In the quiet cafe, sweet music was being played on the piano, which made the atmosphere somewhat romantic. In the seat at the corner, Zena stared at the coffee in front of her for a long time, but she didn't intend to drink it. "You saw the waiter serve it, so just drink it without worries." Zena raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, smiling faintly, "Are you kidding me? I'm sorry, but I don't think it's funny." The woman sitting opposite Zena wore smoky make-up. She dressed very sexily, and she was well-shaped. Although she wore heavy makeup, it could be seen that she was not bad-looking. This woman was Josephine, who hadn't appeared in front of the public for a long time. Hearing Zena's words, Josephine didn't get angry. Instead, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "After all, we're not familiar with each other. I think it's good to say a joke to keep a closer relationship between us." Zena said, "Since you know we're n
Zena stopped. She turned to look at Josephine and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?" Josephine spread her hands and said, "It means that I was just joking. I'm not interested in James at all, so you can rest assured." Hearing that, Zena sneered, "Sorry, even if you were really just kidding, I'm not interested in talking to you anymore." She thought that she was really crazy, so she wasted time here accompanying such an insane woman. She lifted her foot and wanted to leave, but Josephine suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist tightly, "Wait a minute!" Zena was unhappy and shook off Josephine's hand, "Miss Liang, don't pester me, or I'll look down on you." Upon hearing Zena's words, Josephine suddenly felt pain in her heart. It was not because she was sensitive, but Zena's words reminded her that Theodore had said the same words to her before. It had been a long time, but she didn't expect that she could still remember what he had said to her cl
Originally, Elizabeth thought that James would take her somewhere else. After all, when he said that he had a surprise for her in the past, he always took her to eat outside or gave her a gift. But he directly took her back to Lu Mansion that day. Of course, she did not feel disappointed. Anyway, she liked here very much. "Elizabeth, come on, eat more. Jimmy told me that you've been very busy recently. You have to go to Liang Company to work during the day and go back to school sometimes. What's more, you work overtime every night. Are you busy designing the dresses of Zena and Xavier?" Lydia picked up some food for Elizabeth and said with distress, "You've really become thinner these days." Looking at the dishes that were almost piled up like a hill in the bowl and listening to Lydia's words, Elizabeth felt a little hot in her face. Lydia said those words to care about her, but she felt a bit uneasy... Recently, she went to work every day indeed, b
After James left the dining table, Lydia knitted her eyebrows and took a swallow of rice in the bowl, but she had no more appetite. John carefully picked out the fish bones from a piece of fish meat and put the meat into her bowl, saying in a gentle voice, "Don't care about him. Honey, eat this." Hearing this, Lydia glared at John and blamed him, "It's all your fault. Why did you ask me not to sit here?" John raised his eyebrows and was amused, "Is this my fault?" "Of course!" Lydia snorted angrily, "Didn't you see how awkward Elizabeth was after you said that?" Humph! She was a straightforward person and would always say whatever she thought in her heart. For the sake of Elizabeth, she didn't say it, but John mentioned it. Elizabeth was embarrassed, and Jimmy said that he didn't want to sleep here anymore. "No." Actually... he did see it, but James and Elizabeth kicked his wife! "You!" Lydia put down the chopsticks angrily, "I don't want to t
Sitting on the swing in the small garden and looking at the flowers and plants, Elizabeth felt much better. The moon was very bright that night. Although the stars were sparse in the sky, they were twinkling and looked so beautiful. It was autumn, and the night breeze was a little cold. She played on the swing, looked down at the album on her mobile phone, and then smiled faintly. Tomorrow was her birthday. In the past, she spent her birthdays very normally. At that time, although she didn't know what Theodore was thinking and whether he regarded her as his fiancee or not, he would give her an exquisite cake every year on her birthday, or take her out to play for a day. Her aunt didn't like her very much, so after the first few years, she wouldn't celebrate her birthday for her, not to mention Josephine. However, her uncle would give her a sum of money on her birthday and asked her to buy something she liked. As for Evelyn, she always talked a
Elizabeth was pulled all the way into the living room by James. In fact, she was not very willing to do so. He even asked her how she felt! Of course, she didn't feel good! In front of her father-in-law and her mother-in-law, she and James not only roughed and tumbled but were also found by them. How embarrassing it was! Fortunately, Lydia did not ask Elizabeth to watch her favorite TV shows with her as usual or discuss the popular artists and clothes with her. Lydia just asked her to go upstairs to rest early because she had been too tired recently. Elizabeth naturally had no objection. She only answered, "Okay." Then she hurried upstairs and went to James's room very quickly as if there was a beast chasing after her. Lydia watched her leave in a daze. She didn't stare at James with a pair of eyes full of surprise until Elizabeth went upstairs, "Elizabeth... Wow, she ran so fast! Was she the sprint champion before?" James was amused, "It depends.
Standing at the bedroom door, Lydia suddenly became a little timid. She raised her hands a few times but didn't have the courage to open the door. This kind of feeling reminded her of the days when they were dating in their youth. However, whenever she thought about those days, she felt a little annoyed. Since they met each other, he had always humoured and tolerated her. Even if she had gone too far sometimes, he would apologize to her and coax her every time! Although he was cold to others, he was obedient to her. She just blamed him that day. If he got angry just because of this... she really looked down on him! Although she thought so, the nervousness in her heart didn't fade away. However, she had to enter the room. Both James and Elizabeth lived in the house. If she had a quarrel with John, how embarrassing would it be if Elizabeth knew it? Moreover, she would give Elizabeth a surprise later, so they should gather together happily. Alas!
It was almost 10 o'clock at night. James was sitting alone in the living room and watching TV. Before the game was finished, he suddenly felt bored. When he was about to get up and go upstairs, his phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, he answered the phone unhurriedly, "Say it." Samuel said respectfully on the phone, "Mr. Lu, everything is ready. Shall I ask someone to get it done at one blow?" James raised his eyebrows with displeasure, "What did I tell you before? Just put it there. I'll do the rest of things." "Well, okay. Then..." Before Samuel could finish his words, James pouted and hung up the phone. Samuel, who was outside of the South Lake, felt so speechless in the wind. At least, James should hang up the phone after he finished speaking! He was so... heartless! James held the phone and smiled faintly. Thinking about the romantic scene, he was in a very wonderful mood. Well, he would settle the rest of thing
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
