"Mr. Carter, can I beat up your good friend?" Jane Sampson was so angry she was almost bursting at the seams.
James Carter was also fiddling with his mobile phone, heard Janeās comment, lifted his head slightlyāa minor gesture, thought for a moment, and replied, "Suit yourself."
"Come on, itās just a joke. How can a young girl have such a fiery temper?" Kendal Smith stared at James Carterās cane for a few seconds, only breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that James had no intention of using it. After all, the lethality of Jamesās cane was not any less than that of the Old Sirās walking stick back at home.
"But speaking of which, Iām really curious, how did you end up marrying James Black? That guy has always been like that since we were kids, how could any girl like him? Are you ladiesā brains filled with cement? So you like men who are both stiff and cold?"
Kendal Smith asked with sincere curiosity. He and James were from the same school but different grades, so he often saw James around. Plenty of schoolgirls had a crush on him, but none had the courage to confess to James.
"I heard that when James graduated from high school, the school beauty plucked up her courage to confess to him, and he just coldly rejected her, saying he was already engaged." After Kendal Smith finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong.
If James Black really had a prior marriage contract that his now-wife Jane Sampson didnāt know about, wouldnāt that be stirring up trouble in their marriage? Worse, Jane might even think he was trying to hit on her.
"Hmm, our marriage contract was settled a long time ago, when he graduated high school?" Jane counted on her fingers and calculated, "Yeah, thatās about right."
"Oh my God, how old were you at that time for him to even consider it? Was he a beast?" Kendal Smith blurted out.
"Ever heard of childhood sweethearts?" Jane snapped, slapping the table, unable to tolerate anyone speaking ill of her James Black, "You wouldnāt understand, which is exactly why youāre still single!"
"Whatās that? Are you discriminating now? Iām enjoying my single life here. If I, Kendal Smith, didnāt want to be single, thereād be a trainload of girls waiting for me to choose from!" Kendal Smith scoffed and waved his hand dismissively, tearing off a piece of pizza and starting to eat.
Mocking Kendalās manner of speaking, Jane responded, "Half the train for your face, half for your wallet, not one of them for your interesting soul. I feel sorry for you."
"Iāve realized that the obedient nature you show in front of seniors is all an act, your words are too sharp," Kendal Smith nudged James Carter, "You brought this little friend along, you should keep her in line."
It was then that James Carter finally put down his phone, smiled, and said, "Sheās just fine."
After saying that, James Carter turned to look at Jane Sampson and added, "I just retweeted your tweet, I wonder if Iāll win the prize. Iām quite looking forward to it."
"What? Mr. Carter, you were retweeting my tweet?" Jane Sampson exclaimed in delight, "Mr. Carter, even if you donāt win, Iāll make sure to save a portion for you!"
"I want a portion of whatever it is too." Kendal Smith hadnāt even asked what it was about before claiming a share, and only after did he continue to inquire, "What tweet? Jane Sampsonās tweet? I havenāt followed you yet, Iāll follow you now. Jane, remember to follow me back."
It must be said, aside from Kendal Smith, who else could be so familiar right off the bat?
Only Kendal Smith would dare to entrust someone with the keys after just meeting for half a day, and only Kendal Smith would dare to boldly ask for stuff right away after just half a day of acquaintance.
