CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 77: Chapter 85: What’s the Purpose of Being Born

Hearing Jane Sampson’s cry, the child was still sitting underneath the table, laughing loudly.

James Black lowered his gaze, and a fierce look swept across to the child, who immediately stopped laughing and froze. A few seconds later, the child burst into tears. At this time, the child’s parents, hearing their child’s cry, hurried over and pulled the child away, scolding, ”The child was just joking with you, was it necessary to scare him to tears? He’s just a child, what does he understand?”

”If the child doesn’t understand, don’t you?” James Black’s voice was cold and harsh as he retorted, ”If you don’t teach your child, what’s the point of having one?”

After James Black’s words fell, the child’s crying immediately grew louder. The child’s mother glared at James Black with anger, trying to soothe the child, while the father stood up as if he wanted to take a swing at James Black. However, as James Black’s piercing gaze swept over, the child’s father immediately shrunk back.

”Cry, cry, cry, that’s all you know how to do.” The child’s father raised his hand and hit the child on the forehead. It was probably because everyone in the compartment was looking at him, and he felt humiliated, so he yelled at the child’s mother, ”What good are you? Can’t you comfort your son when he cries?”

”Damn, scumbag!” Peter Gingery swore under his breath, clenching his teeth.

”Shut up,” James Black spoke.

It wasn’t clear who he was addressing, but Peter Gingery did shut up, and so did the child who had been crying, silenced by James Black’s dark words and then fearfully hiding behind his mother.

”Lift your foot...”

James Black was about to ask Jane Sampson to lift her foot so he could take a look, but after speaking a few words, he noticed that Jane was wearing a dress. He didn’t finish what he was going to say, and instead bent down to look under the table at Jane Sampson’s foot.

The child’s punch was not weak; Jane Sampson’s thumb had swollen up, and there was blood pooled under the nail.

James Black sat back down, turning to look at Jane with her eyes reddened. Seeing her looking so pitiful, James felt somewhat irritated as he pulled her into his arms. With one hand around her waist, he whispered, ”If it hurts, just endure it.”

Endure it.

If it hurts, just endure it.

This sentence was all too familiar to Jane Sampson. Leaning in James Black’s arms, her mind was flooded with memories of the time she was protected under his body during an earthquake.

At that time, James Black had said the same thing to her: If it hurts, just endure it.

One really shouldn’t expect to hear anything too comforting from James Black’s mouth.

Rock Bell, sitting opposite, was stunned at James Black’s blunt words, and she realized why Elder Black had arranged a marriage contract for him so early. Otherwise, with James Black’s personality, he probably wouldn’t find a girlfriend in a lifetime, right?

”Brother, your phone. Check if it got damaged,” Peter Gingery mentioned James Black’s phone lying on the ground as if James had forgotten about it, bending down to pick it up and hand it to him.

Jane Sampson took the opportunity to push away from James Black’s embrace and reached out to take the phone, muttering, ”If the phone is broken, let the child’s dad and mom pay for it!”

Over there, hearing Jane’s words, the child’s mother immediately argued, ”Why should we? This is extortion isn’t it? The phone didn’t fall from my child’s hands!”

Jane Sampson ignored the shrew, pressed James Black’s phone, and there was no damage, just a little wear on the edges. The screen lit up, revealing her photo making a funny face, after the lock screen was swiped away.
