Chapter 2773 - 2791: Courting Disaster

This vase you bought before, were you planning to give it to me? — James Black’s wife.

James Black replied quickly with a simple "uh-huh."

Jane Sampson chuckled a little.

That’s strange. If it was meant for me, how come I didn’t know? I’ve never even seen this vase. — James Black’s wife.

When I saw this vase at that time, I remember you were arranging flowers. The vase looked quite beautiful, so I thought of buying it for you to use. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Later, I got busy and forgot to give it to you in time. By the time I remembered and asked if you liked arranging flowers, you said not really, and if you didn’t like flower arranging, giving you the vase would be meaningless. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Thinking about it now, it’s just as well I didn’t give it to you. If I had, I couldn’t have brought the vase to this auction event. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Jane Sampson burst into laughter.

She thought for a second and then replied to James Black with a down-to-earth comment.

Do you think it’s possible that what you gave me over two years ago might be sold by me without hesitation when I run low on money? — James Black’s wife.

I think with your frequency of visiting home every three to five months, even if I sold it, you wouldn’t know, so I’d feel very at ease selling it. — James Black’s wife.

The chat box showed the other party was typing.

This lasted for quite a long time.

Probably close to two minutes.

Then, James Black sent a single word back.

Oh. — Jane Sampson’s Mr. Black.

Oh?

Oh?!

Oh, my foot, oh!

Jane Sampson muttered softly and then put her mobile phone down.

At this time, Quincy Forest and Alexander Forest arrived.

The siblings’ seats were specially arranged by the organizer to be behind Jane Sampson’s, in the second row.

As soon as Quincy Forest arrived, she leaned in to whisper with Jane Sampson.

"Let’s have fun this weekend~" Quincy Forest winked at Jane Sampson, "My brother says he wants to have a showdown with Oscar Wilson."

"Why?" Jane Sampson turned slightly to chat with Quincy Forest, "What did Oscar Wilson do to provoke your brother?"

"Oscar Wilson asked Nina if she could introduce him to a friend. Oscar himself said that his friend admired and appreciated Nina, so he wanted to meet her. If Nina agreed, Oscar would bring that friend along on the weekend." Quincy Forest explained, sympathetically glancing at Alexander Forest, "Nina agreed."

"To avoid awkwardness between the two, Oscar organized a ’weekend fun’ group chat so Nina and his friend could get acquainted in the group chat first." Quincy Forest threw her head back and laughed, "Ha ha ha, Nina and that handsome guy were having a great time chatting in the group. My brother, as bold as ever, told them to chat privately and not chirp away non-stop in the group."

"Then Nina and that handsome guy actually added each other as friends and started chatting privately." Quincy Forest finished, holding her belly as she laughed until tears nearly came out, "Do you think my brother became a divine assist for that handsome guy?"

No matter how Jane Sampson thought about it, she felt she owed Alexander Forest a thumbs-up like.

"Masterful move!" Jane Sampson praised Alexander Forest.

"You two little lasses, can’t you see how depressed I am now?" Alexander Forest clutched his heart, "I feel like I’m suffocating, I feel like I’m about to lose my love, I feel like I’m about to lose my sweetheart."

Alexander Forest wasn’t purely acting; his heart was genuinely in a state of panic.

His slip of the tongue that afternoon also arose from that sense of tension and urgency.
