Chapter 770 - 778: What to Say

James Black suddenly went silent and stopped talking, his gaze continued to drift over to the couple.

The wife had maintained a calm expression up until now, but it was the husband who, while talking to Alexander Forest, had gone to get a dessert. At this time, he was handing the dessert to his wife. However, from where James was sitting, he could see the wife shake her head, looking displeased.

Alexander Forest chuckled, "This woman is dieting, giving her such high-fat stuff to eat. Without saying a word, it would be surprising if she did eat it."

"Otherwise, what should be said?" James asked, "Giving it to her to eat, isn’t that a form of caring about her? Worrying that she may go hungry?"

"These two have no emotional foundation to begin with, and the affection between the husband and wife is not deep. In such a situation, him saying nothing and suddenly offering a dessert to his dieting wife, the woman will only feel disgust and annoyance. A more critical person might even get angry, thinking he did it on purpose."

Alexander Forest patted James Black’s shoulder and smiled, "Let this battle-hardened man teach you a trick: at such times, when you offer a woman a dessert and she says she’s dieting and won’t eat it, you should say, ’In my eyes, you are already beautiful. If you suffer because of dieting and go hungry, the one who feels heartbroken is me.’ Believe it or not, once you say this, the woman will immediately be moved."

"Smooth talker, slick and sly!" James expressed his complete disagreement with a snort and soon lost interest in the couple, turning around to leave the conference venue first.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Alexander Forest stood there rolling his eyes, then hurriedly caught up, calling out to James along the way, "How am I being smooth? This is just a way to start charming a woman. If every man in the world were like you or that guy, as indifferent as a piece of wood, then babies, that commodity in this world, would become extinct."

"What, you think you’ve made a great contribution to the procreation of the human race?" James waited for the bodyguard to open the car door and settled into the car, then sarcastically retorted at Alexander Forest.

"Hey, you, why is your mouth so poisonous?" Alexander Forest opened the car door and took his place in the driver’s seat, turning his head to James Black, who was seated in the rear seat, and retorted stubbornly, "James, don’t deny it, women are there to be cajoled, the more you cajole them, the more pleasing and intimate they become. If you think I’m wrong, then go ahead and sell that jade hairpin in your possession to Amber Edwards. Anyway, you don’t need to charm your little Jane."

"Drive your car," James replied, too lazy to continue engaging with Alexander Forest and simply closed his eyes to rest.

He hadn’t been out for very long, so by the time he got home, it would only be a little past 8 o’clock.

If they were to eat at that time, Jane Sampson wouldn’t be too hungry, right?

As someone who takes such good care of her stomach, if she really got hungry, she’d probably find some fruit or something to eat first, right?

Alexander Forest turned and thanked the two bodyguards, not asking them to continue driving him and James Black home, then he started the car and left the lane.

Along the way, James Black’s mind replays the incident with the couple he ran into when leaving the main venue, or rather, he replayed the words spoken by Alexander Forest.

Could it be that women around the world are lacking such a straightforward confession?

Are all the women in the world so lacking in insight?

What about Jane Sampson?

She should be an exception, right?

James Black asked himself this question in his heart, but after thinking it over, he shook his head again, secretly guessing that Jane Sampson was especially lacking in insight.
