"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
"Hello?" Evelyn was sleeping soundly when she heard the phone ringing. She picked it up without even looking at the caller ID and said. In fact, she was unwilling to answer it. It was really annoying for this person to disturb her dream on weekend! "Hello, is that Evelyn?" With her eyes closed, Evelyn answered, "Yeah, this is me." "Hello, I'm the courier in the express station in the east of the school. You have a package here. Please come here and get it." "..." "Hello? Are you there?" Evelyn moved her eyelids and said helplessly, "What did you say?" "I said that there is a package for you. Please come here and get it." The courier urged her on the phone, "Please hurry up!" "My package?" Although Evelyn didn't open her eyes, she was thinking about it slowly, "I didn't seem to buy anything online." When Elizabeth got married, she gave her a gift and bought herself a pair of shoes. Although they were all necessities, she
"What?" "I said that you don't have to." "Why..." Before Evelyn could finish her words, Lawrence said, "You don't have any package. It's me." "What do you mean?" Evelyn was confused. Lawrence smiled and explained, "I told a student who passed by to call you just now, because I didn't know if you're in the school right now, but I didn't want to call you by myself. I just... want to give you a surprise." After he called Evelyn two days ago, he dealt with some important work in a hurry. Then he booked the earliest flight and came back. What he said on the phone that day was true. He really missed her and wanted to see her. Therefore, he came back just to see her. Even if he could only meet her and say a few words to her, he would be satisfied. He had never mentioned these things to anyone, including Evelyn. When he got off the plane, it was half past six in the morning. He took a taxi and came to A University directly. When
"Could I... hug you?" Suddenly, Evelyn's head buzzed again. "I..." Before she could finish speaking, Lawrence took a step forward, spread his arms wide and hugged her gently. Evelyn was stunned at first, and she seemed to be reacting more and more slowly. She widened her eyes. After a few seconds, she began to struggle. Lawrence used more strength and didn't let her leave his arms, but he controlled the strength of his hands so as not to hurt her. "Lawrence...." Evelyn swallowed, "Lawrence, don't do this...." "Evelyn, don't move. Let me hug you for a while." Lawrence's voice softened. He said this, but there seemed to be a little satisfaction in his tone. Evelyn shook her head, "We're in the school." Although it was the weekend and most of the students who lived here were seniors, it didn't mean that she was the only one outside, didn't it? She was very touched at the moment and was no longer very hesitant to be with him
"Oh!" Evelyn entered the room and slammed the door shut. Then she leaned against the door and covered her face with both hands. "What should I do? My heart..." She loosened her hands with an exaggerated expression on her face, "Spring hasn't come yet, has it? Why can't I control my heart now?" "It's all Lawrence's fault. Why does he suddenly give me a surprise? Doesn't he know that I'm really easy to be moved?" She raised her hand and patted herself on the face, and then shook her head, "Evelyn, calm down! You must calm down! This kind of sweet thing is fake. Hold on!" As soon as she finished, she said with a bitter laugh, "But, now it seems that... I can't hold on any longer, woo-woo..." "Even if you can't, you have to!" Her voice became a little deeper, "Even if you can't, you can keep a clear head. You should control your feelings! Ha-ha..." "Control my feelings?" Evelyn opened her eyes which were filled with confusion and helplessness in a dilemm
