Hearing this, Lawrence coughed lightly. At the same time, he didn't know what to say. Benjamin glanced at him faintly and asked calmly, "Are you too embarrassed to say it?" "No." Lawrence smiled awkwardly, "Actually... it's not something very important. However, it is quite important to me." "Oh?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested. "Well...." Lawrence rubbed his nose, "Recently, I've fallen in love with a girl, and I am pursuing her." After speaking, Lawrence continued, "When I was working over there, I didn't know if it was because I was too far away from her and hadn't seen her for a long time, and I wanted to come back and see her." Although he didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as he came back, he wouldn't regret what he had done no matter Benjamin asked him to compensate or not. He thought of how Evelyn looked like when she saw him in A University... Although Evelyn did not say much, he could feel that Evel
Lawrence was taken aback for a moment, "Uncle Benjamin?" Benjamin said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. Many people couldn't get married even if they used to be together." "What you said is true." Lawrence shrugged his shoulders, "But Uncle Benjamin." He suddenly said in a more serious tone, "If I can really have a chance to be with her, I will I definitely let her leave me." She hadn't promised him, and he could wait. He had the time and patience to wait. If she really promised him, he would certainly not give her a chance to leave him since she was so lovely. In this society, he was lucky enough to meet a girl like her, and she was like a treasure. If he did not cherish her or gave her a chance to leave him, he would be extremely silly! Looking at the earnest and determined expression on Lawrence's face, Benjamin pursed his lips tightly and felt more irritated. But how could he beat his nephew and warm him not to cast greedy eyes on the wom
"Evelyn, maybe I can't go to see you today. I should go back to work later. Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back." After typing these words, Lawrence examined the message twice very seriously. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he pressed the send button. In just a few seconds, he received a reply, "Okay, try your best to work! Fighting!" Seeing this, Lawrence couldn't help but smile. Even he himself did not know why Evelyn's message could make his gloomy mood suddenly became delighted, and he became energetic all of a sudden. As he walked towards the elevator, he replied to Evelyn, "I will. I've promised you that I would work hard. Don't worry." This kind of feeling... Well, although they hadn't become lovers, he felt that it was good to chat with her through messages like this. In other words, they were just like a couple. Ha-ha! "Beep!" He received a new message and clicked it q
"Mr. Cheng, are you looking for me?" Jeriel pushed the door open and walked into Benjamin's office. He had composed his emotions and was no longer guilty. "Mm." Benjamin nodded. Jeriel walked to Benjamin's desk. Benjamin didn't say anything, so he didn't speak, either. Benjamin leaned back in the chair. After a long while, he looked up at Jeriel, "Did you see Lawrence on your way here?" Jeriel didn't expect Benjamin to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, but soon came to sense. He replied respectfully, "Yeah, I met Mr. Lawrence when I went out of the elevator." "Did you say anything else to him?" Jeriel shook his head, "No. Mr. Cheng, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say." Benjamin looked at him again, and then replied blandly, "That's good." In fact, it was reasonable for him to be worried. After all... it was a critical point, so he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Benjamin knew that Lawrence an
In Grand Dynasty Hotel. James and Isaac arrived first. Isaac handed the glass which was full of wine to James. James glanced at it and turned away his head directly, "I told you last time that I've quit drinking!" Hearing this, Isaac smiled, "I thought you were kidding. I didn't expect you to be serious." James shrugged his shoulders, took the soda nearby and raised his head to take a sip, saying, "Have I ever made a decision casually?" It was enough to have learned a lesson. At the thought of the misunderstanding, his drunken state and Elizabeth's helplessness, he was still regretful. It was better to drink less. "Alright." Isaac didn't force him, "It's good to quit drinking. Drinking too much is bad for health." James looked at Isaac and glanced at the glass in his hand. He sighed and said, "Don't talk about me. Look at you now! You're almost like an alcoholic. You not only drink outside, but also drink at home day and night." "I
"..." Seeing that Benjamin didn't say anything, Isaac urged him, "Ben, since you asked me and Jimmy to come here, you're not afraid that we'll know about it, are you? If you don't say anything, Jimmy and I can't guess it. We're worried to see you like this. Just tell us. Maybe we can help you." "Yep!" James nodded and said, "When did you look so sad before? Even if you're in a big trouble, you wouldn't be like this. Just tell us! Perhaps Isaac and I can give you some suggestions." After that, James thought for a moment and continued to say, "What's the use of friends? We can't just eat and drink with you when you are happy. If you have any problems, it's time for me and Isaac to help you. Come on. Tell me and Issac what has happened. We're your advisors. Maybe things are not as difficult as you think, right?" "Alas!" Benjamin sighed lightly, "Lawrence also likes Evelyn, doesn't he? I think..." He paused, and then said in a self-deprecating tone, "I'm too mean."
James rolled his eyes at him, "Ben, are you stupid?" "..." "You think in a wrong way." James guided him gently as an adviser, "Do you think you have the strength to chase after her? Tell me honestly." Benjamin glanced at James and nodded lightly, "Mm." "Do you think you are old now?" Benjamin pursed his thin lips and then said helplessly, "I don't think so." "Then, ignoring the fact that you and Lawrence are relatives, who do you think is more capable? You or him?" Benjamin frowned, "Do you think... I need to answer this question?" "Of course you're more capable, right? Moreover." James continued to ask, "Is love selfish?" "It... seems to be." James immediately reached out his right forefinger and shook it twice, "No, love is truly selfish! Sometimes, if you stand in the position of a bystander, you may really feel that love is dispensable, and sometimes you may feel that it is troublesome. But if you really fall in love with
As the days went by, everyone's life was going on in an orderly manner. Elizabeth had been pregnant for three months, and her flat belly had become slightly swollen. However, she was thin and wore thick clothes in winter, so others couldn't notice her pregnancy. But James was not the same. After washing up at night, he looked at Elizabeth's belly and had very complicated emotions in heart, but he was very proud. "Alas! After so many days, I can finally feel my son now." Saying this, he reached out and touched it. Elizabeth laughed, What are you talking about?" "When I was young, I found that the aunt next door suddenly had a big belly. At that time, I always thought that women's bellies would become so big immediately after they got pregnant. Later I grew up and knew that I had been wrong. However... honey, why are your belly still not big?" "I don't think so. The child grows big slowly day by day, right?" "I just want him to grow big soon so t
