Uncle's Love: My Sweet Little Wife
Chapter 212 Taking Advantage of Me again

Feeling the attention of everyone, Kara was on tenterhooks. Sweat broke out on her nose. She nervously grabbed James' large palm.

James, on the other hand, was used to it and did not care if Sam's attitude.

He pulled Kara to his side and said calmly yet disputably.

"My fiancée is young. This is the first time she has attended such a big banquet."

It was also the first time that James had brought his fiancée in public. He chose Mr. Marshall's birthday out of respect.

Moreover, he emphasized Kara's relationship with him.

All the young ladies present were shocked.

However, no matter how displeased they were, no one dared to voice out their opposition.

Kara did not understand the competition in the business.

She acted properly by James' side and greeted everyone with a sweet smile.

She could not open her heart to strangers. Most of them were James' business partners, therefore, James did most of the talking.

This was the first time Kara had seen James socializing with others. Although he was still expressionless, he was modest and polite as a true gentleman.

"Why are you staring at me? Are you tired?"

He picked a pair of high heels for her today and was worried that she is not used to wearing them. He took her to a balcony away from the crowd and they sat down to take a rest. "Yes, my legs are sore."

After he mentioned it, Kara felt her tiredness.

The evening gown had to be paired with high heels. But she had never worn high heels before. The shoes suited her well but she got tired after standing for a while.

James raised her legs and turned her ankles.

"James, don't,"

Seeing that he was about to squat down, Kara stared at him in shock.

They were in others' home. People would gossip.

"Don't worry."

James was composed and did not care about the gazes of others.

Seeing that her ankles were a little red, he frowned slightly and felt sorry for her.

"I will choose the high heels for you in the future."

Today's shoes were offered by the stylist. Although they were not cheap, they would grind the feet.

"I don't like to wear high heels. I can wear sports shoes, sneakers, and sandals." Kara laughed.

In order to reward him for massaging her feet, she put her hands on his shoulders and kissed him on the face.

"James, you are so nice."

He was considerate and attentive. She was grateful to him.

However, he did not need her gratification, so she could only express it in other ways.

James was stunned and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at her blushing cheeks and knocked on her forehead.

"Taking advantage of me again, right?"

"Yes, can't I?" Kara bit her rosy lips and said regardless of her shyness.

"You will gain the penny and lose the pound, do you understand?" James sat down beside her. His large palm landed on the back of her neck.

His palm moved down her spine bit by bit and finally, gently patted at the end of it.

Kara let out a moan.

Her body trembled. Then, she turned to glare at James.

He flirted with her again!

"Don't allure now. Let's wait till we back home!" James whispered in her ear.

Kara's eyes widened in surprise. After a while, she realized what he meant and wanted to cover her face.

"Behave yourself!"

She warned him in a low voice, being both timid and nervous.

James looked calm. His gaze swept across the people who were staring at them and let out a cold snort.

He did not have the hobby to kiss in public.

The party soon began, and James helped her up and they walked into the hall.

Mr. Marshall came down from the second floor. Everyone congratulated him, and Mr. Marshall thanked them politely.

Then the servants served hot dishes.

The seat was arranged by the host in advance. Every invitation letter matched with a seat.

Someone led James to the front table, which is near the host.

James ignored that and went with Kara.

Since it was a banquet, there were few dishes made of vegetables. James glanced at the table and frowned again.

Kara noticed his expression. She hooked his pinky finger under the table and said, "James, when the dinner is over, I want to have some dessert, okay?" "Don't you afraid of tooth decay?" James grabbed her little hand.

She had a sweet tooth. James had asked Libby to prepare a lot of dessert for her. She ate till her teeth hurt and didn't tell James.

If she hadn't spoken it out in dreams, he wouldn't have known.

Kara did not answer.

Kara blinked with a sense of guilt and cleared her throat.

It was so embarrassing to eat sweet till she got a toothache at this age.

During the meal, Sam came over to chat with James, intentionally leading the topic to cooperation, but James put on a polite smile.

He neither rejected nor made a promise.

Sam could not read his mind left with a cold face.

Kara's arm was short and could not reach some dishes. She blinked her watery eyes at James.

James tacitly served the dishes for her. He only drank some hot water and didn't touch anything else.

Jenny, who was sitting at the same table, frowned unhappily when she saw their interaction.

"James, are these dishes not to your liking?"

Hearing Jenny's voice, Kara halted and looked up. She found that Jenny had been focusing on James. Immediately, she lost her appetite.

James glanced at her and asked, "Are you full?"

"No, but I have lost my appetite."

James had already become someone else's "dish", how could she have the mood to eat?

James did not force her. He brought the fruit salad to her and asked her to pick a share.

Kara cheered up a bit.

Jenny was completely ignored. She gritted her teeth silently and darkness flashed through her eyes.

She had specially asked the Marshalls to arrange her and James at the same table, but she did not expect that James would bring Kara with him, which he had never done before. After having some fruit salad, Kara got up to use the washing room.

James was worried that she would get lost, so he asked a servant to take her there.

The Marshalls' villa was very large. They walked for a long while before replaceing the washing room.

On the way out, Kara stood in front of a big mirror in the bathroom and made a face.

"Hey, aren't you the girl who got engaged with Mr. James in place of your cousin?"

Kara looked at the two women in surprise. She did not know them at all.

Kara was displeased to hear "in place of".

However, Kathleen did not show up in the engagement. It was understandable that others would misunderstand.

"Hello, I'm Kara. May I know your name?"

Kara introduced herself very politely.

"We don't care who you are. As for who we are, you are not worthy to know," One woman in black dress sneered.

Kara smiled. She was not interested in them either.

She walked past them. Her indifference irritated another woman.

She stretched out her leg to trip Kara up. Kara had to stop.
