CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1169: Searching for You for Three Years

”Hehe.” Jane Sampson’s eyes gleamed as she blinked at James Black.

”What did you promise me just now?” James asked.

”To only drink half a bottle.” Jane replied earnestly, then poked the bottle and whispered in defense, ”Half a bottle isn’t up yet.”

One asked, one answered, the couple seemed oblivious to their surroundings.

Jillian Carter gently bit her lip, then finally looked at Jane Sampson, ”This is Mr. Black’s wife?”

”Mm.” It was only then that James responded to Jillian.

”May I be so bold as to ask how long you two have been married?” Jillian seemed completely unaware that as a stranger, her question was somewhat impolite.

At this point in the conversation, James couldn’t hide his displeasure, his voice chilling slightly, ”I have no interest in showing my private life to a stranger, you’ve crossed a line.”

Four straightforward words, without a shred of courtesy.

Jillian’s expression froze on the spot, and it took her a while to recover.

”Sorry.” Jillian’s voice softened considerably as she hesitated for two seconds before asking, ”Did Mr. Black and Miss Sampson just arrive in King Town? Mr. Black, would you mind sharing your phone number with me? I have been living in King Town for several years, and I would like to extend the hospitality of a landlord to my lifesaver. Consider it a chance for me to repay my debt.”

”It’s not convenient,” James replied before picking up the chopsticks again to serve Jane some vegetables, ”They’re done, eat quickly before the meat gets tough.”

”If it’s tough, I’ll give it to you,” Jane blurted out.

James couldn’t help but laugh at that, raising his hand to ruffle Jane’s head, ”I owe you one.”

Without having to utter a word of dismissal, the two of them made it quite clear that they expected Jillian to take a hint and leave by themselves.

Jillian stood there for just a few seconds before biting her teeth and turning back upstairs.

Sister Shaw had a complex expression as she saw Jillian returning, unable to tell whether she was relieved or sighed.

After Jillian went back to the private room, she sat down in low spirits, ”I never expected him to be so indifferent and rude, to not give any face at all.”

”Old Young told me he’s a cold man, he’s always been like that to people he doesn’t find important. Don’t take it to heart,” Sister Shaw comforted her.

But it was that very phrase, ”someone he doesn’t find important,” that made Jillian feel worse.

”Sister Shaw, he saved my life. Later, I have always been looking for him, searching by all means possible,” Jillian took a deep breath, ”Sister Shaw, you have his contact information, right? Can you please give me his phone number?”

”Jillian, I really can’t agree to that request. You know, he’s a guard, and I can’t just give his contact information to anyone,” Sister Shaw said. ”He is your lifesaver, but you should have already thanked him when you went downstairs earlier, right? You’re a girl, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to contact him privately. After all, he is a married man now. Jillian, do you understand what I mean?”

Jillian sat there quietly without responding, her face sullen. Her favorite hotpot, which she was eating, suddenly lost all its flavor.

”I understand,” Jillian answered disconsolately.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, after the others had left, Jane Sampson leaned forward with both hands on the table, propping up her cheeks, and stared intently at James Black.
