The burning desire was slaked and the warmth lingered on Kara’s skin.
Kara narrowed her eyes, lost in her reverie.
She couldn’t stop thinking about his strong body and his enchanting face.
He was charming when he was out of control last night.
Kara swooned and also lost control.
What was the use of being rational when they craved for each other so much?
However, in reality, being reasonable was more realistic than emotional.
The next day, when Kara got up, she felt as if her waist was broken, and gasped in pain.
And James, who came back from the gym, was refreshed.
He had just taken a shower, and the bathrobe on his body was loose. He looked towering when standing by the bed.
With an indifferent look on his handsome, he looked at Kara, as if this had nothing to do with him. Kara was so annoyed that she kicked the quilt.
However, the kick made her feel sorer from last night. She frowned and bit her lips angrily.
“James, it hurts.”
James pinched his forehead. He had his wake-up speech for her ready, but she was already awake and what she said startled him.
James took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer of the nightstand, sat down by the bed, and lifted the quilt.
“I’m not injured. What are you doing?”
Kara was puzzled and naked. She grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself up in it.
“Weren’t you saying it hurts? I’m going to apply medicine for you.”
“Apply the medicine?”
Kara tilted her head and stared at the medicine bottle in his hand. As she thought of which part of her body hurt, her face flushed red.
With her messy and fluffy hair, Kara looked like a kitten that hadn’t yet learned to tidy itself.
“No!”
“Stupid girl, stop messing around. Come here!”
James raised his voice and his tone was serious.
Kara pouted and shrank back.
James stared at her, a hint of warning in his eyes.
“Then put down the medicine. I … I will handle it myself.”
She kept her head down, her eyes dodging and her arms hugging the quilt.
James didn’t want to waste his breath. He got up and pounced on her, grabbed her arms, and pressed down on her. Then he lifted the quilt and applied the medicine.
“No, James, cover your eyes!”
Kara was shy and her body skin turned reddish after she struggled just now. She covered her face and hid in the quilt.
“I’ve seen every part of you. Besides, I’m applying medicine, not doing other things to you.”
James gave a wicked smile and explained thoughtfully.
He was indeed checking her condition. Last night, he was in a bad mood and wanted a crazy night with her.
Kara was soft-tempered, so he got his way after saying some sweet words. She would do whatever James said.
James hurt her because he was greedy and aggressive at that time.
James had carefully explored every part of Kara’s body, so he did not think too much when applying the medicine.
James was shocked to find the red marks on her legs, as well as some nasty love bites. He looked down and coughed lightly.
Then James took some more medicine and applied it to her.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yes.”
Kara pouted pitifully.
Fascinated by Kara’s perfect body and good looks, James couldn’t help himself last night.
Her entire body was covered with those marks.
Feeling a little guilty, James kissed her lips and carried her to wash up. Then he dressed Kara.
“James, I’m not a cripple. If I act like a spoiled child, you’re going to let me do as I please, right?”
In the beginning, Kara liked to nestle in his arms like a child, but that was only for fun. She didn’t expect James to go so far to dress her. Kara shook her head and wanted to do it herself.
Still feeling guilty, James didn’t make things difficult for her. He let go and went to find a comb.
The clothes were picked by James. Kara looked cute and fashionable in the pink lace top and the light blue pants.
“James, you will be a good father, if we have a daughter.”
James gently combed her soft, silky hair to avoid hurting her.
“Will I?”
James didn’t know if he would be so patient with his daughter. He used to be impatient and had a new understanding of his patience until he met Kara.
“Of course. You can help our child dress and comb her hair. James, no, Uncle James, you still take me as a child.”
“Stand still and don’t shake your head. I’ll comb it for you. You do the braiding,” James said coldly.
James was taller than her, so it was easy for him to comb her hair.
Kara made a face and stood upright.
Her hair differed in length and it looked bad when it was streaming loose. So Kara gave himself a simple hairstyle.
They changed their clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast. Libby was going to the supermarket. Kara thought that it would be fun and wanted to go with her.
James could tell from the look of anticipation on Kara’s face that she wanted to learn. So he told Mason to follow Kara.
Kara left the villa. James sat on the sofa and looked at his phone. He always felt that the villa was empty and got a little upset.
James got up and went to the study to talk with Nolan about work.
“Mr. James, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.” Nolan could not help but remind him.
“So?”
James flipped through the documents and glanced at him indifferently, waiting for his answer.
“Mr. James, I want a holiday like other workers.”
Nolan was depressed. He already worked his ass off, standing by 24/7 all the year round, because James never took a rest.
The problem was that James already had gotten married while Nolan was struggling to find a girlfriend.
“Do you mean that you are going to hang out with someone?” James mocked as he closed the document he had just finished reading.
“If you want to have fun, you can go on a business trip next month. You will travel to twelve countries in total. You can schedule it yourself and make sure it will be done in 15 days. I’ll need the data table and the actual management situation of those places.”
Nolan was lost for words.
With a straight face, Nolan acted as if he had heard nothing.
‘Branches in 12 countries? I can’t finish the job unless I become a super robot?’ Nolan thought.
“What? Do you have other ideas?” James asked.
“Mr. James.”
Nolan tried to appeal. Although he was alone and the global business trip wouldn’t upset anyone, it was a physically impossible job for him.
“It seems that you like jobs of this kind very much. You should join next month’s review. There will be several international meetings that need people to attend. I wish you a pleasant trip, Nolan.”
James gave a faint and friendly smile.
…
Nolan’s face contorted with despair. He really wanted to slap himself in the face and hated himself for talking too much.
Even though Nolan hated those tasks, he couldn’t slack off in the slightest.
After finishing some urgent documents, James would rest for two days. He went downstairs and saw Kara, who had just returned from the supermarket. She was learning from Libby in the kitchen.
Libby made a table of dishes. They all sat at the table and had lunch in advance. Then they hurried to the Hemming’s.
When Kara got into the living room, the Hemming family was already waiting. Kara turned to stare at James next to her.
James was expressionless since he had got off.
Anyone who met his eyes would be scared by the coldness inside.
The joyous vibe in the living room disappeared from the moment James and Kara arrived.
“Kara, come sit next to me.”
James’ cold aura frightened Zoey, so Zoey shifted her attention to Kara, hoping to find a breakthrough.
