Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife novel Chapter 83

Finally, Eli was stubborn enough to win.

He tried to talk with Kara along the way, but Kara kept her head down. She even ran upstairs as soon as they returned to the villa.

James was satisfied with her since she was aware of avoiding other guys, but when he looked at Eli, who was sitting on the sofa, his face cooled down again.

"Will she disturb your life living here?"

Eli spoke with a tone as if Kara was his girl. James frowned and didn't respond.

During dinner, Kara still kept her head down, just eating the dishes near her.

Usually, Kara would be the one who start talking when she was eating with James.

But now, Eli's voice made James sulk when Kara was silent.

"Kara, are you a rabbit? Why are just eating carrots and cabbages?"

Eli was staring at her, with a smile on his face.

Kara looked up in confusion, then she found the two dishes in front of her were made of carrots and cabbages.

The long-term medication had almost made Kara a vegetarian, and she liked carrots very much. Libby was such a good cook that no matter in what style she cooked carrots, Kara would like it. Because of that, carrots had become the main ingredient in Kara's diet.

"I'm not a rabbit." She explained in a powerless voice.

"Of course I know you are not a rabbit, but you should eat some meat." Then Eli delivered her a few pieces of meat with the public chopsticks.

Kara was dumb.

Kara stared at the meat in her bowl, not knowing how to refuse.

"No talk while eating," James said in a cold voice.

But Eli didn't care. "Come on, we're not eating at the Hemming's. There are not so many rules. Your cold tone will scare Kara."

Kara was still dumb.

Kara was scared, not by the cold tone of James, but the enthusiasm of Eli.

"Kara, try this."

Eli wanted to deliver her some chicken, but Kara moved the bowl away and the chicken fell on the table.

The atmosphere was awkward.

"Sorry, I, I don't like it very much," Kara apologized in a timid voice.

"It's OK. Just tell me if you don't like it." Eli wanted to clean it for her while Kara still kept her head down.

James took a glance at Kara, then put down his chopsticks, saying, "I've finished."

Kara put her chopsticks down out of her instinct when she saw James finish.

Usually, they would eat together and finished together.

"Kara, have you got enough?" Eli was puzzled because she had just eaten a little.

"Yes, I have."

Kara was afraid of those who were too enthusiastic because she didn't know how to respond to them.

Realizing that Eli had been staring at her, she felt a little helpless and glanced at James, saying, "Uncle James, I, I'm going upstairs for my homework."

When Eli noticed Kara's uneasiness, he wondered, "What was she afraid of?"

"Was she not happy living here?"

Kara had been bullied by the Quains, then her father sent her here because he and James are friends.

"You are being so cold. You will scare her." Eli was giving a lecture to James.

"Have you finished? Then I ask the driver to take you home."

Even when James was urging him to go, he went to the sofa and sat down, his eyes glancing at upstairs.

"Why are you urging me? Let me take a break after dinner."

"Kara is not doing well in her study. I'll go upstairs and help her with it."

"No need."

Mason respectfully extended his hand, guiding Eli to leave.

James returned to his bedroom and took off his tie in frustration. When thought of Eli's vows just now, he gnashed.

He even wanted to beat him.

After putting on pajamas, he went to the study but didn't see Kara. When he knocked on her door, there is no response either.

"Libby, where's Kara?" James asked as he went downstairs.

"I didn't see her coming downstairs," Libby answered.

James opened her room with the key, but she wasn't in there. He had become worried and took out his phone to call her.

He heard the bell immediately, then he followed it along the corridor to the studio.

He kicked the door open, and Kara in the studio was startled.

Then she turned around and asked, "Uncle James, what's going on?"

James was relieved and canceled the call. "What are you drawing?"

She was in the middle of her sketch. It was a realistic potted flower on the balcony.

"Tomorrow is Mr. Master's class. I want to review the techniques that he taught last week." Kara explained in a low voice.

"Alright."

James narrowed his cold eyes when he found that her face was a little pale.

"Are you feeling alright, Kara?"

"Yes, maybe it was because I opened the window."

A trace of panic flashed through Kara's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by her shaking head.

James stepped in front of her and was about to touch her head, but Kara dodged.

His hand stilled in the air, and this was the very first time that she rejected his approach.
