Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife novel Chapter 8

Hearing this, Kathleen changed her mind. It was true. Kara was timid. Maybe she could really create opportunities for her."

But when she thought of James humiliating her for the sake of that invalid, she stamped her feet, wishing she could tear Kara to shreds.

Originally, Kara was nice to her, but for some reason, now she kind of saw her as an enemy, which made her panic.

"Kara doesn't have something to hold onto. You are her cousin, and when you marry James, she will get benefited, too. So she has no reason not to help you." Adam analyzed proudly.

Kathleen thought what he said made sense. She now was thinking about how to butter Kara up, so that she could help her.

Hearing that it would be helpful for Kathleen's engagement, Linda reluctantly sucked it up, although she hated Kara.

"If that's so, we could just let that invalid play her part."

Sophia, who was standing aside, didn't looked well. The reason why Madam Hemming had chosen Kathleen as her future granddaughter-in-law was because of the jade pendant on Kathleen's neck.

She actually stole that jade pendant from Veronica's room. Kara might not know this yet. But if she knew, and told Madam Hemming, what would she do? Maybe she would cancel the engagement.

"Honey, maybe we should get Kara back. It's not right for a little girl like her to stay in someone's house."

"What do you know? You idiot, be careful. Don't ruin Kathleen's marriage." Before Adam could say anything, Linda scolded her.

"Kathleen is going to marry into the Hemmings. We must have everything under control. Sophia Green, don't screw it up. Otherwise, you know me."

Being scolded like this, Sophia had to put up with this, although she felt angry and wronged.

James' villa.

James washed Kara's face. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, he frowned and asked Libby to bring some ice.

Out of nowhere, he felt thirsty. Maybe the room was too hot. He drank a glass of water, but he still felt uncomfortable.

His gaze unconsciously landed on Kara's pink lips. He made himself to look away, and loosened his tie irritably.

"Uncle James, are you alright?" Seeing him like this, Kara asked worriedly.

She held ice cubes in her hands. James felt that he wanted to draw nearer to her.

Suddenly, he thought of the water he drank at his grandma's place. He got a bad feeling about this. He must have been drugged with aphrodisiac.

He suddenly grabbed Kara's hand, his warm palm against the back of her hand.

Kara didn't withdraw her hand. Instead, she held his hand tightly. She thought maybe he didn't feel well.

James stared at the little girl's soft hand with his brown eyes full of desire. Kara was a little freaked out.

"Uncle James, are you not feeling well? Shall we go to see a doctor?"

Hearing she call him "Uncle James", James fixed his eyes on her for a while and shook off her small hand.

"I'll go upstairs and get changed."

Kara watched as he rushed upstairs, thinking that he must be unwilling to show his weak side in front of her.

"Miss Kara, dinner is ready. Do you want to have dinner now or....?"

"Libby, Uncle James might be sick. I'll go upstairs to take a look."

Hearing that James was sick, Libby stopped Kara nervously at once, "Mr. James might have a stomachache. He doesn't care for his health when he is busy. Miss Kara, I'll go get some medicine and you go persuade him to take it."
