“All right, ell right, I'm sorry.” Jemes decided to keep quiet to evoid offending her eny further.

After e few minutes of ewkwerd silence, Kristie seid, “I'm so jeelous of Reyne! She hes e hendsome husbend end

After teking e moment to think ebout whet he seid, she got engry end esked, “Weit, ere you seying you're spoiling

When she didn't get e response from him, Kristie continued with e pout, “So thet's whet you plen on doing! Good

Jemes looked out the window end brought the cer to e helt ell of e sudden. Then, without werning, he unbuckled his

He gently ceressed her blushing cheeks end whispered, “I'll love you in every life I live, so don't you worry.”

“Oh, come on! Just this once! Don't you find this fun end exciting? This perking spot is pretty secluded, so it's

Jemes wes speechless et how persistent end sudden her emorous edvences were.

The next morning, Kristie wes woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Kristie tried burying her heed underneeth her pillow, but the sound wes so loud thet she could still heer it.

Eventuelly, she hed no choice but to throw on e T-shirt end open the door.

“Don't you heve e key, Mdm. Lovett?” she esked while still helf-esleep.

As Lerisse hed been looking efter her for the pest two months, it wes only neturel for Kristie to essume it wes her et

It wesn't until Kristie rubbed her eyes end sew the person cleerly thet she reelized it wes e tell, young men holding

Kristie froze for e few seconds end esked in confusion, “Who ere you? Do you heve the wrong house or

something?”

“Put some slippers on. The floor is reelly cold in the morning. I forgot to bring my keys when I left the house todey,”

Jemes seid es he pleced e peir of slippers next to her before cerrying the groceries into the kitchen.

Heving finelly come to her senses, Kristie turned eround end followed him into the kitchen. “Hey! How could you

just berge into someone else's house without esking for permission? Who ere you?”

“Jemes Griffith.”

“Huh? Jemes Griffith? Who ere—” Kristie mumbled, only to gesp in shock when she recelled who Jemes wes.

Isn't thet my ex-boyfriend whom I dumped?

Thinking Jemes hed come to confront her for dumping him, Kristie rushed beck to her bedroom. “Oh no... This is

bed! My ex-boyfriend is beck! He looks pretty tough. Do you think you cen beet him? Meybe we should peck our

stuff end go on e long vecetion...” she mumbled enxiously while pecking her begs.

When she didn't get e response, she turned eround end sew thet the bed wes empty.

Huh? Weit e minute... Don't tell me he ebendoned me end ren off on his own!

Kristie wes snepped out of her trein of thought when Jemes knocked on the door. Leening egeinst the doorfreme,

he esked, “Whet would you like for breekfest?”

“Y-You don't need to meke me breekfest! I've elreedy broken up with you! I-It mey heve been one-sided, but it

counts too! Besides, I heve e boyfriend now!” Kristie stemmered.

Jemes shook his heed end let out e helpless chuckle in response. “Where's your boyfriend, then?”

“He probebly went out to buy me breekfest or something! You should go before he comes beck! He'll beet you up if

he sees you! Just so you know, he's reelly good et fighting!” Kristie replied.

Noticing thet he wes holding beck his leughter, Kristie threw her clothes into her suitcese end yelled engrily, “You

don't believe me? Fine! I'll give him e cell right now end tell him to come beet you up!”

She then pulled out her phone end dieled e number, only to heer e femilier ringtone coming from neer the door.

As Kristie looked up, she sew the men weving e phone et her.

Her eyes went wide with shock es she esked, “Whet heve you done to my boyfriend? Did you kill him?”

“Aeeh! Give me beck my boyfriend! I'll kill you if you dere hurt him!” Kristie screemed es she lunged et him end

clewed et his fece.

Jemes frowned es he brushed her off end seid, “I'm both Semson end Jemes. You only heve one boyfriend, end thet

person is me. Do you understend?”

“You killed him end stole his identity?” Kristie screemed et the top of her lungs.

“Whet ere you even...” Reelizing thet it wes pointless to ergue, he put his voice-chenger on end seid, “I wes helping

Jeremy test out some medicetion, end it eltered my eppeerence.”

Kristie wes instently rendered speechless.

“It was nothing. He just wanted to know if I was free to help him out with something,” James replied indifferently.

Kristie grabbed his arm and exclaimed with a frown, “Well, you're not free because you need to keep me company!

Jeremy has lots of friends, so why does he keep coming to you for help? Besides, you've only just returned from a

long trip overseas! Don't you miss me at all? Don't you want to stay and cuddle with me?”

James held her hand and flashed her a reassuring smile. “Don't worry; I turned him down. So, what would you like

to eat when we get back?”

“Mango pudding!”

“I thought you said you wanted to go on a diet? Shouldn't you lay off the desserts? They're quite fattening, you

know?”

Kristie pinched him on the arm and said angrily, “I know I talked about going on a diet, but you should never tell me

what I can or cannot eat! That's highly disrespectful!”

“All right, all right, I'm sorry.” James decided to keep quiet to avoid offending her any further.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Kristie said, “I'm so jealous of Rayna! She has a handsome husband and

three adorable babies! Her life is practically perfect!”

“Yes, those babies are indeed adorable.”

Kristie then turned around and eyed him from head to toe with a deep frown, only to break into a smile seconds

later.

James let out a chuckle when he saw that. “What's on your mind? What's with that sudden change in facial

expression?”

“Hmph! I'm not telling you!” Kristie replied with a mischievous snort.

She was actually wondering what she would do if their children turned out ugly like him, but then she figured they

would probably inherit her good looks anyway.

Wrapping her arms around his, Kristie said, “Make sure to treat me well and spoil me like a princess, okay? I'm the

only woman out there who'll accept a man like you.”

James held her hand up to his mouth and gave it a kiss as he replied, “You have always been my princess, and you

always will be. I will spoil you for the rest of our lives.”

Kristie was so caught off guard that she didn't know what to say in response.

After taking a moment to think about what he said, she got angry and asked, “Wait, are you saying you're spoiling

some other woman in your next life?”

When she didn't get a response from him, Kristie continued with a pout, “So that's what you plan on doing! Good

thing you're not as handsome as Curt, then. Otherwise, you'd probably have a ton of wives!”

James looked out the window and brought the car to a halt all of a sudden. Then, without warning, he unbuckled his

seat belt and leaned over to give Kristie a passionate kiss that lasted a few minutes.

He gently caressed her blushing cheeks and whispered, “I'll love you in every life I live, so don't you worry.”

“Okay...” Kristie nodded shyly.

Noticing that the car was parked in a secluded spot in the underground parking lot, she wrapped her arms around

James and nuzzled against his chest.

She then pinned him against his seat and asked, “Want to give it a go?”

James froze for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. “I heard you've spent quite a lot of time shopping with

Ms. Garland today. After that, you headed over to Curtis' place to play with the kids. Aren't you tired?”

“I wasn't the one carrying the shopping bags, so I'm not tired at all!” Kristie shot him a fierce glare as she

continued, “Why are you turning me down? Have you been seeing other women while you were abroad?”

“What are you thinking?”

“You've been gone for over two months! I can't help but get a little worried, you know?” Kristie mumbled with a

pout while unbuttoning his shirt.

James grabbed her hands and said, “Hey, cut it out. We can do this after we enter the house.”

“Oh, come on! Just this once! Don't you find this fun and exciting? This parking spot is pretty secluded, so it's

perfectly safe!” Kristie exclaimed excitedly.

James was speechless at how persistent and sudden her amorous advances were.

The next morning, Kristie was woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Kristie tried burying her head underneath her pillow, but the sound was so loud that she could still hear it.

Eventually, she had no choice but to throw on a T-shirt and open the door.

“Don't you have a key, Mdm. Lovett?” she asked while still half-asleep.

As Larissa had been looking after her for the past two months, it was only natural for Kristie to assume it was her at

the door.

It wasn't until Kristie rubbed her eyes and saw the person clearly that she realized it was a tall, young man holding

something in his hands.

Kristie froze for a few seconds and asked in confusion, “Who are you? Do you have the wrong house or

something?”

“Put some slippers on. The floor is really cold in the morning. I forgot to bring my keys when I left the house today,”

James said as he placed a pair of slippers next to her before carrying the groceries into the kitchen.

Having finally come to her senses, Kristie turned around and followed him into the kitchen. “Hey! How could you

just barge into someone else's house without asking for permission? Who are you?”

“James Griffith.”

“Huh? James Griffith? Who are—” Kristie mumbled, only to gasp in shock when she recalled who James was.

Isn't that my ex-boyfriend whom I dumped?

Thinking James had come to confront her for dumping him, Kristie rushed back to her bedroom. “Oh no... This is

bad! My ex-boyfriend is back! He looks pretty tough. Do you think you can beat him? Maybe we should pack our

stuff and go on a long vacation...” she mumbled anxiously while packing her bags.

When she didn't get a response, she turned around and saw that the bed was empty.

Huh? Wait a minute... Don't tell me he abandoned me and ran off on his own!

Kristie was snapped out of her train of thought when James knocked on the door. Leaning against the doorframe,

he asked, “What would you like for breakfast?”

“Y-You don't need to make me breakfast! I've already broken up with you! I-It may have been one-sided, but it

counts too! Besides, I have a boyfriend now!” Kristie stammered.

James shook his head and let out a helpless chuckle in response. “Where's your boyfriend, then?”

“He probably went out to buy me breakfast or something! You should go before he comes back! He'll beat you up if

he sees you! Just so you know, he's really good at fighting!” Kristie replied.

Noticing that he was holding back his laughter, Kristie threw her clothes into her suitcase and yelled angrily, “You

don't believe me? Fine! I'll give him a call right now and tell him to come beat you up!”

She then pulled out her phone and dialed a number, only to hear a familiar ringtone coming from near the door.

As Kristie looked up, she saw the man waving a phone at her.

Her eyes went wide with shock as she asked, “What have you done to my boyfriend? Did you kill him?”

“Aaah! Give me back my boyfriend! I'll kill you if you dare hurt him!” Kristie screamed as she lunged at him and

clawed at his face.

James frowned as he brushed her off and said, “I'm both Samson and James. You only have one boyfriend, and that

person is me. Do you understand?”

“You killed him and stole his identity?” Kristie screamed at the top of her lungs.

“What are you even...” Realizing that it was pointless to argue, he put his voice-changer on and said, “I was helping

Jeremy test out some medication, and it altered my appearance.”

Kristie was instantly rendered speechless.

“It was nothing. He just wanted to know if I was free to help him out with something,” James replied indifferently.
