My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 510 “Such a reason.”

Returning to her thoughts, Gloria Taylor just heard what James Moore said, she had a look at Edith Hall, and then turned to James, she asked, "What do you mean?"

James answered with a smile, "Miss Hall asked me if I could judge someone's inner thought through one's petty actions and expressions." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Gloria nodded and asked, "Can you?"

James stared at her for seconds and answered, "In theory, yes."

"So tell me what Gloria is thinking about now?" Edith was curious.

As an actress, it was necessary to act the written character out vividly to the audiences, while a psychologist needed to do psychoanalysis through one's eyes and moves. And an actress needed to act character's real thought through eyes and some moves. So in a sense, they were similar. Gloria was a scriptwriter, so of course, she was interested in the experiment. So James put the goblet down cooperatively and stared to Gloria for a while and then said, "Gloria is sitting sideways, and Mr. Clarke is in that direction."

James didn't say anymore but just looked at Gloria smilingly. Edith paused and said a long "Ohhhhhh" meaningfully. Gloria felt a little embarrassed because of their stare, so she touched her nose for one second. She changed the sitting position but didn't deny, and then she changed the topic unnaturally, "So how about Edith?"

"Miss Edith is a lively girl," James said that and turned his eyesight to Edith's feet.

Edith was sitting with legs bent, the tiptoe of one leg was dipping the ground as if she was ready to stand up anytime. And James replied quickly, "And loves to join in the fun."

Edith put the legs back reflexively and said," How scrupulous you are, I need to be more careful of my moves in front of you."

"Don't be so serious; I won't be observant deliberately of others except for the patients," James said that with a smile, which made him look more approachable. Edith used to think James with prejudice; she had thought he saved Gloria for some purposes. Still, he didn't do anything bad to her; on the contrary, he dared to fight with Kenny Clarke for her.

So the attitude she treated to James had changed completely. Who didn't like such an easygoing and capable man? Edith shut up suddenly while they were chatting happily. Gloria felt confused and asked, "What's wrong?" Edith flicked her chin to the behind of Gloria, Gloria looked back quickly and found Kenny Clarke was walking towards here, it was a short distance between them, so Kenny came here just in a few steps, he didn't look at Gloria at all but just stared to James and said, "Mr. Moore." James stood up and smiled, "Anything wrong? Mr. Clarke."

"Or? You think I just come here to chat?" Kenny hummed sullenly.

Gloria didn't believe Kenny wants to ask James about something; it looked more like he wanted to fight with James because of his dark face. James just stood up and followed Kenny to leave outside. Gloria came back to earth until they had disappeared in her eyes. Looking at her worried face, Edith asked," Kenny looks for James for what?"

Gloria shook her head and answered, "I don't know."

Through Kenny's attitude, they easily found he had a problem with James. It must be an easy talk between them, but they trusted James wouldn't lose out.

James followed Kenny to go out and went inside the restroom, which had already been prepared for Kenny. Kenny was sorting out his sleeve with his back to James when James followed into the room, he titled the head and said, "Mr. Clarke? What..."

Suddenly, Kenny turned around and kicked on Jame's legs hard, and then gave him an overarm throw to the ground. James knew Kenny would do something but never expected he would fight with him without any words. Kenny's attack was powerful and fast, so even if James had already prepared well, he still responded without enough time. James lay on the ground with eyes closed for a few seconds, and then stood up, shook the nonexistent dust off from his clothes, and smiled gently, "Mr. Clarke, is this your way to solve the problem?"

"Of course not, I just think you worth it, so I come here and help you." Kenny sorted his sleeve again and sat on the sofa. James had never thought Kenny could say such a reason; it was ridiculous, even comical! But Kenny said that so sincerely, it looked like a truth...

James felt both comical and annoyed, "So should I thank you for your help?"

"No need to thank." Kenny said that desultorily and threw some paper to James, "Mr. Moore seems to care about my wife's health very much."

That's a medical examination report, and Gloria's name was written on it. Kenny used to take her to do the physical examination, so there was the backup copy in the hospital, and Kenny found James retrieved the specific report of Gloria, which the result of every examination and somatic function were written on it clearly.

"You are wrong, Mr. Clarke, Gloria is not your wife now, your fiancee is Su Mian." James sat opposite to Kenny relaxedly with a smile on his face, Kenny stared to him sullenly and said in a cold voice, "James Moore, I know what you want, you know that too, you can't fool me."

"I just care about Gloria, can't I?" Jame's grin was fading, and he said, "Mr. Clarke, Gloria was the mother of your kid, but she still had her own right to make friends with others, it is not good to be so possessive."

James changed a gentler tone as if he was trying to persuade Kenny.
