"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.
At the airport. James and Isaac were waiting for Benjamin in a pantry. Although there was still some time before Benjamin arrived, they could wait. "Isaac, do you think Ben's skin will be very dark?" James played with the lighter in his hand and said with a smile. Isaac gave him a look of disgust, "You've asked me this before, and I've answered it." "You..." James also gave him a disdainful look, "Why are you getting more and more boring?" "What can I do to make you think I'm interesting?" "Why don't we discuss Ben together? Ha-ha!" "..." "Hey!" James couldn't help but snort, "Now you are like an old man, and you're not lovely at all." "Will you think that I'm lovely if I discuss Ben with you?" What the hell? How boring and childish James was! "Hey!" James shook his head and sighed, "So, it's said that interesting people are attractive and charming, while dull people are all the same. By the way, you are the dull people."
The tea table in the room was not small, but it was full of food. By the time the three of them finished dinner, it was dark outside. Looking out of the window, James sighed, "Gosh! I'm full up to the throat!" "Look at you!" Benjamin snorted. "What?" James leaned back on the sofa, "After coming from aboard, you came to your own hotel at first. You are treating me and Isaac to dinner on the surface, but you are actually here to inspect their work, aren't you?" Benjamin glanced at James coldly and then said to Isaac, "Do you think it's noisy here?" Isaac nodded, "I think so!" Benjamin raised his eyebrows, "You said you've been practicing boxing a few days ago. You must be quite skilled. Why don't you throw him out so that we can have peace and quiet?" "That's good." "Hey!" James immediately shouted, "Ben, you ungrateful brat! And you! Isaac! What do you mean? Do you think I am noisy? Ben, you b*stard, I came to pick you up with good i
After Benjamin changed the topic of the conversation, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as just now. James was no longer mischievous. He leaned against the sofa and looked at Isaac. Isaac nodded, "Yeah, I've made up my mind." After that, he chuckled, "Even if I didn't think about it carefully, I have no other choice. This... is my best way out so far." "Alright." Benjamin nodded, "Since you have your own plans, I won't butt in. But if you need anything, you must tell me." Isaac smiled after hearing this, "We are indeed best friends who have been playing with each other since childhood. Your words are exactly the same as Jimmy's words. However, I have to tell you that I don't want to bother you until I have no other choice. Although I have never engaged in business before, I chose relevant courses when I was at school. Moreover, you and Jimmy are talented businessmen, aren't you? I learned something about business from you two." "I know that it is easy to s
Evelyn walked back and forth in the room, eating fruits and shouting at Frederick from time to time. "Hey! You make a mistake. Are you stupid?" "Look at you! You make a mistake again! Oh, my god! What were you doing in class? I admit that my grades were not good, but your grades are even worse than mine. Aren't you embarrassed?" "Tut-tut! I don't want to criticize you again, but I have to. You really let me down!" "Alas! You'd better just eat the fruits." ...... Listening to Evelyn's annoying words, Frederick had run out of his patience. He put down the pen in his hand and looked at Evelyn helplessly, "Aunt, do you know that you are very annoying?" "Ah?" Evelyn was stunned for a moment, and then she was choked and begun to cough, "Ahem... what did you say? Am I annoying?" Frederick was wondering if Evelyn was a woman without self-knowledge and said, "That's almost what I mean." "You little brat! Do you know that I'm doing this for y
"No." Evelyn shook her head with certain. Seeing this, Frederick pouted very unhappily and then snorted angrily, "Aunt, you are so annoying." Evelyn said, "You little brat. You know nothing." "I've told you many times that I'm very intelligent. Don't always treat me like a child and think that I don't know anything." After that, he looked at Evelyn, "Tell me. Is there anything that I don't know about you?" "I'm not your family. I'm just your teacher. How can I live in your house?" "But I invited you." "Should I live here just because you invited me? Are you kidding me?" "Shouldn't a guest suit the convenience of the host? You're in my house, so you're my guest and you should listen to me." Frederick said very naturally. "Ha-ha..." Evelyn gave a fake laugh and then said, "You said that you were smart, but you're exactly talking nonsense." "Anyway, that's what I mean." Frederick didn't think that there was anything improper, "I'm invi
"No." "It must be!" Frederick nodded with certainty and smiled mischievously, as if he was saying, "I knew I was right." Evelyn only felt that she was going to have a nervous breakdown. She really wanted to rush out recklessly. As a beautiful twenty-year-old girl who was about to graduate from university and start a new life in this society, she was actually being questioned by a five-year-old kid in this room... Come on! What a shame! Moreover, Frederick knew nothing about her! He was a child who always ran away from home. What right and position did he have to meddle in her affairs? If he went out of the house, he couldn't even be able to eat breakfast the next morning. But he was actually caring about her love affairs? What exactly did he know about her? Why did he have the courage and confidence to say so? "Do you want me to comment on you homework or not? If you don't want, I'll go back now." She didn't bother to talk to him! "
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
