The hall was spacious and full of people. What was happening made the hall even more noisy. Some people were unhappy to be locked and began to argue with the staff. Some people were asking for compensation because of the delay. Some people were asking for refunds of the tickets. Those who were more patient were sitting quietly. Elizabeth sat on the bench and stared at her feet with a blank mind. She was clearly extremely anxious, but she couldn't think of a solution. This feeling of anxiety and fear was really torture. She had done nothing wrong, but she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't even go home. If she had known that things would turn out this way, she really wouldn't have left. Although there were many people here, how could she feel safe? No matter how many people there were, they were just strangers to her, except for Leo. If she didn't leave or come here, would she feel safe at the moment? No matter what happened, she would not f
"Can we leave now?" Elizabeth followed to stand up. Her excited expression was so clearly to be seen. She suddenly relaxed from worries and anxiety. "Is it that the target was caught?" Looking at the moving crowds, Leo said, "It's hard to say." "It should be. Otherwise, why were the gates suddenly opened?" Elizabeth didn't think much but tugged at Leo's sleeve and said, "Let's go now." She couldn't wait to leave this place. "Let's wait a little longer." Leo grabbed Elizabeth's wrist. "Why?" "There was no update just now. Who knows what's going on?" Leo said and turned to look at Elizabeth, "And everyone is heading that direction. They all seem crazy and in a hurry. Are you sure you can run faster than they do?" Elizabeth paused for a second and said, "You still have the mood to joke." Leo shrugged, "Do you think I'm joking. Listen to me. Let's stay here for now. I believe everyone was frightened and wants to leave now. It can be the
At the gate, the soldier walked through the path made by the crowd and then a group of people followed him through. Then they all walked towards Elizabeth. The man who took the lead was very tall with a dark expression as he took big steps. Who else could it be but James? Though he was dozens of meters away, she still saw him at a glance among so many people. James was not only handsome, but born with a great figure. Being in a high and leading position for years, he looked rather powerful and nonnegligible. Some, especially young women at the gate, couldn't help looking at him. It was obvious that they were amazed. But Elizabeth couldn't notice anything else at all. She even forgot whether she was in danger. She didn't answer either when Leo asked whether James was here for her. At this moment, James was the only one in her eyes. Even if the people following him were all men in suits with long legs, she could only see him. He was wearing black
"Leave?" Hearing this, Leo raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Then how is Little Bunny?" Elizabeth glanced at Leo and was about to speak. But Leo quickly pulled out his hand hold by Elizabeth and immediately grasp her hand instead. Leo held her tighter to indicate Elizabeth not to speak first. Elizabeth frowned. Before she could react, James on the opposite side took back his raised hand and said coldly, "She, of course, will come with me." He spat out the words clearly in a low voice. It sounded as if he was spitting out blades and his eyes were cold enough. "Go with you? And then be bullied again by your admirers?" The more Leo spoke, the angrier he turned. He had calmed down before. But as he saw James, what had happened in the hospital corridor raised in his mind. And it made Leo angry again. Leo felt him must make it clear for Little Bunny and remind her well, even though she might have made her decision. Hearing this, James froze. But after two se
Leo was stunned, but thinking of James's attitude, he straightened his chest and continued, "No! Why? Are you annoyed?" "... " "Mr. Leo." Samuel once again stood up and tried to negotiate, "Look, you've been talking for a while. You must be thirsty. Why don't we find a place to have a drink first?" Samuel indicated Leo to leave James and Elizabeth alone. When Elizabeth heard this, for the first time, she felt that Samuel was very smart. It wasn't her intention to have Leo stand up for her. But Leo did it for her own sake, so she didn't interrupt him. She had to listen to him only because he had saved her life that day. Many people had left since the gate was opened and only a few were around them. But it took time for everyone to leave. Some even intended to stay and watch them because James came with such scales and he was outstanding himself. It was pleasant for Elizabeth to be watched by strangers. If Leo left with Samuel, things would be mu
"James, are you crazy?" Leo shouted, forgetting that he was a celebrity. "F*ck! F*ck! Don't you know how to be gentle? I need to play piano with my hands. Auch!" Leo cried out in pain. Though his expression was covered by the mask, his tightly wrinkled forehead could still clearly explain how uncomfortable he was. The soldier probably thought that Leo was too noisy. "Shut up! Let's Go!" "James Lu! What are you doing?!" Leo widened his eyes in shock. He looked at the floor that was turning upside down, and then shouted, "Put me down!" The soldier didn't listen to him, but walked even faster. Elizabeth also widened her eyes as she looked at the struggling Leo in front of her. She said in a hurry, "James, where are you taking him to?" Such a savage style was really annoying! "He's too noisy." "Let him go now!" James looked at the agitated woman in front of him and felt sad. He said, "No." Samuel touched his nose and then turned to indi
"What if I don't?" Elizabeth said it slowly, making James feel as if his heart was pulled by a thread. He felt even more panicky. "Then what do I need to do to convince you?" He was so anxious that he could not help speaking faster. "You were there then. I didn't intend to do so. But you left with Leo and didn't give me a chance to explain. Wasn't Zena unconscious? Although I said harsh words before, what else can I do at that time?" "I can understand that you blame me, but honey..." James suddenly didn't know what to say. What had happened couldn't be changed, no matter what he said. "Are you blaming me for not solving the problem?" James closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what happened between you. But now, the most important thing is for you to go back with me, isn't it? If you go back with me, I will follow whatever you say. How you do think?" Actually, James had made up his mind in how to deal with Zena when he sent Zena to the room and saw th
Watching out of the window for a while, James turned to look at Elizabeth sitting next to him. He cleared his throat and tried to hold her hand. However, as soon as James touched her, Elizabeth shook his hand off in anger without looking at him. "Sweetheart..." "Don't call me." James raised his eyebrows but could do nothing about it. Samuel was driving in the front. And he raised the soundproof board in between with sense. James looked at the board and praised Samuel for his sense in the heart. But it didn't make James feel more relaxed. He turned to Elizabeth again and tried to talk to her, "Dear, don't be angry, will you?" They were all good before James stopped Elizabeth from saying goodbye to Leo. And then she was angry again. Well... James was angry at Leo for not explaining, but deliberately provoked him before. And he brought Elizabeth to the airport while he was clear that she was pregnant. "Don't be angry." James touc
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
