CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1506: No Reply

”Just cook something with whatever’s in the refrigerator,” Jane Sampson sat down on the floor, kicked off her snow boots, put on slippers, and pulled on James Black’s pants two steps away to stand up.

”Jane Sampson!” James Black growled softly and reached out to pull her up.

”Hahaha.” Jane started laughing before she even got her balance, swatted James’s hand away, and dashed straight into the bedroom.

At the doorway, she paused, suddenly turned back to look at James, and mischievously said, ”Tomato and egg noodles, okay?”

James ignored Jane’s words and went straight to the kitchen; even in the kitchen, he could hear Jane’s laughter.

James wasn’t upset. Jane was still joking around and laughing, which meant she was getting over the shock of Grandpa’s passing.

He didn’t know what Granny Sampson had said to Jane, but today she was in a much better state than a few days ago.

However, there were indeed only eggs and tomatoes in the refrigerator.

James had just finished frying an egg when Jane, having changed into home clothes, came out of the bedroom, bouncing as she headed to the kitchen. She leaned her head next to him to peek at the eggs in the pot and criticized, ”They’re all burnt~”

James’s hand holding the spatula shook a little; he used his elbow to push Jane’s head away and then placed the plate with the eggs to the side, calmly cracking another egg into the pot.

Jane wondered to herself why she hadn’t noticed before how patient James was?

”This one’s not burnt; it’s for you,” James suddenly said to Jane.

Jane was daydreaming, and she instinctively nodded when she heard him, then snapped back to reality to see James looking at her. She grinned, stood on tiptoe, kissed James on the corner of his mouth, and then hugged his waist.

”Today, I saw Grandpa and Grandma’s wedding photos. Grandma was so beautiful when she was young, and Grandpa was so handsome too,” Jane remarked sentimentally and then asked curiously, ”James, if I wasn’t good-looking, would you still have married me back then?”

”That’s not a valid question, so I won’t answer,” James replied while putting the chopped tomatoes on the cutting board into the pot, stirring them over low heat.

”I mean hypothetically, though?” Jane pouted, ”What if I had lots of freckles, buck teeth, small eyes, a big round face, a piggy nose, bushy eyebrows, dark skin, oh, and even body odor, would you still marry me?”

”Do women all like asking hypothetical questions like this?” James felt a headache coming on, ”This hypothesis is impossible. If you looked like that, your grandfather wouldn’t have arranged our engagement.”

This was the reality; if Jane had really been that unattractive, Old Sir would’ve never subjected his beloved grandson to such a match.

Old Master Black had agreed to James marrying Jane because she had been adorable since she was young, and all the seniors liked her. She had a charming appearance, and she was hardworking and excellent. Old Master Black didn’t have a granddaughter, so he was particularly fond of his old teammate’s granddaughter.

”But what if my grandfather was captivated by my talent and insisted you marry me?” Jane grew more curious as James avoided giving a direct answer.

”If your hypothesis is based on us still having a marriage contract from childhood, then I would still marry you.”

This was a matter of responsibility. With such a long-standing marriage contract, it wasn’t possible not to fulfill it after so many years of commitment.
