"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
Zena nodded and then smiled faintly, "Well..." She pursed her lips, "Is Xavier... all right?" Elizabeth was stunned, and then replied, "Mm." "I knew he would be all right." Zena sighed. The smile on face was somewhat bitter. "..." Regardless of whether Elizabeth was interested in listening or not, Zena said directly, "Thinking of the past and my present, I feel that it is like a dream. In the past few years, Xavier... lived a hard life. I know it all." "At that time, in order to get him, it could be said that I used all kinds of methods. But... I did the wrong thing. Once people start to do a wrong thing, what they do next will all be wrong, except for the day when they come forward to admit their mistakes." "It has been so many years. Perhaps you don't believe me, but in the first few years, I felt guilty and sorry for him. However, at the same time, I thought that it was worth it, because I could accompany him by his side and chat with him, althoug
Zena looked at Elizabeth nervously with caution and uneasiness in her eyes that Elizabeth had never seen before. "..." Elizabeth pursed her lips and was hesitating. At this time, Zena explained in a hurry, "Don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you. I..." Zena swallowed and said awkwardly, "I know that I should feel lucky because you came here today. In the future... I won't bother you anymore. You know that Jimmy is angry with me and hates me. He knows that I wronged him and did something terrible to you. According to his temper, even if I asked my mother to find him, he wouldn't come here." "As for Xavier... he must hate me to the extreme now. How could he come here?" Saying this, Zena slightly raised his head. After a long time, she blinked his eyes. When she looked at Elizabeth again, she had successfully forced back the tears in her eyes, but her eyes were a little red. Looking at Zena's eye-catching white hair, the new but not stylish unifor
Elizabeth stared at Zena for a while, and then nodded slightly, "Okay." At first, Zena was stunned, and then she widened her eyes with joy, "Really? Well... thank you so much." Elizabeth looked at Zena, who was sitting opposite her. At this time, Zena was like a child. She was excited and happy, and it seemed that she couldn't believe what she had heard, but Elizabeth could see that she was overjoyed. Zena let out a long sigh of relief. She had stopped crying, but tears came down her cheeks again at this time, "Thank you! Thank you so much." She wiped her tears while saying to Elizabeth. Elizabeth remained silent with complicated feelings in heart. After a moment, she said, "You're welcome. My purpose is not to help you." "I know." Zena nodded repeatedly, "I know, but I still have to thank you." "Well, that's it. It's time for me to go back." Elizabeth thought for a while, "In the future, don't let your mother come to me again. I came here today for
Elizabeth walked out of the gate and did not look back. However, a gust of wind picked up, causing her hair to flutter in the wind. She curled her lips, reached out to arrange her hair, and then stepped forward. This place was very remote. She suddenly regretted not letting the taxi driver wait for her. At this time... she didn't know how long it would take to hail a taxi. However, after she took two steps, she stopped and stared at the car parked on the roadside not far away. Then she looked straight at the man who leaned against the car with his arms crossed. Beside his feet, there were two cigarette butts. One of them was still gleaming. Elizabeth pursed her lips and suddenly felt a little flustered. Why did... James come here? Moreover, he was staring straight at her and there was no anger or joy on his face. She really didn't know whether he was angry or not. It was not easy for her to come out with his permission. In order to come h
James smiled smugly, "Uh-huh, that's right." Elizabeth's eyes widened, "You can't do this!" "What?" James glanced at her and then turned his head quickly. Staring at the road in front of him, he said blandly, "Honey, you made a mistake first." Therefore, she couldn't blame him. Humph! She should be punished! "Didn't I tell you that I could explain? You haven't listened to my explanation. Aren't you being too arbitrary?" James smiled faintly, and his eyes were full of smiles, "No." "You!" Elizabeth snorted angrily, "You are too unreasonable! I will go back and complain to mom! She will give you a lesson!" Hearing this, James was unconcerned, "Mom? I am not afraid of her. Besides, you have been too close with mom recently, so you are so disobedient." Elizabeth put on a fake smile, "So... do you mean that mom is bad? Remember what you said. When we go back later, mom will scold you!" James was a little helpless, "Honey, you not only l
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
