Chapter 2530 - 2538: Out of My League
"There isn’t any ’actually’." James Black interrupted Jane Sampson’s words, "Telling you is to stop you from overthinking. I can handle it; you don’t have to worry. After you wake up, accompany grandpa fishing and make us some fish meat for dinner, okay?"
This response from James Black was spoken close to Jane Sampson’s ear, his breath tingling on her ear, making it ticklish.
Jane Sampson awkwardly touched her ear and then turned over to avoid James Black’s lips.
"Unhappy?" James Black turned Jane Sampson’s shoulder directly back, "Don’t overthink, leave it all to me."
Jane Sampson made a sound of agreement, reaching out to wrap her arms around James Black’s waist. Her small head moved gently against his arm, then she pouted at him, acting coyly, "I want a kiss~"
James Black teased her on purpose, pushing her head back with his fingertips, chuckling softly, "Nope, close your eyes and sleep."
Jane Sampson, who was already waiting with her lips pursed for a kiss, couldn’t quite believe her ears.
James Black actually rejected her?
"Today you ignore me, tomorrow I’ll be out of your reach!"
Jane Sampson snorted and reached out to push James Black’s shoulder, "Go away! I don’t want you anymore!"
The little cat was fluffed up and unhappy, and started to push people away.
James Black held her tightly, so Jane Sampson couldn’t budge him after pushing for half a day.
Seeing Jane Sampson glaring at him angrily, James Black’s heart softened. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "Is that okay now? Close your eyes and sleep."
Jane Sampson muttered softly, "That’s more like it," then quietly yawned and leaned against James Black’s arms to sleep. Jane Sampson didn’t sleep very soundly, so James Black didn’t dare to leave and stayed in the room with her all the time.
While downstairs, Old Master Black and Brooke Black, who was still with Coco Edwards, were waiting for news from the Carter Family.
In other words, they were all waiting for the Carter Family’s final decision, waiting for the Carter Family to notify them to cancel the press reception.
Brooke Black didn’t receive any news of Jillian Carter waking up from the people at the hospital even until nine o’clock.
That is to say, until nine o’clock, there were no signs of Jillian Carter waking up.
Just as Brooke Black was preparing to leave, the Carter Family’s driver arrived at the doorway, saying he was there to take Brooke Black and Coco Edwards to the press reception scene.
It was only after getting into the car that Brooke Black realized James Carter was also in the car.
"Did you just come from the hospital?" Brooke Black asked as she got into the car and glanced at James Carter, who was already neatly dressed, obviously having gone home, but Brooke still deliberately asked knowingly.
"I left home before 8 o’clock. To be precise, I just came from the hotel. I personally went to confirm the setup of the press conference scene." James Carter knew why Brooke Black was asking him this, "Although Jillian hasn’t woken up by now, neither I, nor my parents, nor my grandparents ever thought about canceling the press conference."
"Auntie, I guess I can call you that since I follow my sister in calling you this?" James Carter spoke respectfully to Brooke Black, "Jillian’s life is her own, not ours. If she doesn’t cherish her own life, there’s no use in us cherishing it for her. She was wrong, period. We cannot punish the Carter Family with her mistakes, nor can we hurt Jane because of her again."
"She was really cruel to herself." Coco Edwards clicked her tongue, "Being discovered and saved so precisely, who knows if she really wanted to die or if it was all just acting to force you into a compromise."
