Jane Sampson shook her head, then leaned her body against James Blackās leg.
Thereās a fan in front blowing with a hum, and James is still using a paper fan to help her, yet the blazing sun at three or four oāclock makes it hot even in the shaded area, making Jane long for the autumn in Capital Province.
Jane pillow her head on James Blackās knee, looking up at him. Handsome men look good even from this angle.
Jane reached out and touched Jamesā beard, because she liked it, so James hadnāt shaved his hair and beard yet. The beard on his chin is like Janeās new toy, when idle, she likes to reach out and touch it.
When Coco Edwards and Harry Little Money returned angrily, what they saw was such an eye-catching scene.
"Why are you two so angry?" Jane Sampson gave Coco and Harry a bit of her gaze, "What did you run into?"
"Itās not us being angry, itās really infuriating." Coco Edwards said in a small voice, "I donāt know who started it, spreading rumors, saying they saw you coming out of Mr. Carterās room early this morning in pajamas and returning to your own room. Harry and I heard people whispering about it in the restroom. Isnāt it maddening? Why are some people so foul-mouthed?"
"Also, they said you..." Coco almost lost her mind from anger, fortunately, her rationality returned quickly, and she didnāt say everything out loud.
"Early this morning?" Jane Sampson sat up, "I woke up early in the morning to deliver aloe vera juice to Brother James Carter. That stuff is good for sunburn, and it was brought by James Black."
"You woke up then? So it is early in the morning." Coco Edwards nodded, "Just delivering things, whoever saw it doesnāt care if their mouth rots from spreading nonsense?"
"Exactly, Mr. Black is here. If Mr. Black isnāt here, would more people believe it?" Harry Little Moneyās temper is such that she almost wants to slam the table from rage.
"Some people have dirty minds, saying Sister Jane, you took advantage of Mr. Black being asleep to sneak into Mr. Carterās room for a tryst, even saying you might have drugged Mr. Black with sleeping pills, thatās why he didnāt notice and slept deeply." Harry Little Money stood there stomping her feet in anger.
"Did you run into someone when you went out to delivery this morning?" James Black turned and asked Jane Sampson.
"I ran into Stella Carter." Jane thought for a moment, "I was about to return to my room when I met Stella Carter outside, and she greeted me."
"Then it must be her!" Coco Edwards didnāt like Stella Carter from the first glance, "She doesnāt live on this floor, so what was she doing there so early?"
"Could it be a case of guilty person calls out? She saw you run into her, so sheās afraid youād tell, so she doused you with dirty water first?" The more Coco guessed, the more she felt she might have figured out the truth.
"Look at her, sheās such a white lotus! That kind of woman! Truly annoying!" The more Coco Edwards spoke, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she scolded.
The director was already calling for work to start, Jane Sampson didnāt have time to ask more questions, nor to say anything, she sorted her thoughts and went over. After Jane left, James Black finally stared at Coco Edwards, asking seriously, "What were you saying earlier? What else was left unsaid?"
Coco Edwardsā expression clearly changed, shook her head, "Nothing, just that."
