As soon as the final exam of the semester came, the winter vacation was coming.
At that time, Quincy hadn't had the chance to play with Lily for a whole day. Her parents called her back. She didn't want to go back to her home at first, but her mother told her, "if I can't see you in one day, I'll come to pick you up myself." that year, when she remembered the fear she had been dominated by her mother, she said goodbye to Lily without hesitation. She packed her luggage, went back home as soon as possible.
After sending away Quincy, Lily felt a little bored at home alone.
"Miss Lillias, Mr. James wants you to travel to Australia. What do you think?" Zelda was an easy-going person. He was easy to get along with. Except what he had to obey, he said to Lily in a casual tone.
Lily thought for a while and asked, "did I go with him?"
"I'm sure Mr. James doesn't have time. It's almost the end of the year, and he is even busier." Seeing that Lily's expression turned frustrated, he quickly added, "but Mr. James arranged a best guide for you. Besides, you're going to Australia, so you don't have to be so cold."
Lily shook her head. He wanted her to go to a strange place. Even it was a good place, she would not go.
Looking at Lily's refusal, Zelda sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything and left in a short while.
He drove away from the villa and headed for the Ling Group. A few minutes later, Zelda called James.
"Mr. James, I've asked Miss Lillias, but she won't go." Zelda reported Lily's answer to James.
After a moment of silence, James said, "well, it's expected. This year, you go to America on my behalf. "
"What?" Zelda braked hard and couldn't believe what James said. "Mr. James, I know how important it is. I don't think I'm qualified."
"It's okay. Go ahead." James hung up the phone.
Zelda sat in the car and didn't start the car for a long time.
Every year, James would go to America for work. Once there was a holiday there, he would go abroad. He never let others to do. Zelda didn't dare to take the responsibility. It was neither because he was afraid of work, nor because he was afraid of being unable to reunite with his family. Instead, it was because he was afraid that he would screw things up and let him down.
Is it because of Miss Lillias. Zelda guessed. This was the first year that Mr. James had spent with her. He was sure to be there. Zelda could tell how much he cared about her.
Zelda guessed correctly. That was exactly what James thought.
Ever since he came back from abroad, he had spent every Spring Festival in the United States. For his goal, he had never stopped, but now the presence of Lillias forced him to stop.
Seeing this, James couldn't help laughing. He slightly pulled up his sleeve and looked at the bracelet on his wrist. At the same time, he felt that he had done a good job and he wouldn't regret it.
But Lily didn't know that. After Zelda left, she didn't take the matter of going to Australia seriously.
These days, Lily had spare some time for learning all kinds of pastries from Lara, and she was likely to inherit Lara's cooking skills. After Luke finished his work, he occasionally came to the villa to visit his parents. For several times, he came to the villa and met Lily making cakes. He only took over the rest of the defective goods. But Lily kept saying that she was returning his benefactor. 'Did I not realize that it was a failed work?' Luke thought. Luke smiled.
Carpets were all over the floor. There were all kinds of puppets, changing comfortable positions, Lily indulging herself in the interesting books. The heating in the room was good as well as the weather outside. Under such a comfortable environment, she felt tired after taking a long look and soon fell asleep.
When James was off duty, he was told by Lara that Lily had been in her room all day. He planned to go to her room to have a look.
He gently knocked on the door, but no one answered. He opened the door and found her sleeping on the ground.
He smiled. With the cold outside, he picked up Lily and intended to put her on the bed. Otherwise, she would catch a cold or feel sore all over her body if she fell asleep on the ground.
Picking up Lily, he froze for a moment and laughed again. He put her on the bed and tucked her in. After staring at her for a while, he left the room.
After closing Lily's door, James smiled again.
'well, forget it. Just pretend that I didn't see her rolling eyes.'.
Just now he held her up. Although she was awake, she still kept pretending to be asleep. Although she closed her eyes, her eyeballs were still rolling. He would not expose her.
Alas, what else could he do?
This cute girl.
