Chapter 242 Insisting on Getting Close to You
On the other end of the phone, Jennifer noticed that James had been silent for a while.
She asked concernedly, "Are you still listening?"
Hearing Jennifer's voice, James immediately shook off his reverie and returned to his senses, quickly saying, "Yes, I'm listening."
"Good, I thought you lost signal over there." Jennifer's voice was very gentle, the one James had never heard before. Suddenly, James felt that Jennifer was increasingly becoming like a wife. She would call to cheer him up in the middle of a conference and be the first to call and congratulate him after it ended.
James's mood softened as well. He even wanted to sprout wings and fly back immediately to share this joy with Jennifer.
To be honest, James's marriage to Jennifer was entirely arranged by his family. He had no feelings for Jennifer; at most, he didn't dislike her. In fact, for a long time, James had quite a negative impression of Jennifer because of her bad temper. She often humiliated him in front of others, leaving him no dignity. Although he knew this was a test set by his family, he really couldn't bring himself to like Jennifer.
However, through later interactions, James gradually got to know Jennifer more deeply. He understood that Jennifer's temper had its reasons and that she was essentially a kind person.
So, he slowly let go of his prejudices against Jennifer.
After spending more time together recently, Jennifer had changed significantly, and her attitude towards him had improved. James gradually accepted Jennifer and started to see her as his wife from the bottom of his heart.
James smiled and said, "Honey, thank you for your support. I'm very happy."
Jennifer was taken aback. She then smiled sweetly, completely shedding her usual aloof and cold demeanor. If anyone who knew her saw her like this, they would surely think they were hallucinating.
They never knew the cold beatuty, Jennifer, had such a gentle side.
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn, who was drawing the curtains in the room, saw Jennifer's smile on the balcony and was stunned. She quickly rubbed her eyes and. Realizing she wasn't hallucinating, she hurriedly pulled Dennis, who was applying medication nearby, over.
"Dennis, come and see this. Is this really Jennifer?" she asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"What is it that's so surprising?" Dennis, who was taking a pill, was pulled by Kaitlyn and accidentally dropped it. He felt upset and impatiently came over to look. Soon, his reaction was the same as Kaitlyn's. "This is really strange. Is this still Jennifer? When did Jennifer smile like this? Is she sick?"
Kaitlyn pushed Dennis discontentedly and scolded him. "What are you talking about? Don't curse! I think Jennifer is talking to James. Look at how sweet she looks."
"That's great," Dennis said excitedly.
However, Jennifer didn't know that her appearance had caused such a reaction from Dennis and Kaitlyn. In fact, she didn't even realize she was smiling so gently and sweetly.
"When do you plan to come back?" Jennifer asked, suddenly realizing how much she missed James and wanted to see him soon.
James was about to speak when he saw a graceful figure appear in front of him and walk towards him. His eyebrows twitched, and he instinctively turned around and walked away.
Harmony walked over excitedly, wanting to congratulate James properly. But when she saw that James didn't show any happiness upon seeing her and instead turned around and walked away, she was stunned.
She stomped her foot angrily and cursed inwardly.
'This annoying guy, am I that scary?!'
As she walked from the judges' table, she attracted a lot of attention. Many people were captivated by her stunning looks and noble, elegant demeanor. She was the center of attention, and many men would be thrilled to get a glance from her.
'How could James turn around and walk away upon seeing her?'
'James must be blind!'
'He is so annoying.'
Harmony yelled inside, holding a grudge against him.
She quickened her pace and walked over, getting closer and closer to James.
James's performance just now had not only impressed everyone present but had also won her over!
She had never seen a man as mysterious and excellent as James in her life, especially with that aura he had. She couldn't describe the feeling, but it was particularly attractive. If she had to describe it, it would have been like a black hole, drawing everything, even her heart.
What Harmony couldn't resist the most was James's charm, which grew stronger the more she interacted with him. The first time she met James, she disliked him, let alone had feelings for him. However, as time went on and they interacted more, she unknowingly started to like James bit by bit.
This liking even surpassed the barriers brought by her friendship with Jennifer. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't help herself.
Deep inside, a voice kept calling in her ear.
'You want to keep your distance from me? I will get close to you and drive you crazy.'
She didn't realize how dangerous and criminal her thoughts were.
After Jennifer finished speaking, she eagerly waited for James's response. But after a while, James still didn't say anything. She frowned and asked, "James, is it inconvenient for you to talk?"
"No, no, I'm just about to go to the bathroom. It's convenient," James immediately responded.
At the same time, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Harmony catching up, with an angry expression on her face. He immediately felt troubled.
Jennifer didn't know what was happening on his end. Hearing his words, she felt shy, thinking of a certain scene. She quickly shook her head and said, "Are you coming back tonight?"
James was about to speak when he suddenly realized he had unknowingly walked to a corner, and Harmony was very close, just a short distance away. He had no choice but to say to Jennifer, "I'm at the restroom now, a bit urgent. How about I call you back later?"
Jennifer felt a bit disappointed, but she didn't say much and considerately said, "Okay, I'm waiting for you."
As she said this, she suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
'What was I saying?' she exclaimed inwardly.
'Since when did Jennifer start making such jokes?' James was also taken aback.
But at this moment, Harmony had already arrived.
He didn't dare to say anything more. He knew that if Jennifer heard Harmony's voice, it would be bad.
