"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
"Huh? What's the matter, mom?" "Well..." Lydia smiled, "I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't expect it to be like this. You're frightened, right? Oh! It's all my fault." Hearing this, Elizabeth's guilty heart suddenly became even sadder. "Mom, how can I blame you? It is not your fault, and I am not frightened. Don't say that." It was Lydia's good intention, and she was so moved. How could she blame her? Moreover, although such an accident had happened, she still appreciated Lydia very much. James felt a little guilty when he saw Lydia's frowning face. He felt that he shouldn't have said that just now. He coughed lightly and then said, "Well, mom, I was just joking with you. Don't blame yourself." Lydia did not feel any better when she heard that. Instead, she felt even more aggrieved. She walked to hold John's hand and shook it with a grievance, "John, woo-woo..." She felt so wronged! John threw the fire extinguisher on the black sofa casually.
James was a bit depressed. If it was someone else, he would definitely talk back. If Lydia didn't prepare the fireworks, no accident would happen. How could he know that the fireworks would come to his room? How could he know that the cake would be destroyed? His room had become messy, but he didn't even complain! He didn't know where he and Elizabeth should sleep at night. Why should he be blamed for everything? Although Lydia was his mother, he was really a little unhappy to be repeatedly criticized in this way! He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to express his dissatisfaction, but before he could say a word, John took the initiative to cough and then gave him a warning look. Humph! He had a bad temper! However, no matter how bad-tempered he was, what could he do? He could only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart! Besides, whose fault it was? Alas! Yes, it was his fault. Lydia did all these for
Zena pushed the door open drunkenly and threw the bag on the ground. Then she fell heavily on the sofa and didn't want to move anymore. Xavier opened the door of the bedroom and saw Zena lying not far away. He frowned slightly and asked, "Zena, where did you go?" Zena raised her head, gave Xavier a meaningful look, and then lay down again and closed her eyes. "I called you. Why didn't you answer my phone calls?" Zena maintained the posture and did not open her eyes. She said blandly, "I didn't hear that." Xavier took a deep breath and walked to her. He stood next to the sofa and looked down at her, "Didn't you even look at your phone? Why didn't you call me back? Do you know how worried I am?" He came back at eight o'clock in the evening and did not see her. He thought that she had gone home. He called her, but she did not answer the phone. Later, he sent a lot of messages to her but she didn't reply. Later, it was getting late, and he was sti
Looking at Xavier in front of her, Zena was very surprised in the whole progress. Xavier's performance was far beyond her expectations. Just now, after he got furious, he pulled her into the bedroom. Moreover, he didn't take any medicine from the beginning to the end. She was also sure that he hadn't drunk a drop of wine that night. Was Xavier still the man she knew? Had he... really got better? In this case, did it mean that the life and future she was looking forward to were no longer her own delusions? Fortunately, she chose to come back impulsively that day. Otherwise, how could she know that Xavier had got better? Thinking like this, she was pleasantly surprised. She even felt a sense of happiness which she had not experienced for a long time. She really felt too happy. At this moment, the only thing she wanted to do was to immerse herself in it and enjoy the shock and joy he gave her. "Xavier..." She whispered in a trembling voice,
In Lu Mansion. After trying for a long time, James only felt that his body which could be compared to that of a robot, was a bit exhausted. No, he was not tired, but just felt very depressed and helpless. That was because... after Lydia ran out in great anger, Elizabeth felt guilty and proposed to comfort Lydia. Originally, James didn't want to do it. After all, John could coax Lydia. However, when he saw Elizabeth's earnest eyes, his heart softened. As for John, he had chased after Lydia after she ran out. He was afraid of Lydia and worried about her so much, which made James very speechless. As a result, he had no choice but to be dragged to the door of the bedroom of Lydia and John by Elizabeth. However, Lydia had closed the door and locked it from inside. John stood outside the door and looked at the two of them. Although he smiled at them decently, James knew that he was pretending to be calm and he was actually a little awkward.
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
