"I definitely wonāt replace your bandage, you big pigās trotter!" Jane Sampson patted James Blackās hand that was around her waist, "Let go, I want to leave!"
James Blackās eyebrows twitched.
Big pigās trotter?
What does that mean?
Even though he couldnāt fully understand what the term meant, it didnāt prevent James Black from grasping that it was a new insult Jane Sampson had picked up somewhere to scold him.
Nor did it stop James Black from knowing that Jane Sampson was angry.
She was angry because he had hidden his injury from her.
"It was very late when I got home last night, I didnāt want you to worry, so I didnāt tell you," James explained, "Itās really just a minor injury."
Afraid that if he let go, Jane Sampson would run out the door and it would be hard to coax her back, James Black switched from hugging to holding Jane Sampsonās wrist with one hand, and with the other hand, he reached toward the bedhead cabinet, and like performing magic, pulled out a card and handed it to Jane Sampson.
"Take it."
Seeing that Jane Sampson wouldnāt take it, James Black directly and forcefully stuffed it into Jane Sampsonās hand.
Having personally given it to her, Jane Sampson certainly knew exactly what the item in her hand was.
Peace card.
James Black placed it in the bedhead cabinet drawer; she saw it when she came back. There were three cards inside.
When Jane Sampson was bored, she thought about hiding them, but later decided to be generous and didnāt do it.
"Donāt be angry," James Black squeezed Jane Sampsonās palm.
Angry.
How could she not be angry?
Jane Sampson was almost puffed up like a round, angry pufferfish.
She should have hidden all three cards at that time!
"Jane Sampson, as an adult, you need to have integrity." James Black used his strength and directly pulled Jane Sampson back, "What did you say back then? How is a peace card used?"
"If you give it to me, I wonāt be mad at you." Jane Sampson replied with a pout.
She understood the reasoning, but she was still so upset!
"The medicine and gauze are downstairs. I left them by the doorway when I came in yesterday, go get them for me to change the bandage." James Black seemed to want to test if Jane Sampson was still angry, so he found something for her to do.
Seeing Jane Sampson still standing there motionless, James Black then stuffed another card into Jane Sampsonās palm.
Jane Sampson huffed, then looked down.
Kiss card.
"Give it back! I donāt feel like kissing you at all right now!" Jane Sampson angrily tossed the card back into the drawer, "Wait, Iāll go get your stuff."
After saying that, she turned and walked out, but a few steps later, she suddenly stopped, stood at the doorway, and glanced back at James Black.
It seemed like she hesitated over something.
A few seconds later, she suddenly turned back, ran back to James Blackās side, leaned down, and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
After the kiss, she reached out and took out the kiss card she had just thrown into the drawer and tucked it into her pajama pocket, then happily went out the door.
James Black touched the spot where Jane Sampson had just kissed him and clicked his tongue, "Not even five seconds, yet you shamelessly took the card back."
Jane Sampson didnāt hear James Blackās complaint. She went downstairs and saw the carry-on bag James mentioned, which he had left by the doorway when he came in late last night.
"Whose stuff is this? Early in the morning, left damp by the doorway?" Brooke Black came out of the kitchen holding lemon water and asked Jane Sampson, "Is it yours, Jane? I thought the Great General had dragged something back early in the morning."
