Raising My Wife

Chapter 11 So Kind To Her

'It seems that I have been with James for a long time, so I won't feel uncomfortable, ' Lily thought. She

was eating quietly and looking at James up and down.

It seemed that James found Lily's looking. James looked at Lily with a frivolous expression. However,

having no time to take her eyesight back, Lily blushed. She was caught peeping at that time.

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, James said, "come to the study after you finish eating."

"What? Okay..." Lily quickened her pace of eating. Watching James's retreating figure, she speculated Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

why James had asked her to the study.

Within a few minutes, Lily went upstairs to the study. Standing outside the study, she knocked slightly.

"Come in." James's voice sounded calmly.

Lily pushed the door open and found that James was sitting at the desk with a Chinese text book in his

hand. She was startled at the sight of the book.

On the other hand, it seemed that James didn't notice Lily. He grabbed the phone on the table and

dialed the internal line. "Bill, take the things upstairs."

Seeing that James didn't respond to him, Lily stood still, not knowing what to do. Just when she was at

a loss, Bill came up with a chair, the same as the one in the study.

"Hello, Miss Lily." Looking at Lily standing in the study, Bill greeted respectfully, "Mr. James, I've

brought the things here."

"Put it here," James signaled Bill to put the chair next to him.

Bill was shocked. 'Mr. James's study is not a place that people could get in and out casually. It is really

surprising that Miss Lily could stay in Mr. James's study now. Moreover, Mr. James ordered me to make

a same chair for Miss Lily and put the chair in the study. It seems that Mr. James really cares Miss Lily.'

Bill's heart was full of ups and downs, but his face remained calm. He put the chair steadily next to

James.

"Mr. James, I'll leave here." Bill knew that James liked to be quiet, so he left after putting the chair

down.

James nodded and said, "come here, Lillias."

Lily walked towards the James obediently. There were only two of them in the study. Then James

called her full name again, Lily suddenly became nervous.

Seeing Lily clenching her fists, James sighed inwardly. He said in a milder voice, "Sit here."

Lily sat down obediently, lowering her head.

"Lillias, tell me, what are you afraid of?" James didn't plan to beat around the bush with her. He said

directly.

Hearing what James said, Lily felt wronged. It was James who scared her, but he still asked her. Lily

chose to remain silent.

In James's view, Lily's silence was no more than a silent resistance.

"Lillias, I don't know what's in your mind, but I take you home, I want to be responsible for you." said

James. James rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What I want is not your fear and flinch. Just be yourself

in this family. I will only say such words once. Do you understand?"

Lily raised her head and had a quick glimpse of James. Then she nodded, pretending to know

something.

"Lillias, you'll grow up sooner or later." James didn't treat Lily as a fifteen years old child. Instead,

James treated her as an adult.

'James must be a serious man, but he has treated me well enough, ' Lily thought.

"So, Lillias, you need to master all the high school knowledge in the following two months, and then go

to the university after two months."

'Finish study of the knowledge of three-years high school within two months?' Lily decided to take back

the thought that he was good to her.

Lily knew that James didn't like to be rejected, so she said yes. Before Lily could comfort herself, she

heard James speak again.

"I will check your homework every night. During this period, you should study on your own. I'll arrange a

teacher for you next week." James pushed the book towards Lily.

"What? Self-taught... You will check... Alas..." With twisted face, Lily was about to burst into tears.

Seeing the wretched look on Lily's face, James was amused. He wondered why he had treated her in

the same way as he treated an adult. Although Lily was 15 years old, she was still a child, so she put

all the emotions on her face.

As he thought of this, he softened his tone. "Carlos, don't be afraid. I'll be your side."

Lillias took the book. Hearing what James said, Lillias stopped and said, "I see" She changed her

previous depression and smiled at James, her eyes almost bent into a seam.

"Read the book." James turned his eyes away and didn't look at Lily anymore.

Lily started to read with her limited knowledge, she was no longer as absent-minded as herself in the

morning.

"I trust you. You should at least make a brief analysis of what you need to learn before the teacher

comes here." After saying that, James went back to his bedroom. He came home early and there were

still a lot of work to finish. James decided to work in his own room and leave the study to Lily.

After watching James leave, Lily fixed her eyes on the door for a long while. She shook his head and

went on reading, as if nothing had happened.

One liked serenity and didn't talk much, the other was shy and didn't talk. It was really boring for these

two people to get together. Although Lara was busy with her work downstairs, her attention was all on

the two people upstairs. Seeing Bill bring the chair to her, Lara was confused.

'Mr. James is very picky, and he is more cautious about the things he wants to use. Most of his

properties are customized according to his own preferences. The chair that Bill brought upstairs is the

same as the one in the study. It can be seen that it's not ordinary market procurement. It's estimated

that Mr. James must have asked someone to rush it out. It seems that Mr. James has put a lot of

thought into Miss Lily.'

Lara raised her hand and took a look at upstairs. She didn't tell her real thoughts to Bill. She liked Lily,

'It's not a bad thing that Mr. James treats Lily well.'

Lara went on with her work. When she finished, it had been a long time. Lara had been keeping an eye

on the movements upstairs, and had not seen Lily come back to her room. Noticing that it was late,

Lara decided to go upstairs and knock on James's door.

Lara knocked on the door for three times gently. Before the man inside answered, she opened her

mouth, "Mr. James, it's me. Lara."

A few seconds later, the door opened from inside. "What's up?" James said with a report in his hand.

"Mr. James, it's late now. Miss Lily hasn't been home for a long time. She isn't eager to read. What

about..." Lara stopped.

James closed the report in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "well, go get Lily back to her room.

And bring her a cup of warm milk. "

Lara nodded with a smile. "Oh, yeah. I'm going to do this right now." After saying that, Lara turned

around and went to the study. After taking two steps, she turned around and said to James, who was

about to close the door, "Mr. James, you are so kind to Miss Lily."

Hearing Lara's words, James answered and stopped his hand, which was about to close the door,

"Yes, I'm good to her. I should be good to her."
