Raising My Wife novel Chapter 43

It was a nice dark night.

They both saw themselves in each other's eyes. The surroundings were too quiet, as if there were only them in the world.

"I'm sorry," said James apologetically. "Too many things have happened in the company recently, so I didn't have time to have a meal with you. I'm taking you here today. Do you like it?"

Time did not leave any trace on James's face, and he always gave people the impression of neat and elegant. But recently, Lily could see the cyan color in his eyes, and saw blood streaks appearing in his eyes from time to time. Sometimes, Lily could even see that as soon as he came back and sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples wearily.

Therefore, she knew that James was busy and didn't have time to worry about her. She could understand that Lily had been trying to stay low in the past few days so that he wouldn't be distracted by her.

It was only a normal and reasonable matter. But now James apologized to her sincerely, which surprised the Lily very much. But she quickly hid her surprise and looked back at James. Her eyebrows were crooked as she said, "it's very beautiful here. I like it very much. Thank you for bringing me here."

Although there was a faint expression on James's face, he stretched out his long arm naturally and exchanged his cut steak with the plate in front of Lily. It was like that of the day Lily came.

"If you like it, I can take you here whenever I have time." As James went on cutting the steak.

Lily see these in her eyes. Now she had learned how to use the knife and the fork, but James still treated her the same. Watching James cut the steak in an elegant manner, Lily's heart fluctuated.

Perhaps sometimes a person fell in love with somebody was not because that person treated you very well, but because that person was always nice to you from beginning to end, and that person would not change because of time, place, or identity. Such kindness was just like warm water, without much passion, but always tolerated you, accompanied you to grow into the best person.

"Eat it." After James finished cutting the steak, he looked at the plate on the table. Seeing Lily's not eating, he reminded her.

Obediently, Lily began to eat. After a mouthful, she found no sound from James. She looked up at him in confusion, only to find that he was holding a glass of wine.

Was he drinking?

Lily immediately looked at the glass at her hand. As expected, it was a glass of juice. Lily thought 'I'm an adult. We eat Western food together, but one is drinking red wine and another one is drinking juice? 'Isn't it the normal way that they should drink and talk, and then get closer to each other?'

'Yet, he still treated me as a child.' Lily was a little discouraged, turning to look at James.

"You will have class and you should drink juice." Only by a glance, did he understand what words Lily wanted to say.

"Saturday tomorrow! No class! " Lily made every effort to persuade him.

"You want to drink?" James shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Well... I didn't..." Lily hesitated. Sweet juice was actually a good choice.

"Eat something first." James didn't argue with her over this question anymore. He put down the glass and began to eat with Lily.

Lily was familiar with James like this. Quiet and glowing, he was the kind of man who shone with charm no matter what he did. Lily lowered her head and continued to eat.
