Thea was responsive. She hugged James back and snuggled in his arms.
James’ thoughts were running at a thousand kilometers per hour. He tossed them away and started to kiss her.
“Ah,” Thea gasped in shock as she pushed him away.
James licked his lips as he smiled satisfactorily.
He wanted to have his way with his beautiful wife, but after giving it some thought, he decided to wait until after their wedding day. It’d be better if everything was settled by then.
“It’s nothing, good night.”
James grinned like a schoolboy in love. A kiss was enough for him for now.
He closed his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Thea.
Thea blushed. She could not help but smile happily watching this wonderful man sleep beside her.
The night slipped away silently.
The next morning.
James woke up in the afternoon.
Lex, Howard, John, and Benjamin were in his house. Other than them, none of the other Callahan family members showed up.
When James walked out of his groggily, he quickly snapped awake after seeing them in his house. “Grandpa, uncle, good morning.”
Lex turned and addressed him, “James.”
John faced James immediately and exclaimed in gratitude, “James, thank you so much for last night. If it wasn’t for you, my son would still be tortured in the police station.”
James let out a sleepy yawn and chuckled. “That’s nothing. All I did was call Xara from Transgenerational. She was the one who did all the work.”
Gladys was upset, as usual. She was displeased at the fact that James was taking the credit for helping Lex when he himself was so incompetent he needed to rely on someone else for help.
Especially when that someone was Xara Hill.
One of her family members.
She butted in, pridefully, “That’s true, you can’t imagine the influence us Hills have. The Hills were the only ones to help the Callahans when you’re in trouble.”
