FULL NOVELXO Chapter 100 Mr. James Asked, "Do You Like Me?"
Lying down on her big bed, Kara turned to look at the man sitting by the bed.
"Uncle James, how do you lull me to sleep?"
"Close your eyes," James whispered in her ear.
In the dark night, his sexy voice made her ears tickle and her heartbeat wildly.
She was anxious about the exam, and now her heart beat so fast, how could she sleep?
Kara closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
"Take a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Repeat it several times." He deliberately lowered his voice and talked slowly, like he was hypnotizing her.
Yes, James was trying to hypnotize her.
Kara adjusted her breathing according to what James said. A few minutes later, her body was completely relaxed.
"Kara, imagine that you are going downstairs step by step..." His voice was getting lower and lower, seemingly vague and indistinct, but she could hear his voice clearly. Gradually, she felt her eyelids heavy and lost her consciousness, falling into a beautiful dream that he had weaved for her.
"Good girl, you sleep so sweetly."
James listened to her gentle breathing and lay down beside her.
He wanted to sleep beside her. He wanted to hug her, folding her in his arms unguardedly and wholeheartedly.
On the first day of the college entrance examination, it was a sunny day, and Libby prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Kara hurriedly ran downstairs and looked at the big clock hanging in the living room. She became more anxious. "Mason, drive me to school!"
James, who had just gone downstairs, saw her calling for Mason anxiously. He walked to her and pulled up her collar teasingly.
"You little fool, it's only seven. Let's go to eat breakfast first."
The college entrance examination started at nine o'clock. There was enough time for her to take half an hour on the way to school and got there half of an hour in advance. "What? It's only seven? I think it's eight already."
Kara covered her face and felt that she was so nervous that she was about to go crazy.
After breakfast, she clenched her fists when she got into the car.
She told herself in her heart that she must keep calm.
James stood outside the car and did not get in for a long time. He just stared at her affectionately. "Uncle James, is there anything else?" Kara waited for a while, blinking her big eyes at him, and asked.
"Are you sure you have brought all the things that you need?" James ordered. His tone was a little cold.
Kara quickly checked all the things in her bag. After confirming that there was nothing missing, she nodded with absolute certainty.
"You little fool, you are really my headache." James bent down and knocked her on the forehead.
This time, he hit her a bit hard. Kara touched her forehead and hid further in the car.
"It hurts! Uncle James, why did you hit me?"
However, James ignored her. Instead, he took out her bag and checked it through personally.
"Where is your admission ticket?"
"It's in my bag..."
Kara looked for the transparent document bag and found that her admission ticket was not in it. Her face turned pale.
"Uncle James, I... I lost my ticket. I can't take the college entrance examination."
Kara panicked, with her eyes getting red, and tears rolling down her face. She wanted to jump out of the car to find her admission ticket but was stopped by James again. "Uncle James, let go of me. I..."
"Your admission ticket is in my hand. You are in such a hurry in the morning that you even don't know you have lost it."
After James got in the car, he handed her the admission ticket.
Kara said nothing.
She was holding her admission ticket tightly and cried with joy.
Just now, all sorts of hopeless thoughts flashed through her mind. She thought that she would have her own destiny and would not be able to participate in the college entrance examination. Her life would end up like a loser.
But when James's big palm held her little hand, she felt very secure instantly.
"I'm trying to teach you a lesson. Don't be forgetful. And don't cry." When James saw her crying, his heart was a little messy.
He couldn't stand her tears the most. Seeing her crying, he would be at a loss.
"Uncle James, I am lucky to have you here. Otherwise, I will definitely be finished, if I have gone to the school, and find out that I have lost my admission ticket by then."
"You have me already, is there anything to be afraid of?"
James wiped
tears with a wet tissue and gently patted her back to comfort her.
After a long while, Kara finally stopped crying. Her eyes were red as she lay in his arms and refused to come out. She covered her face with embarrassment, not daring to look at him.
When they arrived at the school, it was already crowded with people, and there were even more parents than the examinees.
James was worried that she would be triggered by the scene and thought of her deceased parents, so he got off the car with her and led her to the examination room.
When he walked out of the car, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The atmosphere was very tense when the colleague entrance examination was coming, at this time, the appearance of a handsome man could be leisure for the crowd. James was so charming that people even couldn't move their eyes from him.
James was used to being the center of attention and did not care about the gazes of the crowd at all. He just led his girl to the outside of her examination room.
"Do you remember the tricks I taught you?"
"Yes, the first is to be focused, the second is to be confident, and the third is to be well prepared. I remember it all!"
Kara was naming the tricks seriously. It was obvious that these tricks had taken root in her heart.
"Now you have to forget those tricks. When you take the exam, do as you wish. Understand?"
"What?"
Kara stared at him in confusion. James had taught her so many tricks, wasn't it for her to perform well in her exams?
"Take your exam with an ordinary heart, just like you are doing your homework."
James was not very good at comforting people. He would only focus on the problem and solve it.
Since he was young, he never knew what the situation was like when he was nervous, and taking an examination was just like doing his homework in a different place. With his cool personality, he disdained to waste his expression on this kind of thing.
However, his girl was different from him. Judging from the things that happened last night and this morning, Kara valued the exam too much, so she felt a lot of pressure. "Okay." Kara nodded and walked into the classroom.
Looking at her back disappearing in the distance, James thought that perhaps participating in the college entrance examination would also be an opportunity for her to grow. He wanted to do everything he could and accompany her during her whole life so that every time she recalled her important moments, he would be there.
James was a person that would not say many good words but would take action to do what he wanted in his overbearing way.
Looking at the door of her classroom, suddenly, she turned around and ran to hug him.
"Uncle James, I will do my best."
She wanted to run after saying that, but she failed.
James was stunned for a few seconds, then he rubbed his chin against her forehead. In a posture that she couldn't see, his eyes shone with gentleness. "I will prepare a surprise for you. Do you want to hear it?"
"What?"
Kara was surprised. What kind of surprise would James prepare for her at this time?
"If you want to know what it is, answer me a question first. Do you like me?" He smelled the faint herbal scent of the girl and asked her in an alluring tone. "Of course I like you, Uncle James."
Kara answered honestly according to the literal meaning.
After saying that, she felt strange and quickly changed the topic, "Uncle James, what's the surprise?"
From the way the girl addressed him, it was Uncle James, not James. He furrowed his brows slightly. "How much do you like me?"
What? Wasn't it inappropriate to dwell on this issue at this time?
Kara frowned, not understanding why he was so persistent about this question.
"Uncle James?"
In this world, James was her most revered and trusted elder, and she naturally liked him.
But she was no longer a little girl. She knew that there were many explanations for the word "like", and she was not sure what answer he wanted from her.
