CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1174: Only You Left

””This isn’t something to be pitied for her, it’s actually a very happy thing. Life is like drinking water—no one has the right to pity someone else for the life they chose themselves,” Jane Sampson said with a smile before adding, ”I actually quite understand Sister Shaw’s choice.”

A man who would plant laurel trees all over the courtyard just for her name must have truly loved her and also knew best how to love her.

Jane felt that Sister Shaw had said one thing right.

In this world, there would never be anyone else who could love her more than Brother Young, and since there wasn’t, whoever she married would merely be settling.

”Understand?” James Black was somewhat astonished. ”What? If one day something happened to me, would you make the same choice as Sister Shaw?”

Jane just rolled her eyes at James.

She had never seen anyone who cursed themselves like this.

”In your dreams!” Jane threw James’s catchphrase right back at him. ”You better stay alive, otherwise, if anything happens to you, the next day I’ll marry someone else! Who else in the world would be as controlling as you, dictating do’s and don’ts, managing everything?”

”Indeed, it’s better you wish for me to live a bit longer,” James scoffed coldly. ”Otherwise, even if I were dead, if I don’t agree, you’d have to stay in the role of Mrs. Black for a lifetime.”

Jane choked.

Ah, she couldn’t argue with a millennium-old hollow husk.

There were certainly a lot he still needed to learn.

She couldn’t expect a millennium-old husk to always know how to keep her happy every moment.

James, waiting for Jane’s response, gently squeezed the small hand in his palm. ”Not happy?”

Seeing that there was no one around, Jane directly removed her mask, revealing her entire face to James, and huffed, ”Obviously.”

Her little face was practically begging to be pampered.

”Just teasing you,” James suddenly changed his tone, ”If one day I were to sacrifice myself, the only person in this world I would worry about and couldn’t let go of would be you.”

The moment before, Jane, who had been waiting for James to pamper her, suddenly remembered all the scenes from before her rebirth.

All the images of him sacrificing himself to protect her.

So, even though he hadn’t loved her back then, she must have still been the person in the world he couldn’t bear to part with.

”If I’m here, I’ll protect you without worries; if I’m not, the Black Family will protect you without worries,” James patted Jane’s head, ”You can fearlessly do whatever makes you happy.”

”Why bring all this up out of nowhere?” Jane looked up at James. ”I’m so mischievous, can you really be at ease without keeping an eye on me?”

”That’s true,” James said softly with a laugh, then he said three words, ”Monkey King of Sampton.”

”Ah! Can we not mention those three words!” Jane exploded, ”I’m so cute, how could I resemble a monkey? I clearly look more like a little fairy!”

Jane yanked her hand away from James and began walking briskly forward, leaving him several steps behind.

Her eyes, slightly turned upward to the sky, were slightly reddened.

Not wanting him to see her like this, she could only pretend to be upset and walk ahead of him.

Even though she didn’t know in which direction Brother Young’s tomb was, Jane still strode straight ahead on the main road.
