"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."
"What?" Benjamin was more or less disgusted by James's sudden excitement. James pointed to the screen, "It's the gift that Elizabeth opened yesterday!" Originally, Benjamin didn't take his words seriously. Hearing this, he looked up at the screen, "This one?" "Yes!" James nodded heavily, "Wait a minute. I didn't pay attention to it just now. Let's fast-backward and have a look." At this time, his heart was filled with joy, hope and excitement. He didn't see Adele or the gift without signature just now. Later, when he heard Benjamin's words, he was a little discouraged and powerless. Because he really wanted to help Isaac. If it was really Adele, Isaac would not be sad, and he could prove that Adele was still alive. Being alive was the best. James exhaled a few times and rubbed his hands exaggeratedly before he took the mouse and rewound the video. "Ben, we're about to see the miracle." James stared at the screen and said happily, "L
When James returned to Lu Mansion, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon. Elizabeth accompanied her Lydia to watch TV in the living room. When she saw him come back, she went forward to greet him. After getting closer to him, she found that he looked a bit vexed. In other words, it seemed that he was not in a good mood. "What's wrong with you?" Elizabeth looked at James and asked, "Why do you look unhappy?" James came out of the hotel and talked to Benjamin for a while. Then he came back here. In fact, he was not as depressed as he was at the beginning. However, his mood was really affected by the result. But when he heard Elizabeth's question, he didn't want to tell her what had happened and affect her mood, so he smiled and said, "No, I'm just a little hungry." Although he was disappointed, he would be fine after a while. Why did he have to tell her about it? "Hungry? Didn't you eat anything at noon?" "I ate lunch, but I didn't eat
They finished dinner together in a relaxing atmosphere. John put down his chopsticks and looked at James, "Do you have anything to do later?" James nodded, "No." He was not busy with work these days. Moreover, he had done what he wanted to do, no matter what the result was. "Okay, you and Elizabeth come to my study later. I have something to tell you." When Elizabeth heard her name, she didn't know why John wanted to talk to her and James. She glanced at James, and James winked at her to ask her not to worry. Then he nodded to John, "I see, dad." John took the lead in going to the study. Lydia smiled at James and Elizabeth, "I'll go up first. You two come up quickly." Elizabeth stared at the bowl in front of her, "James, what do you think... dad wants to talk to us?" "I don't know." James said truthfully, "But... it shouldn't be something bad." "Really?" Elizabeth was a little uncertain. To be honest, she was a little nervous. "Of course.
James washed up and came out of the bathroom, only to see Elizabeth leaning against the head of the bed with the documents pouch that John and Lydia had given her just now in her hand. "Why are you still looking at it?" James walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, "What are you thinking about?" "Alas!" Elizabeth didn't look at him and said, "I just feel... I'm very nervous when I take this." "Why are you nervous?" James said with a smile, "Isn't this a good thing? You don't have to think too much." "No. Don't you think this gift is too expensive?" Elizabeth grabbed James's hand, "Mom and dad give me a red packet yesterday, didn't they? It was so big, and you know how much money it was. Today... they even gave me this..." "That's because they really like you. Otherwise, do you think they will give it to someone causally? In that case, although they would give me and Xavier the same shares, they would have sent their shares to someone else." "Th
