Elizabeth had lain on the bed for nearly half an hour, but she couldn't fall asleep. She looked out of the window with her back to James, and felt a bit disappointment in heart. She did not expect James to prepare any gift for her, but... after all, it was her first birthday after they got married. If he said "Happy Birthday" to her, she would be very satisfied. James was leaning against the bed and watching the news with his mobile phone, but he glanced at Elizabeth from time to time. He knew that she might feel a bit depressed in heart, but... it would be twelve o'clock soon. "Honey, why don't you sleep?" Looking at her head, he smiled and asked in a soft voice. Elizabeth pursed her lips and sighed lightly. Then she turned around to look at him, blinked her eyes and whispered, "James..." "Hmm?" "You don't have to work overtime tomorrow, do you?" James glanced at the time on the screen before he raised his eyebrows and pretend to b
Elizabeth thought for a while, but shook her head, "I can't figure it out." "If you can't figure it out, forget it." Elizabeth didn't want to give up. She was happy in heart, but she was bursting with curiosity, "Tell me, I'm really curious." After that, she looked at him pitifully, "If you don't tell me, I won't be able to fall asleep at night. You don't want me to lose sleep, do you? You're very handsome, very perfect and very amazing, so I must be beautiful. Otherwise, I'll be so ugly if I have two dark eye circles!" Ahem... In order to satisfy her own curiosity, she really said a lot to flatter him. Alright, even though she was speaking the truth. James was overjoyed in heart. It was very difficult to ask her to praise him at ordinary times. That day... well, it never happened. However, the feeling of being praised by Elizabeth was really not bad. But... at this time, James, who had been flattered, suddenly wanted to play a prank on her.
Elizabeth blinked her eyes and asked, "What is it?" "Marriage certificate." "Marriage certificate?" She thought for a moment. There was her date of birth on the marriage certificate... Did he take it out to have a look from time to time? James nodded, "I knew your birthday on the day we got the certificate. So..." He smiled dotingly at her, "I've always remembered it." Elizabeth's eyes widened, "You've always remembered it?" His memory was too good, wasn't it? Just now, she thought that he knew her birthday when he took out the marriage certificate and had a look, but... She would be very touched if he took it out and had a look from time to time. However, when he said that, she was more touched and joyful, because he had always taken her to heart and cared about her. He even remembered her birthday. "Yes." James nodded, "I have always remembered it since I saw it that day." As a matter of fact, he also found it hard to believe.
James glanced at the picture on the phone and said, "Well, not bad." In fact... he felt that it was pretty good. "It's obviously very good." Elizabeth snorted. "However, are you sure you only want this?" James glanced at the photo. "Just a photo?" It was too easy to make her happy and satisfied, wasn't it? However, he felt warm in his heart because she was so simple. In this era, more and more people became vain creatures. He was powerful, so he had naturally seen so many people like this. Therefore, he felt that she was a rare and precious treasure which only belonged to him. "Right." James smiled, and his eyes became tenderer and tenderer, "What are you going to do with this photo? If you want to see me, you can see me every day, can't you?" Elizabeth shook her head, "That's different. Besides, I have never taken a picture with you before." He raised his eyebrows, "Why not?" "When did we take a picture together?" "When we g
A loud noise came from outside. The window was closed, so Elizabeth was startled, "What happened?" After she said that, there was another loud noise. With a whoosh, a brilliant firework shot into the sky. "It's a firework!" Elizabeth said with joy, "Who's letting off fireworks so late at night?" James looked out of the window and then understood. He did not answer, but just said, "Why don't we go to have a look?" "Okay!" Therefore, the two of them went to the balcony. In the open space downstairs, John was standing next to a bunch of fireworks which were neatly arranged and were of different packages and colors. At this time, seeing them come out, he even reached out and waved at them with a smile, which was completely different from his usual style. Elizabeth was stunned for a moment and looked at John downstairs. Then she looked up at the dazzling fireworks and immediately understood. They let off fireworks to celebrate her birthd
"Let me do it." After saying that, James took out his lighter. When he was about to ignite it, Lydia said, "The fireworks which your dad let off just now were single ones, but these are combinations. The last one was specially customized according to my request. It's called 'Sparks Fly'. The sales told me that these fireworks would be so beautiful when they're lit, and they have a very lucky meaning. So, the last one should be lit by Elizabeth personally. You have to keep it for her." James nodded, "Got it." He bent over and ignited the fireworks. After a few seconds, a loud bang sounded. Then a beam of white light darted out at an extremely fast speed. When it reached a certain height, a huge white flower bloomed in the sky. "Bang..." "Whoosh..." A series of loud noises rang in their ears one after another, and lots of fireworks burst simultaneously in midair. Red, white, blue and purple... The sky was full of brightly coloured fireworks
The night sky, which had been dark, suddenly brightened up again. The firework was very artful. It did not burst immediately but exploded when it reached a certain height in the sky. Of course, its height was a bit lower than the other fireworks. Clusters of white light bloomed around at an extremely fast speed, forming a flower-shaped firework. "Wow! It's so beautiful!" Lydia looked at the sky and sighed, "The salesman didn't lie to me." After that, she looked back at Elizabeth, "What do you think? Is it amazing?" Elizabeth was looking at those bright fireworks earnestly. Hearing this, she immediately turned around and said to Lydia with a smile, "Yes, it's the best firework I've ever seen." Yeah, it was really stunning. Those fireworks which were ignited just now were specially customized, and the last firework should be the most ordinary one, but it was the most beautiful one. Fireworks shot into the night sky, sending out colourful sparks,
James entered the house, opened the cupboard door, and took out the fire extinguisher. Then he hurriedly walked upstairs. Auntie Chang was preparing bird's nest soup in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, she ran out in a few steps, but she didn't see anyone. When she was about to go back, she saw John walking in with a serious face. His imposing manner and expression reminded her of the solemn killer in a costume drama. "Master, what's... wrong?" John was depressed. At this time, he did not speak but just walked quickly to the cupboard. The door was not closed, and he didn't see any fire extinguisher in it. He was originally in a bad mood, and his face darkened completely at this time. "Where's the fire extinguisher?" Auntie Chang was stunned, "Is it on fire?" As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at John and did not dare to speak anymore. Nervously, she hurried to the kitchen to get a fire extinguisher. John took it and went upstairs with a gl
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
