Elizabeth stared at him and watched him talk, “Okay, okay, I get it.”
He organized what he organized. This man could be so full of excuses when he needed to come up with reasons.
However, Elizabeth did not probe further.
The next day, everyone was preparing to go back.
Olivia could not bear to part with Elizabeth, saying that they were always too busy despite being so close to each other. She asked Elizabeth to visit their home often, to which she gave her word.
Olivia climbed the car back first. Elizabeth and Christian followed after.
In the care, Elizabeth kept looking at her photos.
Christian said, “They all look nice; you don’t need to choose.”
Elizabeth replied, “Well, my complexion is good, so any photo is good.”
That was true. Elizabeth did not look bad in the first place.
However, Christian continued looking at her and said, “You are the one getting more Self
“I don't like anyone. I just like a retard like you,” Charles turned and patted her head.“Ah, you are the retard. Your whole family is full of retards! How dare you treat me like this” Elizabeth exclaimed in exasperation.Elizabeth was furious she stopped talking to Charles.They soon reached their destination. Charles dropped her off at the roadside and drove off.When she returned, Christian was waiting for her. He sat on the sofa with his feet up and his head bent down as he read a book.Seeing that Elizabeth got back around nine, he got up and said, “How come you’re back so early? I thought I would need to wait until after ten.”Elizabeth didn’t say anything. It was all Charles’s fault for dragging her home for no reason.“Nothing. The food wasn’t so great, so I came back.”“So you didn’t eat?”“Yeah, I didn’t have
As Elizabeth was waiting, she kept looking back at Christian.He was sitting upright and looking around. He looked so out of place as a perfect painting in the middle of a retro place.Just then, some young ladies at the side noticed Christian.“Wow, that man there is so handsome.”“Too handsome. Is he from our school?”“I don’t think so. He is dressed very maturely.”“Like a celebrity. I can’t take it. I feel like I’m going to faint from just looking at him. Who wants to go over and say hi?”“I don’t dare. You do it.”Elizabeth thought silently, Girls these days… They don’t have a single drop of self-restraint.But it was true that Christian caused a big reaction wherever he went.Looking back, that enchanter was still so oblivious as he sat there, quietly shining.Elizabeth quickly took a number and hurriedly
Christian stopped Elizabeth from going to him. He looked up and said, “It’s okay, it was probably just too spicy.”Elizabeth was naturally scared. If she brought him out to eat spicy noodle soup and ended up making the president of Ford Industries sick, she would be in big trouble.Even though Christian said that she could tell that his face was becoming pale with pain.Elizabeth hurriedly said, “No, we need to go to the hospital. What if it’s food poisoning or something? That will be too dangerous.”Christian could not hide his discomfort and thought for a while before taking his phone out, “Call Andrin.”Oh right, he had his personal doctor.Elizabeth quickly took the phone and called Andrin.“President Ford, you’ve been ignoring me for a while. I thought you really fired me,” Andrin answered.“No… Dr. Andrin, It's Elizabeth, Christian is sick. Can
Elizabeth had no choice and said to her, “Fine, I’ll go pick you and you can stay with me tonight.”“Lisa, I didn’t do it on purpose too. I’m so unlucky. You can send someone else if you're busy""I'll come. don't worry" Elizabeth ends the call.She got the address and asked Andrin, “What time will the treatment end? I need to go pick up a friend.”Andrin said, “Madam, you can just stay here and keep President Ford company. I’ll help you pick your friend.”Elizabeth replied, “You probably won’t be able to find it…”“Isn’t she that friend who works with you?” Andrin said plainly.“Yes.”“I know where she is staying,” as he spoke, Andrin took his keys and left.Elizabeth was confused about how did he know about Susan's location. Susan had never mentioned Andrin...Inside, the nur
Elizabeth asked curiously, “What banquet is it?”Christian said, “Just an internal charity banquet. I need to bring a female partner along.”Elizabeth replied, “Then take your female partner along.”“I have a wife. Why would I need a female partner?”Elizabeth laughed, “Alright. Then, I’ll… go with you.”On the outside, it was as if she was being forced but she was actually happy about it.To attend a banquet with Christian.She had never done that before…Soon after, the caretaker called and told Elizabeth that she would be picked up to change her clothes and tidy up so that it would be more convenient for her to attend the banquet.In the evening.Christian arrived early and was in Elizabeth’s private makeup studio.As the makeup artist was a top-skilled professional, there usually were a lot of people. But, Today, becau
Elizabeth chuckled and looked at Christian. She pulled him over and said, "Come. Let’s take one with the beauty filter and one without. Try it and you’ll know.”“I don’t want…”“I won’t take no for answer…”Elizabeth pulled him over and tilted her head slightly towards him so that both of them could fit in the frame.Elizabeth said, “One, two, three, say cheese.”‘Snap!” The image of the two of them was locked in the phone screen.After adding the beauty filter, Elizabeth showed it to Christian, “See? Doesn’t this look very nice?”Christian raised his brow, “When people look good, they’ll look good in any photo.”Elizabeth said, “Wow, see this? The folds on your skin were all smoothened away. Your skin looks so tender.”“Elizabeth!” She was minding his age again!E
Chelsea said, “Then can you let Elizabeth come to my party? I’ll take it like your forgiveness for my past childishness.”Elizabeth looked at Christian with objection in her eyes.There was no way she would Go.If anything couldn’t make her happy, she would rather be tied to a leash.This was obviously not going to make her happy. Instead, it would make her furious. Also, who knows what kind of motive Chelsea would have? She was not going to walk into a trap.Christian looked at Elizabeth, then turned to Chelsea and said, “I don’t want to force her to do something she is not willing to do. It is entirely up to her.”Chelsea could only laugh dryly, “Is that so? Anyway, Elizabeth, you can think about it.”Elizabeth let out a breath of relief and said, “I will consider it.”Chelsea still wanted to talk to him, but she could only look at Christian and tolerate it. Sh
When Christian heard Chelsea bid for a tie clip just for him, He rejected immediately. But Chelsea's "I just wanted to give you something like a friend and it’s just a little something" he was Tongue-tied.Christian said, “Fine. I’ll get someone to take it tomorrow.”“Yes, good,” Chelsea wanted him to come personally but thought that she should not be so clingy. Thus, she controlled herself.If she wanted to be better than Elizabeth, she had to endure!Chelsea said into the phone, “I didn’t think that you would bring Elizabeth to tonight’s charity gala. This was your first time bringing someone to an event; do you know that? You never brought me in the past…”Christian hesitated and then said, “But I didn’t have anyone to bring in the past… You never liked attending dinners either, did you?”“I… Who says I didn’t? I thought you mere
