Chapter 1058 - 1066: It Wasn’t Like This Before

Looking down, she was instantly petrified.

Two, four, six... ten!

There were precisely ten boxes of mini umbrellas lying in the head of the bed cabinet!

Jane almost suspected that when James Black said he had some errands to run before breakfast, those so-called errands were to go out and buy these gadgets!

She knew it, she just knew it!

The moment she saw the supermarket bag, she knew that James couldn’t have just gone in to buy her some snacks and ingredients; this guy must have bought other stuff!

But, she hadn’t expected him to buy so many in one go!

One box with three, ten boxes...

Thirty times!!!!

Jane shivered and bent down to scoop out the boxes, inspecting them from left to right. Not finding a trash can, she simply squatted down and dumped all the stuff in her arms under the bed!

When James came out of the restroom, what he saw was Jane throwing the things he had just bought into the space under the bed.

Although her back was turned to him, James could still sense her flustered frustration.

James wasn’t in a rush, nor was he angry. He just leaned against the wall at the doorway, a smile hooking his lips as he watched her sit there dumbfounded on the floor after she had finished throwing, then he spoke unhurriedly.

"If you don’t want to use them, it’s fine by me," James said, "The consequence of not using them is just having an extra child around the house."

Jane sat there, swallowing hard, then slowly turned her head to look back at the person behind her.

She wore a sulky expression as if bearing a great injustice.

After James finished speaking, he stood there gently smiling at the person sitting on the ground, a smile that carried a meaningful depth.

Jane didn’t know how to explain to James that it wasn’t the functionality of the mini umbrellas she despised—it was the quantity.

But...

Seeing James’s smile, which was in no way warm or friendly, Jane pursed her lips, turned back around, and lay on the floor, reaching under the bed to drag out one box at a time of the items she had just discarded.

Hmmph!

She was not happy!

Jane gathered one box after another and tossed them back onto the head of the bed cabinet. After a while, she sat up straight, counting the boxes in the bedhead cabinet drawer, then leaned back down to the floor, her hands searching under the bed once more.

A few seconds later, she stood up again, scratching her head, turned around, and looked at James, pointing her slender fingers underneath the bed, pouting, and murmuring, "I can’t reach the last two boxes~"

Having said that, with a somewhat mischievous intent, she dusted off her hands and stood up straight, "So~ if I can’t reach them, we’ll just forget about them, okay?"

Did James not know what she was up to with her little mental abacus clicking away?

"Get on the bed." James picked her up off the floor, bent down in the spot where Jane had been, and effortlessly picked up the remaining two boxes, placing them back in the head of the bed cabinet. Before closing it, he even took the time to neatly arrange the stuff inside.

Jane sat cross-legged on the bed, her face held in a grimace.

After a while, she said very seriously, "James Black, you’ve changed."

James raised his eyes to glance at Jane, "Hmm?"

"You weren’t like this before!" Jane accused loudly, "You used to have great self-control! We could meet once every three to five months before, and everything was fine with you. Why have you become like this now! You’re nothing like you were before! Give me back the old James Black!"
