"If you wonāt let me ask, fine! Humph!" Jane Sampson muttered, "You must really not want me to go. I bet as soon as Iām on the airplane, youāll be crying secretly inside the car."
Even for someone as emotionally reserved as James Black, he was thoroughly amused by her words.
He reached out to put her mask back on, covering her slightly swollen lips, and chuckled to himself. So this was the flavor of the lipstick heād given her.
"Remember, youāre about to get your period, no cold drinks, no fried foods, and if you really crave something, just have a lollipop." James Black magically produced two lollipops from his pocket for Jane Sampson, "Donāt eat too many."
They were Alps lollipops. Janeās eyes lit up, and, fearing James would take them back, she quickly snatched them and tossed them into her bag. After closing her purse securely, she patted it.
"Did you hear that?" James Blackās voice lifted slightly.
"I heard you! I heard you!" Jane Sampson nodded repeatedly, "Three not allowed!"
Annoying or not? Annoying or not?
Hmph! Even if she sneaked some, he definitely wouldnāt find out!
Jane Sampson was happily thinking to herself that once she was in City S, with mountains high and the emperor far away, daddy Black wouldnāt be able to control her there!
"Donāt think I donāt know what youāre plotting," James Black flicked Jane Sampsonās forehead gently, then opened the car door and carried her straight down from the car.
Because it was only for a few days, Janeās suitcase wasnāt large. He opened the trunk, took out her suitcase, and then walked out of the underground parking lot, holding Janeās hand.
Jane let James lead her with one hand while swinging her carry-on with the other, and with a mischievous smirk, she mumbled, "When Iām not home, you canāt miss me too much, and even if you do, no crying. Crying wonāt help. Even if you cry your eyes out, I wonāt come back, so itās no use even if you cry yourself to death."
The corner of James Blackās mouth twitched imperceptibly. Not even the mask could hide her babble.
He couldnāt fathom where she got the bizarre idea that he would miss her.
A woman whoās always provoking annoyance, whatās there to miss? Thinking about how she could further annoy him, or even infuriate him to death?
By the airport entrance, there were already many people. Jane Sampson, worried about being recognized even with a mask in a crowd, didnāt let James continue to accompany her inside.
"Iām leaving," Jane Sampson turned and told James, then tugged at her hand held by his.
James Blackās expression wasnāt too pleased, he grunted but didnāt immediately let go. He only slowly released her hand when Jane could no longer pull away and looked up at him again.
Then he watched as his young wife happily swung her bag, bouncing forward with a restrained gait.
One glance and any sighted person would know that this girl was radiating happiness from every hair strand, a mood clearly indicating sheer joy.
Watching Jane Sampson move farther away, James turned to look at the other suitcase he was holding, then gazed forward again, and saw the previously bouncy, excited person suddenly stop, look down, scratch her head, turn a circle, and look back at him.
Finally, James couldnāt help but laugh softly to himself, "Silly daughter-in-law."
The silly daughter-in-law over there paused for a second, then, realizing something, bolted back towards him.
