CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 429: Chapter 437: Half a Month

”Arrived?” James Black’s voice, always devoid of discernible emotion, came through the mobile phone, followed by his typical dredging of old grievances, ”I thought I’d be waiting until evenings again, before sleep, to get your call.”

”How could that be? You even left me a note; I saw it and remembered!” Jane Sampson responded frankly.

She had indeed made the call promptly. Whether she remembered or how she came to think of it, were things that James Black would never know.

”Not bad,” James Black praised Jane with a sentence before adding, ”Grandpa and Grandma seem to miss you a lot. They said this morning that you should come have a meal with me at their place next time you return.”

After a pause, James Black asked, ”When do you think you can come back at the earliest?”

”Hmm, Grandpa just called me about that, mentioning it,” Jane Sampson didn’t catch the deeper meaning in James Black’s question at first and after giving it some thought, she replied, ”Maybe in about half a month? My script schedule isn’t that tight. I’ve already talked to Director Wilson about taking time off to go to Springtown, and he agreed. I can either go back to Capital Province before heading to Springtown, or visit after I’m done there.”

”Hmm, half a month.” James Black found half a month’s time on the calendar on his table with a pen and then circled it.

Jane Sampson would be back in half a month.

Compared to a month, it was a whole half shorter.

James Black couldn’t help but smile slightly, but after the laugh, he couldn’t help but feel a blockage in his heart.

A single sentence from Grandpa, it seemed, was more effective than his thousands or tens of thousands of words.

If he had been the one to ask her to come back when she had the time just now, she would certainly have told him she was busy.

Jane Sampson saw that Elizabeth King had collected her luggage and didn’t chat with James any more. As she hung up, she vaguely thought she heard something about the evening from James but didn’t catch it well. She casually agreed and ended the call to hurry and help Elizabeth with her luggage.

On the other side, as the buzzing sound came through the phone, James Black furrowed his eyebrows.

Had that woman who casually agreed really understood what he had just said?

James Black sneered. In any case, he had said it, and she had agreed; he would take it as her agreement.

The group had staff from the film crew waiting to pick them up as soon as they left the airport. The shooting location wasn’t in the city district but in a centennial village in a county of this city.

It took more than three hours to drive from the airport to the village.

When the group arrived at the village, it was a little past four in the afternoon. The sunlight wasn’t too strong and it was the most beautiful time of the day. All the buildings in the village were well-preserved. As they stepped into the village, they could see old houses filled with ancient charm, adorning the village with a unique flavor.

”Director Wilson put a lot of effort into finding this village to recreate the most genuine scenes from that era,” the staff member who picked them up couldn’t help but praise the village. ”This village was a famous Guardian Village in the early years. Many elderly here are retired soldiers who have participated in many battles. The oldest one seems to be around 100 years old and still strong enough to do farm work.”

”I looked up some information about this village on my mobile phone when entering, and according to the online information, the village still retains many traces from wartime, including some earthen forts. On the walls of these forts, you can still see the pockmarked bullet holes?” Jane Sampson was interested in this, having seen an introduction to these earthen forts in the guardian team’s affairs magazine James Black belonged to. But she hadn’t seen them in person.
