CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1398: Wait for Me to Return Later

”Coco’s family keeps pressuring her to get discharged from the hospital and go back to work early, which really upset her,” Harry Little Money sighed. ”Even the doctor said Coco needs to focus on recovering, but I don’t know why her family is constantly pushing her to work.”

Speaking of this, Harry Little Money continued: ”Oh, and Coco’s family keeps asking about your work itinerary and what you’ve been up to recently, Jane, it’s so annoying.”

Not to mention that Harry Little Money doesn’t even know Jane Sampson’s schedule himself, and even if he did, he wouldn’t tell the Edwards family.

”Just ignore them, they’re probably hoping I’ll bring more cubilose next time I visit Coco,” Jane Sampson said coldly and mockingly.

”That’s true, the cubilose you brought last time has already been eaten by her family,” Harry remarked. ”They divided the ready-to-eat cubilose among themselves, one bottle per person per day, and finished it without even asking Coco. The raw cubilose was taken by Coco’s sister-in-law to sell in the gift shop, and I heard she made over 2,000 bucks.”

”...” Jane Sampson was left speechless by the abhorrent behavior.

To be so utterly shameless, this was a first for her.

After hanging up the phone, Jane mumbled to herself that such nice items should be given to Coco only after her family has left.

In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. James Carter happened to be free that afternoon, so Jane found herself with some free time on this day.

Early in the morning, she dressed and drove to the largest farmers’ market nearby to personally select fresh beef. Thinking of James Black being home on the weekend, she also picked up some other ingredients.

By the time she returned home from the grocery market, James Black had already arrived home.

Hearing the door, he went to the doorway and bent down to hand Jane her slippers, then naturally took the ingredients from her hands and headed to the kitchen.

”How did you come back so early?” Jane followed him to the kitchen, bouncing happily behind James.

Without waiting for James to speak, she grinned and said, ”I didn’t have to go to singing practice today because Mr. Carter was busy with personal matters in the afternoon.”

James grunted as he organized the items into the refrigerator.

Once everything was put away, he finally looked at the now empty giant bag and suddenly grabbed Jane’s hand to inspect it, revealing a red line on her palm as he suspected.

”From now on, wait for me to come with you when you’re buying heavy items,” James said.

He then gently rubbed Jane’s palm. Though his expression remained indifferent, Jane could sense his concern and reluctance from this gesture.

”I’m not that delicate, you know. I’m actually quite strong!” Jane laughed and patted James’ arm, then began to discuss the plans for the day with him.

The livestream was scheduled for two hours, so Jane needed to start preparing to cook spicy beef well in advance.

Practically spending the entire daytime in the kitchen, Jane washed the beef and let it marinate for a while, setting just a small piece aside, and cooked the rest in the pot.

That pot of beef had to be simmered for over four hours. After cooking, a few small pieces were set aside for the evening livestream, and the rest was torn into shreds by hand.

This was a huge task, so after the beef was cooked, Jane moved the basin to the living room. She enlisted James, who was newly taught to help, to watch TV together while they worked.

She specifically chose her favorite animated film, Tom and Jerry, and they ended up laughing so much that Jane eventually collapsed into James’ arms, laughing.
