In the study, John was sitting on a small sofa and waiting for the water in the teapot on the tea tray to boil. He looked at James, who was sitting on the side. After a slight sigh, he said, "Elizabeth is back safe and sound. We all rest assured." James stared at the teapot in front of him and nodded slightly. However, he was far from being as calm as he looked. He was a little impulsive, but he didn't regret it. However, his father didn't scold or punish him. Instead, John only sat peacefully and chatted with him. It made James surprised. "Next, What's your plan?" "Pardon?" John was a little unhappy, but he did not lose his temper. "What are you going to do next?" James was silent for a while. "I'm the one who turned to Richard. He helped me with it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do it so fast. I owe him a favor, and I am clear about what to do. He said that they are going to make a match recently, about performance. They applied for it, bu
Seeing James go downstairs, Lydia stopped watching TV and quickly ran to James's side. "Kid, what did your father say to you?" James was in a good mood. He grinned, "What else could happen? His son almost made a big mistake today. He was punishing me with family laws. Do you believe it?" Lydia obviously didn't believe it. She patted him on the shoulder and pretended to be angry, "I will be happy if he really has punished you." "Lydia, am I really your biological son?" "Of course not." Lydia spread her hands. "Back then, we were lucky and picked up a child from the trash can outside the house. Go out and have a look. The trash can is still there." "I see." James nodded happily. "I'm asking you. What did your father say to you?" "Do you want to know?" James raised his eyebrows. "Of course! Tell me now!" James stopped smiling and said, "Then just go upstairs and ask Mr. Lu yourself." "Oh!" Lydia was speechless. "You naughty kid.
Richard let out a mournful cry. "Jimmy, you are so annoying." James did not speak either, but his eyes became even more sharp and deep. Richard looked at James and sighed gloomily. "Well, it's my old man, okay?" "What's the matter?" "Ah! What else can it be?" Richard shrugged helplessly. "I know that he wouldn't agree even if I asked him. He would only think that I was kidding. So, I did everything in his name. Well, it's easy to imagine how angry he was. Fortunately, he didn't have a heart attack, and he wasn't so angry to have a heart attack. But he ordered me to discharge by the end of the year and to take over his business." Hearing this, James felt complicated, and his face darkened. After a long while, he sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble." "What are you talking about?" Richard gave him an angry glance. "We are brothers. It's good that I have helped you." Although Richard said so, James didn't feel less
Elizabeth felt a little thirsty, so she opened her eyes. Although the light in the room was not very dazzling, she couldn't get used to it for the moment. She raised her hand to block the light, trying to get used to it slowly. "Elizabeth, are you awake?" Lydia stood up from the chair and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?" Elizabeth was stunned, "Mom." She wanted to sit up, but she looked around out of habit. "Are you looking for Jimmy?" Elizabeth was too embarrassed to say yes, so she shook her head and replied, "No." Lydia had dated with John when she was young. How could she not know what Elizabeth was thinking? "Jimmy has something to do, so he went out. He'll probably come back later. If you need something or want to say something, you can tell me." Hearing this, Elizabeth pursed her lips, "Mm." "Are you hungry? If you're hungry, I'll bring you midnight snacks." Lydia asked with a smile. "No, I'm just a little thir
"Mom, James... also asked me about this, but... I haven't made up my mind yet." "Is that so?" Elizabeth nodded and looked down at the quilt. After a while, she raised her head again, looked at Lydia and whispered, "I don't know what to do." Lydia said patiently, "It doesn't matter. Just say what you like. I am your mother, and we are family. You can tell me whatever you want. I just want to know what you're thinking about." Elizabeth thought for a moment, "She has done a lot of evil things indeed, and she has become more and more vicious. For example, today she showed me the divorce agreement and asked me to sign it. I felt angry and thought that she was ridiculous. But at that time, I also felt that she was crazy and a little pitiful." "But then, she tried to push me down the stairs. At that time, I was really afraid and totally panicked. It wasn't easy for me to keep this child. Later... Alas! How shall I put it? In short, my mood is a bit complicated no
"Go away... Don't... push me..." Elizabeth's voice was intermittent and not loud, but her tone was flustered and panicked. "Punish you!" She screamed, suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for air. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. "Honey." James leaned over and said in a very soft voice, "Did you have a nightmare?" When he was a child, he heard from others that when someone had a nightmare, he couldn't be woken up abruptly and rudely. Otherwise, his soul would be frightened out. In fact, he didn't really believe this. But just now, when Elizabeth shook her head and muttered with her face twisted, he didn't dare to wake her up. At this time, he didn't dare to do anything that would be bad for her. Elizabeth was still immersed in the dream, and she hadn't come to sense completely. The expression in her eyes was addled. "Honey?" Elizabeth was stunned. She looked at the things in the room, and then slowly turned her he
"No." James squeezed her hand, "Why should I think about her? Anyway, I won't let her go. There's no need to think too much." Hearing this, Elizabeth was dumbfounded for a moment before asking, "You've made up your mind?" "Right." "..." "You came upstairs, didn't you? Then dad talked to me alone, and he said something to me. So, don't be in a dilemma and don't worry about it. Just stay here. You can eat or sleep as you like. I will deal with everyone and everything that makes you unhappy. Okay?" "So... what did dad tell you?" "Let Zena go aboard. She should leave this place and stay away from you." Elizabeth opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly. Sending Zena abroad was a big thing. Since they had made up their minds, she would be ungrateful if she wanted to speak for Zena. Should she help Zena? At this time, she was really not in the mood to do it. To put it bluntly, if she didn't want
Elizabeth was stunned for a long while. Then she raised her head and looked at James with puzzlement. Blinking her eyes, she asked, "What did you say?" "Let's get married." Elizabeth laughed and gently patted James on the chest, "Hey, are you stupid? I said that you were stupid at the airport today. Are you really out of your mind?" "..." James just smiled and didn't speak, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. Elizabeth didn't think too much and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? You're really too strange. We have got married, haven't we? Why should we get married again?" Had he been so worried that he became silly? James sighed softly, "I know that we've got married." "So why did you say that?" "Honey, what I mean is that we are going to hold a wedding." "Huh?" Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. To be exact, she was shocked. "Well..." Elizabeth licked her lip. At this time, she was a little flustered, confused, an
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
