When Elizabeth woke up, James had gone to work. She lay on the bed and looked at the things in the room, feeling a little happy.
Now she was really being together with James. They were in the same room or even a bed. This feeling was really good.
Thinking of she had made great progress in her relationship with James, she couldn't help laughing in the quilt. However, because of this action, she found that her whole body was sore and powerless.
"Er..."
In an instant, her joy just now turned into helplessness and madness. She had done this with him several times and thought that she had gotten used to it a little, but it seemed that she had underestimated James!
She lay on the bed for a while and then sat up with her sore body. On the bedside table, there was a note left by James. Elizabeth suddenly felt less angry when she saw what1 on it:
"Dear, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Just rest at home. I went to make pocket money for you. Your hubby."
Elizabeth pursed her lips and laughed. She couldn't help but roasted in her heart, "Pocket money? Considered the value of your order, I don't think I can spend so much pocket money." When immersed in happiness, she heard someone knocking on the door. Then, the voice of Jane, "Ms. Lu, are you up?"
Elizabeth was about to answer. But when she suddenly thought that she was still in James's room, she felt a little embarrassed and hesitated to answer, or pretend to sleep.
"Ms. Lu?"
Elizabeth had no choice now, she couldn't pretend to be asleep all the time. So she had to bite the bullet and answer, "I'm... getting up."
"Ms. Lu, do you want to have breakfast now? Before Mr. Lu went out, he asked me to cook porridge for you and remind you of having it when you woke up."
Elizabeth was afraid that Jane would suddenly come in. She pulled the quilt hard on her body and said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs later."
When Elizabeth heard Jane downstairs, she got up and casually change her clothes. After washing up, she opened the door and go out.
On the corner of the stairs, she took a deep breath and silently cheered herself up before taking the courage to go to the dining room.
"Ms. Lu, Mr. Lu said that you always wanted to drink porridge when you went out to travel. Since the weather is hot, I made mung bean porridge. I also made two dishes. You should like them."
"Thank you, Jane." Elizabeth sat down and was about to eat. Suddenly something occurred to her., "Did he have breakfast?"
Jane shook her head and said, "No, he just drank a cup of coffee."
Hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't help but frown.
She thought, if James was in front of her, she would definitely scold him. Before they employ Jane, she could let him have breakfast, but now he didn't even have breakfast.
"Okay, I know. Go and do your work, Jane."
"Okay, madam." Jane nodded. As soon as she turned around, she stopped again and turned back to look at Elizabeth hesitating for a long time. Then she tentatively asked, "Madam...?"
"Anything else?"
Jane smiled and asked, "Are you all right?"
Elizabeth was having porridge. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look at Jane in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Your healthy!" Jane pointed at her. "I was wondering why you slept in a separate room with Mr. Lu before. And Mr. Lu said that it was because you were in poor health. During that time, he even ordered me to make more body-nourishing food for you."
"..." Elizabeth finally swallow the porridge in her mouth. "Did he say that?"
Sleep in separate rooms? In poor health?
After thinking for a while, she finally understood James's "kind mind", and then she felt it was both funny and annoying.
So, that's why her every meal was light in the past period of time, and she was also served different kinds of soup every day.
Poor health? It must be difficult to make up such an "excellent" excuse.
"Yes." Jane nodded. "I saw move things for you yesterday. I really feel happy for you both!"
Jane was kind, and Elizabeth and James also treated her well. Of course, she would hope that both of them were good.
Elizabeth nodded with a shy smile. "Thank you, Jane."
"Never mind!" Jane waved her hand. "I'm very happy! You're young now, and there are some things that you may not understand. It's taboo to sleep separately between husband and wife. If this lasts too long, it's difficult to make sure which one of them changes his mind..."
As Jane said, she saw Elizabeth lowering her head to have porridge and did not speak. She smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't mean Mr. Lu. I saw how kind he was to you."
"I see." Elizabeth nodded. It was not good for her to say that before that. After they got married, they didn't...
