"Well, you are right. Uncle is also your father. Although he doesn't talk too much, he is very kind." Although Elizabeth was not John's biological child, Xavier believed that John would treat her very well.
"I know." Elizabeth nodded, "Dad and mom are very good to me. I always have a feeling that they regard me as their own child."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile, "Sebastian, you know what? Sometimes James is dissatisfied. He said that mom and dad treat me better than him, and he even lost his temper like a child."
When Xavier heard this, he also smiled, "He just said so, but he wouldn't really think so in heart. He has
a sharp tongue, but a tender heart. Maybe he is the happiest one to see uncle and aunt treat you like that."
"Hmm?" Elizabeth asked, "He's the happiest one?" Why?
Xavier sighed, "Although I have not got married, I heard a lot and know some about marriage. Many women don't get along very well with their parents- in- law after getting married. As time goes by, they quarrel more and more frequently. A husband has to face the conflict between his parents and wife, and he won't feel good. Do you think this kind of life is nice?"
Elizabeth shook her head, "Of course not." A family should live together happily.
"Therefore, isn't it good for you to get along with each other like this? Jimmy loves you, and uncle and aunt are very nice to you. Our family is lively and harmonious, and everyone is delighted. Moreover... you had been alone for so many years. Your parents left you a long time ago. Now you have parents and a family. Everyone treats you well and you have more people to love you, so Jimmy must be happy."
"Mm." Elizabeth nodded, "You're right. However, speaking of this, it's because I'm so lucky that I met them."
"Perhaps." Xavier said, "Maybe it's their good luck."
"Your words are so sweet!"
Xavier smiled and stopped talking about this topic, "Originally... I was planning that if no one could walk on the red carpet with you, I would be the one."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned. Xavier naturally saw Elizabeth's expression. He explained, "I mean, in the case that no one could walk with you. After all, I am... your friend and your brother."
He had really thought about it on the plane when he came back from Zena's house.
He felt that it was a good idea. After all, the relationship between them was far beyond that of an elder brother and a sister-in-law, wasn't it?
However...
"Oh... I see."
"However, since uncle can walk on the red carpet with you, you don't need me. Actually, uncle is the most suitable person."
"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, "I also think it's good."
"Alright." Xavier said with a smile, "I came here because I wanted to tell you these. Now, I have to go out and greet the guests."
"Okay, go ahead. Moreover, thank you for coming to see me." Elizabeth thought for a moment and added, "Thank you for telling me about that. In fact, compared with your painting, the fact that you have disentangled yourself from the past is the best gift James and I have received today."
"Mm, I'll go out first."
Although Xavier said so, he did not really turn around and go out. Instead, he stood in the same place and stared at Elizabeth with hesitation.
Elizabeth was a little confused, "What's wrong, Sebastian?"
"Well..." Xavier hesitated and did not know how to say it.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Elizabeth asked.
Xavier shook his head slightly. Two seconds later, he nodded.
Seeing him shake his head and nod, Elizabeth really didn't understand what he meant, "If you want to say something else, just say it. It's okay." After speaking, she laughed mischievously, "If this is your secret, but you really want to tell me, I will definitely keep it a secret for you after hearing it."
