When Kara heard Donald, she looked at the driver in the front seat. The driver was wearing a black windbreaker, a black baseball cap, and a pair of sunglasses.
Kara felt that he was somewhat familiar. She reached out and patted the driver’s back.
James’ back stiffened. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, thinking about what he should say if Kara found out it was him.
“Donald, your driver is so cool.”
“That’s a driver I hired at an expensive price.”
Donald was also nervous. But when he heard Kara’s words, Donald heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled maliciously at James.
“Kara, if you leave James, you must have a new boyfriend. How about I introduce you to this driver?”
Kara stared at the driver’s back. Although he looked like James, Kara thought it was impossible for James to be here and drive.
“If I leave James, I won’t fall in love,” Kara said in a self-mocking way.
“Why?” Donald was curious.
“Donald, why didn’t you find a new girlfriend after Nicole left?” Kara asked.
“My situation is different from yours. I found Nicole and promised to take care of her for the rest of my life.” Donald frowned.
“James found me as well, but he gave up.” Kara bit her lower lip. “I said that if he wanted me to leave, I would leave. There’s no need for him to chase me away.”
Donald just wanted to tease James, but Donald didn’t want to see Kara suffer. As Donald was thinking of ways to comfort Kara, Kara looked sad again.
“Perhaps it’s fate. No matter how good James is as a boyfriend, it just won’t end up well if he is not willing to accompany me. He is just a passer-by. James is a good man. But I would look stupid to beg him to stay with me if he had already made his decision.
“I won’t look for another man either. I will learn to be independent and live a good life by myself. There is no need to participate in another relationship to hurt me.”
Donald didn’t know what to say.
His head hurt even more, and he felt that he just made things worse.
“Donald, don’t try to persuade me. I know what to do.”
Donald was speechless.
He glanced at James, hoping for good luck for James.
Back at the apartment, Kara went upstairs to remove her makeup and changed into her pajamas. She saw that Donald had a large bookshelf with many books about the arts. She flipped through a book casually.
Donald didn’t disturb Kara. He took a few books and threw them at her as a gift.
Kara was grateful, sat on the sofa with a book, and started reading.
Donald looked at Kara for a while, put the prepared camera on the bookshelf, and aimed it at Kara.
After that, he went upstairs to sleep and asked Kara to call him if there was something wrong.
Kara was focused on the book. She nodded casually and continued reading.
James, who was still in the car, stared at the screen on his phone. It was Kara quietly reading the book.
He accompanied her quietly. After a long time, James saw Kara close her eyes gently. The book in her hand fell to the ground, and she fell asleep on the sofa.
James could not help but smile. He wondered how Kara could even fall asleep while reading.
Then James got out of the car and went upstairs. He gently opened the door to the apartment, walked to the sofa, and squatted down. Looking at Kara’s pale face, he was so distressed that he could not look away.
Kara suddenly turned over and curled into a ball. James was shocked. He squatted behind the sofa and waited for a few minutes. Until Kara fell deep asleep again, James walked up to her again.
Bending over, James picked Kara up and found that she was much lighter after their departure. He frowned.
Libby told James that Kara had eaten a lot these days. ‘But why was she so much lighter?’ thought James.
James gently placed Kara on the bed, lifted the quilt, and covered her up. He naturally wanted to lower his head and kiss her.
However, James was afraid of waking up Kara. He paused and stared at her long eyelashes. James licked his lips and gave up on his idea.
“Little fool, how would I chase you away?”
James avoided Kara these past few days simply because he did not know how to face her.
Figuring that he was the one who caused Kara to suffer, James was unhappy and tortured himself by keeping a distance from Kara.
But based on what Kara said, Kara was complaining about James in her heart. It was not because he hurt her, but also because he selfishly chose to keep a distance from her. James felt even more uncomfortable.
“I can’t bear to part with you. But for your health, I still have to keep a distance from you. You can’t understand my feelings. I don’t blame you, but I don’t want you to be unhappy. Little fool, do you understand?”
James said in a low voice. In the end, he couldn’t help but gently lie down beside Kara and stare at her face in a daze.
Kara fell asleep and had a dream.
She dreamt of walking into the forest that she was very familiar with. Every time she had nightmares before, she would walk into such a terrifying forest.
In the past, she was very afraid. But this time, she was strangely calm and fearless.
The worst situation was death.
But Kara was not afraid of death. She was afraid that after being abandoned by James, she would lie in a cold place and sleep alone forever.
When Kara found a lake in front of her, she curiously quickened her pace and walked to the shore of the water. She was about to look down at the lake.
Suddenly, a crocodile jumped up and swallowed her whole.
Kara screamed all of a sudden.
She jumped up. Because of her dramatic movements, Kara directly fell off the bed.
“Ouch, it hurts.”
She fell to the ground, hurt her back, and screamed in pain.
“Kara, what’s wrong?” Donald was outside the door and asked worriedly.
Kara opened her eyes and looked out of the window. She found that it was nearly dawn.
She had to attend the training today and could not be late.
Therefore, Kara quickly got up to wash up and get changed. When she opened the door, she saw Donald wearing an apron. She stopped in her tracks in surprise.
“Donald, what are you doing?”
“Are you okay? I’m making breakfast.” Donald stared at Kara with a worried expression.
“I had a nightmare and was scared awake. Wait! Donald, I’m going to be late.” Kara pushed Donald away in a hurry and ran out.
Donald grabbed Kara’s collar and lifted her. “Why are you in such a hurry? As a training teacher, I haven’t even left yet. Eat your breakfast first. We’ll leave together later.”
“What?” Kara was puzzled. She remembered that in the daily schedule of training, there was not a teacher named Donald.
“I volunteered myself to the organizers to give a lecture. They not only agreed but also gave me 500 thousand.”
Kara opened her five fingers, and her mouth was wide open.
“A five-hour class a day. And they pay you 500 thousand. That’s a lot of money.”
“Don’t even talk about it. If it isn’t for you, I won’t even be there.” Donald shook his head contemptuously and passed the breakfast to Kara.
“Why is it for my sake?” Kara felt that there was something she had yet to know.
‘Why would Donald suddenly go to the class for no reason? He said it was because of me,’ thought Kara.
“I’m happy too. My little junior is doing training. Of course, I have to go and support you.”
Donald was still depressed when he thought of this. Last night, James told Donald not to let Jadon have a chance to come near Kara. In this regard, Donald could only contact the organizers and then become a training teacher.
Lecturing for only 500 thousand was not enough for Donald, far beyond his regular salary. If James did not send some money to make it up, Donald figured he would be so angry.
Kara glanced at Donald with curiosity, still in doubt.
It wasn’t like Kara wanted to fight someone. She was wondering why Donald acted so nervous.
It turned out that it was quite useful to have Donald support Kara while Kara was studying.
