Divorce and Freedom: No More Homemaker for Him

Chapter 890 Compliments

A lot of things took me to settle.

Pea

The sadness Halle had been holding down only came rushing back after everything was finally handled

Only then did she begin to feel the deep pain of losing someone so close.

Ayla had stayed with her for several days, but Halle knew she couldn’t keep her there forever. If she asked, Ayla would definitely stay.

But Halle had to face this on her own.

So, she told Ayla she was fine and sent her home to rest.

The moment Ayla left, Halle felt terrible again. She needed something to distract herself.

That was when she thought of James.

She checked her phone to see if he had messaged her. Over the past few days, he hadn’t shared much about his life. There were only one or two short check-in messages, and he said goodnight to her every day.

Just seeing those words made her emotions rise.

So, she sent him a message.

“Come keep me company.”

She needed someone right now, so she said it directly.

James replied instantly. “I’m right downstairs. I’ll come up now. Do you want anything to eat? I can bring it up.”

Halle paused. “You’ve been here the whole time?”

She had been so busy these days that she hadn’t gone back to her house on Norton Road. Instead, she stayed at another property that was closer.

Even though James no longer lived next door, he still knew where she was.

“Yeah. Luckily Ayla was with you, so I didn’t want to bother you. But now you finally need me.

Halle was surprised. “You saw Ayla?”

“I just said hi to her. She was curious why I was here, so I told her I came to check on you. She didn’t seem surprised at all. In fact, she looked like she wanted me to come see you. I guess she thinks I’m pretty reliable

He somehow managed to compliment himself in a roundabout way.

Halle forced a small smile. She really didn’t feel like smiling, but her mood lifted a little. I want super

sweet drinks and all kinds of cake.”

“Got it.”

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

James had arrived.

*Pains

When Halle opened the door, he didn’t rush in. stead, he stood there and looked her up and down, very openly, like he wanted her to know he was checking on her.

Halle felt a little uncomfortable. She hadn’t been in good shape lately. She hadn’t even bothered to take care of herself.

But James still looked at her with admiration. “Ms. Kinsman, so this is what you look like. You’re seriously beautiful.”

Halle knew what she looked like right now-red eyes, dark circles, pale face, messy hair. There was nothing beautiful about it. She had no idea how he could say that.

But he sounded so sincere, like he truly meant it.

Halle didn’t have the energy to argue. “Come in.”

James followed her inside. Then he suddenly said, “The light above your head is off.”

Halle froze for a second. “What?”

She didn’t really catch what he meant. Then she walked over and dropped onto the couch.

James sat beside her. He put a straw into the drink and handed it to her. After she took it, he opened the box of sweet cakes.

As Halle sipped her drink, James said, “When you’re in a good mood, it always feels like there’s a spotlight around you. I can spot you right away, and I like looking at you. But right now, that light above your head is gone. Haha.”

It sounded poetic, but also kind of weird.

Halle rolled her eyes. “If Ayla knew you came here just to roast me, she’d kick you out right now.

James raised a brow. “Why? You don’t allow people to talk about you like that? Since when am I not allowed to tell the truth?”

His tone was teasing, almost like he was picking a fight.

Strangely, that made Halle feel a spark of energy. She suddenly wanted to argue with him.

But when they actually started going back and forth, she didn’t feel angry at all. Instead, she found herself smiling, even laughing a little. It felt like he was just trying to cheer her up

“Am I weird?” she said. “Why do I feel happier when you tease me than when you say nice things.

Chapter 890 Compliments

She frowned, confused. “Do I not like compliments or something?”

+ Hearts

James said shamelessly, “am giving you a compliment. I don’t know why you think I’m teasing you. If I ever do something actually nice for you, are you just going to ignore

It sounded like a question, but his tone was gentle, almost like he was coaxing her.

Halle grabbed a small plush decoration from the side and threw it at him.

James caught it easily. “Oh, you still have the energy to hit me? Looks like you’re not doing that bad. Your ‘light’ will turn back on soon.”

Halle smiled. “Thanks. I hope so.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Oh wow, now you’re being polite?”

James laughed. Then he watched her take a few bites of cake and asked, “So? Is it good?”
