"That's almost all I can remember." Elizabeth smiled. She didn't feel sad, but smiled gently, "I was very young at that time. Mom and dad were always not at home, and many years have passed, so I can't remember much about them."
After hearing Elizabeth's soft words, James was no longer randy, and he didn't feel hot anymore.
He reached out and held Elizabeth's hand, "Those are all happy memories, and it's so good."
"That's right."
"Do you miss them?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment, "At first, I missed them so much. Every time I thought about them, I cried. After so many years, I have grown up, but I still miss them sometimes. In the past, when I lived alone and especially when I suffered from grievances or had difficulties in my life, I missed them very much."
"At that time, I thought that if my mother was alive, she would definitely comfort me very gently, and my dad would tell me patiently
that he would always support me."
"So, I was saddest every time I encountered difficulties. I was obviously very unhappy, and I felt more aggrieved when I thought that I had no parents. No one helped me or comforted me."
"Everything is better now. I've grown up and learned to deal with a lot of things by myself, so I don't think I'm pitiful."
When she said these words, James had been looking at her, and his heart ached for her.
He hugged her more tightly and patted her on the back, "I arrived in your life so late. But it doesn't matter. In the future, I will always be by your side and try my best to make you happy every day. Maybe even if I try my best, you will still have some unpleasant moments. However, I can assure you that if you are unhappy, wronged, and sad, you can tell me about it and I will comfort you, advice you, give you my shoulder to rely on and hug you at any time, just like..."
Saying this, he hugged her with more strength, "Just like now."
Elizabeth's eyes were brimming with tears. She was so moved that her whole body was warm, "Mm."
She said this in a crying tone. Although she buried her face in his arms, James knew that she must be crying.
He sighed lightly, thinking that she would cry more sadly if he continued to comfort her.
He quickly made up his mind and pretended to be unaware of her tears, "Hey, didn't you ask me why I am so happy today? I haven't answered you yet. Do you want to know it?"
After a few seconds, Elizabeth nodded gently.
"Listen carefully. I think it's funny. If you don't hear it clearly, I won't say it again."
"Okay."
James looked at Elizabeth in his arms and smiled lightly, "Didn't I go to the company today? Samuel told me about his troubles."
Hearing that it was something about Samuel, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. She didn't look up but asked in a muffled voice, "What happened to him?"
"He has a girlfriend, doesn't he? But... his future father-in-law doesn't seem to like him."
"Then what should he do?" Elizabeth wiped her tears on James's clothes, raised her head and sniffed, "Samuel must be very anxious, right?"
"Yep! He cried in front of me. You don't know how cowardly he was."
James exaggerated, but Elizabeth did not know that he was talking nonsense. She said very seriously, "It seems that he likes that girl very much."
