So, Mother Carter’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jane Sampson was already taken into the wolf’s nest by James Black when she was just in elementary school?

Compared to the strange expression on Mother Carter’s face, James Black’s expression was more subtly twitching.

"Not really," James Black said.

James Black thought that if he was to respond to the seniors’ questions, he should answer that he and Jane Sampson had followed the family’s wishes to get married without dating.

But seeing the two elders so nervous,

James Black’s rationality told him that at this time, it’s best to say nothing.

Because standing in front of him were his newly-found father and mother-in-law.

It’s heard that when fathers and mothers-in-law choose sons-in-law, they are extremely picky. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Father and Mother Carter didn’t wait for James Black’s response, they exchanged a glance, and Granny Carter, seeing their expression, burst out laughing. "Jane was always good at school. She was obedient as a child, so how could she have had a boyfriend so early? If she did have a boyfriend, where would she find the time to study and play the piano?" Granny Carter was mysteriously convinced that Jane Sampson was a very disciplined girl.

"Hmm." James Black nodded, giving an ambiguous reply, "She and I only got together after she graduated from university."

James Black thought that this answer couldn’t be wrong. He hadn’t lied.

It’s just that after they got together, he and Jane Sampson immediately got married, skipping over the dating phase entirely.

Up ahead, Bright Sampson couldn’t help but glance back at James Black as he spoke, then rapidly tapped away on his mobile phone to give Jane Sampson a live text update.

Knowing that James Black was undergoing a soul-searching interrogation from the father and mother-in-law, Jane Sampson on the film set was almost laughing herself breathless.

Jane Sampson went to a deserted corner and used her break time to call James Black directly.

The mobile phone in James Black’s pocket rang, and seeing it was Jane Sampson calling, he called Bright Sampson over to keep the Carter family company. He then took the phone to the courtyard to answer the call.

"James Black! James Black! Don’t you think this call of mine has rescued you from deep water and scorching fire?" Jane Sampson’s jubilant voice came through the phone.

Following her speaking voice was a series of somewhat schadenfreude laughs.

"Mr. Carter, oh no, I mean my brother, my brother asked about us when we talked this morning. Do you know what I said to him?" Jane Sampson boastfully leaned against the wall with her hands on her hips, "I said I was super beautiful and adorable, that when my husband used to chase me, he almost ran his legs off."

"..." James Black could hear the bragging in Jane Sampson’s tone, but facing her last sentence, he truly didn’t know how to respond.

After a while, James Black spoke softly, asking, "When are you coming back?"

"I don’t have any time recently, the film crew here is busy every day," Jane Sampson said with a sigh, "Before, I took a few days off from Mr. Carter to attend an event in Capital Province, and since coming back, I’ve been catching up on work every day. I’m afraid our delay would hold up the progress of the entire film crew. But, fortunately, both Mr. Carter and I are in good condition, so today’s filming wasn’t too exhausting."

James Black clicked his tongue, evidently thinking Jane Sampson would come back to Capital Province once more.

So, that sound of clicking the tongue genuinely carried a hint of regret.

However, he didn’t let Jane Sampson pick up on it.

Before James Black and Jane Sampson could finish their call, not far away, Brooke Black called James Black back inside, so he hurriedly ended the call with Jane Sampson and stepped back into the house.
