Chapter 2410: Chapter 2418: I Miss You So Much
Whenever Peter Gingery thinks about the scenario he had anticipated at first, he still feels a lingering sense of unease, which is why he wants to eavesdrop outside the study.
"He’s getting older, his body isn’t as good as before. I won’t argue with him to provoke his emotions." Although James Black deliberately annoyed Old Master Black a bit in the study, it was just a playful verbal exchange.
Old Master Black acted angry, but he didn’t take it to heart.
Old Master Black raised and nurtured him, took him away from the Miller Family, cared for him, and nurtured him. Even if James Black was angry about this matter, he wouldn’t disregard Old Master Black’s health.
When the two returned to the guard team, it was already late, but James Black was still waiting for Jane Sampson’s call.
He waited until 10:30 to finally receive Jane Sampson’s call.
Not surprisingly, Jane Sampson, Coco Edwards, Harry Little Money, and James Carter were definitely at the card table.
If it weren’t for work tomorrow, Jane Sampson would have dragged the other three to play all night long.
"Did you win?" Upon answering the phone and hearing Jane Sampson’s barely concealed laughter, James Black’s heart felt softened.
"I won, I won. My luck was amazing tonight. After it’s over, when I calculated, I actually won more than 200 bucks." The change Jane Sampson won is still scattered across the tabletop.
Everyone plays for fun, so they play small stakes. Winning a lot means one or two hundred bucks, and losing a lot doesn’t exceed 100 bucks.
Although Jane Sampson spent more than two hours playing overnight and just won over 200 bucks, her card luck was good, and naturally, Jane Sampson was in high spirits.
She laughed over the phone with James Black all evening about James Carter’s lousy card luck, then asked about the Black Residence’s evening affairs.
Learning that Old Master Black decided to send the two children back, Jane Sampson paused.
She immediately felt a confusion similar to Peter Gingery’s.
What’s this fuss about?
"You saw the two children tonight, right? Quite well-behaved young siblings." Jane Sampson tentatively asked.
"Hmm, they are more well-behaved than you were as a child." James Black laughed.
"???" Jane Sampson, feeling like she was innocently caught in the crossfire, felt a pang in her knee.
She couldn’t refute it because it was the truth.
Before she turned ten, she was indeed famously fierce inside the great courtyard.
Listening to Jane Sampson’s dissatisfied grumbling on the phone, at this moment, James Black wished he could reach out past the phone, across thousands of miles, and hold his girl.
Smell the fragrance of her hair.
Today, he found himself missing her so much.
"Jane." James Black suddenly spoke, calling Jane Sampson’s name, "Come back soon, I miss you very much."
He called her name very earnestly and spoke to her very seriously.
I miss you very much.
Jane Sampson abruptly paused.
This was James Black’s first, his life’s first time, using such a tone to tell her, I miss you very much.
Before, it was always her clinging to him, asking if he missed her, and he would only respond with a hum.
Jane Sampson suddenly realized that returning to the Black Residence this time, James Black is indeed not happy inside.
However, he didn’t tell her, nor did he let Old Master Black know.
Jane Sampson could guess faintly why James Black was unhappy.
Because, James Black might feel that Old Master Black has quietly let his mother’s death go.
Yet James Black himself is unable to let go.
In James Black’s heart, Old Master Black should be just like him, forever hating every member of the Miller Family, every person connected to the Miller Family, in both his and Old Master Black’s hearts, they should all be adversaries.
James Black managed it himself.
However, Old Master Black did not act as James Black thought.
