Looking at Jodie's eager and anxious eyes, Elizabeth shook her head, "I'm sorry. I may not be able to help you." She didn't care if Jodie would think she was vicious or cruel. She really hated Zena. Although Zena had been punished, she wouldn't sympathize with her at all. "You..." Jodie was stunned. She did not expect Elizabeth to refuse her so directly. "You haven't heard the favor yet." She was a little anxious, "Would you like to listen to me first?" She was so worried, for fear that Elizabeth wouldn't agree with her. Tears that she had been holding back suddenly rolled down her face. Elizabeth frowned slightly and didn't say anything. She knew that Jodie came to her mostly because of Zena. She did not like Zena, but she could not bear to see such an old lady shedding tears in front of her. "Just tell me about it." Jodie was delighted when she heard this. She raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, "That's great. Thank you for listeni
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded. James narrowed his eyes and stared at the top of Elizabeth's head. He didn't believe what she said. "Honey, don't forget that this is a high-end neighbourhood." Elizabeth didn't know why James said so, but she nodded and replied, "I know." "So..." James drawled slightly, "Even if mom wants to go to the toilet, she doesn't need you to send her tissues. There are tissues in the toilet." In this neighbourhood, there were many places for people to rest, as well as bathrooms. In the bathrooms, there were even disposable towels, shower gel, and shampoo. How could there be no tissues in the toilet? Elizabeth was stunned for a moment and thought that it was an unwise move. How could she forget this? Alas! She regretted that she didn't often walk around in the neighbourhood. Although she thought so, she immediately said, "Sometimes, when a woman has her period, what she needs is not only tissues. You know what I mean, ha-ha..."
As time went by, Lydia was very restless. Her stomach was still swollen, but Elizabeth hadn't come back. It was almost half-past eleven in the morning, and they were going to have lunch soon. She tried to walk, but it tortured her so much, so she could only give up. Moreover, she was obviously very uncomfortable, but she had to try her best to maintain her image, and she couldn't gulp in pain with her face twisted. At this moment, she did not blame Elizabeth. After all, Elizabeth was pregnant, and she was kind enough to go back to get the medicine for her. She couldn't ask too much, could she? Therefore, she sat quietly in her seat and silently endured the uncomfortable feeling which was caused by eating so much. "Mom." As soon as Lydia heard the voice, she was delighted and immediately turned back. When she saw James, she frowned slightly and felt a little guilty. However, she was experienced, so she immediately smiled, "Jimmy, what a co
After lunch, Elizabeth felt embarrassed and didn't dare to stay downstairs to look at Lydia's dejected face, so she hurried upstairs. James went to see her after the meal, but he didn't say a word to her. A minute later, he turned around and went out very arrogantly. Elizabeth was speechless. Didn't he say that he wouldn't blame her for having eaten outside? Why did he behave so coldly? Although she thought so, in the end, she just grabbed the remote control and begun to watch TV sulkily. After all, James might be angry, so she didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. James returned to the bedroom again and wanted to see what she was doing, only to find that she was crying, and her eyes were red and swollen. James panicked and ran to her in a hurry, "What's wrong? Honey, why are you crying?" Elizabeth didn't say anything and just sobbed, which looked so pitiful. "Honey, say something! Why are you crying? Huh?" He was really anxious. Before
In the end, Elizabeth naturally didn't fulfill her wish, but she did not think too much, followed James downstairs obediently and ate the food at home. However... she was a little absent-minded. While eating, she was still thinking about the program she had just watched. She couldn't help but think of the scene of Jodie coming to see her and even kneeling down to her... She could refuse her directly at that time, but she became hesitant after watching the TV program. It was really touching for a mother to do that for her daughter. In fact, she knew how wealthy Zena's family used to be. Jodie used to be a rich and powerful lady, but she was willing to work as a cleaner just to fulfill Zena's wish. She really did not like Zena, but... she pitied Jodie from the bottom of her heart. "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat it." James urged her in a soft voice, "It won't taste good if it gets cold." "Mm." Elizabeth responded perfunctoril
"I didn't say that I wanted to do so. Alas! Just have a look! I've brought it for you." Looking at the book in his hand, James had no choice but to read the contents Elizabeth found for him quickly and then closed the book. "What do you think? The experts said so." James frowned and said helplessly, "Honey, you've watched a lot of TV programs and news. So, how can you really trust those so-called experts? Uh-huh?" "What?" "For example, last time, an expert said that eating raw loach is good for health, but what about the result? Uh? Moreover, a so-called expert said that some people suffer from hair loss, especially many women whose hair is very long, and they lose a lot of hair while combing their hair. Therefore, he said that the only way is not to comb their hair. Bah! Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Elizabeth was silent for a moment, and then said after thinking, "But... you bought these books for me, and you let me read them. You even... asked
"Elizabeth, you haven't been out for a long time. Are you feeling good now?" There was a driver on the driver seat, so Evelyn didn't dare to speak too loudly and whispered in Elizabeth's ear. Looking at the car driving out of the gate of the neighbourhood, Elizabeth was in a good mood. She was like a bird which had been locked in a cage for a long time and finally had a chance to fly to the sky. Words couldn't describe how delighted she was. "Of course!" Elizabeth was very excited, "You don't know how boring it is for me to stay at home every day. Fortunately, my mother-in-law and others all treat me very well. They are not like the harsh mother-in-law and indifferent husband in TV dramas, but..." Elizabeth pursed her lips, "I'm so bored." "Alright, don't say that. See, we've come out now. Let's have a good day today. What do you think?" Elizabeth squinted her eyes and smiled, "Of course, but..." She was about to speak, but she immediately shut up when she looke
Elizabeth got out of the taxi and looked at the remote and deserted place, frowning subconsciously. No one would like this kind of place, and she was no exception. However, she had come here after making lots of effort. If she left, she would have done everything in vain. After signing the register, Elizabeth was taken to a small house. She thanked the people who brought her here, and then sat in the chair and waited for Zena quietly. In fact, Elizabeth's heart was very calm. Yeah, she came here just because of Jodie. Zena's business had nothing to do with her. There was no complicated feeling in her heart, as if what she was going to meet was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her. However, in the late autumn, the weather had become very cold. In the prison, it seemed to be colder than outside. She held her arms, trying not to warm herself a bit. Lowering her head, she looked at the ground in a trance. After waiting for about five minu
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
