Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife
Chapter 196 Ready for the Consequence

Standing aside, Jenny listened to Emily's comments on Kara and felt quite pleased.

She didn't understand how Kara, who had just a few advantages, could gain James' adoration. Therefore, she was very angry when Kara criticized her. She thought that Kara deserved these vicious words.

However, she was surprised that Kara should take in every word of Emily with a smile.

This made Kara whether stupid or hypocritical.

Seeing that Kara answered her question with a polite smile all the time, Emily was annoyed.

She said, "It's been quite a while since I came here, why hasn't the tea been ready yet?"

Kara gritted her teeth as she was a little uncomfortable with serving tea and Emily had known that. She knew that Emily was deliberately offending her.

"Sorry, Aunt Emily. I'm not very good at it. Jenny is my secretary, why not ask her to serve you tea instead."

It was the secretaries' duty to make tea for the guests. Kara had the right to ask Jenny to do so.

Jenny froze as she did not expect that Kara would turn to her.

However, she wasn't going to offer help.

Thus, she smiled awkwardly and said in a sorry tone, "Miss Kara, I'm afraid I can't help. There are other things I need to attend to after I get these documents. Please excuse me."

Kara was a little dissatisfied.

But she didn't intend to make Jenny linger on.

On the other hand, Emily wouldn't let Kara go so easily. She thought it was mild to make Kara only be scalded once.

She thought the rightful lesson Kara should get is getting a scald serious enough to be sent to the hospital.

"Kara, don't replace excuses. If you really respect me as your aunt, why can't you serve me tea?"

Kara wanted to roll her eyes when she was accused of being disrespectful.

She thought, 'Why can't you be a person worth being respected?'

Kara reluctantly squatted down again and carefully checked the buttons on the kettle to make sure it was okay for her to carry it up.

Emily looked coldly at Kara's delicate hands and her careful movement, despising her even more.

She thought with confidence, 'As naive and simple-minded as her, she will dare not to disobey me ever again.'

Thinking of her own daughter being teased by Kara several times and even driven abroad, at last, she wanted to splash the kettle of boiling water onto Kara's face.

She wanted Kara to suffer the humiliation her daughter used to suffer.

It was not because that Kara was ignorant that she did not know how to make tea. It was because she had never done it in person before.

Being with James, she was treated like a princess. James had never asked her to serve him tea before.

Kara knew how to boil the kettle of water, but she didn't know how to use this high-tech machine to make tea.

After trying for a while, she finally made a cup of tea. She took a deep breath as the scent of the tea spread in the office.

Judging from the fragrance of the tea, she could tell that this tea was definitely of high quality.

She poured a cup of tea and delivered it to Emily.

On the other side, James, who had finally finished the meeting walked quickly back to his office.

Although he was quite used to tense work, he blamed his work for being too much since he wanted to see Kara as soon as possible.

Seeing his energetic steps and cheerful expression, Nolan also felt very glad.

He knew that James could only be this happy because of Kara.

He also quickened his pace and came to James' office ahead of James to open the door for him.

Opening the door, both of them smelled a refreshing fragrance of tea, and James smiled slightly.

He thought that Kara was so concerned about him that she made him tea to relieve his tiredness due to the hard work.

...

However, the next moment, he heard Kara's exclamation.

He frowned and ran forward to pull her into his arms. It was then that he saw her palm which turned red because of the scald. "Kara, be careful. Serving tea shouldn't be that hard."

When Emily saw James suddenly return, she was somewhat afraid to be blamed, but she acted as if she was completely calm. Kara was shocked and mad when she heard Emily's lie.

She had been very careful. But Emily deliberately let go of the cup when she handed the cup to Emily. That was why she got scalded.

She did not expect that Emily would be so mean, so she was caught off guard and got hurt.

James hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the hot water on her skin. Seeing that two of her fingers also turned abnormally red, he was instantly irritated. "Nolan, go get the ointment for scald." Nolan immediately did as he said.

James gently held her palm, feeling extremely distressed.

"How do you feel? Does it hurt a lot?"

Kara bit her lower lip. Although she found it not so serious, when she saw his worried look, she suddenly felt a sense of grievance and nodded slightly.

As a normal human being made of flesh and blood, she was sure to feel pain with boiling water over her hand.

James clenched the handkerchief tight as if he was clenching the neck of the person who made Kara hurt.

He lowered his head and kissed her palm, "Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore soon."

She was more touched at his gentle gesture and concerned expression than at all those clothes and decorations he bought for her.

She felt tears welling up in her eyes and stared at him without a word.

James was always by her side when she was helpless and hopeless.

She didn't see any reason for her to reject accepting him and being closer to him.

James saw that she began to cry and thought that she did so because of the pain. He felt empathy for her. Whenever she was in pain, he would also be very painful.

He held her tightly and looked around coldly, blaming himself for not protecting her.

"Kara, I'm sorry."

Kara shook her head, not understanding why he apologized.

James rubbed her head gently and kissed her to comfort her.

Emily, who was sitting aside, looked at them and sneered disdainfully.

She regarded Kara's behavior as extremely pretentious. She despised Kara for crying in James' arms simply because of being scalded.

She now understood why Kara would attract James more than Kathleen.

Kathleen indeed had fewer wiles to charm a man than Kara.

"Kara, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital? If your injury is too serious, you may have to do Esthetic Restoration," Emily mocked.

Although Kara was extremely angry, she still smiled at her politely.

"Aunt Emily, don't be so nervous. I'll be better after applying for some medicine later."

She would not give Emily the impression that she was weak or easily irritated.

But James didn't have to mind what kind of impression he had on Emily, so he glared at her directly.

Even though she was his aunt, he couldn't allow her to bully Kara.

Now that she did, she'd better be ready for the consequence.
