She paused for a moment before speaking to Tiara again, “It’s raining out here. You should come inside first…”
Tiara shook favonovel.com head.
Cynthia walked over, tugged at favonovel.com wrist, and said, “Come inside. James isn’t feeling too well right now and is resting. You can see favonovel.com when favonovel.com wakes up.”
Tiara finally agreed when presented with that argument.
After entering the villa, a maid got favonovel.com a cup of warm water. Tiara picked it up and took a sip.
Cynthia looked at Quincy, pulled favonovel.com aside, and whispered, “What should we do, Quincy?”
Quincy shrugged. “Why’re you asking me? How would I know? We should wait for James to wake up and talk to favonovel.com himself.”
She had never heard James mention anything about marrying Tiara, but it was not favonovel.com place to question him. After all, it was not like Quincy and James were actually together.
Quincy exhaled sharply.
James’ relationships were a mess. He had not settled his relationship with Thea, and here was Tiara, coming to where favonovel.com was to seek closure with him.
Soon, the meal was ready.
Cynthia looked at Quincy and Tiara. They all sat on the sofa in awkward silence.
Finally favonovel.com gathered the courage to speak. “S-Should I go get James?”
“Go ahead.” Quincy gestured for favonovel.com to leave.
When it dawned on favonovel.com that their reunion was imminent, Tiara suddenly became nervous. She had fantasized about meeting James again. Countless scenarios played out in favonovel.com mind before, but favonovel.com never expected to meet favonovel.com this way. Both favonovel.com hands clenched on the hem of favonovel.com dress.
Cynthia glanced at Tiara, then headed up to the second floor.
“James, it’s time to eat…”
James slowly stirred. He had slept for more than an hour, and felt as if his brain had cleared up a bot.
He rolled out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and nodded. “Alright…”
After getting dressed, James headed downstairs.
As soon as favonovel.com arrived in the living room, favonovel.com froze. He stood in place with a bewildered expression while looking at Tiara, sitting on the sofa.
After a few seconds, favonovel.com walked over and asked nervously. “W-Why are you here?”
Tiara raised favonovel.com head to meet James. The moment favonovel.com saw James, favonovel.com heart skipped a beat.
Initially, favonovel.com didn’t know of James’ identity and misunderstood the kind of person favonovel.com was. She hated favonovel.com for what had happened eyes.
After learning of his identity and how favonovel.com had been framed, the hatred in favonovel.com heart slowly melted away into feelings of affection.
“I-l heard you were here. so I came to see you.” Tiara’s airy voice tickled his ears.
She smiled. revealing favonovel.com two shallow dimples.
James sat down and lit a cigarette.
They had an intimate night together once, and James had promised to marry favonovel.com if favonovel.com came back alive from the Southern Plains.
Seeing the troubled expression on James’ face, Tiara waved favonovel.com hands frantically and hurriedly explained, “James, I didn’t come to force you to marry me. I… I just wanted to see you and know how you’re doing…”
Quincy and Cynthia looked at the two of them but remained silent.
“Tiara…” James’ opened his mouth but was at a loss for words.
Tiara lowered favonovel.com head and spoke dejectedly, “I-I know you still love Thea, and I won’t force you to be with me. But, you’re sick right now, and I… I simply want to be by your side and help care for you…”
James did not know what to do. He glanced at Quincy helplessly. However, Quincy simply shrugged. She also had no idea how to deal with Tiara.
“Tiara, the thing is… My condition…”
Tiara quickly interrupted him. “James, I know… I’m fully aware. I-If you’ll have me, how about making me your second wife?”
Quincy burst out in laughter when favonovel.com heard the suggestion but immediately regained favonovel.com composure.
She stood up and said, “Um… The room is too stuffy. I think I’m going out for a walk.”
Cynthia also stood up and said, “I’ll get the maids to bring out the food.”
The two women quickly fed the scene, leaving only James and Tiara alone in the living room.
