Raising My Wife

Chapter 43 Celebrate The Christmas With Her (Part Two)

It was a nice dark night.

They both saw themselves in each other's eyes. The surroundings were too quiet, as if there were only

them in the world.

"I'm sorry," said James apologetically. "Too many things have happened in the company recently, so I

didn't have time to have a meal with you. I'm taking you here today. Do you like it?"

Time did not leave any trace on James's face, and he always gave people the impression of neat and

elegant. But recently, Lily could see the cyan color in his eyes, and saw blood streaks appearing in his

eyes from time to time. Sometimes, Lily could even see that as soon as he came back and sat on the

sofa, rubbing his temples wearily.

Therefore, she knew that James was busy and didn't have time to worry about her. She could

understand that Lily had been trying to stay low in the past few days so that he wouldn't be distracted

by her.

It was only a normal and reasonable matter. But now James apologized to her sincerely, which

surprised the Lily very much. But she quickly hid her surprise and looked back at James. Her eyebrows

were crooked as she said, "it's very beautiful here. I like it very much. Thank you for bringing me here."

Although there was a faint expression on James's face, he stretched out his long arm naturally and

exchanged his cut steak with the plate in front of Lily. It was like that of the day Lily came.

"If you like it, I can take you here whenever I have time." As James went on cutting the steak.

Lily see these in her eyes. Now she had learned how to use the knife and the fork, but James still

treated her the same. Watching James cut the steak in an elegant manner, Lily's heart fluctuated.

Perhaps sometimes a person fell in love with somebody was not because that person treated you very

well, but because that person was always nice to you from beginning to end, and that person would not

change because of time, place, or identity. Such kindness was just like warm water, without much

passion, but always tolerated you, accompanied you to grow into the best person.

"Eat it." After James finished cutting the steak, he looked at the plate on the table. Seeing Lily's not

eating, he reminded her.

Obediently, Lily began to eat. After a mouthful, she found no sound from James. She looked up at him

in confusion, only to find that he was holding a glass of wine.

Was he drinking?

Lily immediately looked at the glass at her hand. As expected, it was a glass of juice. Lily thought 'I'm

an adult. We eat Western food together, but one is drinking red wine and another one is drinking juice?

'Isn't it the normal way that they should drink and talk, and then get closer to each other?'

'Yet, he still treated me as a child.' Lily was a little discouraged, turning to look at James.

"You will have class and you should drink juice." Only by a glance, did he understand what words Lily

wanted to say.

"Saturday tomorrow! No class! " Lily made every effort to persuade him.

"You want to drink?" James shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Well... I didn't..." Lily hesitated. Sweet juice was actually a good choice.

"Eat something first." James didn't argue with her over this question anymore. He put down the glass

and began to eat with Lily.

Lily was familiar with James like this. Quiet and glowing, he was the kind of man who shone with charm

no matter what he did. Lily lowered her head and continued to eat.

It was quiet except for the occasional sound of tableware.

They finished their dinner after a while.

Because she just ate some hot food and with the abundant heater, Lily blushed. Lily was a beautiful

Christmas Eve girl with fair skin surrounded by a blush.

"Have you had a good time at school recently?" In fact, James knew about Lily's situation. There were

always people reporting to him about Lily's situation in school. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"It's great. I have many friends. It's great." Lily lied to him. Actually, she only had a friend whose name

was Quincy. But she didn't want James to be bothered by her, so it was normal for her to lie to him in

this way.

James didn't debunk her lie. "If you have anything to tell me, just let me know. I'll arrange it."

"Okay, I know." Lily said with a smile. He put his hands down and put them into the pockets of his

clothes.

What? What's that?

Ah! Lily remembered that it was the bracelet for James! When the class was over in the afternoon, she

took it out of her bag, thinking that she should buy a delicate box outside the school and send it to

James as a gift, so that she could not be so embarrassed. But she forgot it after she called Quincy after

school. She did not remember it in the car as she came here. And it turned out to be like this.

The atmosphere between them had been harmonious at first, but when Lily began to think about the

bracelet, she suddenly became extremely anxious and upset.

She didn't know whether she should give it to him or not. 'If I don't give it to him, but James has taken

me here to eat. It's such a beautiful place. I will be very sorry if I haven't taken any action to show my

gratitude, ' she thought. However, compared to the dreamlike and beautiful scenery here, the bracelet

she knitted looked very poor. It would be embarrassed for Lily to let James see it.

After thinking for a long time, Lily still didn't get a suitable answer, and her hands began to sweat

slightly.

"It's late. Let's go home." James stood up and took his own coat and Lily's. He took Lily's clothes to

make her easy to wear. James put his own coat on until Lily finished wearing hers. James had never

done such things before, which was really surprising.

Lily didn't even notice this. Since James had fixed it for her, she decided to put it on. She was thinking

about the bracelet in her pocket.

After dressing up, James saw that Lily didn't have any interest in enjoying the night view anymore, so

he led Lily to the elevator.

Lily followed James into the elevator, her brows furrowed deeply. It was difficult for her to make a

decision now.

Watching the number on the elevator keep decreasing, Lily became restless, which was of a sharp

contrast to the calm James on the side.

When James arrived at the living room, many people bowed to him and greeted, and the large amount

of people scared Lily.

A gust of cold air swept over Lily's faces as soon as she left the living room behind James. The warmth

in the room instantly vanished, and Lily began to shiver. But, it was this sudden coldness that made Lily

sober in a moment.

'What am I doing? Don't I prepare it for a long time just to give it to him? What am I struggling with?'

"Wait!" Lily used her voice to stop James.

James turned around and looked at Lily. There was no expression on his face, but it seemed that stars

had been in his eyes.
