Chapter 27: A crush only lasts for a maximum of four months (2/2)

No, wait! What were his words again. 'She's like one of those greedy women'. One of those women?..... So the problem comes in general, it's not exclusively related to her. In easy words, Honey hates all the women who come near Wang Shi ah!

But why?

Is this related to his mother?

Setting her muddled thoughts aside she typed, [Apology accepted! Happy now!? Just a request be gentle to Honey, your harsh words may stir up his anger.]

James set a plate of risotto for her while he picked his own. ”Thanks,” She looked up from her phone to reply.

If Wang Shi scolds Honey, or be harsh, surely it will make him be more remorseful to her and to all other women who'll approach Wang Shi, without them being at fault! And this wouldn't be good for his growing up days.

Hottie Bum, the reply came instantly, [Thanks. Will keep this in mind,]

[]

She put the phone aside and sighed, catching the glance of the two men who were alternating their gazes at her and then to each other.

Suyin, ”WHAT?”

”Nothing,” Though James shook his head, it sounded otherwise.

Suyin narrowed her eyes, ”JAMMIE!?”

”I did nothing. It was Evan who asked me about Hottie Bum. By the way, what was in the message?”

”Your ass,”

”Why my ass? It was Evan who tried to be a busybody. I was merely asking on his behalf,” James pushed the blame to innocent Evan who was still off mood for getting his love moment being disrupted. He glued his gaze to James from the beginning, occasionally taking off to answer Suyin's questions.

Evan ””

Evan shook his head, feeling helpless in front of his 'sweetie'.

Suyin smiled, feeling amused how the infamously cold and stoic businessman from France, Evan Ricci, gave up in front of James.

”He's my crush. Over ten years old crush which I never get over with,” She felt shy while talking about her crush but since she's not disclosing the name, it's perfectly fine to reveal this much information.

Evan nodded, ”Based on a psychologic study, a crush only lasts for a maximum of four months. If it exceeds, then you are already in love.”

”WOWWWW.” James looked at Evan as if seeing an alien.

”Cough cough cough” Suyin chocked on her risotto. Her cheeks turned beetroot red. 'Damn, savage he is,'

Gulping down a glass of water, she turned to look at the two men but caught them lost in each other's eyes.

”Cough.” Evan was conscious of Suyin's presence; he recovered instantly, bringing back his gaze from James. ”I'll take my leave,”

Suyin waved her hand and saw James sprinted after Evan to see him off.

More than thirty minutes later James returned, rewarmed his plate of cold risotto before heading to Suyin's room where she was sprawled on the bed on the stomach, the television sang the latest news all pertaining to her and the shocking reveal. But she was least interested in it; something else occupied her mind.

He plopped on the bed beside her, ”Something's bothering you. Spill the beans. Hide nothing, otherwise, I won't talk,”

She sighed, deflating her head down. ”Nothing much,”

”Hottie bum,” He tested the water by taking his name and she raised her head instantly. ”I was right, it's about him.”
