"Is this really for me?" Evelyn couldn't help but ask while trying the dress. Elizabeth nodded, "Yes. It's tailed-made for you. See whether it fits you well. Otherwise, I'll have it adjusted and then it should be no problem." "It should be fine." Evelyn said, "Thanks to you, I'm now doing the job that I want to do. Although I haven't participated in the last production yet, I know it is good enough only by a look." Then Evelyn raved, "It's so beautiful! I really haven't worn such beautiful clothes before." Elizabeth chuckled, "Look at you. Don't overreact." "I'm not." Evelyn said, "We've known each other for years. Don't you know my tastes?" To move freely, she preferred to wear pants. In her wardrobe, there was almost no dress. Gradually, she didn't like dresses anymore. She felt that it wasn't convenient to wear dresses, and had to pay attention to the match. Most of time she didn't feel a sense of security while wearing dresses. But wearing
Hearing it, Elizabeth nodded, "You really thought thoroughly. Although you may have thought too much, I'd say you are right." "Elizabeth, I've thought so much in advance. I've thought clearly about what to say first. But..." Evelyn let out a dry cough and said, "I didn't say it out in the end." Elizabeth patted her on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. Tell him later." "I don't know." Evelyn shook her head and said, "I have to tell you I feel greatly relieved when I was sure that I wouldn't say them out as I watched him leaving." "Of course, it wasn't because I was too nervous. No. I just felt it correct that I didn't say them out." Elizabeth frowned and said, "Well, does it mean that you are just not that into him?" "Maybe, I don't know." Evelyn smiled and said, "Maybe someday in the future I will tell him. After all, he is really good. I just feel something missing between us. But maybe he will do something that touches me in the futu
20 hours later. Xavier came out of the airport and took a taxi. Standing out of the white iron gate, he felt a heavy heart. He finally came to this place. He had clearly said that he would not come before. But he was standing outside the door at the address Elizabeth passed to him for Zena. It seemed that everything was not so real. This place was a bit remote, but the scenery was not bad. There were lush trees all around, and there were many flowers and plants on the ground floor. The iron gate was not closed, leaving a crack. Xavier didn't think about why it was open or whether others would go in freely. He stared at the door for a long time. Finally, after taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door. Before he stepped in, he was surprised at what he saw. All the rooms in the house were connected to one big room. It was decorated like a boutique gallery. However, his paintings were not hung on the walls. Instead, th
Three days passed in a blink. Following the custom of A City, groom should pick up the bride from her own home. But Elizabeth was an orphan. Though she won her house back, she was alone. Moreover, she was pregnant and couldn't move around. Therefore, Lydia decided to ask Elizabeth to stay in Lu Mansion, and James to come from elsewhere. James would depart from the villa by South Lake, picked up Elizabeth in Lu Mansion, spent their wedding night in the villa by South Lake, and then returned to Lu Mansion the next day. James was a little dissatisfied with the decision. He said that they had already been married and asked why to make it so complicated for the wedding. What he cared the most was that he wouldn't be able to sleep with Elizabeth the night before wedding if he needed to depart from the villa by South Lake the next morning. Lydia didn't listen to him. She only said that she couldn't break the rules, which may do harm to their happiness. She
James and the groomsmen walked in the front, followed by a motorcade. When they arrived at Lu Mansion, James greeted Lydia and John and then hurried upstairs. "Elizabeth! They are here!" Evelyn said excitedly. And then she quickly closed the door. "Well." Elizabeth began to feel nervous and excited at the same time. "Well, well, well! Let's see how generous your husband is." Evelyn leaned against the door and said to Elizabeth, "I won't open the door if he doesn't give me enough pocket money." Elizabeth sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but laugh. "What if he doesn't give you at all?" "Then he will need to attend the wedding ceremony alone later." "Can you really watch it happen?" Evelyn pouted and complained, "Elizabeth, look at you. You started to speak for him already. You've been unable to work for a year. I'll give half of the pocket money to you. Just go buy whatever you want. How good it is!" "He will give you eno
Before Elizabeth understood Evelyn's words, Evelyn had walked to the door and shouted, "The groom, we've received your sincerity, and we're all quite satisfied. But there are questions you need to answer." James stood outside the door. Although he didn't know what Evelyn was up to, he still said, "Sure, please." "Well," Evelyn cleared her throat, "Do you love Elizabeth?" James frowned speechlessly and found the question didn't make sense. How could he do everything for her if he didn't love her? "Why don't you answer it? Do you need to think about it?" Evelyn asked. Elizabeth was also stunned. She stared at the door, looking forward to James's answer. Although he had answered this question more than once, it was special this day not only because there were people onsite, but it was their big day. By the door, Isaac patted James's shoulder and whispered, "She's asking you. What are you waiting for? Are you troubled by this question?" James
Evelyn was puzzled, "What's the matter? Is there anything else you forgot to say?" Elizabeth shook her head with a smile, "No." "So what's wrong?" "I..." Elizabeth smiled, "I'll do it by myself." Outside the door stood the man she loved the most. She was going to spend the rest of her life with him. He was her husband and her child's father. He was her hope and happiness. Therefore, she wanted to open the door by herself. Perhaps, this might be an improper behavior, but she did not care. It would be best for her to open the door of happiness on her own. Evelyn understood Elizabeth's intention, so she didn't say anything. After nodding, she went over to help Elizabeth up, but she didn't follow Elizabeth after she stood up. Because there was not something she should take part in. Elizabeth stood by the door. After taking a deep breath, she smiled faintly and reached out to touch the doorknob... "Are you here?" Her soft voi
There was still some time left before the wedding began. Therefore, after sending Elizabeth to the lounge, James went out to greet the guests. The makeup artist touched up Elizabeth's foundation and then went out. In the lounge, only Elizabeth and Evelyn were left. "Evelyn, sit down. What are you doing there?" Evelyn stood not far from the door, frowning and thinking about something. "Ah?" Evelyn came to sense, "Oh! Okay!" She walked to Elizabeth, pulled the chair aside and sat down, "After standing for a long while, I'm really a bit tired." "So why were you standing there?" Elizabeth said with a smile, "You seem... a little strange today." "Ha? Is that so?" "Of course." Elizabeth nodded, "You looked especially strange after you got on the car, and now you look the same. Are you not feeling well?" "No." "Well..." Elizabeth reached out to hold Evelyn's hand and asked with concern, "Are you a little nervous? It doesn't matter. D
