James sat on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows when he saw the little woman staring at the soup in the insulation cup with sparkling eyes.
“James, it smells so good. You try it.”
Kara scooped a spoonful of soup and tasted it herself. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment as if she was drinking the nectar.
“Wow, James, the taste is great. You should drink some too.”
Kara placed the spoon to his lips. James frowned slightly, but he did not reject it.
After drinking one spoon, he thought it was tasteless.
However, when he saw her enjoying it so much, he endured the feeling of nausea and drank a few more mouthfuls.
Kara saw him frown, and her thin eyebrows also furrowed.
She pursed her lips and pondered for a few seconds. Then she put down the spoon and walked to him.
James allowed her to sit casually on his lap. Kara held his handsome face with one hand and stroked his stubbled cheek with another. She felt a little itchy in her palm.
She raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips. “James, will you be disgusted if I kiss you?”
James’s brown eyes were deep and cold. His gaze was complicated as he scratched her earlobe and asked coldly.
“What do you think?”
If he felt disgusted, would he let her touch him?
“What about this?”
Kara kissed his lips again. While thinking about how James kissed her before, she boldly stuck out her tongue into his mouth.
James unceremoniously turned around, held the back of her head, and wrapped his hand around her body as if she was his favorite sweet candy and he wanted to swallow it in one single bite.
“Oh…”
Kara usually liked to kiss James, but when he kissed her, she always felt that it awakened the lion in his heart. He was so hungry and his kiss was simply too aggressive.
She panted for a while before she could calm down. She then touched his stubble again and asked nervously.
“Are you still feeling sick?”
“The dessert you served me tastes pretty good.”
He tapped the tip of her nose, his voice a little husky but full of temptation.
Kara blinked and waited for a while. Noticing that he really did not show any expression of disgust, she gave a wide smile.
“James, that’s great. Drink more to fill your stomach. Otherwise, you will still feel uncomfortable.”
“I prefer dessert.” James wrapped his arms around her, refusing to let her leave.
“Don’t be naughty. Let’s drink the soup first.”
James felt that it sounded familiar. In the past, when she was being unreasonable, this was how he lectured her.
James didn’t let go, and Kara didn’t dare to lose her temper at him, so she sat on his lap and let him drink the rest of the soup.
James was also stubborn. After drinking the soup, he didn’t even wipe his mouth as he pressed the back of her head and kissed her mouth.
He was not a phubber and didn’t like playing games, but he was a total workaholic. Now he indulged in kissing her and treated it as one of the entertainments.
She smiled so he wanted to kiss her.
She acted coquettishly and he wanted to kiss her.
She cried and he only wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her hard.
James did not throw up again. After he took the medicine, he felt a little dizzy, and he coerced Kara to stay with him while he went to sleep.
He had not slept well for the past few days, and when he closed his eyes, he could always see a female corpse covered by her coat.
Although he knew that it was not Kara, he was still afraid and would have nightmares.
In the nightmare, the dead woman was her. His heart palpitated. When he woke up, he found himself crying.
He was so happy that she was alive.
Kara also hadn’t slept well these past few days. She watched him grab her wrist tightly and she had to lie beside him.
“Be good and sleep.” She crooned.
“Fine!”
James sneered and pinched her nose with contempt, but he still closed his eyes.
After Will walked in, he found that the porridge and soup had been eaten, so did the medicine, and he was finally relieved.
Given James’s health condition, if he didn’t take the medicine, Will would give him glucose drips.
Now Kara’s company ameliorated the situation a lot.
Suddenly, the man on the bed sensed that someone was looking at him. He opened his sharp and brown eyes.
As if the Wolf King’s territory was invaded, James narrowed his eyes and prepared to attack.
Even if this man was sick and weak, the cold and scary aura emanated from his body was still powerful enough to frighten anyone.
Will shivered from his stare and quickly explained, “I just came over to check. I have no other intentions. I will leave now.”
After Will left, James withdrew his gaze.
Only then did the hostility exuded from his body dissipate. His gaze softened as he stared at the little woman next to him.
Since the two had reconciled, it was impossible for James to let her go back to her previous ward.
Now if she was out of his sight for a few minutes, James would tense up and look furious. Even Nolan, his loyal subordinate, could not stand his fierce eyes.
Kara just went to the toilet, not being kidnapped by someone, and his eyes were so menacing that they could tear someone apart.
Nolan really wanted to leave now, but he still had work to do.
“Mr. James, your grandma heard that you were sick and came to visit you.”
James frowned. He had told everyone to keep their mouth shut. How could his grandma know that he was sick?
Nolan was helpless. From the moment Mr. James was hospitalized, he had started to block the news.
However, Mr. James had not gone to work for a few days nor stayed in the villa, which would certainly arouse Zoey’s suspicion. Thus, it was not difficult for her to find out that James was in the hospital.
James got up from the bed, walked to the couch, put his long fingers to his lips, and recalled what Jordon said.
His long, bony fingers gracefully fell on the table and tapped rhythmically.
Nolan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and stared at James’ fingertips, wondering who would be the unlucky guy.
“How is Jenny?”
James asked coldly.
“She was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with AIDS. Originally, I wanted to mislead the doctor. Now I don’t have to do it because she got it herself.
“She probably got it from the group of men that hooked up with.
“She was locked up in the quarantine area. The Bullock family did not take her home and gave the hospital some money. It’s obvious that they gave her up.
“Now she has gone crazy now, but no one knew if she was pretending it. The hospital didn’t want to take her in, so they could only send her to the asylum.
“The Bullock family was suing Davis. Knowing that Davis was involved in the scandal, Savion seized the opportunity and wanted to expel Davis from the board to get the management power of the Marshall Group. However, it was opposed by Jordon.
“In order to train Karden as the predecessor, Jordon had personally gone to the Marshall Group and took back the management power.”
“The management power, well, they were just grasping at the straws,” James sneered.
“Yes.” Nolan nodded and continued to speak.
“Karden is just a high school student. Although he was enrolled in University A, he was an impetuous and soft person. He is also incompetent yet arrogant. This kind of person can’t achieve great things.”
If Karden was someone who could achieve great things, he would not have been misguided by Ronin’s words and went to find trouble with Kara.
If Donald hadn’t been there last time, the four boys would have done terrible things to Kara.
Therefore, Mr. James would never let this Karden go unpunished.
However, there was always order in dealing with things, and the big one should come first.
“Since Savion wants to usurp, you should help him. Oh, by the way, you must tell him that I allowed it.”
James’s mouth curled into a disdainful sneer. He picked up a knife and started peeling an apple.
“Nolan, go and find out where Quentin and Keely live. We are going to the Hemmings’ to spend the Middle Autumn Festive this year!”
Nolan was surprised and gawked at James, not knowing what James wanted to do.
But since Mr. James gave the order, he would definitely carry it out.
