"You even know how to make tea now?" Isaac couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he saw James making tea expertly.
James handed the teacup to Isaac, "Because I'm so bored at home. I just need to deal with some emergencies or particularly important affairs in the company. Elizabeth spends much more time on sleeping than talking to me. I really don't know what to do, and I can only smoke secretly. Otherwise, my mom will scold me if she sees me smoking. So... I learnt how to make tea. In this way, I can have something to do and won't feel bored. I can not only kill time but also... cultivate my mind."
"Come on!" Isaac snorted, "Cultivate your mind? Stop kidding."
"Just forget it if you don't believe me." James did not argue with him, "By the way, why did you suddenly come here today? Aren't you busy these days?"
"Not very busy. I came to visit Elizabeth and to see you by the way."
"Don't bring anything when you come here next time. You don't need to be so polite to me."
"I didn't buy it for you."
James curled his lips, "I know."
"By the way, how's your wedding going? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No." James shook his head, "My mom is preparing for it. Even I don't need to do anything, let alone you. Of course, if I prepare the wedding on my own, maybe you could help me."
Isaac smiled, "Aunt is really considerate."
"You're right, but sometimes I can't bear to see her exhausted look after she comes back home. I told her not to do it, but she didn't listen to me."
"They have nothing to do all day, right? Since they can do something for you, especially prepare the wedding for you, even if she is tired, she must be pleasant in heart."
James nodded, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Isaac, "Stop talking about me. What about you?"
Isaac raised his head, "Me? What's wrong?"
"How's your preparation going?"
"You mean the engagement ceremony? I don't need to worry about it." After saying this, Isaac smiled, "For me... it's actually just a springboard, and I don't care about it. Whether it's grand or simple, it's means no difference to me."
James was silent for a moment, and then just nodded lightly.
He had tried to persuade Isaac before. However... Isaac had made up his mind. As his good friend, all he could do was to support him behind his back. If necessary, he would do his best to help him.
"But, I'm a little helpless recently."
"What happened?"
"The woman Maxwell arranged for me seems to be interested in me." After that, Isaac laughed mockingly, "It's so annoying."
"You're not bad. It's understandable for her to like you, isn't it? Moreover, you're about to get married. As your fiancee, it's not surprising that she likes you, is it?"
"But it's a burden to me." Isaac sighed, "You know that I don't like her. I just want to get engaged to her so that Maxwell will be more at ease. I hope that she and I can be busy with our own affairs and not disturb each other."
Thinking of what had happened two days ago, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't want to have a complicated relationship with that woman.
"Your thoughts are too simple." James shrugged his shoulders, "How about... trying to accept her? Perhaps you will find that she is actually not bad."
Isaac didn't reply to him. He just glanced at James blandly with a frown.
Seeing this, James spread his hands, "Alright! If you don't want to, forget what I said just now."
