Jane Sampson hummed in response, her voice still carrying a hint of a sob from crying earlier, muffled, making James Black frown.
"From now on, youāre not allowed to cry at any time," he said in a very stern tone.
"Hmm~" Jane Sampson then broke into a smile, her voice soft and tender as she replied, "Iām not a crybaby. I was just really annoyed just now!"
She wouldnāt be sad enough to cry over any lost stuff, even if it were her new purse or anything else that might be invaluable. At most, she would just complain about her bad luck.
But this time, what she lost was something James Black had given her, and to her, that was different.
"That statement doesnāt sound very convincing," at least James had seen her cry several times before.
Thinking of this, Jamesās eyebrows suddenly lifted, and the corner of his mouth quirked up slightly as he added, "Except..."
"Except what?" Jane Sampson asked instinctively.
"In our bed, Iāll allow you to cry," he said in an indifferent voice.
"..." At this moment, Jane Sampson really wanted to smash her mobile phone into Jamesās face.
Even through the phone, she could imagine the expression on his face when he said that with such a serious demeanor.
But at this moment, she didnāt even want to hang up the call.
"James Black, I donāt want to talk to you," Jane Sampson said coyly, "But I donāt want to hang up the phone, Iām upset, and you have to comfort me!"
"Keep dreaming," James replied with three words, his voice laced with amusement, but he started speaking again, "The lipstick has been reordered for you, the engraving has been specially requested, and thereās one more thing, I think I should notify you in advance."
"What?" The person who had just said she didnāt want to talk to him quickly asked.
"The box youāve been hiding..."
As soon as Jane Sampson heard about the box, she shouted, "Youāve seen my box?!"
"Not yet," James, seeing Janeās strong reaction, grew even more curious about what was inside the box, "But Iāll take a look, so Iām giving you a heads-up."
Upon hearing this, Jane immediately reassured herself, "You wonāt find it!"
So certain? Could it be itās not hidden in the house?
James was a bit surprised, "Our house isnāt that big, how could it not be found?"
"Our house is not small, okay? If I, Jane Sampson, choose to hide something, nobody can find it!" Jane Sampson boasted.
James chuckled softly, "Then it seems it really is hidden in the house."
The little miss, so easily led into revealing her secret.
"..." Jane Sampson bit her lips; this man really was...
Did he just start off not sure whether it was hidden in the house?
This guy, all brains and slyness, so annoying!
"Even if youāre now sure itās in the house, you definitely wonāt find it! Humph!" With that, Jane Sampson hung up the phone.
Coco Edwards returned after a while, and having just stepped out, came back to find the girl who had teary eyes a moment ago now lying on the bed, holding her phone and laughing. She looked shocked.
"You laugh like this after losing something? You havenāt been driven crazy by the shock, have you?" Coco walked over concernedly, touched Jane Sampsonās forehead, and muttered, "Itās not hot~"
"James Black ordered another one just like it for me!" Jane Sampson rolled over, showing her teeth in a smile at Coco, "He cheered me up."
"..." Unexpectedly force-fed a mouthful of dog food, Coco thought about it and felt she shouldnāt have asked that question.
