Raising My Wife

Chapter 53 I Am Here

A few days later, the new year was around the corner. James had shifted his focus of work from the

company to his home.

Lily was reading a comic book in her own bedroom, while James was working in his study. Neither of

them got involved in each other's business. It was quiet. Only during the meal time, the two people

would communicate with each other. They were both familiar with the atmosphere.

On that day, visitors disturbed the quiet room. It was James' parents who came to visit. Not only did

they come, they also brought a lot of gifts.

As a result, both Lily and James came to the living room. James and Lily sat on the couch, while his

parents sat opposite them. They seemed to have negotiated in a business world.

The tea table in the living room was originally big, but after putting the gift there, it looked a little small.

The table was full of presents, but they didn't make her happy at all. Looking at the various wrapped

gifts on it, Lily was even a little scared and tried to hide herself on the sofa.

The four people were in a stalemate. It was Shirley who spoke first, "hem... We came here to visit her

today and bring her some gifts. I don't know if she will like them. "

James took a sip of tea and replied coldly, "she's fine. Nothing else." The implication was that he had

prepared everything for her.

Shirley glared at James and said, "of course it's not the same! Is it a problem of shortage! You brat! "

As a matter of fact, Jonathan was still mad at James, but he couldn't stand Shirley's threats and

persuasion. Finally, he had to accompany her to the mall and buy gifts for the girl. He also had the

patience to see the girl with Shirley, but he failed. Later, he blew up like a balloon.

"James Ling..."Frowning, Jonathan said in a low voice. However, he sounded aggressive.

Lily couldn't help but get nervous as soon as she heard his voice.

"Don't be so rude to him. There is a child here." Shirley hurried to stop Jonathan from breaking out.

She didn't want any conflict between the father and the son to happen again, nor did she want to

frighten the nervous child in front of her.

"What's the matter?" James didn't plan to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He was

very busy and didn't have time to say anything meaningless to his parents. He believed that Lily would

not get used to such an atmosphere.

"Don't say that! Why can't we come here? I really don't know who your personality takes after. If it is

your father, at least he still cares his family, how about you! " Shirley looked at the girl's fair complexion

and thought that James might not have time to take her out.

James didn't reply. As he glanced around, he found that Lily's body had become stiff and his heart had

softened. Without thinking, he put his hand on her back and comforted her softly, "it's all right. I'm here

with you."

Hearing James' words, Lily realized that the old couple didn't mean to do anything else. Her heart was

in her chest, but at least she wasn't as nervous as before.

Looking at the interaction between the two, Shirley was very surprised. They had been together for so

many years, and James had never comforted anyone. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes this time,

she would have thought that he didn't care about anything. But she was right. Kids were growing up

now. It was natural for them to be in a good relationship.

Lily sat there quietly and looked quite adorable. Seeing her like that, Shirley liked her even more.

She softened her voice and said to Lily in front of her, "you are Lillias, right?"

Lily nodded and said in a low voice, "yes, I'm Lillias."

"Good girl! Do you like these gifts? They are for you. " Looking at the gifts on the table, Jonathan

bought them together with her. She had found a shopping counselor and bought them after consulting. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

All the gifts were what Lily would like for her age group.

Gazing at the gifts on the table, Lily didn't know why they wanted to buy her gifts, but she was grateful.

"Thank you. I like them very much."

"Humph, you said you like it even without looking at it." Jonathan found that unlike other children, this

girl was not obsessed with presents. He was a little surprised at Lily's reaction of estrangement and

politeness.

"There is no need to waste time. I will reward her with anything she wants." Just when Lily felt

embarrassed, James opened his mouth.

"All right, all right. "Shirley worried that they would quarrel again. "It's okay as long as the child likes it.

Lily, take them back to your room later. You can unwrap them slowly, I'm sure you'll like it."

Lily was flattered and forgot to answer.

"The main reason your father and I are here today is to tell you that we are going to spend the Chinese

New Year together and that you are going to take Lily home and introduce her to the family on New

Year's Eve. Now that you are still at home before the New Year, don't refuse me anymore. If you don't

go back to the Ling Family, we can pack up here to celebrate the New Year with you!"

James didn't want to make a scene during the Spring Festival. But he was afraid that his mother would

come over.

Not giving him a chance to refuse, Shirley continued, "I've asked Lara. Luke is back and they'll

celebrate the Spring Festival together. There's no one else here except you and Lily. Who's the cook?

Besides, there are only two people for the Spring Festival, which is really cold. Besides, your father

also wants you to go back home to celebrate the New Year with him. I'm so happy to see you celebrate

the New Year with our family, "

As Jonathan was about to say "I don't want it", his wife stopped him from making eye contact with him.

"I can take her out." James didn't think it was a big deal. It was okay for him to have lunch or travel

during the Spring Festival. He may not insist on going back to the Ling Family.

"You bastard! You have various reasons whatever I tell you! Anyway, if I didn't see her on the New

Year's Eve, I would pick her up myself. " Shirley didn't want to talk to him anymore. She grabbed

Jonathan's hand and said, "let's go home."

Lily looked at the complicated situation and didn't know what to do.

"Lily, we're going." Although Shirley was angry with James, it had nothing to do with the child. Shirley

said goodbye to Lily before going out with Jonathan.

After they left, it was quiet again in the room.

Sitting on the couch, James looked at the things on the table and had a headache. If he took her

abroad now, they wouldn't need to deal with them. He thought for a while and decided to let it go.

On the other hand, Lily looked worried, not knowing what to do

If you like it, I'll ask Lara to send it to your room later. If you don't like it, I'll handle it for you. " After

finishing his words, James went upstairs and continued to work in the study.

Lily was left alone in the living room, struggling in mind.
