CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 160: Chapter 168: Can We Stop Mentioning It?

Feeling Old Sir’s anger, Jane Sampson, though not understanding what upset him, hurriedly tried to calm him down first.

”You’re his wife, not some nobody! Go check on him at the team base, that’s doing him a favor! And he even dare to speak to you like that, refusing to go! Later, if he begs you, don’t go either. Look at how spoiled he is, thinks he’s so mighty.”

Old Master Black knew that Jane Sampson had once taken eggs to Peter Gingery at the team base, which was the time Brooke Black had given Jane a basket of eggs. However, Old Master Black did not know that Jane had been stopped at the doorway and coincidentally ran into James Black.

Old Master Black’s words deeply moved Jane Sampson, not because she was upset that James Black didn’t let her enter, but because she didn’t like going there anyway.

James Black not letting her in didn’t anger her; on the contrary, she quite understood.

Just as she told Old Sir, that place was a guard team base, not a shopping mall where anyone could enter at will. There were rules, and she had to follow them.

Seeing Jane Sampson nod her head repeatedly and agree with such eagerness, Old Master Black began to regret it again, thinking he shouldn’t have incited Jane Sampson, who already didn’t like dealing much with James Black.

Oh, it really was heart-wrenching for his old heart.

”Let’s not talk about James Black anymore,” Old Master Black waved his hand, made a phone call, and then arranged for someone to deliver the egg whites Jane Sampson provided for Peter Gingery to the team base.

”You and Peter Gingery are so in sync,” reminisced Old Master Black with a chuckle as he thought of their childhood, ”Do you still remember when you came to me as a child, asking why you had to marry Elder Brother James Black instead of marrying Peter Gingery? You said you wanted to marry Peter. After you got married, he would eat the egg whites, and you would eat the yolks, and you’d be a husband and wife who never argue.”

”I remember,” Jane Sampson said, scratching her head in embarrassment, ”And then Peter Gingery yelled at me, ’I consider you a good bro, and you’re actually plotting to doom me for life!’”

Such naive innocence, to think of exchanging a fiancé over an egg, was indeed something Jane Sampson had done.

At that time, a marriage contract between Jane Sampson and James Black already existed, and people in the courtyard all knew that Jane would grow up to marry James. Privately, Peter Gingery had always told Jane how pitiful she was, wondering why of all people she had to marry someone like James Black, akin to the Great Demon King.

”You were much cuter back then than you are now,” Old Master Black said bluntly, sparing no face for Jane, ”As a child, you were especially smart and clever, loved to be mischievous, and would cause trouble. When you played with friends in the courtyard, you liked to bully others regardless if they were bigger or stronger than you. Somehow, you discovered that these rascals in the courtyard feared James Black. If someone wanted to fight back, you’d stand up to them loudly with all your stubbornness, saying, ’If you dare to touch me, I’ll call Brother James Black and tell him you bullied me!’ Your threats scared them enough to run crying back home to tell their parents.”

Jane Sampson held her forehead, ”Grandfather, can we not bring up such embarrassing stories?”

Everyone goes through an awkward phase, and Jane Sampson was no exception.

Blissfully ignorant of the world, she was the Sampson Family’s one and only little princess.

Back then, Jane Sampson didn’t understand romantic relationships, nor what a marriage contract meant. She thought that marriage was just like playing house as a child.

For quite some time, she took advantage of her status as James Black’s fiancée, throwing her weight around. No one in the courtyard dared to provoke her; she felt particularly impressive as his fiancée, as though she was the female Boss of Underworld from the TV, with an air of grandeur that could command the elements.
