Originally, Elizabeth thought that James would take her somewhere else. After all, when he said that he had a surprise for her in the past, he always took her to eat outside or gave her a gift.
But he directly took her back to Lu Mansion that day.
Of course, she did not feel disappointed. Anyway, she liked here very much.
"Elizabeth, come on, eat more. Jimmy told me that you've been very busy recently. You have to go to Liang Company to work during the day and go back to school sometimes. What's more, you work overtime every night. Are you busy designing the dresses of Zena and Xavier?" Lydia picked up some food for Elizabeth and said with distress, "You’ve really become thinner these days."
Looking at the dishes that were almost piled up like a hill in the bowl and listening to Lydia's words, Elizabeth felt a little hot in her face.
Lydia said those words to care about her, but she felt a bit uneasy...
Recently, she went to work every day indeed, but she was not busy designing dresses at night. Sometimes, she wanted to draw a draft, but James coaxed and pestered her until she went back to the bedroom...
"Thank you, mom. There are so many dishes in my bowl. Just have your meal and don't care about me." After saying that, Elizabeth turned her head to look at James, and then glare at him.
As early as the moment she turned her head, James saw her from the corner of his eye and also turned his head to look at her. Seeing her glaring at him, he was not angry at all. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled innocently.
However, in Elizabeth's eyes, he was saying "I just said that you were working overtime at night, but I didn't say what kind of job you were doing."
Elizabeth gave him a very "kindly" smile and then stretched her legs to kick him.
Humph! He made her so embarrassed!
James didn't expect that she would suddenly kick him. He was stunned, didn't swallow the rice in his mouth, and got choked. He felt so uncomfortable that he began to cough.
"Jimmy, you're not a child! How can you be choked by rice? You are really..." Lydia laughed happily and even gave him a thumbs-up sign, "Stupid!"
James gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This is a special situation! Ahem..." While coughing, he glared at Elizabeth who was sitting next to him.
Humph! She was getting bolder and bolder! It seemed that he should have given her a lesson while bedtime!
However, he really felt f*cking uncomfortable! There was a piece of rice in his throat, and it was next to his nose. Anyone who had got choked would understand how terrible this feeling was!
Elizabeth pursed her lips and turned to look at him with concern, "Why did you get choked all of a sudden? Do you want some water? I'll get you some."
"Ahem! There's no need!" James tried hard to suppress his discomfort and said madly, "Just sit and eat, ahem..."
After speaking, he immediately lifted one of her legs and suppressed it with his leg. It seemed that he was really afraid that she would run over to pour him some water. After that, he didn't intend to stop and even smiled at her provocatively, as if he was saying, "Humph, how dared you play a trick on me?"
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment and then wanted to struggle.
How could James let her break free? He used more strength, but would not hurt her.
Elizabeth struggled for a while, but it didn't work, so she stretched out the other leg to kick him.
James frowned slightly and gave her a warning look.
Elizabeth secretly pouted her lips, motioning to him to let go of her.
James coughed and raised his eyebrows, which meant that he wouldn't do that.
James raised his head in surprise and looked at Lydia. He couldn't believe what he had heard. How could she be so sure that he had kicked her? Obviously...
He managed to stop coughing. Was Lydia trying to choke him again?
John, who was sitting at the main seat, glanced at James and Elizabeth after hearing that. Then he said to Lydia calmly, "Don't sit in that seat in the future."
Hearing this, Elizabeth, who was originally happy, suddenly couldn't smile anymore and her face flushed. This... was super awkward!
James did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said to Lydia very seriously, "Mom, I think dad's words make sense."
Lydia pursed her lips and ignored him. She said to Elizabeth, who was eating silently with her head lowered, "Elizabeth, eat slowly."
Elizabeth didn't even dare to raise her head and answered in a hurry, but she ate faster and faster. At this moment, she just wanted to leave the dining table as soon as possible. She really felt so ashamed.
After eating, Elizabeth stood up and asked John and Lydia to enjoy their meals politely, and then left in a panic. Of course, before leaving, it was necessary to glare at James fiercely.
After Elizabeth left, Lydia said to James, "How can you bully my Elizabeth while eating? You're so annoying!"
James frowned and replied with dissatisfaction, "Hey, mom, can't you see how much we love each other? Did I bully her? However, since you hate me, we won't sleep here tonight."
Lydia got unpleasant when she heard that. She blinked her eyes and said, "Didn't you promise me that you would sleep here?"
In order to show that he was really unhappy, James put down his chopsticks and stood up, "I've changed my mind! So what?"
