Kara only stopped crying after a while. Then, she stared at him seriously with her big eyes.
“James, kiss me.”
James combed her hair with his fingers, staring at her.
Seeing that she was about to cry again, he lowered his head and kissed her soft and moist pink lips, although he had some misgivings in his heart.
Kara hugged his neck and wrapped herself around him, whispering in his ear.
“James, I want you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she tore his bathrobe and reached her little hand in.
James frowned and grabbed her little hand.
“Kara, stop messing around.”
“I am not messing around. I am your wife. You don’t want to have sex with me?”
Kara sobbed, her soft voice trembling, tears still hanging from her long eyelashes.
“No, Kara, be patient. Wait until I get this matter clear.”
He was very patient and rational, analyzing this matter with her.
He heard it from Corey only. There wasn’t any evidence.
“No, I don’t want to wait.”
Kara wrapped her legs around his waist. She could see that he was turned on, yet his face remained calm.
“James, you want me too, don’t you?”
Her breath lingered on his neck. He swallowed his saliva, his Adam’s apple rolling.
Couldn’t control it anymore, he turned around with her in his arms and leaned against the wall with one hand protecting her.
“Kara, stop messing around.”
His deep voice was hoarse and full of magnetism.
Kara wrinkled her nose, staring at him with infatuation.
“I’m not messing around. I just want you to prove that you want me and that you want to be with me.”
She sounded calm. Yet to him, there was another message.
James narrowed his cold eyes as he stared at her delicate face.
Kara was the only one he wanted.
Taking her back to the bed, he placed his elbow on one side of her and rubbed his long fingers against her pink lips.
“Kara, call me by my name.”
“James.”
“Call again.”
“James, James…”
James kissed her on the ears.
“Kara, you are mine.”
The low voice was too charming. It made her blush and tremble.
Sex was human instinct.
It was a game that didn’t require rules.
James was strong. He had been building his body.
He liked to hear her call his name softly. Her voice was like a rope that locked him on her. He wouldn’t mind dying on her.
…
The next day, Kara, who was on the bed, shrank her shoulders and reached out for the blanket.
She did not find the blanket, nor the man beside her.
She frowned and got up. Then she found the blanket on the ground by her. She picked it up and put on her clothes.
She walked to the window and found it was raining.
She looked at the time. It was past nine. She quickly went to wash up and go downstairs.
Today was the weekend. James didn’t have to go to work. But she didn’t see him downstairs, nor in the study.
She felt uneasy and ran downstairs in a hurry.
“Libby, do you know where James went?”
Libby shook her head, thinking, ‘Why would he tell me where he went? I am just a servant.’
Kara frowned. He called him, but his phone was turned off.
‘Why did he turn off his phone?’
She quickly called Nolan. Nolan asked, “Miss Kara, what’s the matter?”
“Uncle Nolan, I called James, but he didn’t answer. Do you know where he is?”
“…”
“Uncle Nolan, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Kara grabbed the corner of her clothes with her hands, her face pale. She had a very bad feeling.
“Miss Kara, Mr. James suddenly received an urgent task this morning. He should be on the plane right now.”
“…”
He went abroad!
Kara leaned weakly against the wall. After hanging up, she stared at her phone in a daze.
‘Did he regret it? He doesn’t want me anymore?’
Nolan called again, but she did not have the strength to answer it.
When the phone stop ringing, Kara looked around blankly, not knowing what to do.
She got up and went to the studio. Looking at the miniature version of James on the drawing board, her tears fell.
‘James, how can you go back on your words? You promised not to abandon me last night.’
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She cried out loudly.
She picked up the brush, angrily opened the paint, and randomly matched the color.
When she was unhappy in the past, as long as she drew, her heart would calm down.
However, this time, it didn’t work.
When she came back to her senses and stared at her painting, she was so scared that she poured all the paint in her hand on her body and took two steps back.
She painted a black hand grabbing onto a small person. The small person was struggling, the veins on his forehead bulged out, and his eyes almost split apart. It was sinister and terrifying.
The little person’s eyes were big. But they were full of despair.
The eyes were very emotional. The painting was in dark red. It was terrifying.
She threw the painting to the side and adjusted the color again. She made a warm orange-red and bright yellow color, but the things she painted, in the end, were still terrifying and ferocious.
She tossed away the brush and squatted down. She was about to cry.
After an unknown period of time, her phone rang again.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and glanced at it, it was James.
She felt even more uncomfortable. ‘Does he want to divorce me?’
She didn’t answer it. She sobbed.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
“Miss Kara, are you inside?”
Kara quickly wiped her tears and made a response.
“Miss Kara, Mr. James called. Do you want to answer?”
Kara pursed her lips and stood up after a while. Because she had been squatting for too long, her vision darkened and she instinctively held onto the drawing board.
After a while, her eyes became clear.
She could clearly feel that her health was getting worse and worse, but she dared not say it.
By the time she picked up Libby’s phone, it had already been more than ten minutes.
“Kara?”
“Yes.”
She deliberately lowered her voice, but he still noticed that she cried.
“Why are you crying?”
Hearing his question, she felt even more aggrieved.
“James, are you abandoning me?”
“Kara, what are you talking about?” James berated.
When he heard her sobbing, his heart ached. He tried his best to soften his voice.
“Kara, do you remember what I said to you last night?”
