Chapter 376

Autor: Happy Breadwinner
Beverly's unhappiness was her own problem. She was the one who didn't want James, yet she couldn't stand seeing him with other women.

She knew it was her issue, so she shouldn't be angry. Besides, even if it wasn't Sally, there would eventually be someone else.

"Do you believe me now?" James asked softly.

Beverly nodded.

James gently pinched her cheek, his mood clearly better now.

But then, he heard her say, "Chief, I'm the one in the wrong. I shouldn't have given you attitude. Even if it were a personal matter between you two, it would be normal. After all, we're already div—"

James cupped her chin and kissed her lips.

Fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the sky while cheers and excited screams filled the air around them.

Beverly pressed her hands against James' chest as his face leaned close to hers, his lips brushing against the corner of her mouth.

"Don't say things you shouldn't," he murmured in a low voice thick with restrained desire.

Only then did Beverly realize how man

    Beverly thought about the police officers earlier. From the looks of it, the cops were keeping tabs on Evan. She ruffled Esther's hair and said, "Why don't you play downstairs with Maya and Kathy? Be good and don't run off on your own, okay?"Esther wrapped her arms around Beverly's neck, ever the obedient young lady as she pecked her mother's cheek. "Mommy, sandbox. I want to play in the sandbox.""Go on, then." Beverly nodded at Maya and Kathy, who'd come out to greet them. She watched as the two older women took Esther to the neighborhood playground.Beverly had just reached the company entrance when her phone rang. She answered the call."Everything went splendidly," Beverly announced to James, her soft, sweet voice ringing out on the other end like a bell chime.James leaned into the office chair. "Really?""Of course. I'm not surprised, given who Esther's father is." Beverly recalled the shock on the teachers' faces when they saw the recommendation letter and how they'd g

    Beverly could pick up on Evan's cedar scent every time he drew near. She immediately shook off his grip, the fresh wound from the scar removal last night throbbing from the effort.She reached toward Esther in the car seat and tidied up the little girl's braids, saying patiently, "Make sure to answer the teacher's questions, okay?"Esther nodded. When she spotted Evan standing behind Beverly, she tugged the corners of her eyes downward and stuck her tongue out at him, rolling her eyes. The funny face was meant to be insulting, but it ended up looking endearing and quirky."Bev, don't you remember Dr. Crane? He'd treated you before. He was the physician who read your pulse at the Bronson estate last night," Evan urged, then watched as Beverly picked up Esther, who was still pulling funny faces, and brushed past him into the school without sparing him a glance.She was determined to ignore him.Evan blocked her way. "Bev, I brought Dr. Crane here today. He'll tell you in person that

    Eric clutched Evan's hand, silently willing him to calm down. "Yes, I met her. I came to Ravenwell courtesy of the Bronsons' invite, all so they could have me regulate and form a treatment plan for their daughter-in-law."The elderly physician paused before adding emphatically, "I was asked to stay for 18 days."He was like a nomad and hardly stayed put in one place for more than three days."How's Bev doing?" Heather interjected anxiously.Eric hesitated for a heartbeat. He wasn't supposed to divulge another patient's private information, but he was worried after seeing how anxious Heather and Evan were, especially considering the lies Wanda had instructed him to tell Beverly."Mrs. Bronson isn't doing well, but her condition isn't catastrophic, and she isn't ill. She'll be fine, but if she were to get pregnant, there would be a great risk of death for her."Upon hearing this, Evan released Eric, and Heather fell back on the couch in shock."Mrs. Bronson Senior…" Eric began slo

    James kissed Beverly as he carried her into the manor. By the time he set her down on the bed, her face had turned beet-red.The entire room had been decorated in white and shades of red, including the sheets and silk quilt. There were also rose petals scattered everywhere, not to mention a "Just Married" sticker plastered on the window.A wedding dress and a tailcoat with a round-collared robe hung from the clothes rack, both custom-made for their wedding. Beverly glanced back at James to find him standing still before her, waiting for her to take it all in.The moment she dropped her gaze, he cupped her delicate face with one hand, forcing her to look up. A flush stole across her cheeks, and with his free hand, he brushed away her tousled hair to reveal her pretty face.She lifted her gaze and met his just as tears spilled from her eyes. All she could think about was his indifference toward her the last two days.James' heart softened, as did his eyes. He lowered himself just a

    Half an hour later, Beverly entered the wing. She scanned James' impassive face, her eyes full of complicated emotions, then lowered her gaze as she reached for the graduation certificate."Thank you, Chief Bronson," she said in a low voice after she'd gotten the graduation certificate.James made no reply.Beverly's eyes turned red with tears. She looked down and headed out with the certificate in hand. She'd only just reached the doorway when Wanda entered. "It's getting late, and your hand's still in bandages. Driving will be a chore. Why not just stay here for the night?"A hush descended in the wing. No one moved a muscle or said a word."Kathy's gone over to babysit Esther for the night, so don't worry about it," Wanda said, having taken the liberty to make such arrangements beforehand. "Kathy will be working for you from now on."Wanda slid an arm around Beverly's slender waist, as if measuring it. "You've lost quite a bit of weight, yet it's only been a few days since I l

    "What a coincidence. We were just about to leave as well," Wendell said as he approached Beverly. "There's a problem with Chief Bronson's car, so we had it sent for repair."Damien took out his car key. "You could take my car.""No, thanks, Professor Reed. There's three of us, and taking two cars will be a hassle," Wendell said. "Besides, you're taking Timmy to school tomorrow. It'll be tough to get through Ravenwell's morning rush hour without a car."The moment James looked over, Beverly lowered her gaze and walked out. She got into the driver's seat and started the ignition.Wendell opened the door to the passenger seat, and James eased into the car. At once, his distinct scent filled the car.Beverly rolled down the window to let in the cool breeze. She waited until Wendell had gotten into the backseat before steering the car away from the villa neighborhood.She heard James going through documents beside her, the sound of pages turning filling her ears. The subtle scent of
