CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 2002 - 2010: Don’t Cry

The young man was quite certain, "Don’t doubt what I say. Although I’m much younger than you, I’ve seen plenty of women. I understand women and their little thoughts."

James Black responded with a nod, then added, "Alright."

He gave all the money in his hand to the mute aunt, "Please help me spend it all. Buy the best of everything, the best medicine, the best clothes and shoes, and get her some snacks that girls love, from the supermarket, potato chips, jelly, and milk tea."

The mute aunt looked over at the young man holding the money. The young man nodded at her, waved his hand, "Listen to my Brother Strongman, hurry up. If the task is well done, if my Brother Strongman is happy, I’ll give you a bonus."

With the young man’s approval, the mute aunt grinned and left happily.

The mute aunt hadn’t been out for long when the young man stepped out of the room to take a call. After a while, he called out to James Black at the doorway.

"Brother Strongman, my Big Brother asked me to go out to handle something. You get familiar with the villa; when I come back, I’ll drive to your broken house to fetch your stuff and help you cancel the lease. The mute aunt will return in the evening to cook a meal. Tonight, the two of us will have a good meal and celebrate with some wine."

After speaking, the young man hummed a tune and happily swung the car key in his hand as he left.

In this house, before James Black arrived, only the mute aunt and the young man lived here.

When these two left, only James Black and Jane Sampson were left in the house.

James Black, upon turning back to look at the person in the bed, saw that Jane Sampson, who had initially been lying with her eyes closed, had somehow already opened her eyes and was staring at him unwaveringly. Her eyes shimmered with water, and she bit her lips tightly without making a sound.

James Black felt a sharp pang in his heart, walked over, lightly touched her lips, and softly said, "Don’t bite. I’ll look around the house first and be right back to accompany you."

James Black needed to ensure there was no CCTV in the house.

He spent 15 minutes thoroughly checking every corner of the house, realizing that the Brother the young man mentioned actually trusted him greatly. Thus, the house lent to him surprisingly had no surveillance or listening equipment.

The only one left was the mute aunt.

Upon returning to the room, James Black patrolled again, confirmed there was nothing, then closed the door and approached Jane Sampson’s bedside, extending his hand to grasp the uninjured hand of Jane Sampson and pulled her to sit up.

She was limp without strength, like a plush doll, collapsed in his arms.

However, James Black could hear her sobs, the subdued whimpering, and could feel her hot tears falling onto his chest.

Actually, Jane Sampson had awoken when she instinctively cried out in pain while lying in bed, but to avoid being discovered, she did not open her eyes.

These days, every time she woke up, it was torment and agony for her.

Because, she couldn’t predict what she would experience upon waking.

The pain in her arm also suggested that perhaps, this was just the beginning.

But Jane Sampson never expected to hear that familiar voice, the voice that brought both comfort and fear to her heart.

She thought she was imagining it, believed it was a hallucination due to missing him too much, thus listening to the conversation in the room but never daring to open her eyes to see the one the young man called Brother Strongman.

Only when the room quieted down again did Jane Sampson tell herself to sneak a peek, just one glance would be enough, to fulfill a yearning, to make herself wake up a little.

She hadn’t had much time awake these days.

But during this brief time, her greatest fear wasn’t the damage inflicted upon her.

How she was harmed didn’t matter, she could grit her teeth and endure anything.

But her greatest fear was that from now on, she’d never see James Black again, never lean into his warm embrace, never hear his forbidden words.

Also, the fear of the word death.
