On summer nights there were full of stars.
James was worried that it was too cool when the night wind blew. So he untied his robe and pulled Kara into his arms.
He was tall and strong. His sleeping robe was so loose that there was no problem at all wrapping her up.
Kara put herself in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat and looking up at the stars in the sky.
“James, you did something wrong.”
“What?”
James rested his chin on Kara’s shoulder and rubbed his head against her neck after Kara’s words.
James hadn’t washed up yet, nor did the shaving work. The stubble that had just appeared made Kara uncomfortable.
Kara was tickled by him. She laughed to avoid him and raised her hands to surrender.
“You smoked.”
Kara felt the smell from James’ body. Because James lost his sense of taste, he kept cigarettes and alcohol away, as well as anything pungent-smelling.
“Do you mind it?”
James knew how to smoke, but he only occasionally took several cigarettes when he was in a bad mood.
“No. I remember that my dad didn’t smoke often. I saw it a few times. Although I didn’t ask him about it, I knew that he was no doubt thinking about my mom who passed away.”
Kara turned around and touched the stubble on his chin. It was a bit rough, but she was playing with it quite happily.
“James, do you miss your mother too?”
“Yes.”
In a few days, it would be the death anniversary of his mother.
“Well, then I’ll accompany you to memorize her.”
Kara didn’t know how to comfort James, so she raised her head and kissed his lower jaw.
She was not good at telling lovely stories to comfort him. Instead, Kara just wanted to accompany him.
In the night, the brilliant light behind them shone on them both, showing their shadows on the ground.
James stared at Kara, and only then did he notice that Kara was only wearing his black shirt. The shirt was long enough to be dressed up like a one-piece on her.
The shirt was only buttoned up to a few buttons. She leaned against his chest, revealing half of her shoulders without any awareness.
James could not control Adam’s apple, and he felt his desire. The blue veins on his hands that were holding the railing stood out.
Kara felt that James’ body was tense and she touched his cheek.
“James, did you catch a cold?”
Just now, they spent a warm time together, and she did not think about anything else.
James grabbed Kara’s lovey busy hands and armed her slender waist with one hand to stop her hands from moving.
“Kara, let’s talk about something.”
“What?”
Kara found the burning fire in his brown eyes and felt a little scared.
“Let’s practice in advance for tomorrow’s morning exercise.”
“No, I…”
Kara was stopped by his kiss. He carried her back to the room.
Kara woke up in the afternoon.
She could not speak well at the moment.
Kara went downstairs and saw Libby staring at her belly. Kara felt weird and frowned.
“Libby, what are you looking at?”
Libby quickly came back to her senses. She found Kara blushed. Not only did Kara sleep for a long time, but she also became chubby. Libby doubted that Kara might be pregnant.
“Miss Kara, you have to take care now.”
“What?”
Libby thought that Kara was too young and might not understand it. So Libby patiently explained it to her.
“Miss Kara, you have to take care a lot in the future. For example, you can’t eat some kinds of fruits later.”
When Kara heard that she could not eat some kinds of fruits, she immediately pursed her lips and became depressed.
Libby kept silent.
She looked at Kara’s expression and paused.
“Miss Kara, please hurry up to get ready and send Mr. James his lunch. Nolan just called. If you don’t send it over, Mr. James will have nothing for lunch.”
Kara gave no reply and wrinkled her nose to show her dissatisfaction.
The annoying James had made her exhausted in the morning and would even give her such a job in the afternoon.
What a bad habit of the boss! A boss would always send others to work.
Kara first drank some porridge to fill her stomach and then went upstairs to get dressed up. When she went downstairs again, Libby handed her the prepared lunch.
“Miss Kara, you are responsible for feeding Mr. James. Good luck!”
Kara was speechless.
Kara paused for a second and put on a faint smile.
James was simply a starving wolf. How could she say no to this task?
Indeed, there was no chance for her to refuse it.
Kara complained secretly, but she could not help trying to fill James’ stomach.
Mason had already fired the car and waited for her. After Kara got in the car, Mason was stopped just as the car left the villa.
“What’s the matter, Mason?” Kara saw the car being stopped and looked ahead in confusion.
However, she did not expect to see Adam sitting in a wheelchair. Kara pursed her lips and waited for Adam to approach before getting out of the car.
“Uncle Adam, do you come here for me?”
“We came all the way here. It’s obvious that we come for you.”
Before Adam opened his mouth, Rose, who was pushing the wheelchair, showed her deep jealousy from her eyes.
Now Kara was leading a happy life. She looked well and even got a little chubby.
“Rose, shut up!” Adam shouted at Rose.
Rose was unhappy to be scolded. She had no way but to keep silent when thinking about the purpose they came for.
Adam felt guilty and did not dare to look into Kara’s eyes.
“Kara, I’m sorry. It was our fault back then.”
Kara heard his sincere tone and listened to him seriously.
“My legs are crippled, and it is the heavy price I have to pay, but I don’t blame it on you.
“As the only male in our family, I cannot earn money and have to spend money now. It is my fault. Linda is at an elder age and can’t make much money even if she finds a job out. Rose is now pregnant and we have to raise our baby.
“Can you show your sympathy with me and lend me a hundred thousand to help me overcome this difficulty?”
When Rose heard the figure Adam mentioned, she immediately argued.
“Adam, my parents agreed that I would only give birth to our baby as long as you give them five hundred thousand!”
Kara frowned and glanced indifferently at Rose.
“Uncle Adam, thank you for not blaming me. However, it doesn’t mean that I won’t hate you!
“All those things you did back then couldn’t be forgiven by me even when you apologized.”
Kara slowly loosened her clenched fists and calmly looked at Adam.
“Uncle Adam, if no one came to save me back then, I might be dead now. It is useless for you to say sorry to me.”
Adam stared at Kara in a daze. He was regretful now, but it was of no use.
‘James sent someone to make me crippled, is it of any use if anyone tells me to feel at ease and not in fear of James?’ Adam thought.
‘Obviously not.’
“I have already handed over the matter of the Quain Group to someone else, so I don’t have much money. You asked for a hundred thousand. Uncle Adam, you apologized to me just because you wanted to get benefits from me.
“Your apology is worthless to me!”
Kara gave her worlds clearly and turned around to leave.
Kara got out of the car to talk to Adam only because it was inconvenient for him to move his legs and she showed him respect.
But if Adam wanted to tell her that they were family members, Kara would ignore his words. Adam wanted too much and she couldn’t afford it!
