Chapter 599

“It was nothing. He just wanted to know if I was free to help him out with something,” James replied indifferently.

Kristie grabbed his arm and exclaimed with a frown, “Well, you're not free because you need to keep me company! Jeremy has lots of friends, so why does he keep coming to you for help? Besides, you've only just returned from a long trip overseas! Don't you miss me at all? Don't you want to stay and cuddle with me?”

James held her hand and flashed her a reassuring smile. “Don't worry; I turned him down. So, what would you like to eat when we get back?”

“Mango pudding!”

“I thought you said you wanted to go on a diet? Shouldn't you lay off the desserts? They're quite fattening, you know?”

Kristie pinched him on the arm and said angrily, “I know I talked about going on a diet, but you should never tell me what I can or cannot eat! That's highly disrespectful!”

“All right, all right, I'm sorry.” James decided to keep quiet to avoid offending her any further.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Kristie said, “I'm so jealous of Rayna! She has a handsome husband and three adorable babies! Her life is practically perfect!”

“Yes, those babies are indeed adorable.”

Kristie then turned around and eyed him from head to toe with a deep frown, only to break into a smile seconds later.

James let out a chuckle when he saw that. “What's on your mind? What's with that sudden change in facial expression?”

“Hmph! I'm not telling you!” Kristie replied with a mischievous snort.

She was actually wondering what she would do if their children turned out ugly like him, but then she figured they would probably inherit her good looks anyway.

Wrapping her arms around his, Kristie said, “Make sure to treat me well and spoil me like a princess, okay? I'm the only woman out there who'll accept a man like you.”

James held her hand up to his mouth and gave it a kiss as he replied, “You have always been my princess, and you always will be. I will spoil you for the rest of our lives.”


Kristie was so caught off guard that she didn't know what to say in response.

After taking a moment to think about what he said, she got angry and asked, “Wait, are you saying you're spoiling some other woman in your next life?”

When she didn't get a response from him, Kristie continued with a pout, “So that's what you plan on doing! Good thing you're not as handsome as Curt, then. Otherwise, you'd probably have a ton of wives!”

James looked out the window and brought the car to a halt all of a sudden. Then, without warning, he unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to give Kristie a passionate kiss that lasted a few minutes.

He gently caressed her blushing cheeks and whispered, “I'll love you in every life I live, so don't you worry.”

“Okay...” Kristie nodded shyly.

Noticing that the car was parked in a secluded spot in the underground parking lot, she wrapped her arms around James and nuzzled against his chest.

She then pinned him against his seat and asked, “Want to give it a go?”

James froze for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “I heard you've spent quite a lot of time shopping with Ms. Garland today. After that, you headed over to Curtis' place to play with the kids. Aren't you tired?”

“I wasn't the one carrying the shopping bags, so I'm not tired at all!” Kristie shot him a fierce glare as she continued, “Why are you turning me down? Have you been seeing other women while you were abroad?”

“What are you thinking?”

“You've been gone for over two months! I can't help but get a little worried, you know?” Kristie mumbled with a pout while unbuttoning his shirt.

James grabbed her hands and said, “Hey, cut it out. We can do this after we enter the house.”

“Oh, come on! Just this once! Don't you find this fun and exciting? This parking spot is pretty secluded, so it's perfectly safe!” Kristie exclaimed excitedly.

James was speechless at how persistent and sudden her amorous advances were.

The next morning, Kristie was woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Kristie tried burying her head underneath her pillow, but the sound was so loud that she could still hear it. Eventually, she had no choice but to throw on a T-shirt and open the door.

“Don't you have a key, Mdm. Lovett?” she asked while still half-asleep.

As Larissa had been looking after her for the past two months, it was only natural for Kristie to assume it was her at the door.

It wasn't until Kristie rubbed her eyes and saw the person clearly that she realized it was a tall, young man holding something in his hands.

Kristie froze for a few seconds and asked in confusion, “Who are you? Do you have the wrong house or something?”

“Put some slippers on. The floor is really cold in the morning. I forgot to bring my keys when I left the house today,” James said as he placed a pair of slippers next to her before carrying the groceries into the kitchen.

Having finally come to her senses, Kristie turned around and followed him into the kitchen. “Hey! How could you just barge into someone else's house without asking for permission? Who are you?”

“James Griffith.”

“Huh? James Griffith? Who are—” Kristie mumbled, only to gasp in shock when she recalled who James was.
