"Xavier!" As soon as Xavier opened the car door, he heard Elizabeth's voice. He turned around and smiled her way, "Elizabeth? So you're here today!" Elizabeth gave an awkward smile, "Yeah, I was upstairs just now, so I didn't know that you're here." "It's not a big deal." Elizabeth took two more steps forward. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Well... are you really not going to get married to Zena?" Although she had heard from Zena that they had broken up, she still wanted to ask Xavier. "Did you hear that?" Xavier smiled, then nodded, "Yeah, we won't get married." "Why? It's not because you can't give her the life she wants, right?" After all, Xavier was a popular painter and could earn a lot of money. Moreover, he had so many shares of Lu Enterprises. It was definitely not because of some financial issue. "That's the real reason." Elizabeth was shocked by his answer, "Did... she... see you help me in the hospital? So, yo
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, "What? No, I didn't mean that. I mean that you've been busy for a whole day, so you need... Forget it. You can do whatever you want." James nodded with a smile, "Alright." Elizabeth wanted to break away from his hand, but she suddenly stopped, "By the way, Xavier came here today. Do you know that?" James looked down, "Yeah, I know. Mom told me." Recalling what Xavier had said, Elizabeth felt regret about him, "Is there... something wrong with Xavier's... Well, can't he be cured?" James' eyes widened, "You've... knew it?" Elizabeth nodded, "He didn't say it clearly, but I think... I can understand what he meant. Otherwise, why did he say that he couldn't give Zena the life she wanted?" For a moment James didn't say anything, and then his lips parted, "He... Uh, did Xavier say anything else?" Elizabeth was confused by his words, "Why do you suddenly become nervous?" James coughed lightly, "No, I'm n
"Huh?" Elizabeth was a little stunned and looked at James with her eyes full of puzzlement. James blinked his eyes, "Just give me your hand." After that, he raised his chin at her left hand, "Left hand." Elizabeth looked at him suspiciously, and then slowly reached out her left hand to him, "What do you want to do?" James did not answer. He gently grabbed her hand and reached out to his trouser pocket with the other hand. Two seconds later, he took out a small, glittering, and pink object from his pocket and looked at Elizabeth with a tender smile. Elizabeth immediately widened her eyes. She almost couldn't believe what she had seen. The ring... was the thing which was very important to her and she wanted to go back to get secretly. Why was it in James's hand? Moreover, she thought that he would never want it again. "You..." She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say. James said with a smile, "Yeah, the important thing you mention
The early autumn night was a bit cold. However, in a room in Lu Mansion, the atmosphere was hot and sticky. After arguing and misunderstanding each other for a few days, Elizabeth and James, these two lovers on bed, almost wanted to reach the depth of each other's souls. James's actions were a little crude, as if he wanted to make up for the fact that he didn't have sex with her for a few days. He used all his strength and changed the postures constantly. Elizabeth only felt that she couldn't bear it, but all she could do was to accept all the enthusiasm that he had given her... Not knowing how much time had passed, Elizabeth felt so exhausted that she was about to sleep. It was not until then that James finally finished. James was not in a hurry to take a bath. Instead, he embraced Elizabeth under the quilt and asked, "Sweetheart, how do you feel?" His voice was still a little hoarse, and his breathing was not very steady. Elizabeth was so tir
Josephine was wearing a pair of super big sunglasses. She leaned against a tree with a lady's cigarette in her hand and looked straight ahead. That place... She sighed and felt extremely helpless and painful in heart. She inquired many times and finally knew this place. She knew that James was looking for her and she couldn't come out rashly, but... she couldn't control herself. So, she came here. After smoking a cigarette, she threw the cigarette butt on the ground casually and then walked toward the somewhat shabby little house. ...... "Why are you here?" Theodore stood under the tree in the yard and looked at Josephine blandly. There was no joy on his face, and he looked a little impatient. "I'm here to see you." Josephine took off her sunglasses and smiled gently, "I had been inquiring for a long time before I knew that you guys are living here... Is what auntie said true? The injuries on your face are really caused by James?" As soon
After walking for a long time, Josephine seemed to have lost all her strength. Only she herself knew how heartbroken she was. In the future, she knew she had to wander from place to place with another man. As long as she thought she could no longer be with Theodore, and she couldn't even see him again, she felt a stab of pain in heart. Why did she always live a hard life? Suddenly, someone pulled her arm heavily, and she almost fell down. "Ah!" She screamed, but she could not help but be happy in heart. Was it Theodore? "Theo..." She turned around quickly in surprise, but her face changed as she bit back the words she would like to have said when she saw the man. It was not him. "What?" Robert said fiercely, "Theodore?" Josephine shook her head subconsciously, "No." "No?" Robert snorted, "Do you think I don't know about your past?" Josephine bit her lip tightly and suddenly felt a little scared in heart. Although s
When Elizabeth woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning on the next day. "Oh, my god!" She slapped her forehead with depression, "Am I a pig?" Uh...she really slept for a long time! She didn't even know when James left and slept soundly until this time. When she was asleep, James was afraid of disturbing her, so he only sent a few messages to ask her if she had felt better and let her reply to him after she woke up. She put her hand on her belly for a few seconds. After confirming that her belly did not hurt anymore, she sent a message to James quickly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Then she rushed to the bathroom to wash up and went downstairs. "Elizabeth, are you awake?" Lydia was standing in front of two clothing shelves and picking up clothes. As soon as she saw Elizabeth, she went forward in a hurry, "Did you sleep well?" Elizabeth scratched her hair in embarrassment and said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry, mom. Well... I overs
Elizabeth didn't know whether she was having her breakfast or lunch. After she picked it, Lydia held her phone and came downstairs with a smiling face. "Elizabeth, have you finished eating?" "Yeah." Elizabeth nodded with a smile. "Oh." Lydia grinned and trotted to the living room, "John, you're so cute..." Elizabeth stood at the stairs, wondering whether she should go upstairs. She felt that time really went by slowly. Why didn't James hurry back home? Before she could take a step, the doorbell rang. Auntie Chang ran to press the button and opened the door. About one minute later, several people came in one after another, carrying several shelves which were full of all kinds of clothes and skirts. At this time, John held Lydia's hand and came out. He looked at those clothes and said, "Well, I've bought what you want for you. Are you happy now?" Lydia was overjoyed. She looked at the clothes for a long time and then looked at another small
