Elizabeth felt a little helpless, but she couldn't say anything.
However, even if she didn't say it, it didn't mean that she didn't understand John, did it?
James did everything for her own good, and John did everything for Lydia, didn't he? He accompanied her, followed her, and even cared about her just because he loved her. He was afraid that she would feel lonely or be wronged in another city. Besides, no matter how delicious the food outside was, it was actually not as good as the food cooked at home.
"Mom." After a long while, Elizabeth said, "In fact... dad did it for your own good."
"Uh..." Lydia was rendered speechless and felt a little embarrassed. She thought that she had really lost her face and her image seemed to have been ruined in an instant.
That was really an unwise move.
Why did she say something like that without thinking? Didn't she give herself a slap in the face?
However, she thought that she was a generous person, so she would not be angry with Elizabeth. Moreover, what Elizabeth said was true. No matter how mad she was and who she was angry with, she couldn't be mad with Elizabeth, could she?
"Ha-ha, I was talking ironically." Lydia gave a dry laugh, "You are such a simple child."
The implication was that Elizabeth took whatever she said seriously.
Elizabeth was amused and also thought that Lydia was cute. She smiled, showing her tacit agreement to Lydia's words.
Lydia immediately forgot about it. In just two seconds, she held Elizabeth's arm very intimately as if Elizabeth was her close friend, "Elizabeth, now... we've come out. Do you want to... huh?" As she said this, she smirked, "Be naughty?"
"What?"
Lydia pointed to the small store, "I mean, we can eat something we like. In fact, I was once pregnant and I understand your feelings now. Naturally, you must be tired of eating at home now, right? So, since we've come out, why don't we eat whatever we like?"
To tell the truth, Elizabeth was very moved. She vaguely felt that the aroma of the snacks seemed to be getting richer and richer, and she kept swallowing.
If she could eat it... it would be great!
She was moved, but her sense had not been dulled completely...
"But, if dad or James knows it..." They would really get into trouble. Especially James, even if he would not scold her, he would definitely be very angry.
"Oh! Why do you think so much? Let's just do what we want today. As for what will happen later, you don't have to worry about it."
"Well..."
"Stop hesitating. Look at you! You're salivating. Your dad is so fierce but I'm not afraid of him, not to mention brat Jimmy. Can't you give him a lesson? Don't worry. Even if he dares to be angry with you, I'll stand by your side. If he dares to criticize you, I promise that I'll drive him out of my house."
