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
James thought for a moment and said, "You are right. But do we just stand by and watch Isaac's pain?" "Since we can't find her, we can only wait." They could only wait till Isaac was useless to Maxwell, or till Maxwell passed away, or till they found Isaac's mother. "Well!" James sighed heavily and said, "That's the only way." "That's right." "But two days ago, Isaac visited me and said something about himself. In my opinion, the woman he is getting engaged to is also difficult to deal with." Benjamin chuckled and said, "In my opinion, she is just a rich lady who has been spoiled and is still childish." Hearing it, James kept shaking his head and sighed, "Ben, you don't know women. Let me tell you, these rich girls sometimes are the hardest to get rid of. They sometimes are as clingy as sticky gum. When you piss her off, she can turn the world upside down for you and leave you no peaceful life." Benjamin looked askance at James. "I'm not
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
