Chapter 174 Why The Hell Are You Crying

“Come back here!” Kristie exclaimed frantically.

She finally got to her feet after removing her cumbersome heels and rushed to keep up.

By the time she reached the empty streets, James was nowhere to be found.

“Why won’t you listen to me, you stupid Gray Wolf! I didn’t do it on purpose.” Kristie sobbed profusely as

she took in the desolate scene around her.

She had no idea that they were siblings.

Kristie crouched down and burst into uncontrollable tears as she was overcome with the indignity she’d

suffered.

He’s too much!

How could he abandon me in such an unfamiliar place?

Several blonde-haired youths who were passing by noticed Kristie weeping by the road. They took in her

flawlessly fair skin and exchanged glances before making their way toward her.

One of the youths crouched down beside Kristie and asked in broken Anglandurn, “Hey, why are you

crying?”

Kristie raised her head and was repulsed by their hoodlum-like behavior. “How does this concern you?

Leave me alone!”

She stood up and prepared to leave.

“Come on, don’t go! Let’s have some fun together!” The youth grabbed Kristie.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” Kristie shrieked as she slapped his hand off her. The youths started

encircling her as if she were part of their gang to avoid attracting too much attention.

They were about to coerce her to go along with them when a tall and broad figure appeared menacingly.

“Let her go.”

The youths were annoyed at being disrupted. “Who the hell are you? She’s ours now, so get out of our

—”

The youth did not get to finish his sentence, as he was punched in the face.

Before any one of the youths could react, they were already lying on the ground whining in pain with

aches in various parts of their body.

Once he was done thrashing the delinquents, James pulled Kristie along with him stonily and strode off.

“Slow down. I can’t keep up.” Kristie stumbled behind him and cast him a sidelong glance. She had not

foreseen his return.

She sniffled and added, “I’ll apologize to your sister once I’m back in the country. I’m aware of my

mistake, so please tell me that you won’t leave me.”

James ignored her.

Kristie cried out in pain and tripped.

She would have fallen if James had not supported her. His face was lined with impatience. “What is it

again?”

I must be out of my mind. Why did I come all the way back here out of concern for her safety?

She’s indeed a worrisome creature. How senseless is she to be out crying in such cold weather? To think

she managed to draw the attention of a bunch of thugs! She’d be done for if I hadn’t been there.

Kristie whimpered piteously. “I think I hurt my feet.”

It was only then that he noticed that she was barefooted. Her pale soles were covered in dirt, while her

left one had been cut by shards and was bleeding ceaselessly.

He was ticked off. “Why aren’t you wearing your shoes? Are you daft?”

“That’s it! I’ve had enough of your temper!” Kristie was at her limit. “It’s all thanks to your vanishing act! I

wouldn’t have been able to walk at all if I’d continued wearing my heels.”

In the next second, she put on a pitiful look as she clung to his arm. “Come now, don’t be mad at me. I’ll

do anything you say if you stop being angry.”

“Get your hands off of me.”

“I don’t want to! Carry me. I can’t walk and my foot is bleeding!”

“I’ll hail a cab.”

“I’m having a migraine right now and can’t stand sitting in a car!”

No matter what James suggested, Kristie hung onto him stubbornly as if she feared he’d escape. In the

end, he was left with no choice but to carry her back to the hotel on foot.

Once they reached the hotel room, James helped tend to Kristie’s wounds. He then placed some

medication and a glass of warm water on the side table.

“These are your pills. Remember to take them later. I’ve sent a message to Cillian. He’ll be here

tomorrow morning.”

“But I want you and only you!” Kristie held his arm. “Please don’t leave me. I’ll apologize to your sister all

night if that’s what it takes to make you stay right now.”

She was about to make the call when James held onto her hand. “Ms. Winton, that won’t be necessary.”

“Everyone makes mistakes. You can’t just condemn me without giving me a second chance.” Kristie’s

tears flowed freely. “Besides, she was guilty of bullying me too.”

“Why the hell are you crying? I didn’t even so much as reprimand you.” James was vexed. “Stop it!”

Kristie’s wails increased in volume. Her make-up continued to smear even further when she wiped away

her tears, so much so that her face had a comical look to it.

“Says who? You’re too much! Jeremy and Wyatt don’t even raise their voice against me. You’re the only

one who’s let me shed these many tears. This is the first time I’ve been so upset! I even hurt my foot

because of you!”

James’ eyebrows twitched as he relented in exasperation, “Stop crying. I’ll stay with you.”

Kristie instantly did as told. “I’m hungry.”

James had intended to call for room service but had to compromise when Kristie made a fuss about it.

Ultimately, he changed her room into a condominium service suite and requested some ingredients to be

delivered.

Kristie held onto him from behind as he cooked in the kitchen.

“I need to prepare our meal.”

“Go ahead. I won’t be in your way,” Kristie said. “I’m just afraid you’ll run away.”

James let her be.

Kristie got bolder as she took advantage of James’ silence as consent to feel him up. He finally put a

stop to her advances by grabbing hold of her hand just as she was reaching under his shirt.

James’ face was as dark as a nimbus cloud. “Can you please stop fooling around?”

“It’s just a little touch.”

“Keep this up and I’ll stop cooking.”

Kristie pursed her lips. “I don’t mind you returning the favor!”

James managed to put together a three-course meal despite the limited ingredients available. Kristie

licked her bowl clean and was pacified for merely ten minutes before pestering for a shower.

James shut her down. “That will have to wait till tomorrow. Your foot cannot be exposed to water.”

“But I’m all sweaty. I don’t feel comfortable sleeping in such a state.”

“No way.”

“Gray Wolf, you’re unbelievable!”

Kristie tackled James, hitting and biting him. Her tactic worked as James grew so sick of her harrying

that he let her do as she wished.

James supported Kristie by the hand into the bathroom and went out to get a bathrobe.

He was caught off guard by how swiftly Kristie had undressed by the time he returned.

Her skin was pearlescent, and her body had just the right amount of softness despite being slim. Her

back would have been flawless if not for the ugly scar that resembled a millipede stretching across it.

James had barely caught a glance before he turned his back to her. “I’ll leave the bathrobe here.”

“Don’t you dare take a step out!” Kristie yelled. “You have to monitor me. What if I slip and drown in the

bathtub?”
