Kara frowned and felt angrier about James' mean words.
"James, that's enough!"
"How dare you get married to me and go out with another guy! You are the one who needs to be cautious!" James looked at Kara and replied in a satiric tone.
When Kara clenched her fists and was about to retort, she suddenly remembered what Arya had once said.
One hated his love to treat another man differently.
Instantly, Kara calmed down.
Once getting angry, James was expressionless. But one would feel his anger when looking at his brown cold eyes.
"James, are you jealous?"
Upon hearing the words, James was stunned. He suddenly turned around and looked at Kara arrogantly.
Seeing James being awkward, Kara knew the answer. She ran to him with a big smile and jumped to poke his expressionless face.
"James, you are jealous!"
James got worried about Kara when she was jumping up and down. He extended his arms in case she fell, but he still showed no feeling.
"Don't change the subject!"
Kara glanced at him, puffing out her cheeks. She blinked and James finally became less angry.
"James, Donald is my senior. He has helped me several times before. He seemed to be in a bad mood when I was phoning him. I was worried about him so I've unconsciously written his name on the paper. I don't hold that kind of feeling for him."
"Why should he call you when he's in a bad mood? Don't you have any wiser excuse?" James sneered.
Kara was irritated and gritted her teeth though she found that James could be so childish.
"James, let's see this from another perspective. For example, will you get worried about Will if his wife was injured?"
She tried to walk him through the situation that Donald was just a friend to her like Will to him.
"How does it have to do with me?"
Kara took a deep breath and gave up to persuade him by examples. How could she be so stupid!
She could not achieve her goal with that.
"James, it's not embarrassing to be jealous. Why can't you just admit it?"
James couldn't retort.
James's ears slowly turned red. Kara snorted with her chin up and ran away.
When he wanted to reach out and grab her, she had gone.
Once Kara returned to the room, she locked the door and patted her heart that was beating wildly.
Arya had told Kara before that if James felt jealous it would mean that he was into her.
Kara pondered, 'If James did not marry me for disguise, should I be brave to show my affection? Should I give it a shot?'
Taking the pajamas, she went to shower. She noticed that Libby had changed the shower gel. The new one had a different fragrance.
It smelt of roses.
She sniffed and felt uncomfortable for it smelt too strong, her nose wrinkling.
But she couldn't ask Libby to change the shower gel as she had taken off her clothes. Therefore, she used it anyway.
The smell of roses lingered on her body after the shower. Though it covered the bitter smell of medicine, she felt uncomfortable.
When drying her hair, she found that her hair was getting longer. It was time to get her hair cut.
