Chapter 142 She Is My Woman


    James was like a dormant beast with his gloomy and cold aura spreading outwards.


    He was just about to step forward and protect Kara behind him when he heard her counterattack with a


    smile.


    "You are right. Maybe it is fate that Kathleen did not appear during the engagement. James and I are


    fated to be together. No one can stop us."


    Emily was too shocked to reply.


    She widened her eyes, not expecting the delicate and weak little girl to be so eloquent. It was really


    surprising.


    "Kara, I''m your father. Come, here''s your red envelope." Quentin changed the topic and gave her a big


    red envelope.


    Quentin never cared about the affairs of the Hemming family. He usually yed with his own


    calligraphy and paintings and often did not stay at home.


    In addition, his rtionship with James was not good, so they rarely met each other. Their rtionship


    was even more indifferent than strangers.


    Kara looked at Quentin in surprise and respectfully called him father, taking the red envelope.


    ''The fashionabledy sitting next to Quentin must be James'' mother.'' She was nervous and respectfully


    called her mother.


    Keely sized up Kara from head to toe. Seeing that she was obedient, she did not like her very much.


    If she chose a daughter-inw, she would definitely choose a beautiful and wealthy youngdy, instead


    of a petty girl.


    However, even if she was unhappy with the woman James chose, she could only hide it in her heart.


    Realizing that Keely''s attitude was a little distant and did not say a word, Kara felt even more uncertain.


    Finally toasting the tea of several elders, Kara had already guessed the rtionship between the other


    people of the Hemming family and James.


    Other than the smiling Fourth Uncle, the others were not very good to James, especially James''


    parents between whom was no exchange of words throughout the entire process.


    Emma sat next to Emily and watched as her mother gave Kara a big red envelope just because Kara


    served her a cup of tea. .


    She clenched her fists in anger and wanted to strangle Kara.


    ''This woman was really calcting. She chased Kathleen away and had sex with James, even


    bing his future wife.''


    Today, Eli also came. Ever since Kara entered the living room, his gaze had never left her.


    Eli clenched her hands on her legs. Seeing that Kara would look at James whenever he moved and


    they had a tacit understanding, he was filled with jealousy.


    ''Why didn''t you wait for me and get engaged to James? I couldn''t figure it out.''


    After toasting the tea, Kara took several red envelopes.


    She obediently retreated behind James, and then they ate desserts together while asking her some


    questions.


    Gracie and Emily would ask her some tricky questions from time to time, and Kara would answer them


    if she could, and smile if she could not.


    But when Eli asked her a question, the smile on her face froze.


    "Kara, do you like James?"


    Instantly, the surroundings quieted down, and everyone stared at Kara.


    James narrowed his cold eyes to warned Eli. However, Eli looked straight at Kara and did not care


    about his threat.


    Kara was a little guilty, but when she thought about her actions now represented James since they had


    been engaged, she absolutely could not make mistakes.


    She raised her beautiful and slender neck, a bright smile slowly blooming on her face.


    "Yes. It is because I like James that I get engaged to him."


    "But you call him Uncle James. He is your elder, how could it be?" Eli said excitedly.


    "Eli, she is your sister-inw!"


    James'' voice was cold and his eyes revealed a hint of danger.


    "Eli, don''t be envious of your cousin. Your cousin is so charming that many young girls like him, right?"


    Kara knew that Zoey was giving her a way out. She nodded and smiled, calm andposed.


    "It''s just the way I call him. James treats me well. He can appease me when I need it the most. My


    heart is not made of stone, so I fell in love with him naturally."


    When James heard her exnation, he felt no more anger. He was like a cating cheetah as he


    stared at her with a bright gaze.


    Kara was embarrassed by his gaze and blushed, but she did not avoid his gaze.


    In the eyes of others, the situation between them was called an eye contact.


    When Eli heard her words, he felt agony.


    ''If I could treat you well and appear in time, would you love him?''


    "Grandma, Kara was tiredst night. I''ll take her to rest." James was impatient and carried Kara


    upstairs.


    Everyone knew why Kara would be tiredst night.


    When Eli heard this, his face paled.


    Especially when he found that Kara''s footsteps were strange, he imagined that she would lie under


    another man, which made him full of hate and anger.


    Emma stared at Eli, and she felt that he and Kara must have a shameful rtionship.


    ''Kara was really good at ying with Eli''s feelings, but in the end, she climbed onto James'' bed.''


    Kara did not know what everyone was thinking. After she followed James upstairs, she followed him to


    a bedroom.


    She was curious and wanted to look around, but she was suddenly hugged by him.


    James was tall enough to easily wrap her in his arms, his lower jaw rubbing against her head.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "I have treated you well and appeased you when you need it the most, so you fell in love with me


    naturally, right?"


    His voice was as charming as a soul-hooked weapon.


    When he spoke, he deliberately exhaled by her ear. His deep voice echoed in her ears. Her heart


    trembled and she unconsciously swallowed her saliva.


    "James, listen to me. Those words were all..."

    "Exnation is a cover-up to hide the truth." He chuckled.


    The curtains of the room were pulled open, and the sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows


    onto them.


    She turned to look at him. He stood against the light with smile. Her heart beat faster and her mind


    went nk.


    Kara did not dare to speak again. James enjoyed the time. He hugged her for a while before letting her


    go and rest.


    A certain amount of physical training in the morning was still challenging for her.


    Kara was too tired. When he was obediently carried and ced by the bed, she really did not have the


    strength to struggle. After lying down, she fell asleep shortly after.


    Jamesbed the bangs in front of her forehead and covered her with a nket. He then pulled the


    curtains shut and left the bedroom.


    He opened the door and saw Eli leaning against the door and staring at him with resentment. He was


    not surprised and closed the door with an indifferent expression.


    "James, it''s too much for you to marry Kara for your own benefit!"


    Eli cheated himself that the reason why Kara was engaged to James was definitely because James


    didn''t want to lose face as Kathleen was missing, so he asked Kara to support him.


    "You''re thinking too much. I got engaged to Kara because we were in love!" James said coldly.


    "You can fool them, but you can''t fool me." Eli refused to believe that Kara would willingly marry him.


    "James, did you threaten her with some despicable means so that Kara would agree to your


    engagement?"


    It was obvious that Eli hated him to the core.


    "It''s up to you." James was toozy to exin.


    If Eli was not his cousin, he would not talk to him.


    Seeing that he was leaving, Eli wanted to grab his shoulder.


    However, before his hand could touch him, James pinched his wrist, which made him in a huge pain


    and his forehead covered in cold sweat. But Eli endured the pain and did not make a sound.


    "Eli, stay away from her. She is my woman!"
