Chapter 1218 Jonnyâs excuse sucks (2) her, and Iâll go back and check.â
Jonny, who was about the same height as James, looked up and met his gaze. He was struck by the clear, watery eyes that seemed to hold a stream of emotions. Jonnyâs heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked away.
âI just met her. She brought a lot of people with her and said they were going to your house to take the childâ¦â
âThen I have to go back and check!â
Amelia pretended to be nervous and quickly got up, but James held her waist.
urgently You go see James probably couldnât stand Jonnyâs lame excuse, so he made up one himself to get rid of him.
Suppressing the urge to laugh, Amelia took Jamesâ hand and pretended to be worried. âIf it werenât for the urgent matter, I would have gone with you.â
James patted her hand and reassured her, âItâs the same for me to go alone. Besides, with me there, Jocelyn wonât dare to cause trouble in our house.â
Seeing Amelia nodding without any trace of acting, James picked up his coat and got up.
Jonny didnât expect to fool James so easily. The corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.
Before he could even raise his eyebrows and show a victorious smile, James, who had walked halfway, suddenly turned back.
âYouâre quite familiar with Jocelyn. Why donât you come with me?â
Jonny frowned. âWhy should I follow you, I am an outsider, to deal with your business with Jocelyn?â
James put his coat in the crook of his arm, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at Jonny with a half-smile. âWho knows if youâre deliberately trying to get rid of me and then kidnap my wife?â
