Zena couldn't care about the sarcasm in Xavier's words. She nodded repeatedly, "Really! Believe me!" "So... are you paying a debt of gratitude?" Hearing this, Zena only paused for a second. Then she immediately shook her head, "No." She forced a stiff smile, "How can you think like that? I... was willful before indeed, but you know how much I love you. I've loved you for many years. How could I give up my affection towards you all of a sudden?" "Of course." She added, "This time, you don't want me to leave. Didn't you... let someone bring me here? You also love me, don't you?" "Look! You love me, and I also love you. If we are together, I will love you more in the future." "Ha-ha." Xavier suddenly chuckled. His laughter was originally very low, like a sigh. However, he laughed more and more loudly, and even his body was shaking. Hearing his laughter, Zena was at a loss, "Xavier, you..." "Do you love me?" Xavier stopped laughing. He pointe
"..." "Is it because... I went to find Elizabeth that you are not satisfied with me and... get angry with me?" She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing secretly, "Just now, I told you that I did a wrong thing indeed and I've realized my mistake. Besides, I've been punished. If... you..." She closed her eyes and suppressed the hatred for Elizabeth in her heart. Pretending that she had really realized her mistake, she said again, "I know she's special to you. If you also think that I did something wrong, I'll apologize to her face to face. Is that okay?" Xavier still sat there steadily, not saying a word. Zena became more and more anxious. She clenched her hands tightly, "Xavier, just say something... What on earth do you want?" Xavier didn't say a word. How could she guess what he was thinking? Moreover, she had put on such a humble front. What else did he want from her? "What do I want?" Xavier digested these words in a low voice. "Yea
"No..." Zena stared at the TV in the living room and couldn't stop shivering. Her face was getting paler and paler. She could not say a complete sentence but kept repeating no. A video was played on the TV. In the video, there were two men, and one of them seemed to be injured. The other man looked a little awkward, and there were injuries on his face. It seemed that he had been beaten. She could recognize that the man was... Andrew. The other man said that he just listened to his boss and didn't know anything else, but Andrew said that it was her who asked them to hurt Xavier nine years ago. The video was not long, but Zena couldn't bear to watch it halfway. She staggered, took a few steps back and then fell back on the ground. It seemed that she had lost all her strength. She gasped for air, as if she would suffocate to death in the next second if she didn't breathe rapidly. Seeing this, Xavier naturally didn't want to see the video anymore. He turned off the
Zena trembled violently, and her heart skipped a beat. Then, she was in a state of panic. "You said that you loved me, so you pushed me into the depth of despair and ruined my life. Even now, I am still living in pain." Xavier narrowed his eyes and said. He said every word in a light tone, but his voice was full of intense apathy and hatred. "You said that you loved me, so you watched me suffer and made me live a lonely life. You said that we had known each other for many years, and you knew that I had no parents and my only relatives were Jimmy and his parents. You did something wrong, but you shifted the blame onto Jimmy. As a result, I hated him, and he was guilty to me. In the past years, neither of us lived a good life because of you. Moreover, I went aboard because of you. I had no family there and didn't dare to make friends." "How can you be so heartless? Huh?" After saying this, Xavier closed his eyes in pain. Whenever he thought of those memories
"As time went by, Jimmy seemed to like me more. He almost hid nothing in front of me. I used him to get close to you, but I could know whether he was lying through his expressions and movements." "He found those people indeed. At first, I wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, I pretended I didn't know about it." Saying this, Zena sighed helplessly, and her eyes were somewhat blurred, "I wanted to get you so much, so I thought that if Jimmy did so, you would not lose anything, but I..." "I know what Jimmy wanted. He just wanted to show me that you were not as good as you seemed to be and let me give up on you. But I knew everything, didn't I? Besides, even if you really slept with another woman, I didn't think I would leave you, because I loved you so much." "That day, I secretly followed Jimmy. However, I didn't expect that he would stop in the end. At that time, I was completely stunned. If he stopped, I still couldn't be with you, could I?" "Therefo
"Zena!" Jodie melted into tears as soon as she called Zena. Albert quickly walked to Zena. With sharp eyes, he immediately noticed the injury on Zena's face. Although he felt sad in heart, he did not say a word and just looked at Xavier. James also came in, followed by Richard. Xavier did not greet them, and his eyes were bland. Of course, James saw Zena's swollen face, but he did not say anything. "Zena..." Jodie took Zena's hand and sobbed, "Does your face hurt? I came here in a hurry, but..." As soon as she said this, she couldn't help looking at Xavier with anger in her eyes, "Xavier, how can you treat Zena like this? What did she do wrong?" Early in the morning, James brought a few people to her house and only asked where Zena had gone. Seeing James like that, she knew that he must want to do something bad to Zena. She thought that Zena had left anyway, and there was no need for her to hide, so she said that Zena had left for the airport.
"..." Seeing that Xavier did not speak, Albert was a little nervous. Jodie was very high-strung and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. In the past few years, they had been in the upper class, and they knew that daughters and sons of rich and noble families were very difficult to deal with. Although Albert was disappointed with Zena, she was his only daughter. If he didn't negotiate with Xavier and speak for Zena at this time, judging from Xavier and James's actions, he was afraid that... "Xavier..." Albert's mouth was dry. As soon as he called Xavier's name, Xavier said coldly, "No." Hearing this, Albert was stunned. He didn't realize what Xavier was talking about until two or three seconds later. His face turned pale. Jodie could not stay calm anymore. In a trembling voice, she said, "Xavier, don't say that. Can you calm down first?" "I'm very calm." Xavier said, "Almost ten years have passed. If I hadn't been calm for so man
Xavier sneered coldly, "I know you understand." Hearing this, Zena's mind went blank, as if she had been struck by lightning. Xavier's words were so brief, but these words kept ringing in Zena's ears, which made her have a splitting headache. Yeah... she understood what he was talking about. If she did not go to jail that day, she would die here... Ha-ha... She really wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Her heart was full of sadness and despair. These two choices were like venomous snake and highly poisonous poison. In many cases, multiple-choice questions were the most difficult questions. People would choose the wrong option so easily. At this time, she was facing a multiple-choice question. There were only two choices, but it was very hard to choose. Should she choose to go to jail? She didn't want that. She didn't want to spend the prime of her life in a dark place where she couldn't see the sun. Should she choose to
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
