Raising My Wife

Chapter 36 His Responsibility

The room was in dead silence.

Raising the glass, James said in a soft but powerful voice, "are you here to talk nonsense and to take

this opportunity to taste my wine?"

Sean was stunned. He smiled. He has been coveting James' wine for a long time. Sean had his own

Private wine cellar, but he always felt that the wine that James collected was the best. As long as he

opened a bottle, the mellow and time would fall into his nostrils. So as soon as he arrived, he went to

find a bottle of wine in the lounge.

He leaned closer and took a sniff. "You knew I would come. I was just following your instructions."

Then, James turned to Sean and said, "Now, I'll give you freedom. The conflict between the Ling Group

and the Billion Point will be more and more serious. Not just this piece of land, but I want the two

companies to be in total confrontation."

Sean took a sip of wine and said, "I can't see it clearly. The Billion Point and the Ling Group are all

yours. We wanted to tackle the people behind it, but from the beginning, we pushed the Billion Point to

a high point, leaving it against the other companies. Now the Ling Group becomes its opponent again."

James watched the wine ripple slightly in his hand and chuckled, in the most contemptuous way.

"When the snipe and the clam fought, the fisherman got the prize. Now the fisherman is a coward, so I

give the clam to the fisherman myself. And I had to make this clam really attractive, so the fisherman

had to show up."

Sean nodded. Actually, he couldn't stop James from getting involved. What he could do was to obey

James and cooperate with James' arrangement.

"When you get out of the gate today, you have to insinuate the reporter that Billion Point is sure to buy

this land, and the Ling Group will close."

"I can't believe that we will turn against each other one day in our relationship."

"Sean, I can only trust you. I'd rather take a risk. Don't let me down."

Suddenly, Sean felt that the burden on his shoulder had become heavy. He smiled and raised his head

to drink the wine. "I'm afraid that in the future, I won't even have the chance to go with a bottle of wine."

The light in James' eyes dimmed.

Without saying anything more, Sean gave a smile, and tidied his clothes. He walked to the door, with

his back against James, and said with determination, "James, after this is over, invite me to drink the

most expensive bottle of your collection." Then, he left without looking back.

He turned his back to him with determination and no regret.

Watching Sean' receding figure, James had mixed feelings. If possible, he would not ask his friends to

go with him. If possible, he would bear the responsibility alone. However, not everything will be as he

wishes. He lowered his head to look at the tie on his chest, with something incomprehensible in his

eyes.

He raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in his glass.

'Sean, I hope that we can drink together the most expensive wine in the future.' He thought.

After putting down the wine glass, James turned around to look out the French window. Outside the

window was the vast sky, and below was the busy street. Everyone was focused on his own life, and

each of them had their own responsibilities and obligation.

This was a fight between James and himself.

While Lily was at home, she was thinking about why James was unhappy this morning. She had done

some research on the Internet. It was said that a man needed to be coaxed to get through his period.

Just thinking of her period would inevitably upset herself, and it was understandable for James to be

like this. 'During my menstrual period, Lara cooked me many delicious food, red dates and so on. Why

don't I give some to James as well? Maybe he will be happier if he eat them all.' Lily thought.

Lily came to the kitchen to persuade Lara to go back to her room. Then she began to try making red

dates and black rice porridge according to the Internet. 'It's easy, ' she thought.

Lily boiled the water and began to boil the black rice It took a long time to develop a soft and thick taste

for a black rice. Then she washed the date and cut it in half, removing the red dates' core one by one.

Stir the black rice gently and then stew it with small fire to let each of them have a full sense of the

temperature.

After a few hours, she finally cooked the black rice and then mixed it with red dates, and cooked it

slowly for a long time.

Lara cooked the dinner. The porridge made by Lily was ready. Before the porridge was cold, she added

some sugar into the porridge. A sweet porridge was the most delightful.

When the dinner was over, James still didn't come back. Lily poured a bowl of porridge, and put it on

the table in the living room. She sat on the sofa, waiting for him. Seeing that, Lara tried to talk her out of

it, but she didn't give up. She had intended to ask him if it was his period that made him so angry this

morning.

After waiting for a while, Lily fell asleep on the sofa. Lara covered a blanket on her and went out to wait

for Mr. James.

Finally, when the finger of the clock pointed to ten, James came back.

"Mr. James," Lara greeted as she took the briefcase from his hand.

"Why are you standing here, where is Lily?" James planned to go inside.

"Mr. James, Miss Lillias made porridge for you. She had been cooking porridge for hours, and she

intended to wait for you to come back. She was probably tired, so she lay down on the sofa for a while

and fell asleep. Lara knew that James pity Lily, so was she.

James didn't stop but walked into the house directly, but lighter than usual.

Looking at the little girl lying on the couch, James' heart was almost melted. He doesn't know since

when the original repay for her has become a mood influenced by her. He want to know everything she

does. Every minute and every second, he wanted to participate.

The girl's face softened, as if she were in a quiet dream. It was unknown whether she dreamed of him

or not.

He raised his hand and wanted to touch her face, but he was afraid that he would wake her up. But on

second thought, Lily was so sound asleep that she might have been carried away without even

knowing it.

Thinking that he couldn't let her sleep here, he smiled and decided to get her back to her own room.

He picked up Lily and took her back to her room. Sure enough, Lily' showed no signs of waking up.

She was even comforted by James' hug, which was warm and reliable. She was familiar with him.

She even didn't know he had taken her away. James sighed again.

He walked quietly to the room, tucked her in, drew the curtains, turn on the air conditioner and set the

temperature before going out. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Maybe he had really raised a daughter.

He shook his head with a smile and went downstairs quietly. When he came back, the smile on his face

was more than before, which was totally different from the cold man he used to be in the company.
