There were only two days left before James's birthday.
Elizabeth called James in the morning and James said he couldn't come back. It was James's first birthday since they had been together. Elizabeth, however, cannot celebrate with him. She felt some regret in her heart.
After thinking for a whole day, Elizabeth had to turn to Lydia for help in the end.
She wanted to go to France to find James and to celebrate his birthday. She really felt that she had to do it, but...
"Tell me. What's the matter, Elizabeth?" Lydia, who had just finished her meal, was very satisfied. At this moment, she asked Elizabeth with a smile on her face.
"Mom, here's the thing..." Elizabeth touched her nose with embarrassment and held the hem of her clothes with one hand. She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "James' birthday was in two days. But he doesn't seem to be able to come back... So I think..."
Lydia immediately understood what Elizabeth wanted to say, "Do you want to go to France to celebrate Jimmy's birthday with him?"
"...Yeah."
"So that's it! Sure. Just go. I'm with you!" Lydia said, and even exaggeratedly clapped her hands, "Jimmy really has a good wife. He's in France on business, and you still want to go celebrate his birthday. I'm really happy that you have such a good relationship with him! When you go there, you can give him a surprise. You can hug him and kiss him, and then..." She said as she made a flying kiss.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"..." Elizabeth's little face turned slightly red. Looking at Lydia's movements, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Elizabeth was going to celebrate James's birthday, but she really didn't think about that thing, okay?
"Okay." Lydia nodded repeatedly, "Go ahead. When you get over there, if Jimmy tries harder, I may be about to have grandchildren." After that, she pushed Elizabeth out, "Come on, just go now!"
Elizabeth no longer thought about Lydia's words. Now the time was tight, so she had to say her own difficulties, "Mom, I don't have the passport and France visa. I always thought James would come back soon, so I never thought about going to him. Now even if I want to apply for it, it's too late..."
It was an exaggeration to say that she hadn't been abroad since she was a child. When her parents were still alive, they were too busy with their
business to travel with her. Later..There was no
one to accompany her.
It was because of this that she had never thought about applying the passport. Anyway, she thought that she would not go to a faraway place to travel for a while. Now that she suddenly wanted to go abroad, it became a problem for her to get a passport and a visa.
"Well?" The smile on Lydia's face froze, "So that's what you really want to say? It's unlucky. Your dad and Jimmy's plane was sent for maintenance and they haven't called yet."
Elizabeth nodded, and her face was full of confusion, "It seems that I can't go."
"Don't worry!" Lydia patted her on the shoulder, "We can handle it. Don't we have your father? Let John deal with it!" After saying this, she took Elizabeth's hand and went out.
