"You have your own wedding photos now, so you don't have to envy others." Others' happiness had nothing to do with them, and their own happiness was real and precious. Elizabeth was stunned for two seconds, and then she smiled and said, "You're right. I don't have to envy others now. It's so good!" James laughed, "Yeah." "By the way, although we only took four sets of photos just now, there were a lot of photos. Hey! You agreed with every word I said, and we actually chose all of them." Hearing this, James felt a little helpless, "Just now... you said that you liked all of them, didn't you?" Was she blaming her? It was really unreasonable! "Uh..." Elizabeth thought about it carefully, and it seemed that James was right. Therefore, she said with a dry smile, "I thought they were all good, but didn't I ask for your opinion? If you didn't like anyone of them, we didn't have to choose it." "I like every photo which is chosen by you." After saying that, J
Elizabeth snorted, "You... are too amazing! You actually know what I'm thinking about?" James smiled, "I'm not stupid. It's just a normal inferring question. You couldn't come to me without figuring out anything. This is not your style." "Alright." Elizabeth sighed gloomily, "I'm wondering... why don't tell him now?" James didn't expect that she would think this way. He was slightly stunned, "Tell me now?" "Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, "As I said, I don't know when he can recover from his experiences. Even if we ask him, he will only say yes." Hearing this, James nodded in agreement, "Xavier will really say yes." Xavier had always been gentle to others. Even if he didn't think it was good, he would hide his real thought and not say it. "You also think so, don't you? What's more, I think that maybe he can get better soon after seeing the paintings." "I... don't think he'll get better soon." James said. That day, on their way home, she told hi
"Elizabeth, look at you. I almost can't recognize you." Lydia looked at the picture on Elizabeth's mobile phone and sighed with a smile. Hearing this, Elizabeth smiled with embarrassment, "Mom, it's because I put on make-up." As soon as they returned home, Lydia asked them about the wedding photos and wanted to have a look. While Elizabeth was hesitating whether she should tell Lydia that she had taken pictures of herself, James told Lydia directly. That was why Lydia said so. "My stupid child, of course I know you put on make-up. I just want to say that you're so pretty." Lydia held the phone and didn't want to let go of it, "Look at you! I know that you're beautiful, but look at you... I've never seen you put on make-up before. Today, seeing your photos, I'm really pleasantly surprised." "Ahem!" James coughed, "Mom, don't you think you're exaggerated?" Although he said so, he smiled brightly. Lydia snorted, "I'm telling the truth. Don't you think E
John coughed helplessly. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. It was really uncomfortable to repress a smile. "It's okay, mom." "Mom, we are family. I feel I'm being treated as an outsider." Did she really think that her explanation was not awkward? Lydia glared at James. What did he mean by speaking so sarcastically? Was it funny? She had eased the atmosphere a lot, but he actually said that? If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have given birth to him! Although she thought so, she pretended that she didn't understand what he meant and said with a smile, "Yeah, we are family. It's good to joke occasionally, isn't it? Isn't it said that joking can keep a closer relation among family members? Ha-ha... " John coughed again and nodded, "Yeah, it's good." After that, he glanced at James. He was warning James. James shrugged his shoulders helplessly and stopped talking. He focused on playing with the tassels hanging over Elizabeth's shoulder
That day, Elizabeth stayed outside for a long time. She was in good spirits during the day, but when she went to the bedroom, she was too sleepy and fell asleep unconsciously. When she woke up, it was almost 12 o'clock at night. In the bedroom, only a small lamp was on. James was leaning against the head of the bed and reading a book. Seeing that Elizabeth had woken up, James put away the book and smiled at her, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Auntie Chang made you a midnight snack, and it is warm now. If you want to eat it, I will bring it up to you." Elizabeth shook her head and immediately asked, "Well, did you call Xavier? What did he say? Did he have time? Did he agree?" "Look at you. Why are you in such a hurry? You asked me several questions in a row. Which one do you think I should answer first?" "Of course I'm in a hurry." Elizabeth sat up, "Did you ask him?" James nodded with a smile, "Yeah." "Then... what did he say?" "We
Elizabeth arrived early. Twenty minutes later, Xavier arrived on time. Before she came here, she felt that time really passed by so quickly. But while waiting for Xavier, she felt as if every second appeared like a year in length. It was cold, and Elizabeth couldn't drink coffee at will, so she only ordered a cup of warm water. However, she didn't drink it. Instead, she held the cup in her hands and looked in the direction of the door from time to time. The environment here was not bad. Besides, it was not in the downtown area, so it was quiet. Elizabeth was very satisfied with the atmosphere. In this way, it would be more convenient for her to talk to Xavier. "Hello, welcome." When Elizabeth heard the waiter's friendly and kind voice, her heart missed a beat and she looked up at the door. Sure enough, Xavier came in. At this time, he was standing at the door and looking around. It seemed that he was looking for her. Seeing this, Elizabeth stoo
"It's good that you won't plead for her." Xavier was a little relieved. "Believe me." "Okay." Xavier nodded, "Say it." "Well... she said that she had something that you didn't want before, and she had always kept them for you. She... wanted me to tell you about it, and she hoped that you could get them back." Xavier raised his head and stared at Elizabeth, "Mine?" Elizabeth coughed lightly, "Yeah. This is why she wanted me to see her." "What's that?" "Some of your paintings. She said... you threw them away in the past, and she felt pity for them. She said that she wanted to give them back to you because she thought those paintings were excellent." Xavier narrowed his eyes, and his face darkened. The paintings he threw away? He seldom threw away his paintings. As for those which had been abandoned by him... they should be painted when he was in a terrible mood and a bad state of mind. In fact, those paintings were not bad
"No." Hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly didn't know what to say. If she was being unreasonable when she said that she didn't want to go home, at this time... she couldn't even say anything unreasonable. After a long while, she looked at Xavier, who was restraining himself with a gloomy face, and nodded gently, "Alright." "Then... let's go. I'll take you home." Elizabeth pursed her lips "No, you go back first. I... can go back by myself later." Xavier refused her, "When Jimmy called me yesterday, he told me that he had something to do today, so I must take you back. You are pregnant now, and I won't let you go home alone. I will be worried if I don't send you home personally." When Elizabeth heard this, she had mix feelings in heart. Obviously, Xavier was in a bad mood, but he spoke to her so patiently. She didn't know if it was because he was a gentleman or he was too kindhearted. But no matter what the reason was, she was touched.
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
