CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 359: Chapter 367: I am at the Home Doorway

After eating, Jane Sampson left Black Residence, hailed a cab, and went home. The housekeeper had cleaned the house during the day, so it was very tidy.

Having taken a shower and tidied up her stuff, Jane didn’t call James Black until she was back in bed.

The phone went through, but after several rings, James didn’t pick up.

Just as Jane was about to place her mobile phone back at the head of the bed and go to sleep, James’s phone call came back.

As soon as she answered, his deep voice came through the phone with a brief question, ”Jane?”

”Yeah, did you return to the guard team?” Jane asked, ”I’m heading to Springtown early tomorrow!”

”On my way back to the guard team,” James replied, but ’on my way’ meant he was on a train back to Capital Province.

After answering, James paused before asking another question, ”What time is your flight tomorrow morning?”

”8:30,” Jane said, ”I’ll be in Springtown for about a week before I come back, and then I have to join the new drama crew in two days.”

James went quiet for a few seconds on the other end, and although Jane didn’t know what he was doing, after a while, she heard him say.

”Okay, that should work.”

After he had said that, James urged her to rest early, probably because of a bad signal, so he hung up after that.

What does he mean ’that should work’?

After hanging up, Jane was still puzzled, murmuring to herself in her heartland, but she didn’t dwell on it, switching off the light and preparing to rest early tonight.

On the train, James was calculating the time it would take to get from there to Capital Province train station and from the station to his home, confirming again that he could make it back before her departure before he closed his eyes to rest again.

This mission had been both time-consuming and exhausting, with several days of non-stop work like a robot, 24-hour surveillance, cross-province pursuit, but thankfully it ended without further losses.

This was the first time James had thought about personal matters while on a mission.

During the short breaks when switching with teammates, James would wonder if the mission would end before Jane’s departure.

If it wasn’t over by then, he wouldn’t be able to receive Jane’s call.

Knowing her, if the call before her departure didn’t go through, she probably wouldn’t call him again before they saw each other. Fortunately, today the mission had finally come to an end.

While his teammates slept heavily around him on the train, James felt like he was waiting for something, and never really fell asleep.

When the phone rang he was lost in thought and missed the call; seeing Jane’s missed call quickened James’s heartbeat.

The train wasn’t fast, but it was the only direct transportation from the city where he was on a mission to Capital Province.

Before daybreak, James finally left the train station. He didn’t return to the guard team with the rest, but immediately caught a cab straight home.

Paying the fare downstairs, James noticed the light was on at the top of the building; Jane must have already woken up.

He hurried up the building, took out his key to unlock the door, but inside, Jane, who had just washed her face and was applying skincare, must have heard the noise at the doorway and cautiously called out from the living room, ”Who’s there?”

With the door locked from inside, James couldn’t open it with his key, so he picked up his mobile phone and called Jane.

When she answered, James tersely said, ”I’m at the home doorway, open the door.”
