Chapter 178 There's No Way to Break off the Engagement
Mason drove Kara and James to the entrance of the Hemming's.
Kara got off and stared at the brightly-lit house, which made her feel gloomy instead. She was a little
hesitant.
"What's wrong?" James touched her head and took her by the hand.
"James, why do I feel like the Hemming's is haunted?" Kara said in a small voice.
James's look instantly became sharp, but remembering that it had been nearly twenty years, he took a
deep breath and repressed his emotion.
"Ghosts will eat me first. They don't like an ordinary person like you."
He took her hand and slowly walked into the house.
"..."
'When you lost your temper, you are even more terrifying than a ghost!' Kara thought indignant.
Although Kara pursed and complained in her heart, she clenched his hand nervously.
James felt her dependence and smiled secretly.
Madam Hemming invited them to have dinner. When James and Kara arrived, dinner was already set
up.
The two entered the living room and saw Kathleen and Sophia sitting on the dining table. Kara sighed
helplessly.
She knew that it would be no good for her to eat at the Hemming's.
James looked indifferent as he greeted Madam Hemming, and took Kara to sit at the back of the table.
James used to sit next to the old lady on the left, and the old lady arranged Kathleen to sit next to her
today. it was obvious that she wanted Kathleen and James to sit together.
James was not stupid. He knew that the old lady was trying to fight back since she knew his plan in the
engagement.
But he would never let Kara suffer any injustice no matter what happen!
"James, why sitting so far away? Come here and talk to me." The old lady smiled kindly.
When Kathleen saw James, she felt excited when she thought about of old lady's guarantee.
But when Kathleen saw their hands held together, her eyes were bloodshot as if they had been pricked
by poison needles. She stared at Kara with resentment.
This shameless woman seduced her fiance, and dared to show off in front of her!
That bitch!
"Grandma, let's have dinner first." James replied calmly. The old lady had nothing to say in reply.
Kara just followed James, and felt that the best thing she could do is to speak and act cautiously.
When they were eating, Emily glanced at Kara and James, smiling playfully.
Everyone ate in silence. Kara found that she could reach only one of the dishes in front of her.
But there was a plate of meat dishes full of red chili peppers. She swallowed and was afraid to eat.
Kara rarely ate spicy food because of her poor health since childhood.
Besides, she had been eating Chinese medicine recently. Even if she wanted to eat food with strong
taste, Libby and James would not allow her to eat considering her health.
Seeing the dish, the cold sweat ran from her forehead.
As Kara lowered her head to eat the rice, some vegetables appeared in the bowl. She turned her head
in surprise.
She saw James calmly put food into her plate. He also asked her in a low voice to hint at him with eyes
about what she wanted to eat.
"Just eat your dinner. What's the use of looking at me?"
Seeing his little girl blinking her eyes at him, James chuckled and gently tapped her forehead.
"There's a lot of use!"
Her appetite was better with his company.
Although they spoke softly, everyone sitting at the dining table could still hear them.
Kathleen stared at Kara, her face turned so ashen with outrage that she almost crushed the chopsticks
in her hand.
The old lady was shocked to see how close James and Kara were, especially when James took the
initiative to put food on Kara's plate.
It was a real eye-opener for her. She couldn't believe James will volunteer for such a job one day.
If Kara could have a child with James, it was naturally good for the two to be in love; if she could not,
then it was no use keeping her!
When James heard the honest reply of his little girl, his heart surged with emotions.
But for the wrong occasion, he would have kissed her till the end of time! RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
When Kara realized what she had just said, her cheeks flushed and she felt so ashamed that she
wanted to dig a hole to hide in.
Sure enough, as the saying goes, even heroes fall for beauties!
After dinner, the table was quickly cleaned up by the servants. The old lady coughed lightly and said,
"James, the one who was engaged to you was Kathleen. Since Kathleen is back, she is your fiancee."
"..."
Kara clenched his fists, knowing that the old lady was going to mention that thing.
Suddenly, under the table, her hand was held in a warm palm. She turned and faced the peaceful
brown eyes of James.
Her heart was warmed and firm.
No matter why she and Uncle James got engaged in the first place, there's no way anyone can break
them up now.
Not only no way, not even a narrow meandering footpath!
No way!
"Grandma, do you mean you want me to get engaged again?" James asked.
"If you want, of course you can." The old lady nodded.
James chuckled. His voice was low and deep, sounds particularly magnetic and attractive when he
laughed.
Kathleen stared at James expectantly, hoping that he would agree and get engaged to her.
"Of course I don't want to!"
James sneered and looked at the old lady.
"If I get engaged again, wouldn't that mean I have two fiancees? The law will not allow it."
The old lady was unhappy, but she didn't show her displeasure. She still smiled kindly, "If you are
engaged to Kathleen, certainly you must break off the engagement with Kara."
"Kathleen's disappearance was deliberately designed, since Kara is her cousin, she was engaged to
you to help you out. Now that Kathleen is back, she has completed her mission."
Completed her mission...(sneer)
James laughed furiously. No one could see his indifferent face clearly.
"Grandma, we're not engaged to get out of trouble, we're in love with each other."
"I've already given my heart to him. You have no excuse to ask me to leave him!" Kara suddenly said.
In order to give a vivid performance, she blinked her eyes, as if the grievance is so unbearable that she
wanted to cry.
"..." Everyone stared at her in shock.
They did not expect the timid little girl to say such shameless words.
Kathleen watched Kara's exaggerated performance, knowing that she was determined not to let James
go!
She was furious and her face clouded over with anger as she glared at Kara.
"Kara, how dare you say that! You were the one who set me up to be kidnapped so you could take
advantage of it. It was clear that you wanted to hook up with James, so that you could marry him well-
reasonably!"
Kara pouted and stared at Kathleen with teary eyes.
"Love is selfish. I just want to be with James. I don't want you to marry him."
When James heard his little girl's words, he was touched, feeling so sweet inside.
At that moment, he just wanted to take her back to the villa and share a romantic time with her!
