CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 84: Chapter 92: Why Change?

”It’s always a mess,” James Black chuckled, his broad palm gently patting Jane Sampson on the forehead. Seeing that it was about time, he finally opened the door and left.

The door locked with a soft clang, and Jane Sampson immediately sat up straight in the Bed, cupping her face with both hands, which felt burning hot.

Lately, why had James Black developed this annoying habit of kissing and hugging so frequently?

In her previous life, until her death, James Black never held her so domineeringly and kissed her.

And when sleeping at night, he had never so shamelessly clung to her in bed.

After leaving the hotel, James Black took a cab straight to the city bureau. It was early morning, with few cars and people on the road, so there was no traffic jam. He arrived early. There were two breakfast stalls already set up on the narrow street outside the city bureau. James Black ordered a bowl of porridge and found a seat, then took out his phone to call Peter Gingery and the others.

The phone had been in his trouser pocket ever since Jane Sampson had helped him put it there on the express train yesterday, and he hadn’t taken it out since.

As the mobile phone screen lit up, James Black’s indifferent gaze fixed on the photo on the screen after unlocking the phone.

Despite the person in the photo making a funny face, James Black immediately recognized that it was Jane Sampson.

”Heh,” James Black chuckled in a deep voice, gently touching the screen with his thumb.

She always had a way of surprising him.

So, had she secretly switched it on the express train yesterday?

Why?

Did she hope that every time he used his phone, he would see the photo and think of her, his wife?

Did she feel he was neglecting her too much?

”Brother, what are you looking at?” Peter Gingery suddenly popped up from behind James Black, slapped his shoulder, leaned over and peered at James Black’s phone screen, and burst into laughter, ”How ugly Jane Sampson is! Brother, why would you use such an ugly photo of her as your wallpaper?”

Peter Gingery was oblivious to the fact that his comment had darkened the expression on James Black’s face. He took out his phone, opened James Black’s WhatsAPP space, and said, ”The other photos you posted on Myspace last night look better than this one!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Peter Gingery shook his head and asked with certainty, ”Brother, these photos couldn’t have been uploaded by you, right?”

Peter Gingery felt that, judging by the captions alone, he had reason to suspect that this self-loving act must have been done by Jane Sampson.

Overnight, there were already hundreds of likes underneath that moment, and the comments were exploding with several hundred messages. Inside the comment section, a group of bickering people were arguing whether their Chief Black’s WhatsAPP account had been hacked or infected with a virus.

The avatar had been changed to some beautiful girl’s photo, and a moment was posted in Myspace — how could that possibly be something Chief Black, the Cold-faced King, would do?

Only after looking at Peter Gingery’s phone did James Black realize that last night Jane Sampson had not only changed his mobile phone wallpaper but also tampered with his WhatsAPP.

Upon opening it, he saw several photos of Jane Sampson—some were selfies, others were full-body shots taken by someone unknown, but each one was exceptionally beautiful.

James Black didn’t even look at the comments underneath the moment. After saving those photos, he immediately deleted the moment, then uploaded the saved photos to his album and set them to be visible to himself only.

”Brother, aren’t you going to change your avatar back?”

Knowing that James Black’s phone must have fallen into Jane Sampson’s hands for her to have played such a prank, Peter Gingery watched James Black’s flurry of activity. ”Why should I change it?” James Black retorted with a rhetorical question. Seeing Peter Gingery scratching his head without an answer, he continued, ”It’s quite beautiful.”

If she liked it, then let it be.
