were a man, I would definitely chase after her!" Elizabeth sat there in a daze. Looking at the new teacher on the platform, she only felt surprised. She... actually came to their school to be a teacher? The new teacher put down her textbook and looked around with a smile. Then she looked at Elizabeth who was in a daze and smiled at her before saying, "Hello, everyone. I'm Zena Meng. From this semester on, I'm your design teacher." That was right! The person who stood on the platform surprised Elizabeth, and introduced herself to everyone with a smile was Zena! She wore a light-blue
When Elizabeth returned home, she still felt that what Zena said at noon was a little strange. So when she had dinner, she couldn't help but look at James a few more times. James noticed that she was glancing at him. He smiled and said, "Why do you look at me like that? I know that I'm handsome. Just eat." As soon as he finished his words, he suddenly said in a teasing tone, "Or do you think the food is not to your liking and you want to eat something else?" Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, but she immediately understood what he meant by "something else". Her face blushed and she complained, "Can't you watch your mouth? What if Jane hears this?" However, James raised his eyebrows with a serious face, "What? I'm just asking if you like the food. If you don't like it, I will let Jane cook for you again." Elizabeth was speechless. He winked at her ambiguously and moved closer to her. Then he asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Lu, you are bad now, and your t
James tried hard to hold back the joy in his heart and deliberately sighed to show his regret, "But, in this way, you won't be able to eat the food cooked by me." Ha-ha... Nothing could make him happier than this! He really wanted to laugh out loud for a long time! He had never lost! Elizabeth looked at him speechlessly, and then silently turned her head. James rubbed his nose and wondered if he looked too happy just now. After thinking about it for a while, he thought that he didn't. Therefore, he was relieved and was in a better mood to amuse Elizabeth happy. "Honey, don't be unhappy. I'm so sad to see you frowning like this." Ha-ha, he was so happy. Elizabeth didn't speak. "What's more, if you are angry, I will also feel uncomfortable, and you will age faster." In fact, he chuckled at her discomfiture in heart. Elizabeth bit her lip and lowered her head deeply. "Dear, just talk to me!" He wanted her to say it in person so that he
Elizabeth watched TV leisurely in the living room, but she was listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen carefully. Thinking of James's reaction just now, she was amused. It had been more than two hours. James had been staying in the kitchen and had not come out. Another clanking sound of pots and pans came from the kitchen, which made Jane tremble with worry, "Young madam... should we keep young master doing this?" According to what she had heard, she thought that James must have broken so many bowls. Although Elizabeth also felt sorry for those bowls, she shook her head and said, "Jane, just sit down. Don't worry about it." "But..." Elizabeth just smiled, "It's all right. Take today as your holiday." Jane smiled awkwardly and sat on the seat next to Elizabeth. She was still nervous and didn't know what to do. In fact, she was not worried about those bowls and pots. She had been working in this family for a long time, and she knew James
Elizabeth had no time to get the spare keys. She and Jane smashed the door open together with a tool. The moment she opened the door and entered the kitchen, she was taken aback. Was this... still the luxuriously decorated kitchen? Moreover... The man who was lying on the ground with a black face, messy hair, and greasy clothes was really her handsome and proud husband? But it was not the time to talk about these. Within a second, she came to sense and rushed to James who was lying prostrate. "How are you?" Jane was also panicked, "Young master, are you alright?" James gritted his teeth and could not care about how awkward he was at this time. Enduring the pain, he reached out his hands with difficulty and pointed at the big flame, saying weakly, "Hurry up... Put out the fire..." "Okay!" Jane nodded immediately. She tried to avoid the broken pieces of bowls and plates under her feet and rushed to the range. Then she picked up the lid, r
James had changed into his hospital gown. He lay on the bed with depression and looked so weak. Elizabeth sat in a chair aside and looked at James who didn't want to talk to her at all, feeling disturbed and worried. "James... how do you feel now?" James turned his head arrogantly and ignored her! "Sorry, I didn't know it would be like this..." Elizabeth rubbed her hands, "It's all my fault." James thought, "It's nice that you know it!" Seeing that he still didn't speak, Elizabeth sighed helplessly, "Don't be angry. How are your injuries?" Hearing that she kept asking him, James, who originally wanted to be indifferent all the time, felt guilty. He coughed softly, sighed, and said sadly, "It hurts!" He felt so painful. There was a swelling on his head and his back was covered with gauze. Moreover, his butt... He was really annoyed! "I'm sorry. Don't be mad." "Humph!" James didn't look at her, but snorted with a cold face, "
