James Black was thoroughly left out in the cold by Jane Sampson.

When she was asked to speak up, she indeed spoke up.

So, was she appeased? Or was she still not appeased?

James Black snorted and muttered, "Such a big temper."

James Black raised his hand to knock on the door, adding, "I’ll buy you another piece of cake."

Inside, Jane Sampson was splashing water around, and her eyes lit up. Fearing that James Black might go back on his word, she quickly replied, "Okay! You must keep your word, no lying. If you lie, I’ll ignore you forever."

"I’ve never lied to you," James Black responded in a deep voice, then walked away with a smile.

Finally, she was appeased. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Jane Sampson soaked in the bath room for ten minutes, then changed into pajamas and came out. The hot water made her all flushed, but it did ease her leg soreness quite a bit.

James Black didn’t return to the study; he waited in the bedroom for her to come out.

Jane Sampson glanced at James Black, beckoned him with her little finger, then climbed onto the bed, lying there with a sly smile waiting for him to come over.

"Lie down, and I’ll massage your lower legs." James Black patted Jane Sampson’s flat belly and instructed her, waiting for her to turn over, and adeptly massaged her.

This comfortable enjoyment made Jane Sampson lay there and continuously express her comfort.

Short sounds like ah, um, wow, and oh made James Black involuntarily lift his eyes to glance at her.

"Planning on making more fuss in the future?" James Black slightly increased the strength in his hands and asked.

"No more fuss." Jane Sampson honestly admitted her mistake, "I should obediently listen to you and run with you slowly."

To know one’s mistake and to correct it is a great virtue.

James Black gave a satisfied hum.

"I’ll take you out after the lunch break," James Black said.

"Is it to buy a cake?" Jane Sampson turned her head to look at James Black, "Can I choose it myself?"

She asked, delighted.

James Black knew Jane Sampson’s behavior too well, so he didn’t give her the chance to say another sentence and directly said, "A single-serving cake, style is up to you."

Limited to a single serving.

In Jane Sampson’s mischievous eyes, the sentence from earlier was clear as day.

She wanted to choose a super large cake for herself.

"Mm~" Jane Sampson couldn’t hide her disappointment in her tone, "Got it."

Then, she turned her head back, dutifully lying there, playing with her slender jade fingers.

After a bit of thinking, unwilling to give up, she tentatively asked, "Then can I buy more yogurt?"

"Sure." James Black agreed to this request.

Even though she got an affirmative answer, the thought of the cake still made Jane Sampson exclaim and sigh deeply.

"James Black, you can upset me more often, really." Jane Sampson said earnestly.

The more he upset her, the less happy she’d be, which would mean James Black, not being good with words, would have to buy delicious treats to appease her.

Therefore, such annoyance was quite worth it.

James Black lifted his eyelids, raised his hand, and gave Jane Sampson’s bottom a light slap, "Behave yourself."

Jane Sampson giggled and replied with a good-natured response. Just as she was about to speak again, her mobile phone rang.

"Could you bring it over, it’s a call from Sister Tin." Jane Sampson ordered James Black as soon as she spoke.

James Black immediately thought of Jane Sampson’s work on the 20th of next month, so he sat there motionless. Jane Sampson looked at him suspiciously, ready to get up and grab the mobile phone herself, but he firmly pushed her back down.
