"Well, you are right. Uncle is also your father. Although he doesn't talk too much, he is very kind." Although Elizabeth was not John's biological child, Xavier believed that John would treat her very well. "I know." Elizabeth nodded, "Dad and mom are very good to me. I always have a feeling that they regard me as their own child." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile, "Sebastian, you know what? Sometimes James is dissatisfied. He said that mom and dad treat me better than him, and he even lost his temper like a child." When Xavier heard this, he also smiled, "He just said so, but he wouldn't really think so in heart. He has a sharp tongue, but a tender heart. Maybe he is the happiest one to see uncle and aunt treat you like that." "Hmm?" Elizabeth asked, "He's the happiest one?" Why? Xavier sighed, "Although I have not got married, I heard a lot and know some about marriage. Many women don't get along very well with their parents-in-law after get
After Evelyn walked out of the lounge, she didn't know what to do. On such a day, as Elizabeth's bridesmaid, she didn't dare to walk around casually. She was afraid that she couldn't be able to be by Elizabeth's side when Elizabeth needed her. Moreover, in order to match her dress well, she bought a pair of five-centimetre high heels specially. She seldom wore such high-heeled shoes, so she didn't dare to wander around. But at this time, she didn't know how long Xavier would talk to Elizabeth, and she didn't intend to stand outside the door. That way, she gave them a feeling that she was eavesdropping. Alas! She was really helpless! After thinking for a while, she had to go to the public bathroom next door and peed first, so as not to be anxious later. Coming out of the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror again. The more she looked at herself, the more satisfied she was. In fact, she was not a narcissistic person. But that day,
"Did I scare you?" The man in black said blandly. Evelyn opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in disbelief. After a long while, she pointed at him with her body trembling, "You..." At this moment, words couldn't describe how she was feeling. She was shocked, but also puzzled. She even wanted to die. The world was so big. But why did she meet him here? The man was exactly her creditor! She heard his voice indeed, but she felt that it was a little unreal. She blinked her eyes a few times, but the man did not disappear. In fact, he not only did not disappear, but also took a step toward where she was standing. Evelyn's heart beat wildly, and she was about to run in the opposite direction. She really ran away. But after running two steps, she stopped, turned around and stared at the man. Benjamin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Hello." "..." His voice was magnetic and pleasant, but it didn't make Evelyn f
After a few seconds, Benjamin whispered, "What do you think?" Evelyn did not say a word, but she said in heart, "What do I think? You f*cking b*stard!" However, even though she thought so, she couldn't really say it, could she? Moreover, if Benjamin didn't tell her, she wouldn't be at ease. After all, she... owed him something! "I don't know." She pursed her lips, "You..." She stole a glanced at Benjamin, "You... won't ask me for money today, will you?" Before Benjamin could speak, she said anxiously, "No, sir, listen to me. I don't mean that I want to repudiate the debt, but I..." She scratched her hair, "I don't have much extra money these days. As for you... I don't know how much you need. But... I searched online. It seems that... your car is very expensive." "Of course, I just want to express my admiration. I really don't want to repudiate the debt! You see, we didn't know each other before, but we are in contact now. Besides, we can even meet a
"Evelyn, where did you go?" Seeing Evelyn come back, Elizabeth asked with concern, "I was going to call you." Evelyn was still in a confused state of mind, "I wanted to leave you some space to talk, didn't I? Therefore, I went out for a walk." "Oh." Elizabeth nodded, "I see. Come in and have a seat first. You'll be busy later." Evelyn walked in with her small bag and sat on the sofa casually. She looked down listlessly and just stared at the small bag. The bag was really not big. She just put a cell phone and a small amount of money in it before. Of course, one-third of the money was small change. In the past, the small bag looked exquisite and lovely. But at this time... It was no longer small and cute, but bulging and big, looking strange and awkward. In addition to her previous belongings, there were the huge red envelopes that her heartless creditor gave her in it. Ha-ha... Perhaps she had been influenced by her family since she
It was winter already, so it was not suitable to hold an open-air wedding. Lydia thought about Elizabeth's physical condition, and she held the wedding indoors. In the big hotel, the guests had been seated, and a soothing music was played in the hall. John stood at the door with Elizabeth three minutes before the wedding began. The emcee said, "Now, let's welcome the beautiful bride to come in!" Hearing this, Elizabeth, who was standing at the door, suddenly felt nervous and her heart missed a beat. She pursed her lips, held her hands together unconsciously and couldn't help but swallow. But even so, the tension in her heart was not relieved. She was high-strung, but she laughed at herself in heart at the same time. In the past, she was not nervous, and she told herself that she had got married for a long time and the wedding was just a mere formality. As a result, the reality was different from her imagination, and she had really overestimated
"I..." She took a deep breath, glanced at the people below the stage quickly, and then pursed her lips. Her hands were trembling slightly. James didn't say anything and waited quietly, holding her hand tightly to encourage her. Elizabeth looked back at James and smiled at him gently. Then she turned back, "Hello, everyone, I... In fact, I don't know what I should say now, because my mind is blank." Hearing this, no one despised her or laughed at her under the stage. They clapped their hands at the same time. "Thank you." Elizabeth thanked them softly. After thinking for a while, she continued to say, "In fact, James said something wrong just now." After she said these words, everyone looked at each other in confusion. What did she mean? James was calm. He did not say a word, and his expression did not even change. Elizabeth smiled, "Actually... I'm not as good as he said. In my opinion, I have many shortcomings. Sometimes, I feel that I am so l
"There's no need to give it back to me." Benjamin said. "But I don't need it." "Then... you can just throw it away." Evelyn did not say a word. She just took the handkerchief and wiped her tears cautiously. Benjamin had been paying attention to Evelyn's movements. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smiled faintly, but he put on a serious face soon. Then he looked at James and Elizabeth as if nothing had happened. Isaac stood next to Benjamin and had been looking at James. Music was played in the hall. Although Benjamin spoke to Evelyn in a low voice just now, he heard some of their conversation. At this time, he moved a little closer to Benjamin. Although he was still looking at James, he said, "Ben, what's wrong with you today? I haven't seen you treat a girl like this before." Benjamin pursed his lips slightly and didn't say anything. Isaac did not feel embarrassed and asked again, "What's wrong? Do you like her?" "..." "Alas
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
