Chapter 205

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Up ahead, Taylor muttered to Wendell, "Professor Reed's guest is really weird and even a little creepy. They're still talking upstairs."

"The people Professor Reed comes in contact with are all big shots in the scientific community. It's normal that you don't understand their academic jargon," Wendell teased.

"That's true. The guest seemed really capable and even slightly mysterious. Typical of a big-shot researcher, I guess."

James walked beside Beverly. The cuff of his white shirt brushed softly against the elbow-length sleeve of her dress. He asked softly, "Shall we link arms?"

"Okay."

Beverly noticed his gaze shift toward the front door, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as he spoke. Realizing Harvey and Wanda were waiting outside, she hooked her arm through his.

Through the thin, soft fabric, their skin subtly grazed each other. They walked out of the villa side by side, greeted Harvey and Wanda, who were sitting in the car, and then got into the black sedan.

    "Don't let Chief Bronson leave," Wendell ordered.Rain slowly soaked through James' white shirt and dampened his soft, short hair. He brushed the wet strands back from his forehead, revealing a mature, stern face.His gaze swept over Wendell's fearful yet determined expression, then moved past the special forces blocking his way.Suddenly, he let out a soft laugh tinged with resignation. "Come on then, stop me. Let's see how much you've improved."He stood there, his usual imposing presence reined in. He'd always shown immense patience toward his own soldiers.What a pity Beverly wasn't there to see how handsome he looked even when he fought.The special forces team leader, Julian Swanson, set aside his rifle and stepped forward.James gave a faint, challenging smirk. "Bring it on. Let me see what you're made of."Frowning, Julian took a stance and lunged at James with a hook aimed straight for his abdomen.James stepped back with a smirk.By the time he finished taking down

    Dark clouds drifted over and gathered above Beverly and Evan's heads. Then, a light drizzle began to fall, veiling them in a fine mist and blurring their faces in each other's gaze.Evan held Beverly's hand, his eyes filled with sorrow as he kept speaking to her.Beverly lowered her beautiful eyes. Her dark, thick lashes veiled the depths of her gaze, hiding every hint of emotion.It was her shoulders that trembled first, then the pain spread through her entire body.She was so petite—no matter how much she ate, she never seemed to gain weight. How could she when she'd been taking medication all the time? Worst yet, she'd never even known about it.Beverly stood trembling before the imposing Evan like a pitiful, homeless creature backed into a corner.The rain grew heavier, enveloping them in a haze.With a forceful move, Evan pulled Beverly into his embrace and held her tightly against him."Only I can save you," he whispered in her ear. "When you were 16 years old, I pulled y

    After leaving the government complex by car, Beverly was on her way to Skyscape Tech when she received a call from Anna."Why would you give a gift like that without giving me a heads-up first? It was so embarrassing," Beverly said."What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just normal fun. So, how did it go? James loved it, didn't he?""No, he didn't," Beverly grumbled.Anna practically roared through the phone, "He didn't like it? Is he even a man? Don't tell me you two still haven't done it? Is he even capable of doing it?""Could you keep it down a little?" Beverly said helplessly."James, he… You're already on your second marriage, and if a man doesn't get what he wants at home, he'll go out looking. Do you understand what I'm saying?"Beverly was speechless. What kind of outrageous talk was this?"Hey, say something. Let me get you something else to spice things up." Anna felt that Beverly's love life was hanging by a thread, and she was desperately praying for their ma

    James held Beverly's pliant body close as he brushed aside her disheveled, long hair."Anna picked it out," Beverly murmured.As soon as the name left her lips, James gave her slender waist a deliberate, not-too-gentle squeeze.Beverly trembled slightly and laid limp against James' shoulder. "You already have everything, so I truly didn't know what to give you. And Anna said this was a gift all men would like."She rested her forehead against the curve of his neck and asked pitifully, "Why didn't you like it?""Honey, don't question my ability. I'm quite eager as it is, so I don't need any of those things to get in the mood," James replied in a low voice full of tender affection. Not only was his voice husky, but it was also very pleasing to the ear.He caressed Beverly's soft, pale skin. How could those messy scraps of fabric possibly be comfortable to wear?Beverly flushed with embarrassment, the rosy hue spreading from her cheeks all the way down her neck."Who's questioning

    James brought Beverly's soft hand to his lips and kissed it lightly."I'll do my best," he said in a voice heavy with emotion.Three years, five years, ten years—a shadow seemed to fall over his eyes."It's summer now. I've arranged swimming lessons for you," he said softly."But haven't I already learned?""You're not very good at it though.""What's wrong with my swimming?""You can't outswim me.""But you swim like a fish!" Beverly exclaimed with a frown.James chuckled, then picked up the gift box from the coffee table. "What is it?""You'll know once you open it." Beverly tugged at the ribbon with both hands.Just then, there was a knock on the door."Come in," James called out.Ramon entered with a tray of food and carefully placed it on the coffee table.James watched Beverly intently and patiently as she fumbled with the box. It seemed like she was even more eager than he was.Beverly untied the ribbon and opened the box. She was dying to know what it could be th

    Beverly's face was exquisitely lovely, and her complexion was fair. Dark, luxurious lashes swept like butterfly wings above eyes as clear and deep as a lake, where a shy smile seemed to shimmer in the changing light.When James didn't respond to her, she slowly reached out and tugged gently at his sleeve."Are you busy?" she asked.Beverly noticed the people waiting behind James. She'd expected as much. She held out the box in her hand toward him."I'll leave you to it then. Bye."Having worked for James for years, she knew exactly how he looked when he was busy. That was why she'd hesitated earlier.She'd only come over to give James the gift. Since she'd already bought it, she figured she might as well hand it over and leave right after.Beverly's radiant reflection shone in James' clear, dark eyes. Suddenly, those dark irises brightened, as if light had broken into their depths.He reached out and wrapped an arm around her slender waist. The sweet, familiar scent of her fill
