Chapter 2579 - 2587: Four Catties
Even Father Carter couldn’t help but glance twice at Jane Sampson when he entered the room, complimenting her with one sentence that she’s gotten prettier recently, with her face becoming more round.
Jane Sampson was still smiling at the first sentence, but after hearing the next one, she felt a little displeased.
"Daddy, why can’t compliments be straightforward? I was happy, and you dampened my spirits." Jane Sampson grumbled, "I’ll weigh myself after meals to see how many pounds I’ve gained to become this noticeably plump."
She hadn’t stepped on the weighing scale the entire month she stayed with James Black.
"At least three catties," Father Carter replied suppressing his laughter, "Think about how much three catties of pork is, growing that much meat on you, it can’t not be noticeable, it’s not just three ounces."
Jane Sampson touched her face, "I feel like I’m almost depressed."
Because of Father Carter’s estimate of three catties, after the meal, Jane Sampson kicked off her cotton slippers to weigh herself.
She stood on it, with Father Carter, Mother Carter, and James Carter all curiously craning their heads to look over.
"Four catties heavier," James Carter looked at Jane Sampson, "Looks like you’ve been eating well recently."
James Carter noticed that though Jane Sampson is picky, her appetite is indeed good.
Jane Sampson felt as if she’d been struck by thunder.
Four catties, imagine how much four catties of pork is?
But thinking about something else, Jane Sampson suddenly found a bit of joy amidst her grief.
It seemed not so painful after all.
"Brother! Brother! Quickly, help me get my mobile phone!" Jane Sampson stood on the electronic scale and called James Carter to help her get the mobile phone. Then she asked James Carter to help record a video, making sure to record the weight data on the electronic scale clearly.
Jane Sampson excitedly sent the video to James Black.
Just thinking about receiving four gifts from James Black, the pain of the weight gain seemed to be alleviated.
Actually, gaining four catties doesn’t make it so painfully unbearable?
Grand Chief Black! Grand Chief Black! Your Mrs. Black has gained four catties! Friendly reminder, you should prepare four gifts for your Mrs. Black, you’ll need to sign them when she returns to Capital Province! — James Black’s wife.
[Video] — James Black’s wife.
James Black received the text message just as he was leaving the dining hall, and seeing Jane Sampson’s grin in the video, he found it amusing.
Over the past month, Jane Sampson had been with him, and James Black hadn’t noticed she had gained weight. Jane Sampson was likely kidding herself by not weighing herself here, so James Black hadn’t expected she’d gain four catties.
Okay. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.
James Black subconsciously replied with one word, after waiting for a few seconds, he didn’t see a response from Jane Sampson on WhatsApp. Only then did he scroll up to read their dialogue, realizing his reply might not satisfy Jane Sampson, she might think his reply was a bit too cold.
James Black was about to send another sentence over to make up for it when Jane Sampson’s WhatsApp message popped up.
Such a cold reaction, are you preparing the gifts reluctantly? Hmph! If you don’t want to keep your promise, just say it, I won’t tell my fans or have them DISS you, no worries! — James Black’s wife.
James Black laughed, see, he knew that sometimes a woman’s temper can come without any reason, but he still had to coax her.
It’s not coldness, I was just thinking about what gifts to prepare for you just now. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black
