Chapter 358: Did I Scare You That Night?

"Where is it? I can’t see." James’ voice came from the bathroom. Yvonne then took a step back to the door, "Can you see it?" "I still cannot," James said.

Yvonne frowned and could only take another step back. James got it this time. When his slightly moist hand touched her palm inadvertently, Yvonne couldn’t help but withdraw it instantly. She only realized that her behavior just now was a bit too ambiguous. Some charming fragments of that night flashed in her mind. She blushed and quickly walked away from the door. She wanted to go out immediately, but when she saw the pile of clothes in front of the closet, she couldn’t help but go over and squat down to pack them.

When James came out, he saw Yvonne crouching in front of the closet to help him organize his clothes. From her back, she looked like a virtuous wife. James grinned unconsciously and walked over, "After moving here, I have been too busy to have time to clean up."

Yvonne had been worried that if he came out suddenly, it would be embarrassing for him to see her like this. But he came out suddenly. She was so frightened that her hands shook and accidentally touched the folded clothes next to her, and the clothes suddenly fell. Yvonne hurried to stop it when she saw it, and so did James. The two of them reached out their hands in unison, and they bumped into each other without surprise. Their hands were folded together to take the fallen clothes together.

At that moment, both of them froze, especially Yvonne. Their inadvertent touch had already made her flustered, not to mention the close contact now. James was just above her head, and she could even feel his warm breathing. She just felt more flustered. James felt it too, and her hands were shaking, and when he touched her hands, they were shaking violently. James couldn’t help but frown. Was she so afraid of him? He slowly removed his hands and stood up.

Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief and quickly straightened the clothes. "I’ll do it." James was a little embarrassed.

Yvonne didn’t dare to look at him and just said, "It’s almost done." She put the folded clothes into the closet in different categories. When James saw this, he could only step aside in silence. Yvonne did all this and turned her head to look at James, but she showed an awkward look.

"The closet is packed. I’ll go out first."

She hurried out to the door, but was stopped by James, "Yvonne..."

There was a hint of caution in his voice. "Did I scare you that night?"

"What?" Yvonne didn’t understand what he meant and turned to look over.

James said, "In the hotel that night, I..."

Yvonne realized what he was referring to and interrupted him with a blushing face, "No, don’t think too much about it."

"But I just clearly felt that you were shaking," James said.

Yvonne was a little embarrassed by what he said. She was shaking just now because she was too nervous instead of being scared. "I... was just not used to it." She bit her lips, and her voice was extremely low.

James stared at her lowering head, "Really?" Yvonne nodded.

James breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he had traumatized her just now.

After all, he was drugged and was probably very rude that night.

...

Now, hearing her denial, he finally felt relieved. "Can I go now?" Yvonne was a little awkward standing there.

James nodded, but remembered something, and said, "I have something to tell you." "What’s it?" Yvonne looked over.

James sat down on the bed while he was wiping his wet hair. He patted his side, and said, "Let’s sit down and talk." He had just finished taking a shower and he had a very nice smell of shower gel.

Just smelling it from a distance, she couldn’t help but feel nervous and blush. How could she dare to lean so close? "No, I’ll stand. Just say it."

Hearing this, James didn’t force it, "I have already figured out how to deal with Grace, but you have to tell me what the bottom line of the White family is."

"Bottom line?"

She had never thought about it. James nodded, "Yes, the bottom line. I need to know what is the bottom line that you can live with before I can decide how far I will go."

Yvonne understood. She thought for a while and said, "I only want Grace to be ruined. As for the rest of the White family... just let it go."

James understood, and he said, "Okay."

"Then... I’m going back."

James nodded and watched her leave. When she disappeared at the door, he sighed helplessly. He wanted her so much. He was upset for a while before he fell on the big bed. Yvonne did not fall asleep for a long time after returning to her bedroom. James had just asked about her bottom line, but in fact, she had never thought about it. There was no doubt she hated Grace for the shameless things she had done to her. She hated her even more for killing her mother. To be honest, there was no bottom line for Grace.

But she didn’t want that. She only wanted the things Grace cared about the most. Only in this way, she would suffer greatly. Thinking of this, Yvonne gritted her teeth bitterly. She must make Grace miserable as hell. Early the next morning, Yvonne got up and went downstairs. James was already busy in the kitchen. Hearing footsteps, he stretched his head and looked over, "Morning!" He smiled genially at Yvonne.

Yvonne also smiled, "Morning!"

"Wait a second. Breakfast will be ready soon." He returned to the stove again as he said.

Yvonne walked over to set the table. When James cooked his breakfast, the two of them sat down and started eating. Although it was simple scrambled eggs with ham, Yvonne felt quite guilty. She was not good at cooking. Since they got married, she had never cooked for him, and he had taken very good care of her instead. She felt sorry.

"I will prepare breakfast in the future." Yvonne thought for a while and said. James was startled. He stopped cutting the ham, and looked over, "What? You don’t like the breakfast I’ve prepared?"

Yvonne hurriedly said, "Of course not. I just think you have worked so hard." James felt relieved and said with a chuckle, "It’s my pleasure. I enjoy it."

The more he said this, the more embarrassed Yvonne felt. She said, "Well, let’s divide the work. How about you take care of the breakfast and leave the rest to me?" James thought for a while and said, "Okay, but..."

...

"But what?" Seeing his hesitation, Yvonne asked.

James smiled brightly at her, "But my requirements are a bit high. Are you sure you can satisfy my appetite?" Yvonne didn’t speak anymore.

She knew her cooking skills. She could only make sure the food was cooked, but couldn’t guarantee its taste. James wasn’t surprised at her reaction. Anyway, he had been her neighbor for a while, and he knew her cooking skills very well. He said, "Well, if you are not confident enough, you can be my cooking assistant for a while first, and then I will hand it to you when you think you can do it well. How about it?"

This was indeed a compromise. Yvonne felt that it was feasible, so she nodded in agreement. "Oh, I have something to ask you," Yvonne said.

James nodded while eating breakfast, "Go ahead." Yvonne paused before saying, "You told me about the plan to deal with Grace last night, so I am wondering if I could join in."

She had thought a lot last night. She had entrusted James to deal with Grace, but she thought there was nothing more to relieve her hatred than to join in in the action herself. However, she was not sure if she could help. After all, her specialty was limited to medicine.

James looked up, "Do you want to join in?" Yvonne nodded, "I know I may not be able to help much, but as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

James saw the desire in her eyes. He paused, and said, "It’s not impossible, but you may have to stay with me around the clock. Are you sure you can bear it?" Yvonne was dumb stuck. Was this a problem?

It was just being with him 24 hours a day. Was it hard? She did not understand. "I knew you couldn’t stand it." James sighed helplessly and continued to eat. Yvonne said, "I can stand it." She was very serious.

James looked at her with a trace of inquiry in his eyes. "I don’t understand why you think this is a problem," Yvonne told the confusion in her heart. James was also a little confused. He didn’t know why he thought this was a problem.

Probably her constant rejection had left a shadow on him when he pestered her before. "Well... in that case, you can join in."

After breakfast, when James went out, Yvonne naturally followed him. James watched her following behind him and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had always followed her before. Unexpectedly, now it was the other way around. However, this was also very good. He could take the opportunity to show his charm. Thinking of this, James enjoyed it very much. He took Yvonne into the company building, and while walking inside, he introduced the internal structure of the company to her.

Yvonne only felt that she was not smart enough for a moment. There were so many departments, and the positions were divided into very small parts. After listening to it for a while, she got confused. "Mr. Taylor, morning!" The receptionist of the

company saw James coming in and quickly got up to say hello to him flatteringly.

James raised his hand in response. When he walked over, the receptionist directly fainted. This was the first time Mr. Taylor had ever responded to her. Yvonne was surprised when she saw this, and when she was about to go over to help the receptionist, she was stopped by James.
