CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 1517 - 1525: The Takeaway Has Arrived

But James Black’s one sentence immediately made Jane Sampson laugh.

On the phone, her laughter was soft, but it was genuine and real.

James Black let out a slight sigh of relief.

It’s good that she can still laugh—it means she can still be cheered up.

Jane Sampson had no idea that James Black was currently on his way home. She was sitting on the floor, chatting with him over the phone, holding her mobile phone in one hand while ordering some takeaway to try to vent her unhappiness with food.

She wasn’t willing to end the call with James Black and asked him if it was inconvenient for him to talk to her. After hearing James say it wasn’t, she felt reassured.

At this moment, what she wanted more was for James Black to be by her side, to hold her and give her a warm embrace. But she knew he was very busy. Still, being able to sit in their home and hear his voice coming through the phone was already enough to make Jane Sampson feel satisfied.

The call lasted for more than half an hour, so when Jane Sampson heard a noise at the doorway, she thought it might be the delivery guy arriving. She quickly got up from the floor, intending to tell James on the phone that she’d go get the stuff, when she saw her front door being pushed open.

And the person who had been talking to her on the phone was now standing at the doorway, holding a phone and looking straight at her.

Jane Sampson froze in place, maintaining her pose of leaning on the table to get up, staring dumbly at the doorway.

"You?" Jane Sampson blinked her eyes, "Why did you come back?"

She was still holding the microphone. Only after seeing the person at the doorway smile at her did Jane Sampson put the landline phone back in place and dash straight toward the doorway, flying into James Black’s arms.

"Why did you come back?" Her voice was filled with delight and astonishment.

Her two arms tightly hugged James Black, overwhelmed with joy.

"I was afraid you’d start crying all alone at home." James Black rubbed the top of the woman’s head nestled in his arms, preparing to step inside with his slippers when the elevator dinged behind him.

Then, a delivery guy appeared behind James Black, staring blankly at the man and woman hugging at the doorway, and asked in a soft voice.

"Miss Sampson, your M’s Place takeaway has arrived. Please sign for it."

!!!!!!!

???????

Jane Sampson practically jumped out of James Black’s arms!

This delivery guy—excuse me, are you a devil? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Why would you suddenly show up at a time like this!

Jane Sampson quickly grabbed James Black and pulled him inside, hurriedly saying, "Not mine! Not mine! What a coincidence, someone shares my last name."

James Black, of course, knew the score. Watching Jane Sampson fail to drag him and then bolting toward the room as if escaping for her life, a barely perceptible twitch pulled at the corner of his mouth.

"Um, Miss Sampson..." The delivery guy was left standing there in bewilderment, wondering what he had done wrong when the customer bolted suddenly.

"Give it to me." James Black took Jane Sampson’s takeaway from the delivery guy’s hands, watched him leave, then walked into the house with the bag of food. Closing the door behind him with a nudge of his foot, he opened the takeaway bag and peeked at its contents.

Spicy wings, chicken steak, a hamburger, and a cup of hot milk tea.

Alright.

Truly fantastic.

If he hadn’t come home now, Jane Sampson would probably already be at home, happily eating these with her feet up, wouldn’t she?

James Black threw the food directly into the trash can, then walked to where Jane Sampson was burrowed under the quilt like an ostrich. Tugging the quilt off, he said, "I’m tired, need to sleep. Don’t bother me." Jane Sampson guiltily closed her eyes, flailing her hands around to grab the quilt, and when she did, she draped it back over herself entirely.
