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
Lawrence was silent for a few seconds. Then he nodded and said, "Yeah." "Well... is it urgent? Should you go back now?" "No, I came back today, so he called me to ask me to go there and talk about the work progress." "Oh..." Evelyn nodded and then asked, "Do you want to leave right now or leave after having breakfast?" "Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm afraid that... I can't have breakfast with you." When Evelyn heard this, she felt a bit regretful, but at the same time, she was guilty, because Lawrence came back to see her, but he had to leave without eating anything. However, she knew that his work was more important, so she just said, "It doesn't matter. Your work is the most important." "I'm really sorry." "Oh, don't say that." Evelyn waved her hand, "This is your first job, so you burden a lot. It's just a breakfast. It doesn't matter. Let's eat together when you come back." After finishing the last sentence, Evelyn couldn't help but ex
Evelyn went upstairs in a daze. The bag she carried in hand weighed a little. But at this moment, she felt that her body seemed to be light, like a balloon full of hydrogen. The plastic bag filled with food was like the string attached to the end of the balloon. It was tied to her so that she wouldn't fly to the sky. "This guy..." After quite a while, she finally managed to say, "Why is he so warm?" She put the plastic bag on her desk and took out all the food inside one by one. There were at least more than a dozen kinds of food in total. Just like what Lawrence told her just now, he bought the food from the canteen in the school. There were small teamed buns, and a box of rice porridge and eggs. Of course, the rest were the snacks that girls preferred, such as potato chips and plums. Although they were not as high-end as the snacks he bought for her before, he bought these for her in such a short time and she was very satisfied. Moreover... she was
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
