"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
"But she didn't vomit before, did she?" After a long time, James said like this. When Lydia heard this, she nodded and chimed with him, "Yeah. Why didn't she vomit in the early days of her pregnancy?" James thought so. Didn't the doctor say that she would vomit when she was pregnant for one month? But she had been pregnant for three months. Elizabeth sat on the chair and still felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't spit anything out. That kind of feeling was really bad. Auntie Chang said with a smile, "Everyone's reaction is different. Most of the pregnant women vomit when they're pregnant for one month, but some of them are not like this. My niece is an example. She didn't throw up when she was pregnant. A woman I know started to vomit when she was pregnant for seven months. Some pregnant women only vomit for one month. Some pregnant women vomit in the whole pregnancy and some even vomit before they give birth to their babies." James was frightened by what
Elizabeth sat on the bed, holding a fresh lemon in hand. She put the lemon by her nose and smelled it from time to time. Every time she did that, she sighed with satisfaction. James sat on the edge of the bed. When he saw her like this, he was amused, but he was somewhat depressed in heart. "Hey." Elizabeth waved at James, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?" James glanced at her, "Do I look unhappy?" Elizabeth nodded, "Of course, or why do I ask you like this?" James said gloomily, "It's all because of your morning sickness. I'm... very upset now." Sure enough... he felt smug too soon. Elizabeth sighed, "I'm also a bit upset, but there's nothing we can do." She shrugged her shoulders, "This is the common reaction that many pregnant women have, and I can't control it." "However." Elizabeth continued, "The doctor said that I could smell lemon when I feel uncomfortable. I think it works. Look at me now! I'm not as uncomforta
