Chapter 721

作者: Happy Breadwinner
Moments before Evan stormed in, James held Beverly's hand and promised softly, "Honey, I won't pressure you anymore. Please don't be angry."

Beverly eyed him suspiciously. "The great Chief Bronson has a shady record, so your words aren't very trustworthy."

James couldn't help but laugh softly. He was finally on the receiving end of his own brand of teasing.

He gave her hand a gentle squeeze for being so petty.

"Then I'll behave well until you're satisfied. From now on, whatever you say goes. You're in charge at home."

Beverly withdrew her hand and muttered, "That's more like it."

She was looking at a plate of fried prawns in front of her when a pair of slender hands reached over.

James set the entire plate in front of him and unhurriedly put on disposable gloves. Then, he began shelling the prawns, leaving everyone at the table stunned.

They saw James as someone who'd been pampered since young. And now, given his even more distinguished status, he had every need attended to.

  • You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise   Chapter 752

    James didn't take Beverly home, but to see an orthopedic hand specialist instead so she could have the wound on her hand treated again.As they sat in the backseat of the car, James held Beverly's hand and eyed her darkly. "Why did you leave with Evan's men?"He'd thought she would be safe as long as Kyle was with her, but she'd unexpectedly gotten hurt. James couldn't shake his paranoia after that and had his men tail her.His men had watched as Evan's bodyguards approached Beverly. They'd wanted to interfere and stop the men, only to be caught off guard when Beverly slid into the bodyguards' car on her own.Beverly had wanted to demand answers from Evan, but she'd run into Cindy before she could even meet Evan."I… wanted to punish Cindy. She's my half-sister from my father's side and also Evan's mistress. She ruined my marriage and my family and broke my heart. I didn't want to let her get away so easily, so I left with Evan's bodyguards."Beverly burrowed her face in James' c

    Beverly had planned on just enduring it, but she also didn't want to be bullied any longer.James' gaze swept over her from head to toe. Seeing blood seeping through the white bandages around her injured hand, he said softly, "Come here."Only then did Beverly slowly walk toward him. In the next instant, she was enveloped in his broad, warm embrace.Feeling the rise and fall of his chest, she heard him ask, "Honey, are you hurt anywhere?"His large hand rested directly on Beverly's lower abdomen. She looked up at him in shock.He knew.She stared into his eyes for a long moment before shaking her head. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. His warm fingers brushed the cold skin of her face, the tears sliding onto his fingertips as he wiped them away."Shall we go?" he asked.Beverly nodded, letting out a soft hum in response. A stinging ache filled her nose, but at the same time, a trace of warmth bloomed in her heart.If he hadn't known, how could he have come here? Jam

    However, at that very moment, Beverly grabbed Cindy's hand. She pushed it away and pulled the needle out. The effort sent a sharp throb through her bandaged, injured hand, making her frown."Ms. Sinclair?" Marcus, who was preparing to perform the abortion procedure, yelped in surprise. "You… How did you…""You weren't fully drugged?" Cindy shrieked. "What are those bodyguards even doing? Someone, come in here and hold her down!"The operating room door was immediately pushed open by Lucas.Beverly got off the operating table, clutching the needle in her hand as she approached Cindy.For some reason, even though the two women were more or less the same height and Beverly was particularly frail at the moment, Cindy still felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Beverly stalk toward her with a needle in hand. She instinctively took a step back in fear.Terrified, she lashed out at Lucas. "Are you all idiots? Don't you know what Evan ordered you all to do? Come here and hold he

    James leaned down and whispered in Beverly's ear, his voice low, husky, and magnetic. "I like it."Beverly stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the lips.She'd been alarmed when she found that all her high heels had disappeared. She'd thought James had discovered she was pregnant and that was why he'd forbidden her from wearing heels. A small, inexplicable flicker of hope had even stirred in her. If James knew about the pregnancy and was being so cautious that he wouldn't even let her wear high heels, did that mean he'd changed his mind? Was he willing to accept this baby?Still, it was best that he hadn't found out at all.All of Beverly's teasing immediately elicited a certain, involuntary reaction from James.After helping her change into another pair of shoes and walking her out to the car, he immediately instructed Kathy to throw out every single pair of high heels in the manor. He didn't want this baby, nor was he going to permit her to carry it to term, but he also wasn

    "You're still not admitting it?" James asked.His hand slid from Beverly's chest to her back, cushioning her so she wouldn't press uncomfortably against the hard backrest. Then he leaned down and kissed her lips gently.He heard her gasp softly, taking a sharp intake of breath. He leaned in lower, burying his face in the crook of her neck. His warm breaths filled her ear, accompanied by his gentle murmur."Be good.""Have you forgiven me?""When was I ever mad at you?""Then who kissed my lips until they were swollen?" Beverly asked, touching her lips lightly. "It still hurts a little."James' gaze immediately fell on her lips, and his heart stirred. He kissed the side of her neck. "You petty little thing.""You're not the only one allowed to hold grudges," Beverly huffed softly.Unable to handle his kisses anymore, she turned her head slightly, and her eyes met his smoldering gaze. She cupped his face as she leaned in closer, pressing a kiss on the tip of his nose."It doesn

    James strode toward the bathroom quickly. Not even two minutes later, he emerged in a robe and walked into the small living room.There, he found Beverly and Kyle sitting on the couch, their expressions serious.Beverly clutched her chest, taking deep, rapid breaths. Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were red-rimmed. When she saw James suddenly approaching, she quickly loosened the grip on her shirt and flashed him a smile."I'm just having a chat with Kyle.""It's getting late," James said."Then we'll talk tomorrow. You both get some rest," Kyle said, standing. "I don't have money to pay rent, so I'll just crash downstairs for now. I'll move out when I find a place."Beverly glanced at the watch on Kyle's wrist and recognized the logo. It was worth at least 200 thousand dollars. "Kyle, you've already sold your car… Aren't you going to sell your watch too?"Kyle inwardly cursed her for being heartless. He snuck a glance at James, silently hoping he would back him up."It
