Evelyn was listless all day long. She had no inspiration and dropped off all the time. Finally, she got off work and summoned up her energy. When she ate lunch, she had thought about what to eat with Lawrence at night. She didn't have much money, but she needed money to do lots of things, so she couldn't go to a very high-end restaurant. She should keep her word. Besides, she had promised Lawrence that she would treat him to a meal when he helped her last time. She hadn't delivered her promise. Moreover, last night... She found two restaurants online, both of which were quite good in terms of environment and dishes. Of course, the price was affordable as well. However, after she sent Lawrence a message and asked him to pick up one restaurant he liked, Lawrence told her that one of his relatives had come back and he had to attend a family dinner party at night. Seeing this, Evelyn naturally had no objection, and she agreed directly. Without th
Evelyn closed her eyes. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "Well, that's what I think. But Elizabeth, I told you about it before. That incident is a knot in my heart, and I can't let it go for the time-being." "You said that to me indeed, but I persuaded you, didn't I? Although he played a trick on you last time, he apologized to you sincerely, right? What's more, these days, we can see that he is not the kind of person who will give up easily. I told you that everyone would make mistakes. What he does after making a mistake really matters." "I know." Evelyn sighed, "but I..." "Evelyn, you should give him a chance. In this way, you'll also give yourself a chance." Elizabeth said with a smile, "From what you said just now, I feel that he's a very considerate person. Even a man from an ordinary family can't be as careful as him, not to mention that he is from a rich and noble family. Don't you think so?" "Yeah." Evelyn nodded. "I know that you are very
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded with a smile, "I like the way you're now." "Ha-ha." Evelyn laughed, "I am a very imposing and brave girl! I won't be knocked down by such a little thing!" "That's right!" "Alright." Evelyn said confidently, "Then I'll tell him that I want to try. Ha-ha..." She squinted her eyes and smiled, "Suddenly, I feel like I'm going to be a menace to him." "What nonsense are you talking about?" Elizabeth glanced at her helplessly, "Since you've made up your mind, do your best. I wish you a great harvest in love." "Thank you." Evelyn said happily, "I'll remember what you said to me today. If one day, Lawrence and I can... ha-ha. Forget it. I'm too shy to talk about this." "What's there to be shy about? Isn't it normal?" "Of course you think it's normal. You're a mother now. Are we the same?" "..." "But." Evelyn thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "We should treat this matter seriously. It seems to be inappro
When Evelyn left, she wanted to hail a taxi. But Elizabeth thought it would take a long time for her to walk out of the neighbourhood, and it was not convenient to hail a taxi outside, so she asked the driver to send her back. After Evelyn left, James held Elizabeth in his arms and leaned slightly, "What did Evelyn tell you?" Elizabeth looked at him with confusion, "What?" James said, "You two were smiling so happily just now. When she left, it seemed that you didn't want to part with each other. What's wrong? Did she win the lottery? " Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Why are you so imaginative?" "Humph!" "Even if she won the lottery, she wouldn't be as happy as now." James raised his black eyebrows, "Oh? Is that so?" "Of course." Elizabeth nodded with a smile. She had no way to hide her happiness at all, "She's going to be in a relationship." Hearing this, James frowned, "Why are your words.
"Mom, why are you here?" Benjamin looked at his mother, Janice, who pushed the door open and came in, "Why didn't you call me in advance?" Janice snorted, "What's wrong? Should I make an appointment before I came to you?" "What if I'm in a meeting?" "You'll come back from the meeting sooner or later, won't you?" Janice said unconcernedly, "Don't worry. Even if you are in a meeting, I can wait for you." Benjamin raised his eyebrows and felt somewhat helpless, but he asked, "Would you like to drink something? I'll ask my secretary to bring it to you." "There's no need." Janice waved her hand, "I'll just have a seat." Hearing this, Benjamin put down the document in his hand and leaned back. With his legs crossed, he put his hands on his legs casually, looked at Janice on the opposite sofa and said blandly, "Mom, I'm at work now. You... will disturb me here." Janice immediately got unhappy when she heard this, "You don't like me to come here? Humph
"Benjamin, don't make such a mistake. Do you hear me?" Janice said earnestly. She wished that she could walk past the large desk and shake him to wake him up, "Your dad and I are waiting for you to have a baby." Benjamin was very depressed, "Mom..." "Don't talk! Listen to me first!" "..." "Since you don't like those girls I have chosen for you, just forget it! But I only have one requirement. No matter what, you must be with a woman!" Benjamin could not stand her anymore. He closed his eyes and then stood up, "Mom, I said that your guess is wrong. I am not a gay, and I only like women." Should she be satisfied with such an answer? "You're not lying to me?" "I'm not lying." Janice stared at Benjamin carefully for a long time. She really couldn't find that he was lying or being perfunctory to her. Moreover, she naturally knew her own son well. If he really liked men... Ahem! He wouldn't hide it, but admit it generously. After all, he
"Why are you here today?" Benjamin pushed the teacup in Isaac's direction. "I think you're in the company now, so I came here." Isaac didn't drink the tea and asked, "Are you busy now?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows, "If I say that I'm busy, will you wait for me or leave first?" "Either is okay." Benjamin smiled, "I'm not busy." Originally, he had a meeting, but he postponed it because Isaac said that he would come here. "That's good." Benjamin glanced at Isaac, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Isaac said helplessly, "Anyway, I have never been in a good mood. But, I just feel particularly annoyed today." "What happened?" Isaac sighed, "I had a video call with my mother today." Benjamin didn't say anything, waiting for Isaac to continue. "She seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When she talked to me, she kept coughing..." Then, he looked at Benjamin, "Ben, you don't know how I felt at that time. I was anxious and wo
The mobile screen was completely cracked. Though it didn't break into pieces, it could no longer be used. Isaac gasped and clenched his fists while trembling slightly. Benjamin frowned and walked over to sit next to Isaac. He stretched out his hand in silence and patted Isaac on the shoulder heavily. Isaac closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Ben, I'm fine." Benjamin's face was dark, and he didn't say a word. Did Isaac say he was fine? No way. Benjamin felt sorry for Isaac while looking at him. How come Isaac turned to comfort him? "Isaac, how about..." Benjamin paused to think for a moment and was about to go on. But Isaac chuckled and stopped him, "Ben, I know what you want to say. But don't. Even if you say it, I may not listen to you." "... " "Jimmy said the same thing to me but I have no choice." "... " "I'm upset, but I still can live with it. I'm a son. I can't only think about myself but never care abo
