CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 188 - 196: One Month is the Bottom Line

"You’re not allowed to throw it away either," Jane Sampson touched her nose and then cleared her throat before shouting James Black’s full name.

"James Black, let’s be reasonable," Jane thought. It’s probably because of the mountains and the long distance between us, James isn’t right by my side, so even when I can sense he’s unhappy, I unexpectedly feel very brave. As long as I’m not facing James, some things don’t seem that hard to say at all."

"Me not coming home for four to five months actually has no impact on you because, before this, you’ve also rarely come home. It’s not unusual for you to be gone half a year to a year, busy with your guard team while I’m busy in another region. My coming home or not doesn’t seem to affect you, right?"

So, what excuse could this guy possibly have for disagreeing?

This was purely looking for trouble with her, wasn’t it?

Of course, had Jane known what James would reply after she finished her sentences, she would have let James get rid of her rabbit Kris and become a beautiful and quiet mute.

Jane finished talking, and for a long time, James didn’t reply and was even very quiet. Just when Jane thought James was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly spoke.

"Are you accusing me of not fulfilling my responsibilities as a husband before?" James asked.

No, no, no, Jane inwardly roared, Lord Chief, where on earth did you hear an accusation from me? I’m just asking for people to be decent and fair.

But James didn’t give Jane a chance to retort, "I admit my mistake. So, starting now, I will definitely come home once every month. Likewise, you must also let me see you once a month."

With that, James paused for two seconds before continuing on with emphasis, "One month, that’s my bottom line."

Inside, Jane felt as if millions of alpacas were stampeding through her mind and then stomping back over the shattered pieces of her glass heart.

Isn’t it better to be a man without a bottom line at times like these?

Isn’t it?!

"Do you hear me?" After waiting for half a day without a response from Jane, James asked again with patience.

"Hmm..." Pretend not to listen to the turtle’s scriptures.

"If you can’t do it yourself, I can make it happen for you," James’s voice carried a hint of threat, "I can personally help you select jobs, with workloads that can be completed within one month."

"Oh," Jane rolled her eyes at the night, then morosely bit into the barbecue skewer in her hand, which suddenly didn’t seem quite as tasty.

So frustrating~

After hanging up the phone, Jane sat there staring blankly, vowing that one day she’d be the one calling the shots and singing her song. When that day came, she’d pay James Black back point for point!

James Black, so infuriating! Threatening people, so annoying!

When Jane returned to her seat, she noticed many people staring at her. After she sat down, the third female role Amy Sanderson teased her with a comment, "Boyfriend checking in on you?"

"No, it’s the patriarch at home checking in," Jane replied quite candidly and after finishing, looked around merrily at everyone, "The patriarch is a bit more strict."

Not allowing her to hold rabbit Kris, not allowing her to eat barbecue skewers, not allowing her to eat ice cream; so, at this time, he’s daddy Black, the patriarch. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But no one would believe Jane’s words, yet everyone in the circle knew better than to dig deeper after a joke or two. In this circle, the last thing you want is to meddle too deeply, particularly on matters of the heart, which are the utmost privacy.
