Chapter 181 I Finally Found You
Suddenly, Jennifer felt a twinge in her nose, a sign of impending tears.
"Sorry," Jennifer looked at James and said softly, her tone tinged with guilt.
James was taken aback, somewhat at a loss. He didn't understand the sudden "sorry" from Jennifer.
"Why are you apologizing?" he asked.
However, Jennifer did not answer directly. Instead, she took a deep breath, her expression becoming resolute, and she walked step by step towards James.
James was puzzled. As Jennifer approached, he kept retreating until he was backed against the wall with nowhere to go.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Jennifer placed one hand against the wall, her enchanting eyes staring intently at James. Her breathing was slightly rapid, and the proximity caused her breath to brush against James's face.
James became even more flustered, his heart racing to the extreme.
His mouth was dry, and his body temperature rose. As a normal man, it was impossible not to feel something in such a situation. Yet, despite this, James dared not make a move.
Jennifer stared at him for half a minute. Her mind raced with thoughts, including their five years of daily interactions, scene by scene.
"James," Jennifer said.
"I'm here." James nodded in response.
"Let's have a child," Jennifer said with sincerity.
"What?" James was instantly dumbfounded.
Jennifer's face was flushed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, indicating her nervousness. But despite her nerves, she was not as hesitant as before. With the greatest courage of her life, she moved to kiss James.
Upon seeing her intention, James's eyes widened in shock.
He couldn't understand why Jennifer suddenly wanted to have a child with him.
To be honest, during the five years of their marriage, it was impossible for James not to be tempted to sleep with Jennifer. Facing the beautiful and voluptuous Jennifer every day was impossible for an energetic man like James, who remained indifferent.
But because of his status, the burden of his family's mission, and Jennifer's dislike and rejection of him, he had always restrained his desires.
Now, faced with the seductive and inviting Jennifer, James had a sexual desire, but that didn't mean he would blindly have a child with her.
He had never been a man ruled by his lower instincts.
His first thought was that Jennifer decided to have a child with him was under pressure from her parents.
Even as Jennifer's red lips were about to touch his, he turned his head to avoid her kiss.
Jennifer, failing to kiss James, opened her eyes and looked at him.
James was also looking at her.
"What do you mean?" Jennifer's face looked displeased, biting her lip.
"Your parents are forcing you to do this, aren't they?" James sighed.
Jennifer said, "Why do you think it's my parents forcing me?"
James smiled wryly. "Isn't it obvious? You hate me so much. If it weren't for them, why would you want to have a child with me?"
Jennifer wanted to tell James out loud that he was overthinking, but the words that came out were. "Are you so insecure about yourself?"
Her tone was filled with sarcasm.
Sensing the sarcasm in her voice, Jennifer immediately regretted it. She hadn't meant to be sarcastic, but why did her words come out with such a sarcastic tone?
James lowered his head, silent for a few seconds, and then looked up again with a smile. "It's late. Let's get some sleep."
With that, he tried to call this an end.
However, at that moment, Jennifer suddenly hooked her arm around his neck and pushed him back against the wall, pressing their bodies tightly together.
When he felt Jennifer's body, James's muscles instantly tensed.
"Jennifer, you..." He widened his eyes in surprise.
Jennifer's face was flushed. It was the first time in her life she had been so proactive.
As things progressed to this point, her mind was no longer clear. She was somewhat lost, having lost much of her rationality, and was slowly being controlled by her emotions. She saw conquering James as a task she had to complete.
Jennifer said, "This is my own decision; it has nothing to do with them."
Jennifer stared intently at James. "Haven't you been longing for this for a long time? I'm fulfilling your wish now, aren't you happy?"
"I..." James opened his mouth, feeling confused. Indeed, he had been longing for this for a long time. So why, now that it was actually happening, was he feeling a bit scared?
What exactly was he afraid of or what was he concerned about?
Just then, James's phone rang with a message that broke the intimate atmosphere between them.
"Should I check who sent the message?" James asked tentatively.
Jennifer said, "Okay."
In truth, James didn't really want to check the message; perhaps it was something unimportant.
Jennifer also knew this. After being interrupted several times, her once-strong resolve was no longer as courageous.
James casually picked up his phone, unlocked it, and tapped on the message.
In the next second, his previously indifferent gaze instantly focused and narrowed to a point.
His breathing became rapid.
This wasn't an unimportant message; it was from an unknown number, and it read: [James, I finally found you. You can't escape now.]
After reading this message, a woman's image immediately appeared in his mind.
James couldn't help but gasp, shivering. How did that woman find out his number? And she had found him. This was big trouble.
Upon thinking of that woman's methods, James's mind was in turmoil.
The desire aroused by Jennifer's teasing vanished completely at that moment.
He couldn't help but glance back at Jennifer. If that woman found out he was married now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
'No!' he exclaimed inwardly.
He knew that he couldn't let that woman find him, no matter at what cost.
James quickly typed a reply: [You have the wrong person.]
Then he deleted the number, blocked it, and turned off his phone.
Jennifer didn't notice James's unusual behavior. She thought for a moment, then walked over and was about to speak when James said, "I'm not feeling well today. Let's do this another time."
Jennifer's expression froze, and she mechanically nodded, then silently returned to bed and covered herself with the blanket.
She couldn't describe how she felt.
It was the first time that she had taken the initiative, but she was rejected.
