Chapter 877 - 885: Let’s Chat

Jane Sampson stood in the doorway, scratching the back of her head, hesitating. Should she go over and sit with James Black, or just head straight back to the bedroom?

Before Jane could make up her mind, James over there spoke up first.

His voice was cool as he said, "Come here."

"Oh," Jane opened her mouth and replied, then slowly made her way over.

As soon as she got close to him, James reached out, pulling her over to sit by his side. His right hand encircled her waist, his fingers gently pinched the flesh on her waist as if he loved it.

Jane, ticklish, giggled and squirmed a bit, eventually leaning into James’s arms, resting her head against his chest.

Her ear was very close to his heart, and just by resting there, she could feel the sound of his heartbeat.

Thud, thud.

It gradually blended with the sound of her own heartbeat.

Jane quietly squinted her eyes, the corners of her lips slightly lifting.

It was hard to believe that a person like James Black would admit he liked her, and even crazily so.

In her past life, they had been married for so long. She always pretended to be obedient to cater to his temperament, but until her death, she never saw any special affection from him for her.

After her rebirth, she stopped pretending, frequently angered him and provoked him, and now he liked her?

Isn’t that a bit strange?

Regardless, Jane couldn’t deny that when she heard James say he liked her, her heart felt very happy.

It was like secretly eating a spoonful of honey, sweet enough to nearly overflow.

Jane stealthily looked up at James; he always looked serious when watching the news, or rather, James seemed serious no matter what he was doing.

Whether it was reading a book or even washing clothes, it was the same.

Viewing him from his arms, she could clearly see each one of his eyelashes.

James was handsome, something Jane had known ever since she started developing her own sense of beauty.

If it wasn’t for his cold demeanor, just for his looks, many girls would have chased him around back in the great courtyard.

Yet, unfortunately, the good-looking man has a temperament that keeps people at a thousand miles distance.

After their engagement was set, the young and naive Jane hadn’t thought about getting closer to her fiance.

But unexpectedly, it was such a James Black who, in the end, actually came to like her, Jane Sampson?

Thinking about this, Jane got a feeling as if she were living a somewhat unreal life.

Jane watched James for a long time. Seeing that he showed no reaction as if he hadn’t noticed, her eyes craftily turned, and then, puckering her lips, she thought about sneaking a kiss on him.

To test what reaction James, who seemed upset and unwilling to bother with her, would have.

Unexpectedly, just as she was leaning in, having not yet touched James, he suddenly looked down and, beating her to it, kissed her on the lips.

However, it was just a peck on her lips before he pulled away.

But with just that one kiss, Jane knew that although James was angry, he was not terribly so.

There was still room to make an effort.

"James..." Jane tugged at his clothes, her voice pleading as she called out to James, "Can we talk for a bit?"

"I don’t want to talk to you right now," James coldly responded, then shifted his gaze back to the TV.
