CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1074: Dare Not, Dare Not

”Jane Sampson, you...” Peter Gingery looked at Jane Sampson with a face full of disbelief.

Hearing this, Jane Sampson let out an ”ah,” raised her head, and looked over at Peter Gingery beside her.

Then, they locked eyes, and Peter’s face was filled with incredulity, his eyes and expression screaming a single sentence.

I trusted you so much, yet you betrayed me!

To think, you gave the thing that was mine to another man right in front of me.

You actually betrayed me, who trusted you so much.

Jane Sampson scratched her head and turned to look at James Black again before explaining to Peter, ”Well, he eats egg whites, too.”

Ever since James Black intercepted the egg whites from Peter last time, Jane had spent a lot of time with James, so when eating eggs, she gradually got used to giving the whites to James.

Eventually, this action became a habit.

James Black picked up the whites and took a bite, casting a gloomy look at Peter, ”What, got a problem with it?”

”Not at all, not at all.” Even if Peter dared to have an opinion, it was the kind of daring that came without the courage to express it, showing sheer timidity.

But he still looked at Jane Sampson with those abandoned, pitiful eyes, almost making her feel a twinge of guilt.

”Want to eat egg whites? Easy, find a wife who dotes on you, and she’ll cook eggs for you every day.” Old Master Black tapped Peter on the forehead and then continued cheerfully slurping his noodles.

Old Master Black looked at the table full of dishes and felt that coming here today had been the right decision.

If he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have known that in the midst of her busy schedule, Jane specifically made time to celebrate James Black’s birthday.

She made the cake herself, and the longevity noodles too, looking at their interaction, the words and glances they shared, the gestures, they now seemed like a closely intimate couple, as it should be.

Not like half a year ago, when they were so distant they were barely even like ordinary friends.

As a wife, she used to be so afraid of James that in his presence, she wished she could silently burrow into a hole and swiftly vanish.

Old Master Black thought that Jane and James being like this now was quite good.

After the meal, Peter left with Old Master Black to return to the Black Residence, belonging to the guard team. Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Peter had gone home, so this trip was like a heavy blow at Jane’s, and he was off to find some comfort from his mother’s and father’s love.

James Black cleaned up the dinner dishes as usual, but he did not expect that in the short time he went to the kitchen, Jane had already started smacking on a lollipop when he came out.

The moment he locked eyes with her glinting like little foxes, James knew she must have been craving it all afternoon.

”Shall we go for a walk to help digest?” James walked over, helplessly fondling Jane’s hair. She was the one who claimed she was stuffed just now, and now, she was the one starting to snack on candy again.

”Mhm.” Jane nodded in agreement and then scampered behind James, putting on her shoes and stepping out the door.

They had already walked downstairs, and James still hadn’t spoken to her, nor had he reached out to hold her hand. Jane sidled up to him and then turned on her mobile phone, showing it to James.

”It’s all Nina Rice’s fault for tempting me! But, it’s also my fault for not resisting the temptation.” This was like shirking responsibility followed by a quick self-reflection.

James looked down at the phone and then burst into laughter.

Nina Rice had sent Jane a bunch of photos bragging about her candy, and not to be outdone, Jane unwrapped a lollipop, popped it in her mouth, and took a retaliatory selfie to send back.
