Chapter 2799 Worthy Without Regret

"You deserve it, because you took on the risk that no one else dared to take." In his heart, James Black truly admired Old Sir Carter.

Old Sir Carter had shouldered a risk no one dared to bear. Faced with an outcome he had more or less already foreseen, he still never backed down.

In a moment of crisis, he hadn’t chosen to save only himself, so now, he rightfully enjoyed the glory.

The dinner was almost entirely made by Jane Sampson, so everyone was eating with great relish.

Even James Black couldn’t help having another bowl of meal.

Ever since Jane Sampson’s pregnancy, James Black really couldn’t bear to let Jane Sampson step into the kitchen again. He was afraid that if at some time she suddenly got sleepy and drowsy while chopping and cooking, she might accidentally hurt herself.

When Jane Sampson was accompanying him at the base, she was the only one in the dormitory. If she really did get hurt, it would be hard for him to discover it at the first time.

So James Black simply kept taking Jane Sampson to the dining hall to eat. The people over there knew about Jane Sampson’s pregnancy, so many times, without James Black having to say anything, they would specially prepare some nutritious meals for Jane Sampson.

Counting it up, it was indeed a long time since James Black had last eaten the meals cooked by Jane Sampson.

Maybe those who enjoy eating are just born with a pair of clever hands.

James Black turned his head to look at Jane Sampson, his brows and eyes carrying a pampering smile.

When he and Jane Sampson had just entered into marriage, he only felt responsibility toward her, no feelings. The first time he tasted the meals she made, James Black had been quite surprised by Jane Sampson’s excellent culinary skills.

Later he spent years at the base, busy with work every day. Jane Sampson wasn’t the clingy type either. The two of them hadn’t even added each other as friends on WhatsAPP; with no affairs he wouldn’t take the initiative to contact Jane Sampson, and Jane Sampson would even less take the initiative to give him a call.

So James Black would often, in this way, forget that he was married, that in the house there was still a wife. It was always because life after marriage and life before marriage were almost no different at all.

On the rare occasions he thought of Jane Sampson, it was either because Peter Gingery at the base mentioned Jane Sampson, or because while eating, he suddenly remembered coming home and the tableful of meals Jane Sampson had prepared for him, remembered the enjoyment that meal had brought to his taste buds, and then, from that, thought of her.

Most of the time when James Black went home to see Jane Sampson, apart from fulfilling his responsibility as a husband, part of the reason was that he wanted to go home and have a good meal.

After eating, everyone sat for a bit and then got in the car and set off toward the home stay in the suburb.

On the weekend, the road in Capital Province at half past seven was still jammed with cars. The driver was driving, but the car inched forward so slowly it was almost like a snail crawling.

It wasn’t until they got out of the third ring that the situation improved a little.

James Carter sat in the passenger seat, James Black and Jane sat in the rear seat. When they had just set out, Jane was still chattering away with James Carter, talking nonstop. After a while, when he noticed Jane had quieted down, James Carter turned his head to look back and saw that Jane, in James Black’s arms, had fallen asleep at some point.

"Honestly..." James Carter chuckled softly. "Her sleep is enviably good."

"She didn’t have a lunch break today, and she got up early in the morning, so she started feeling sleepy very early." James Black took out a blanket and spread it over Jane Sampson, then adjusted her position a bit so she was half lying against him and could sleep a little more comfortably.
