"It's..." Elizabeth pursed her lips, "Anyway, it's something very important to me."
"Very important?"
Elizabeth nodded, "Yep." After a few seconds, she whispered, "At least for me, it's very important."
She was too embarrassed to say it out.
In fact, it was something very important for both of them. However, after the quarrels and misunderstandings in the past few days, she suddenly felt that she couldn't say it out.
According to his character, she was afraid that he wouldn't want it anymore.
So, it was better not to tell him. She could find a chance and sneak back to get it.
"Okay."
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead."
"Well... I don't want to go back to school for the time being. Let's talk about it later. What do you think?"
James naturally knew why she said this, "Sure, as long as you're happy."
When they returned to Lu Mansion, Lydia was naturally delighted. Holding Elizabeth's hand, she talked a lot with her and asked her to have a good rest at home. John didn't show any dissatisfaction towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was finally relieved. She was very grateful that Lydia was not angry with her. Although she always said that she was framed, she was still worried that Lydia and John would think that she had disgraced the Lu family.
Fortunately, they didn't.
After dinner, James took Elizabeth to his room upstairs, "Honey, sleep for a while."
"I just had dinner. Why should I sleep so early?" Although she felt a little tired, she thought it would be impolite for her to sleep so early.
"Look at your dark eye circles! You should rest first!" After that, he blurted out as if he had completely guessed what she was thinking, "Don't worry, they won't say anything. You can sleep at ease. Okay?"
"But..."
"Don't say anything else. Just go to bed. Understand?"
It's too early now."
"It's okay if you don't want to sleep." James raised his eyebrows and said, "How about doing something else?"
"What?"
"Something that can help you fall asleep quickly." As he said this, he was about to unbutton her clothes.
Elizabeth immediately understood what he meant. She immediately shook her head, "Don't do that! I'll go to sleep." They were at mom and dad's house at this time... Tut-tut, it was better to go to sleep.
She washed up quickly and then lay on the bed.
James had been staying with her and didn't leave until she fell asleep.
She fell asleep in five minutes...
During the days when he was not with her, how long had she slept every day?
Looking at her deep dark eye circles, he closed his eyes, feeling so distressed and self-condemned in heart.
After staring at Elizabeth affectionately for a while, he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Then he turned around, went out, and closed the door lightly.
"Well." James nodded slightly, "I... must do this."
John was so angry but he laughed, "You must do this? Fine! If you have to do this, from now on, you won't have to go back here again!"
"Can't you listen to me finish my words first?"
"You don't take my words seriously. Do you think that I can listen to you?"
"The Wang family..."
After James gave a brief account of what had happened, John fell silent.
After a while, seeing that John didn't say anything, James said, "Dad, whether you agree with me or not, I've decided to do this. If you're not satisfied, you can give me a lesson after I finish it."
John raised his head, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Of course I agree with you! How can I not agree? The Wang family has gone too far! They actually dared to treat my daughter-in-law like that! If I don't teach them a lesson, they'll think that we can be bullied easily!"
James didn't expect John to have such an attitude. After being dumbfounded for a moment, he was overjoyed. Since John had agreed, he didn't need to worry about anything.
"Dad..."
John waved his hand, "Well, just do what you want. I support you. No matter how much money or energy you have to spend, go ahead!" After that, he snorted heavily, "They didn't learn a lesson last time, and now they are still thinking about framing our family. Since Lange can't teach his daughter well and his daughter framed Elizabeth again and again, he can't blame us for being ruthless!"
Humph! John was just so rich and protective towards his family. He would never allow anyone to bully his family members!
"Thank you, dad."
"There's no need to thank me. Hurry up and do it now!"
