"You..." Elizabeth looked at James at the door with surprise all over her face, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back this morning?" If it weren't for that John and Lydia were still around, Elizabeth really wanted to rush up and hug him.
"Yes." James smiled and nodded at her.
Lydia nudged Elizabeth with her elbow at this time, "What a silly girl! This kid wants to give you a surprise." After that, she looked at James, "Am I right, Jimmy?"
James raised his eyebrows, "Lydia, you're getting smarter and smarter."
In fact, he was supposed to be working there for another week. But James had been away for over twenty days and he really missed Elizabeth. Especially the other day, Lydia told him that Elizabeth was preparing a birthday gift for him.
James wanted to see Elizabeth, and also wanted to receive her birthday gift personally. Therefore, he had to go ahead of schedule and finally come back today.
He looked at the suitcase in John's hand and asked again, "Where are you going with this? It's late."
"Oh!" Lydia asked John to put down the suitcase, and then said, "It's your birthday soon. Elizabeth said that you won't come back, and she's going to France to celebrate your birthday." Elizabeth wanted to accompany him to celebrate his birthday in a hurry. But now that Lydia told James directly, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Jimmy, it's so good that you could come back early, don't you think so?" With this, she looked meaningfully at James, who had nothing in his hands, and blinked at him.
James naturally knew what Lydia was trying to say, "It's in my car."
Lydia nodded with satisfaction. Then she took the car key from him, and then ran out like a gust of wind.
John pointed to the suitcase on the ground, "Pack up your wife's stuff by yourself." Then he went to the living room and continued to watch his financial news.
Now, Elizabeth and James were still standing in the same place. Looking at Elizabeth for a while, James smiled and crooked his finger at her, "Come here!"
Elizabeth turned around to make sure that John would not see them. Then she squinted at him and ran up to him.
"My goodness! It's so lovely! I am so happy!"
Elizabeth was about to throw herself into James's arms when Lydia suddenly rushed in from outside. Lydia had something in her hand and was talking excitedly to them.
Elizabeth looked at James and smiled awkwardly. Then she stepped back a little.
"Jimmy, I've been in love with this bag for a long time! I love you so much!1' As Lydia said this, she put the bag in her hand in front of her mouth and kissed it several times, "I also love this bag so much!"
James was not in a good mood since he didn't hold his wife. Looking at the bag in Lydia's hand, he frowned and said in a calm voice, "Sorry, this is my wife's. It's not yours!"
"What!" Lydia was stunned and felt that she had been poured a bucket of cold water on her head. In an instant, she felt so sad, "It's... It's not mine?"
James just slightly raised his lips, which indicated the truth of her words.
Lydia tightly held the bag in her hand, with a bitter face. After struggling for a long time, Lydia took a step forward and put the bag into Elizabeth's hand, "Your husband bought it for you!"
"..." Elizabeth looked at Lydia's tearful face, "Mom, how about..."
Before Elizabeth could finish her words, James snorted and said, "Don't say that. It's yours. Don't give it to her!"
