Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife novel Chapter 12

Kara went for a morning jog with James, but she began to pant after only running a few hundred meters.

"Your body is too weak. Will said you should exercise more." James was jogging beautifully beside her, his pace neither too fast nor too slow, and he ran easily as if he was walking.

Biting her pink lips, Kara didn't want to admit defeat. She tried to explain while she was panting, "I was a bit weak in the past, and the doctor advised me not to exercise too much. That's why I didn't do much exercise before."

"I see. Will will be your attending doctor from now on." He spoke in a commanding tone.

"But I already have an attending doctor. He's..."

James did not want to explain every detail about that to her. He said in a confident tone, "I trust Will more. He will come to the villa to give you a check-up every month."

Kara didn't know what to say.

The morning breeze was a bit cold. When the sky was bright, Kara was already too tired to lift her feet.

She looked at James' broad back. The slim-cut sweatshirt revealed the lines of his muscles. Kara liked painting, and was especially obsessed with things with a sense of line. She stared at the man's abs and couldn't look away.

"Can you still run?"

Hearing the man's low voice, she was startled and blushed.

To cover up that she was peeking at him, she hurriedly quickened her pace. However, she did not know that she had already reached the limits of her body. Hardly had she taken two steps than she staggered and was about to fall.

Suddenly, as she felt the man wrapping his arms around her waist, she smelled a faint fragrance of mint.

She was already sweating profusely, but his body was still dry. He held her in his arms easily. She bit her pink lips like a child and leaned against his chest.

And she stayed there.

Seeing that she was huddling up in his embrace like a lazy cat, James curled up his lips slightly into a smile, and his brown eyes looked like there was sunshine in them.

Haste made waste. He must be patient with her if he wanted to build up her body.

He held her hand and walked slowly with her.

Kara stared at his big hand wrapping around her small hand in surprise. Her face became even hotter and she tried to shake his hand off awkwardly.

"You still have energy left for walking home?"

She couldn't answer him.

Because she ... really didn't have that energy left.
