"Honey." Elizabeth did not speak or move. James caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye and asked, "What's wrong?" Elizabeth looked up at James, "I don't know... who sent it." Almost everyone wrote their names on the gift boxes, and some people even wrote the names of their companies. However, there was no signature on this small box... James were about two meters away from Elizabeth, so he could not see what was inside at once, "Is there no name on it?" "No." Elizabeth shook her head. James raised his eyebrows, "Maybe this person forgot to write the name." After that, he leaned over to have a look, "What's in it?" Elizabeth took a look at the things inside and then took them out. A pink-blue baby suit and a pair of small shoes of the same color. "Did you tell others that I'm pregnant?" "No." James shook his head. He had become a father, and it was a great thing. He didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't
Evelyn came out after taking a shower and wiped her hair with a towel. Suddenly, she remembered something and paused. Then she immediately rushed to the table. She turned on the computer and googled Benjamin's name on the Internet. There were many ways of spelling his name, and she could only confirm several words of his name, so she was not sure what the right spelling was. Therefore, she typed his name according to the tone and the words she could think of before searching it. When she asked his name, she just wanted to know more about his background. Since she had known his name, she could find some information about him on the Internet, right? Benjam Cheng? No. Benjemin Cheng? There was no information about such a person on the Internet. Benjami? Still not right! She scratched her hair and saw a notification. "Do you want to search for Benjamin Cheng?" She clicked on the notification. This time, it seemed that she ha
"What's the matter?" Benjamin's cold voice came from the phone. James was used to his indifference, so he didn't mind it and just said, "Why didn't you answer my video call?" "Don't you know it's late now?" "No. I also haven't slept yet, have I?" James snorted, "You're not asleep, but it doesn't mean that it's not late." "Alright, don't say so much. I'll give you a video call. Answer it quickly." After that, he was afraid that Benjamin would hang up directly like what he did just now, so he had to add, "You're not allowed to refuse!" He hung up the phone and sent Benjamin a video call immediately. This time, Benjamin answered it. Benjamin had washed up. At this time, he was sitting in the chair in his study. As soon as the call was connected, he said blandly, "This is your wedding night. Why don't you sleep with your wife and send me video call?" After that, he smiled, "I don't want to watch the live broadcast." "Bah!" James said, "
"Jimmy." Benjamin raised his head and looked at James in the video, "I know that you are anxious, and you are kindhearted, but..." "But what?" "Don't you think it's not good for you to make a judgment based on your own guess and such a little thing?" James said directly, "Why? This is something about Isaac!" "That's not what I mean." Benjamin sighed, "You said that you didn't hide the fact that Elizabeth was pregnant, and you didn't spread it. But it didn't mean that no one else knew about it." Benjamin thought for a moment and added, "There is no signature on the box indeed, but maybe it was just because that person forgot to write his name. Naturally, I also hope that Adele is still alive. In that case, Isaac will feel better. But have you thought about a question?" "What?" James asked. "If Adele is still alive, why didn't she show up? Maybe what you analyzed makes sense. After all, she is afraid of Maxwell. But think about it. She didn't bri
"I'm used to it!" Lawrence's tone immediately became relaxed, "I can handle the work well." Evelyn scratched her hair, "That's good, ha-ha..." "It's not very good." Lawrence's tone became depressed again. "What's wrong? Is your work not going well? Didn't you say that you could..." Before Evelyn could finish speaking, Lawrence said softly, "Because this isn't my home, and I can't see that girl who I want to see at any time." Evelyn's heart plunged. Her heart was knocking wildly, and then her whole body became a little hot. Although Lawrence didn't make it very clear, she immediately understood that the girl he referred to was her. "..." She pursed her lips, and her mind was blank. "Evelyn?" "Ah?" "Are you listening?" Lawrence's voice became lower and lower. "Yeah, I'm here." "I miss you so much." Evelyn held her breath. To be exact, it seemed that her breath was not so smooth. "When I eat,
The next day. Elizabeth got up a little late. After breakfast, she went to Lu Mansion with James. As soon as she got in the car, she frowned. It seemed that she was in a dilemma. "What's wrong, honey?" While driving, James glanced at her and reached out to hold her left hand, "Don't you want to go back to mom's house?" "No." Elizabeth answered sulkily, and then glanced at James in a bad mood. "Why are you looking at me? What happened?" "Are you asking me? It's all because of you!" "Me?" James curled his lips helplessly, "I didn't do anything, did I?" He had been busy all day yesterday. Last night, he didn't have sex with her for the sake of her health. Alas! He'd better not think about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Many men from rich and powerful families got married because their girlfriends were pregnant. Whenever such news was reported, people would envy them. If he only talked abo
"He said he had something to do outside." Elizabeth answered for James, "He told me on the way here." Lydia frowned, "It's time for lunch. Do you want to go out now?" "Yeah, I made an appointment yesterday." "But your father wants to talk to you. He got up early today and has been waiting for you to come back. He has something to tell you." James raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the house, "Is dad looking for me?" "Yep." Lydia nodded and said, "Do you want to go in first? Besides, you'll eat lunch first after you go out, right? You'd better eat at home before leaving." James glanced at the watch on his wrist and frowned in a dilemma. He had made an appointment with Ben last night. If he didn't go there at this time... it would be okay if he broke the appointment. After all, he and Ben were very close friends. But... he was in a hurry to check the surveillance video. "It's not something important, right?" James said, "I'l
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Cheng, here're all the surveillance videos of yesterday, including those outside the hotel." The manager who was responsible for security said. James glanced at Benjamin and then said to the manager, "Thank you." "You're welcome." James did not say anything else. He looked at the screen and then glanced at the manager quietly. The manager understood what he meant, so he said, "Well, Mr. Lu, Mr. Cheng, I have something to deal with. You can stay here and watch. If you need anything, you can come to me." "Okay." James nodded, "Go ahead." The manager was a smart person. He knew that since the two big shots, James and Benjamin, wanted to watch the surveillance videos of yesterday, something must have happened. It was not inappropriate for him to stay here. When he went out, he took away other staff in the monitoring room. James dragged the chair aside and said to Benjamin, "This guy is quite good at gauging people's mind."
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
