I Only Want You novel Chapter 710

James hung up with annoyance and didn't hand the phone to Elizabeth.

"Who is it?" Elizabeth chewed the apple while asking in a blurred voice.

Hearing this, James replied without thinking, "Oh, it's just a strange number. I guess it's something like promotion."

"Oh." Elizabeth nodded and didn't think too much.

Hearing this, Lydia said, "Alas! Now the Internet is developed, and we always receive such phone calls. I don't even know how they get our numbers. Sometimes I really feel it annoying."

James said in a light tone, "It's simple, isn't it? Sometimes when you make a registration or leave your number on some websites, they will take these numbers and sell to people in need."

"Your father said the same words to me." After that, Lydia said to Elizabeth, "Nowadays, the society is very complicated. There are many scams. If you receive such a phone call or text message and are asked to transfer money to them, just ignore them.

Understand?"

Elizabeth nodded, "Okay, I know, mom." She had indeed received such phone calls from unknown sellers, but she had never paid, talked to them. Moreover, at that time, she didn't have extra money. Even if she was fooled, she had no money to give the scammers. She lived a good life at this time, but she wouldn't pay attention to them, either.

Hearing this, Lydia immediately said, "However, sometimes it's funny to answer a phone call from a strange number."

James frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"It's true." Lydia shrugged her shoulders, "You know that I don't go to work. In my daily life, I either go to the beauty salon or play cards with my friends. Sometimes I want to go shopping, but your father always asks people to send the lastest clothes of each season to our house. I don't know what to buy even if I go out."

"Therefore." Lydia sighed, "I can't go to the beauty salon every day, and playing cards for a long time is boring. Your dad and I are not young people who are dating with each other, and we don't have much to talk about. Sometime, we go on a trip together. When he goes to play golf, I don't want to go with him. It's very tiring, isn't it? When he is at home, he either watches the news or trims the flowers and plants in the garden. I feel so bored."

"You have to go to work. At that time, Elizabeth hadn't married into our family yet. After you two got married, you seldom came back home. Sometimes when I received such a phone call, ha- ha, especially it was something about fraud and promoting, I could talk to them for a long time. I could not only kill my time by doing that, but also felt delighted."

Originally, James wanted to laugh at Lydia for being so childish, but when he heard what she said, he felt a little sad in heart.

Lydia didn't blame him, but he felt somewhat guilty when he saw her smiling face.

He was the only child in his family. He seldom accompanied Lydia when he was a student. After he begun to work, he became busier and had less time to stay with her.

The Lu family was in a high status, and they were never short of money. Lydia could buy everything she wanted with money. But no matter how rich she was, she couldn't buy the companionship of her relatives.

After a long while, James coughed lightly, "We will go back often in the future."

After James said that, Elizabeth said to Lydia apologetically, "Mom, I'm not going to school. \Ne can go shopping or chat together after I go home. If you don't want to go out, we can watch TV at home. By the way, don't you like watching soap operas very much? After I went home last time, I downloaded many new and popular soap operas. We can watch them together."

Hearing this, Lydia smiled and said, "Oh, I just said it casually. I don't mean anything else. However, I'm so glad that you will go back more often. Besides, Elizabeth, you will go back with me after you are discharged from the hospital. At that time, I don't have to be bored every day. However, after you give birth to the child, my house may become cheerless again. Maybe I won't get used to it for a long time."

Elizabeth wanted to say that they could live together, but she had not discussed it with James, and she knew that he liked quiet atmosphere, so she did not reply to Lydia's words.
