"Relax, itās not broken." Jane Sampson hurriedly wiped the dust off the mobile phone screen and without paying attention to James Blackās hand, directly placed James Blackās mobile phone into his trouser pocket.
James Black seemed to not care at all whether his phone was broken or not, his gaze remained fixed on Janeās foot, his eyebrows furrowed, and the hand that was wrapped around Janeās waist didnāt withdraw at all, staying in a protective embrace.
Perhaps knowing that James Black was fierce, the child didnāt come over to Jane again and kept quiet for a while before going on to bother other passengers nearby.
Jane stared at the hand James Black had on her waist the entire time, wondering to herself when he would finally take it back. While she was mumbling to herself, she actually fell asleep until James Black called out to her upon the high-speed train arrival.
"You really can sleep," Peter Gingery mocked with a laugh, "Look at you snoring away."
"Impossible," Jane snorted upon seeing James Black standing up and grabbing their luggage, and then slowly stood up herself.
Her small suitcase was in James Blackās hand. As soon as she stood up, James Black asked her a question.
"Can you walk?"
"Yes," Jane nodded repeatedly. She wasnāt that delicate. A slight injury like this, although it hurt so much that her eyes turned red at the time it happened, was no longer an issue after such a long time. Walking was not a problem, as long as she didnāt get stepped on after getting out of the high-speed train station.
"Come here." James Black carried his own backpack on his shoulder and held Janeās suitcase with one hand. Once Jane came out, he directly wrapped her shoulder and led her off the train.
"Slow down, thereās no rush. Let the others go out first." Seeing Jane hastening towards the exit, James Black pressed down on her shoulder to hold her back, and then asked, "Which hotel have you booked?"
Seeing that Jane looked as though she hadnāt heard, James Black turned to look at Rock Bell standing next to them.
"At the Welton on Bob Road," Rock Bell said, and after saying so, casually asked James Black, "What about you?"
"What a coincidence!" Peter Gingery clapped his hands together and laughed.
Upon hearing this, Jane thought to herself, surely they couldnāt be staying at the same hotel by such a coincidence?
Next, she heard Peter Gingery gasping like a goat, "We are staying at the Public Security guesthouse right next to Bob Road. Itās less than ten minutesā walk from your hotel, really close."
What the hell, so coincidental!
Jane glared and kicked at Peter Gingeryās lower leg, "Next time you talk like this, watch out, Iāll beat you up."
"Jane Sampson, youāre being unreasonable now!" Peter Gingeryās face turned sour, "Youāre just scared that weāll be staying in the same hotel!"
Jane swore, if it werenāt for James Black pressing down on her shoulder stopping her from moving rashly, she really could have used her injured foot to kick this idiot Peter Gingery into a third-class disability.
Some things are better left unsaid, why bother saying them?
"Jane Sampson, donāt glare at me. I still have to say it, youāre just being silly. Think about it, weāre on a business trip, how could we possibly stay in a five-star hotel? Youāre just worrying over nothing," Peter Gingery said and then swiftly took off with his backpack on.
James Black waited until the crowd thinned before leading Jane towards the exit. The car was too crowded for everyone, so James Black didnāt share a ride with Jane and Rock Bell.
Once on the car, Jane really breathed a sigh of relief. Being pressed by James Black the whole way was truly uncomfortable. Rock Bell sat next to Jane with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, "Do you really want to divorce James Black?"
