After saying this, John narrowed his eyes, "You can't be so selfish." Albert was shocked. His body trembled, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. Zena knelt on the ground, shuddering. She felt a great chill run down her spine. Xavier breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful and moved. How could Jodie accept what John had said? She was so excited that she blurted out, "I told you that Zena has realized her mistake! Why are you so aggressive? Xavier is fine now! How can you bully my family like this? You ruined our company in order to make yourselves happy! Now you even want to bully my daughter? Selfish? Who is the selfish one? You're going too far!" Albert pursed his lips. For fear that Jodie would anger John completely, he had no choice but to remind her, "Stop!" At this time, how could Jodie be persuaded so easily? She opened her eyes wide and kept yelling, "Why should I stop? They have really gone too far!" Saying this, she gasped and pulled
"Uncle... thank you." Xavier said after sitting in the car for quite a while. He thanked John, because John didn't ignore his intention, and he didn't treat him with prejudice after he knew the truth. John and he sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Hearing this, John sighed lightly, "Xavier, you had suffered so much harm and grievances, but why didn't you tell me that year?" If Xavier told him earlier, he would have dealt a blow to the Meng family a long time ago. Anyway, he would never allow anyone to bully his child. When Zena hurt Elizabeth for the first time, he let her go for the sake that they had known each other for so many years. However, he had his limits. It had been so long since Xavier was hurt. He felt sorry for Xavier, and blamed himself at the same time. At that time, James and Xavier were studying in the school, and he was busy with managing the company and socializing with his business partners. He thought that they had grown up
The next day, it was blowing hard. That day, Zena was convicted of multiple crimes and was sentenced to ten years in prison. John blocked this news for Xavier's reputation, so not many people knew about it. Liron and Andrew were also sentenced. However, they were different. Liron was not the chief culprit, and he would be imprisoned for five years. As for Andrew... he would be put to death in a month. Xavier stood in the small garden and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him. There was no joy or sorrow on his face. Early in the morning, he learned this news from James. He had known that the result would be like this, but he was stunned when he heard that. Later, he had been standing here all the time. In fact, he didn't think too much. He just felt it a little boring all of a sudden. In the past, he was afraid and uneasy, and he even said that he would teach those people a lesson. But after everything came to an end, he suddenly
In the following days, everything was peaceful and wonderful. Although John did not talk much, he chatted with Elizabeth occasionally and cared about her diet. Lydia prepared different nutritionally balanced menus for her every day. Apart from chatting with Elizabeth, she took a walk with Elizabeth in the neighborhood and talked about the gossips of stars. As for James, he was very good to her. Ignoring the fact that he didn't know how to cook, he was a perfect husband. Everyone treated Elizabeth very well, and she often felt that she was living like a pig. Except for going out for a walk with Lydia sometimes, she slept and ate all day long. She has just come home for ten days, but she had gained six pounds. That day, when Elizabeth finished washing up and looked into the mirror, she could vaguely see her jowl. At first, she was stunned. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror carefully. When she found that she was really jowly, she sighed helplessly. She retu
James suddenly approached Elizabeth, and she did not dodge. Instead, she blinked her eyes and nodded with a smile, "Yeah." "..." "I thought you were outside, and you didn't pack up your things, so I..." Elizabeth thought for a moment, but she didn't say that she saw it on purpose, "I just wanted to sort out these things for you, and then I saw them." James was silent for a while, "Is that so?" He had been with her for so long. How could he not know what she was thinking? Humph! Did she think that he could not see that she was lying? "Of course." Elizabeth nodded repeatedly. In order to make herself look more sincere, she stopped smiling and put on a serious face. "Oh." "Look at you..." Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Are you angry? Just because I peeked at your drafts?" However, before James could say anything, she said in a hurry, "I didn't mean it. Besides, you prepared these things for me, didn't you? In fact, I'm glad that I
"No!" Elizabeth immediately said, "Am I that kind of person? I didn't expect that you would think of me in this way!" "I was just asking casually." "Your furtive behaviours were strange, but I didn't think too much, okay?" "Furtive behaviours?" Elizabeth stuck out her tongue, "Well, I should say that you seem to be very busy these days. Except for eating and accompanying me, you stay in the study all day." After hearing this, James immediately said, "I never ignore you." "I didn't say that." Elizabeth muttered, "I just don't want you to be too tired." "I'm not tired, really." After that, he looked at her, "Why did you suddenly want to find me? You should be sleeping at this time, shouldn't you?" "I woke up early today, and then..." Elizabeth said with a dejected face, "When I looked in the mirror, I found that I am jowly. To be honest, I am a little sad." "What's there to be sad about? It's called happy fat." Elizabeth was spe
Since it was a secret action, they enjoyed it very much. Lydia saw Elizabeth in good condition and thought she would be bored at home only. Thus, Lydia invited Elizabeth to take a walk further instead of around the villa only. The community they lived in was with great facility and located in the downtown area. There was a small park in it with beautiful views. "Mom, your phone is ringing." Lydia said casually, "It must be my husband being unhappy because we didn't invite him to come together." "... " "Oh, I'll tell you. Men sometimes can be over clingy. My husband is a great example. I'm surprised at how clingy he can be sometimes at this age." Listening to Lydia's complaint, Elizabeth chuckled, "Isn't it good? It shows that you are deeply bounded." Lydia thought for a moment and then nodded. "Well... As you mentioned it, it seems so." There were a few acquainted madams who played cards with her. Every time they praised her to be
Elizabeth felt a little helpless, but she couldn't say anything. However, even if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that she didn't understand John, did it? James did everything for her own good, and John did everything for Lydia, didn't he? He accompanied her, followed her, and even cared about her just because he loved her. He was afraid that she would feel lonely or be wronged in another city. Besides, no matter how delicious the food outside was, it was actually not as good as the food cooked at home. "Mom." After a long while, Elizabeth said, "In fact... dad did it for your own good." "Uh..." Lydia was rendered speechless and felt a little embarrassed. She thought that she had really lost her face and her image seemed to have been ruined in an instant. That was really an unwise move. Why did she say something like that without thinking? Didn't she give herself a slap in the face? However, she thought that she was a generous person, so she
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
