"Elizabeth, look at you. I almost can't recognize you." Lydia looked at the picture on Elizabeth's mobile phone and sighed with a smile.
Hearing this, Elizabeth smiled with embarrassment, "Mom, it's because I put on make-up."
As soon as they returned home, Lydia asked them about the wedding photos and wanted to have a look. While Elizabeth was hesitating whether she should tell Lydia that she had taken pictures of herself, James told Lydia directly.
That was why Lydia said so.
"My stupid child, of course I know you put on make- up. I just want to say that you're so pretty." Lydia held the phone and didn't want to let go of it, "Look at you! I know that you're beautiful, but look at you... I've never seen you put on make- up before. Today, seeing your photos, I'm really pleasantly surprised."
"Ahem!" James coughed, "Mom, don't you think you're exaggerated?" Although he said so, he smiled brightly.
Lydia snorted, "I'm telling the truth. Don't you think Elizabeth looks so charming in this way?"
"I didn't say that she was ugly."
"You!" Lydia glared at James discontentedly, "You are really lucky. Elizabeth is so goodlooking and so obedient, but she actually married you."
"Fortunately, you're my mother. If you're a man, I'll think you're jealous."
Hearing this, Lydia burst into laughter, "What nonsense are you talking about?" After that, she took Elizabeth's mobile phone and ran to John, "Look at your daughter-in-law. She is gorgeous, isn't she?"
John looked at the photo calmly and then nodded, "Yeah." He knew what Elizabeth looked like. They went to take wedding photos. Wouldn't she be better-looking after putting on make-up?
"You think so, don't you?" Lydia said very excitedly, "Me too."
Seeing Lydia acting like a child, John couldn't help coughing.
Lydia didn't pay attention to his movement. She looked at him with a smile and asked, "Who is prettier? Elizabeth or me?"
As soon as she asked this, the three people in the living room were all taken aback.
Elizabeth didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she knew Lydia's character quite well after getting along with her for a long time. At this time, she even felt that Lydia was cute.
James raised his eyebrows helplessly and then looked at John as if he was watching a good show. This kind of question... ha- ha! John would offend Lydia or Elizabeth if he didn't answer it properly.
John sighed. He did not look at James and Elizabeth, but only looked at Lydia. He seemed to be complaining with his eyes.
"Say it, John. I'm asking you." Lydia said with a smile.
"Well!" John smiled, "You're both goodlooking." Lydia was his wife, and Elizabeth was his daughter-in-law. They were both his family, and they were both in front of him. Although such an answer was too general, it was the best answer.
James smiled faintly. He knew that John would answer like this.
Hearing this, Lydia looked at John with a helpless face, "How can you be so perfunctory? Is it hard to answer this question? You can only choose one. It's very easy to choose, right? Huh?" Saying this, she blinked her eyes at John, and what she meant was quite obvious.
John had no choice but to say patiently, "You're not the same type as Elizabeth. You know that everyone has his own advantages, and..."
