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
