Chapter 642

Penulis: Happy Breadwinner
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.

    James glanced over. "Well, learn.""Fine," Beverly replied, reaching out to take the document.After giving them a slight nod, Wendell withdrew from the lounge and closed the door behind him.He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Vern, who was waiting outside, "You can go in and tend to Chief Bronson's wound later."Vern nodded in acknowledgment.Wendell then turned to Gwen, who stood nearby. "The Walton family is waiting for you downstairs. The engagement party has been moved to this evening."He raised his hand slightly, and an assistant placed a velvet box on his palm. "Dr. Parker, Chief Bronson and Mrs. Bronson send their blessings. This is a token of their goodwill."Gwen looked at the gift box in Wendell's hand, her nose suddenly prickled. She accepted it, knowing there was no room for negotiation anymore."Please convey my gratitude to them."She opened the box and glanced inside. It was an expensive sapphire necklace, one she'd seen before in a jewelry magazine.Gw

    Beverly lowered her gaze without responding. Her already fair complexion now carried a sickly pallor from being caught in the rain.James' eyes darkened. With a slight increase of pressure from the hand gripping Beverly's nape, his thin lips met her tender pink ones. He kissed her deeply, intent on giving her pleasure.Beverly had said that she went to Evan's hillside villa to discuss Esther's custody and visitation rights for the children and that she'd run into Gwen there.To James, that excuse was simply…Cold water droplets from the ends of Beverly's hair trailed down his slightly tensed wrist.He released her, watching as she appeared dazed from the kiss. Her cheeks flushed crimson as she bashfully lowered her gaze, her soft breaths coming in slight gasps.James moved his hand from the back of her neck to cradle her face, his thumb gently grazing her flushed lips."I'll play with you later," he said.He'd suddenly become so clingy. Upon hearing this, Beverly lowered her

    The storm howled with increasing fury.Beverly, nestled in James' arms, cupped his handsome face, now blurred before her eyes, with both hands."James, say it again. I didn't hear you," she shouted to him, her delicate voice strained and breaking.He brushed aside the damp strands of hair clinging to her forehead. The steady patter of rain washed over her fair face, cleansing it gently.His deep, affectionate gaze met her glistening, crystal-clear eyes.She was looking forward to him saying it—she truly was.Beverly, the most precious person on earth to him, had truly seen him.James' chest tightened, his tension reined in by deep restraint. Yet, his voice flowed clear and melodious as he said, "Beverly Sinclair.""Yeah?""I love you."Beverly chuckled, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rose onto her toes and kissed the corner of his mouth.Then, she replied softly, "I heard you clearly this time. Honey, I won't ever see Evan again."

    "Yes, she found out about it a couple of days ago," Gwen replied softly.Wanda knew about Beverly's condition and that she didn't have long to live. So she thought it was acceptable for Gwen to have James' child? Was that it?Beverly took a deep breath and suddenly remembered that when she first arrived at the base, James had inexplicably intervened in her life by insisting she learn how to swim.He'd told her that since they lived on an island, where typhoons and tsunamis could occur, not knowing how to swim would be troublesome.But the real reason was because she had a heart condition, and swimming could strengthen both her heart and lungs. And just that afternoon, he'd also mentioned that he'd arranged swimming lessons for her.Beverly lowered her head, tears dripping down her arms. In her mind's eye, she saw James' handsome, calm face.He'd known all along that she would die soon, and he'd shouldered it all alone, not wanting her to worry or be afraid."Don't let James know

    One day, James called William.On the other end of the line, his laughter was bright and lively. It was a sound William had never heard from him before."I met a girl, and it was love at first sight. She's amazing. Will, if war becomes digitalized and information-driven…"William knew he meant that no more soldiers would have to die in the field.But after that, William never heard James mention her again.Now, as he stood there and watched Beverly blow up the helicopter, William realized that the girl from back then was Beverly. How wonderful James must have felt to finally get the woman he'd loved for so long.If only it could last.…After a long silence, Beverly pushed Evan away and said in a low voice, "Give me some time to think it over. Hand Gwen over to me now."Evan released Beverly. Aside from cheating on her, he'd always accommodated her wishes about everything.Lucas brought the dazed-looking Gwen out. Her beautiful fox-like eyes had lost their spark. When she saw

    "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
