James had been staring at Kara’s hair since he got out of the car. In the end, he walked to her.
He tidied a few strands of her hair that were a little messy. He took off the hair clip and then put it back.
He wasn’t familiar with these movements, so he tried several times before making it.
He had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He couldn’t help.
Just now, when she was in the car, she had been chattering that she had to comb her hair because it was too hot, but the hair he cut for her was uneven in length.
It was not obvious when she wore her hair up. But when she wore her hair down, it seemed like he ruined her hairstyle.
Every time he wanted to take her to the barbershop to get a new haircut, she would shake her head, both hands covering her hair.
She even said righteously that this was a product of the president of the SA Group. It was exclusive to the world and she did not want to change her hairstyle.
Looking at her serious face, James was soft-hearted and didn’t insist.
When he suddenly heard her say that, he thought she wanted to run away halfway. He casually put a hand in his pocket and glanced at her coldly.
“If you can’t, then obediently climb up.”
“…”
Kara pouted her pink lips and could only give in.
When the few men standing at the side saw that James was actually tidying the little girl’s hair like a father, they were shocked.
But when they saw how obedient the little girl was in his arms, they were envious.
Most people being scolded by James would definitely get angry, but this little girl did not.
When he mocked her, she also fought back.
When she failed, she snorted angrily and snuggled into his arms, so cute that the others all felt envious.
“Nolan, Mr. James must be like this every day. Can you bear it?”
When being with Kara, James was so childish that Rory wanted to beat him up.
Nolan was already used to it. He looked at him indifferently.
“I’m used to it.”
“…”
When it came to climbing the mountain, there must be a competition to make it interesting.
Rory suggested that they form pairs. He and Will would form a team. Ayden had wanted to team up with Jamya, but she had said in advance that she would team up with Zoie.
Ayden could only team up with Nolan, leaving only Kara and James behind.
Among the eight people, Kara was the youngest, the shortest, and the weakest. She had been dawdling behind.
James wasn’t in a hurry and followed closely behind her.
Watching everyone climb up, Kara pursed her lips and glanced at the man.
“James, do you think we will lose?”
“Will there be prizes if we win?” James asked.
Rory, who was walking in the front, heard James’s words and laughed loudly.
“If the men win, they can make a request to the loser. If the lady wins, the loser will give them a set of cosmetics. The mountain climbing on a hot day will hurt their skin.”
That sounded unfair, but no one refuted it.
“Rory, if you lose, go bungee jumping,” James said.
There was a bungee jumping game field on the mountain, and Rory was afraid of heights.
“Why?” Rory was furious.
His face was slightly feminine.
His slanted eyes narrowed slightly as he pursed his rosy red lips in anger.
“James, don’t be too arrogant. You have a white elephant, but Will and I are strong enough. We will definitely win!”
“Don’t you dare to play?”
James couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. It would take more than three days to quarrel with Rory.
“Of course I do! Isn’t it just bungee jumping? Anyone who chickens out shall call others grandpa!”
Rory was really afraid of heights. Just imagining standing at a high place would freak him out.
But for the sake of face, he absolutely would not admit that he would be afraid!
“Then you’d better not be the first one to chicken out.” James mocked.
“…”
Seeing Rory so angry that he wanted to kick James away, the others tried their best to hold back their laughter.
If Rory really lost but didn’t dare to bungee jump, then he would call them grandpa.
James was the only one who dared to say such a joke. If Rory’s grandpa heard this, he might get angry and shoot them in the head.
Several generations of the Haynes family were soldiers, and Rory had been in a military school.
He was unwilling to be a soldier, so Zoie could only replace him, going to the military academy and joining the army in the future.
“Rory, don’t look for abuse. You can’t beat him. And he has a wife now. He is different from you…” Will tried to persuade him.
“What’s so great about having a wife? I just don’t want one. If I do, I can get as many as I want!”
Zoie pursed his lips and glanced at Rory. “If you dare, try it.”
Rory was speechless.
The Haynes family had a very strict family rule. If he didn’t take his relationship seriously, his grandpa would shoot him.
Everyone was in a good mood, and they talked all the way.
Soon, Kara was left behind. She was tired, her hands on her hips and sweating.
The weather was pretty good today, and the sunlight was not particularly harsh, but Kara felt so hot.
James took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her sweat. Without a word, he held her little hand and continued walking forward.
Ayden wanted to take pictures, so he deliberately stayed at the end. From time to time, he would find an angle to take a few pictures. Then, he saw the hands that were held together. He was touched and found a good angle to take a picture.
Although the two in the picture did not say a word, the two of them looked at each other, revealing their feelings.
The most difficult was to catch the eyes of the people when taking photos.
Through the eyes, one could see the soul of the people.
“Kara, do your best. I’m leaving first.”
“…”
Seeing Ayden walk forward in a carefree manner, Kara pulled a wry face.
He must have deliberately come to mock her!
“James, I’m so tired. I’m going to take a break.”
Kara stood still and casually found a stone to sit down on.
James’s breathing was steady. He opened his backpack and let her drink some water first.
They brought a thermos cup with them. She drank some water and finally felt a little better.
Looking at the high mountain, she felt her neck hurt.
‘Climbing a mountain was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.’ She thought.
“Kara, let’s play a game.”
Kara looked up at him.
James looked at the time on his watch and pointed to a small hill in front of him. “Twenty minutes. Walk to that small hill and I will give you a reward.”
“What reward?” Kara stood up, looking forward to it.
“If you want to know, then complete this game.” He walked forward.
“James, wait for me.” Kara raised her eyebrows and stopped delaying.
James stopped in his tracks. When she approached, he suddenly stopped her from moving forward. She blinked in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’ll take you to another road.”
“…”
His face was full of mystery. Kara followed him excitedly and found a path.
This path was blocked by many newly grown branches and leaves, so the people in front of them did not discover it.
