Elizabeth looked over to it. The sign that had just been dark was now lit up. When she saw the name of the store, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. The shop was called Elizabeth's Florist.
Elizabeth blinked her eyes hard, but the name became clearer and clearer, indicating that she was not mistaken.
So...
She turned back to look at James, "This is..."
James smiled at her and said, "It's for you."
No wonder he just said that she could take whatever she liked, instead of buying what she liked. No wonder he could take her away without paying...
"It's... for me?"
She had been to this place before, and it used to be a flower shop. So, he had just bought it for her?
"Bingo. Congratulations to Mrs. Lu for having a good start today. Do you like it?"
She pursed her lips and tried her best to suppress her excitement. Then she nodded.
She liked all the things he had given her. Besides... this was another big gift, except for her family's belongings and the set of jewelry. It was a great gift full of his effort. "But you've sent me flowers. Why did you buy the flower shop?" She liked it, but it was a little exaggerated, wasn't it? He sent her a flower shop just for her first successful case.
"This shop is big enough." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There're almost all kinds of flowers here. In the future... even if I don't remember to send you flowers, you can choose by yourself. That's great!"
It was said that daughters needed to be raised in a rich way. As his wife, she naturally had to be raised in a rich way as well. He would never neglect her. Since she owned such a flower shop, she wouldn't be impressed by the flowers sent by others.
Fortunately, he went to the hot pot restaurant today. And he happened to meet the waiter who was sending the flowers as Leo asked. Otherwise...
It seemed that he was still not careful enough!
"But..."
"Grumble..."
Before Elizabeth finished her words, she heard the disharmonious grumbling of his tummy.
She looked at James, who suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Are you hungry?"
"Well..." James was very depressed. At least they could have a hug at this point, right? Why was he suddenly hungry at this time?
"Didn't you have dinner just now?"
"A little." In fact, he only drank a glass of wine.
Elizabeth looked at James who was a little embarrassed. He was so starving that it looked like he had eaten anything. He asked her to text him as soon as she got to the restaurant. Since he came so soon, he would have no time for eating.
"Let's go back. I'll cook for you."
***
When they returned to South Lake, Elizabeth put the bunch of roses that James had just sent in her room, and then went downstairs to cook for him. She thought that she hadn't cooked for him for many days, so she didn't want Jane to help her. She only let Jane take a rest, and she was busy in the kitchen alone.
James wanted to go in and accompany her to cook. But Elizabeth thought that he was tired for a whole day. It was already past nine o'clock and he hadn't eaten yet. So, she asked him to go to the living room to watch TV for a while.
Although James had just experienced such an embarrassing thing, when Elizabeth told him a lot of interesting things about her in school on their way back, which dissipated his embarrassment a lot.
Jane had nothing to do, so she found a towel to wipe the dust off the cabinet in the living room.
James leaned back lazily on the sofa and watched the TV series. He looked at the direction of the kitchen from time to time, and the corner of his mouth had never been lowered.
What a blessing to have a wife!
Jane put her cell phone on the coffee table because it was convenient for her to work. As soon as the sound of the smoke engine came from the kitchen, her phone rang.
"Mr. Lu, the relationship between you and your wife is really good. As long as Mrs. Lu mentioned you, her eyes get all different and look more bright."
James couldn't help but raise his lips and looked in the direction of the kitchen, "Is that so?"
"Yes!" Jane said, and then asked cautiously, "But Mr. Lu, you and your wife clearly have such a good relationship. Why... do you sleep in separate rooms as well?"
This sentence undoubtedly made him feel painful!
He didn't want that either! But what could he say? Did he just say he was going to sleep with Elizabeth? What if Elizabeth thought he was a pervert?
What could he do?
He needed to consider this matter carefully. He obviously had a wife, but he had to sleep on his own. He couldn't spend the rest of his life sleeping on his own, right?
Yes! He definitely needed to consider it carefully. He had to tactfully tell Elizabeth what he was thinking so he could have a chance to sleep with his wife.
But now, he couldn't tell Jane about these things.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mrs. Lu is in poor health recently." After that, he said very seriously, "Take good care of her during this period of time." Jane felt a little strange. If Mrs. Lu was unwell, shouldn't he stay with her to look after her? But Jane looked at James. Mr. Lu looked strong and energetic. But Mrs. Lu looked weak. Maybe Mr. Lu was worried that his wife couldn't handle his needs... It seemed that he was really a good man who loved his wife!
"Alright!"
Elizabeth made three dishes and one soup, which tasted very homemade. But James was very satisfied with them. He was tired and hungry, and now he felt comfortable eating food that his wife had cooked!
After eating two bowls of rice, he almost finished all the dishes. He only felt that he was full of energy as if the car was full of oil.
"Would you like to add more?" Elizabeth sat next to him and ate with him. Seeing that he had eaten so much, Elizabeth felt comforted but a little distressed.
When James heard this, he wanted to say that there was no need.
Suddenly, he thought of what Jane had said just now. He thought of something and looked straight at her, "I... I'm still hungry..."
