James's heart missed a beat, "What? Who did you see?" As soon as he said this, he became more and more furious and irritated. The person who could make Xavier so scared... "Who..." Xavier frowned, "Who do you think it could be?" "..." Xavier forcefully endured the pain and the sick feeling in his heart, and said again, "I saw the man... who raped me that year." Although James had guessed the reason, he was stunned when Xavier said it in person. After a long while, he asked in a light tone, "Really?" After that, he clenched his hands into fists uncontrollably. Blue veins stood out on the back of his hands, which looked a little scary. Since Elizabeth received the photos and recordings sent by an anonymous person, he had asked Samuel to investigate it. After so many days, they found no information. Although he was not worried on the surface, the anger and fury in his heart made him so uncomfortable. That year, he had looked for those
Xavier shook his head slightly, "I don't know." James frowned and looked up at the corner not far away. There was a security camera. Xavier didn't look at him. He stared at the empty space in front of him and said with a bitter smile, "Jimmy, I didn't expect that I would meet those people again, even if it's just one of them. I don't want to, well, I really don't want to see them from the bottom of my heart, and I don't even want to think about it. But..." As he said this, he smiled helplessly and took a deep breath, "It is a good thing, isn't it? After all..." "Only in this way can I know that I have wronged you all the time." Hearing this, James looked away and turned to look at Xavier, "Don't say like this anymore." As soon as he said this, he didn't know why, but he suddenly added, "Xavier... you..." However, after saying these two words, he felt that he was out of his mind. How could he ask that kind of question casually? If he really asked it, what i
"Xavier, you said you saw that person." James paused, "I looked for him before." Saying this, James coughed lightly, "You know that I was jealous of you, so I hired those people. I explained to you that even if I didn't choose to let them stop at that time, only a woman would take some pictures of you. How could I hurt you like that?" "They took my money, and I asked them to stop, but they didn't listen to me. Instead... The next day, I sent people to look for them, but I couldn't find them." "To tell you the truth, I stopped looking for them after you went aboard. But a few days ago, I started to look for them again. After so many days, I haven't got any news. You know that I have a wide range of contacts, right? I can't find them. But that man happened to meet you and then told you that?" James felt it strange subconsciously. Hearing this, Xavier felt that James's words made sense, "However, why did you start to look for them again?" "It's all because...
James was worried about Elizabeth, because she was alone in the room. He called Jane and asked her to come over. Then he accompanied Xavier to sit in his car for a while. He did not send Xavier back until Jane arrived. Xavier wasn't in a good state. He couldn't let him drive alone or go home by a taxi. Although James had agreed to find those people, Xavier was alone and didn't live at home, so he really couldn't feel at ease. "Have a good rest. Don't think about anything else. You have me by your side. Understand?" After entering Xavier's room, James said truthfully. Xavier nodded, "Okay, I know." After that, he said apologetically again, "I said that you don't have to send me back. It's very late now. Elizabeth..." Before he finished his words, James interrupted him, "It's okay. Didn't I ask the nanny to go to the hospital? Don't worry about her. What you have to do now is to take a bath and have a good sleep. After getting up tomorrow, do what you should
In the middle of the night, the room with only one wall lamp on was extremely quiet. Only Elizabeth's faint breathing could be heard. James sat on the chair beside the bed and had been staring at Elizabeth's sleepy face for a long time. He didn't even move. Looking at her sleeping face quietly, he felt warm and relieved in heart, but he was also somewhat depressed. In fact, his life could be said to be perfect. He had a good family background, outstanding appearance, enormous knowledge, a high status, a warm family and a beloved wife. In a few months, he would have a child. Even though he once had a difficult period, compared to the things that he had got, that period of time was so insignificant. The first half of his life was successful and smooth, and he was confident that he would live happily or even had a better life in the rest of his life. But, what about Xavier? They grew up together and lived in the same house since childhood. X
Hearing this, Zena was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say at the moment. "Zena..." Zena took a deep breath, clenched her fists and said, "Dad, I just feel that I can't give up like this." Albert sighed and shook his head, "What should I say?" Saying this, he became a little angry, "At the beginning, your mother and I didn't agree with you to be a designer, but you insisted, so we could only let you do what you wanted. We hoped that you would come back to the company when you got tired of it..." Before Albert could finish his words, Zena said excitedly, "I didn't get tired of it! It's Jimmy! He didn't allow me to be a designer anymore!" Albert went berserk, "Is that so? I think it's a good thing! Just take this opportunity and work in the company! I won't say anything else!" Zena's eyes were brimming with tears, "I said that I don't want it! If I give up like this, how will others think of me in the future?" She didn't want to disgrace herself!
Finally, it was dawn. James moved his aching neck. As soon as he stood up, Elizabeth woke up. Elizabeth was a little bleary-eyed and sleepy, looking somewhat confused and adorable. "Wake up? Are you hungry?" Hearing this, Elizabeth stretched her body while shaking her head. When she looked at James, she suddenly paused, "Didn't you sleep last night?" "I slept." "You didn't!" Elizabeth didn't believe him, "There is a mirror in the bathroom. You can talk to me after you go and look at yourself in it." James raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Do I look haggard?" Elizabeth kept nodding, "Yeah, you don't look well. You have pouches under your eyes, and you need a shave." Hearing this, James frowned and muttered, "D*mn! My handsome face!" "What did you say?" "Nothing." Elizabeth's eyes widened again. She stared at James and asked, "You really didn't sleep?" "I slept, but I didn't sleep well." James looked at Eliz
"Yeah, go ahead." Elizabeth touched her nose, "Well, will you... uh..." Her voice was not very loud, and she didn't speak clearly. Besides, there was the sound of shaving. James paused and asked, "Hmm? What?" "I'm just asking you..." Elizabeth coughed and raised her voice a little, "Will you do that?" "What do you mean?" Elizabeth closed her eyes. Since she had said this, she might as well ask it directly, "I mean... will you feel uncomfortable?" "For what?" Hearing this, Elizabeth let out a sigh of depression, "Will you feel uncomfortable because of the bed time right now?" James turned off the shaver and turned to look at Elizabeth who was standing next to him with a red face. At first, he frowned, but after a few seconds, he realized what she meant, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" "I... am just..." Elizabeth lowered her head and hemmed and hawed, not knowing what to say. "Uh-huh? If I really have a hard time suppressing my
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
