CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 413: Chapter 421: Next Page

James Black tugged but couldn’t move it, so he reached out, supported the back of her head, and smoothly pulled out the book, his voice deep and haunting, ”Jane Sampton, have you recently bought a wholesale batch of braveness and replenished it all at once?”

James Black actually found this amusing.

If it weren’t for her doing this, James Black himself wouldn’t have realized that he could have such a good temper. Jane Sampton was constantly stepping on his bottom line, then forcefully pulling it down bit by bit.

If it were before, considering James Black’s temperament, if someone dared to disturb him like this while he was reading, lying on his book and on his thighs, he would have put on a stern face and taken the person aside for a cleanup.

But now, looking at Jane Sampton’s squinting, fox-like face, James Black was unbelievably unable to get angry.

His index finger lightly tapped on Jane Sampton’s forehead; she didn’t dodge it but chuckled and then grabbed his hand, stuffing her script into it, moving the position of his hand to where her eyesight felt most comfortable.

James Black: ”...”

Giving her an inch and she takes a mile doesn’t even begin to describe Jane Sampton’s audacity.

Even if Jane Sampton didn’t become an actor, if she became a diplomat, she would definitely be an outstanding one—with keen observational skills, looking at people’s expressions, she would always manage to hover just on the brink of their patience without giving them a chance to blow up.

Devilishly clever, devilishly clever.

Afterward, the living room occasionally echoed with Jane Sampton’s voice saying, ”Flip, next page.”

Then came the sound of flipping papers and James Black’s light snort, whether of irritation or anger, followed by Jane Sampton’s soft voice memorizing her lines.

More than half an hour passed like this, and James Black suddenly realized that Jane Sampton had been quiet for a while. He took away the script obstructing his view and looked down at the person lying on his thighs.

Heh, no wonder there was no sound; she had comfortably fallen asleep on his legs.

James Black placed the script on the small table next to him, then shifted a bit and picked up the Jane Sampton lying on his thighs, intending to carry her back to the bedroom.

However, he hadn’t expected that his movement would startle her awake.

”Heading back to the bedroom for a nap?” James Black maintained his standing posture, holding her in his arms, and asked in a low voice when he saw her wake up.

”Mhm, put me down first,” Jane Sampton said after a few seconds, finally coming to her senses and remembering what she had just been doing.

James Black maintained his original position, not moving, while Jane Sampton struggled a bit and jumped down from his arms, then sat on the sofa like a stiff corpse for a while.

Feeling something poking her in the back, Jane Sampton slowly reached behind her back and touched it, but unexpectedly, she pulled out a paper box from between the sofa cushions.

It was a box of...

Mini umbrellas?

Jane Sampton instantly snapped fully awake, clutching the box of mini umbrellas, and nearly exploded with anger. She glared at James Black, then got up and walked toward the direction of the trash can.

”We ran out at home, so I bought a box on the way back.” It was probably in his pocket, which he had forgotten about, and the box must have fallen out when he sat down on the sofa without him noticing.

Seeing no change in Jane Sampton’s actions, James Black stood with his arms crossed over his chest and said indifferently, ”If you’re not planning on having a child so soon, I advise you not to throw it away.”
