Chapter 197 You’ll Be My Girlfriend Today

• When James walked out of the study with Cynthia in his arms, the latter was still stupidly playing along with him, her face blushing with shyness. It wasn’t until they were a distance away that the blush in her cheeks showed signs of fading.
• When Cynthia finally came to her senses, she realized that James was still holding her in his arms as he moved on slowly. Instantly, she blew up and escaped his clutches at once. Feeling angry and embarrassed, she glared at him fiercely, saying, “Why did you do that and even call me Cindy, James? You’re obviously embarrassing me on purpose!”
• James put his empty hand back in his trouser pocket without saying a word. Seeing that Cynthia had started losing her temper again, he raised an eyebrow impassively with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “My mom’s been trying to set me up with a girlfriend lately. Ruby—the woman just now—is a daughter of the Groves Family, which has been friends with the Lawsons for generations. I can’t embarrass her by saying no to her face, or my mom will rip me to shreds. So, I can only have you help cover for me, of course.”
