Chapter 2811 - 2829: I Don’t Need You to Keep Me Company

But looking at the pitifully washed green vegetables, Jane Sampson was so disgusted that she drove everyone out of the kitchen, leaving only James Black to help her.

"Alexander Forest, what on earth did you wash? You’re just getting in the way standing there, go out and play." Seeing Alexander Forest lingering by the water pool without leaving, Jane Sampson irritably waved him away.

"Even if you glare at me today, I still won’t go out." Alexander Forest, feeling frustrated, vented his anger on the innocent green vegetables in his hands. He washed them, scrubbed them hard, and the fragile green vegetables broke just like that.

"Going out to see George Gates laughing and chatting with Nina Rice makes me feel uneasy." Alexander Forest said, stretching his neck to look out the window, only to find that George Gates and Nina Rice were no longer sitting in the courtyard, so he couldn’t see them.

Not seeing them just made him feel more uneasy inside.

"I shouldn’t have come today; coming here is just seeking trouble for myself." Alexander Forest threw the green vegetables onto the water pool, "James Black, take a walk with me. If I stay here any longer, I’ll suffocate."

"Then go ahead and suffocate." James Black ruthlessly jabbed at Alexander Forest’s heart, "My wife is here, why should I go out walking with you?"

"You go take a walk with him." Jane Sampson nudged James Black’s arm, "I’m busy here, you don’t need to stay and keep me company."

Jane Sampson knew that Alexander Forest was in a bad mood and feeling down.

On one side was her best sister, and on the other was Alexander Forest, a good friend; she couldn’t console either side.

Seeing Alexander Forest upset and wanting James Black to take a walk with him, Jane could only persuade James Black to take a walk with him to relax.

Otherwise, if he really went crazy, Alexander Forest might do something inexplicable.

James Black furrowed his brows, glanced at Jane Sampson, and seeing her desperately making eye signals at him, he reluctantly agreed with a grunt.

"I’ll go out for a while then." James Black lowered his head, kissed Jane Sampson on the forehead, and then left the kitchen with Alexander Forest.

George Gates and Nina Rice were standing in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight, chatting. When James Black and Alexander Forest went out, Nina Rice was discussing some legal matters with George Gates.

The two were so engrossed in their talk that they didn’t even notice James Black and Alexander Forest leaving.

The spring sunlight was undoubtedly warm, but the moment Alexander Forest stepped out the main gate, his heart still felt as cold as the coldest days of winter.

The cold wind was blowing harshly against his heart.

"I just don’t get it. How can a man she barely knows, whom she just met for the first time a few days ago, be so charming? So charming that the moment she sees him, they end up talking endlessly?" The moment Alexander Forest started speaking, he sounded just like a resentful wife.

"George Gates is good at finding topics that Nina Rice is interested in. Before one topic is finished, he already leads into the next one, naturally, they’ll have endless things to talk about." James Black said, "George Gates understands Nina Rice quite well."

If he didn’t understand her, there is no way he could find so many topics that interest Nina Rice.

Even with shared interests, there has to be an initial understanding and deliberate topic leading, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to talk for so long without a break. "If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn’t believe Nina Rice is such a talkative person. Huh, when she’s with me, if she’s not glaring at me, then she’s pretending to be mute and ignoring me, while with George Gates, she has endless things to talk about."

Alexander Forest, feeling unwell, kicked the stones underfoot with each step he took.
