Chapter 328
When Zachary returned home, he found Mia excitedly holding an invitation. "Zac, what should | get Sarah for her
birthday? She seems to have everything." Zachary gave a bitter smile and went to his study to work, planning to
ask Sarah about the invitation tomorrow.
At the Chancer house.
While James was in the shower, Charlotte sat on the bed browsing her phone. The bedside table kept buzzing
with incoming messages.
Curiosity got the better of her. She picked up James's phone, seeing it was work messages.
She decided to look through it and found several disturbing messages - ones James had sent to Sarah.
"Sarah, | heard you broke up with Zachary. How are you feeling?"
"If you're unhappy, we could talk."
"Sarah, don't be too sad..."
Message after message to Sarah. She couldn't believe James was consoling her like this.
He'd promised to cut contact with Sarah. Why was he so quick to comfort her after her breakup?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat evening, James left work early. Instead of heading home, he drove to Adams University.
He walked confidently to the counseling office, carrying a bag of desserts.
Sarah looked up in surprise when he entered.
"Why are you here?" she frowned slightly.
James set the desserts on her desk. "Just checking on you."
Sarah doubted his simple explanation. Such unexpected kindness usually cwith ulterior motives.
She regarded him calmly. "What do you really want?"
James smiled self-deprecatingly. "I heard about your breakup with Zachary. Just wanted to see how you're doing."
Checking on her?
Sarah almost laughed. Since when did she need his concern?
"Mr. Chancer, | don't need this. If there's nothing else, please leave and take your desserts with you," she said
coldly.
James's eyes darkened as he shifted uncomfortably. "Look, Sarah, divorce doesn't mean we can't be friends. It's
normal forto worry about you. But | need to be honest - Zachary's from a different world than we are. His
family will choose his marriage partner, and your relationship with him is doomed. Just look at what happened
when Vivian cback."
Sarah laughed bitterly, looking at him with contempt. "See what exactly? What right do you have to warn me?
He's different from us? Have you done any better?"
James's face flushed then paled. He knew Sarah was mocking him.
Indeed, he'd been no different from Zachary - perhaps even worse.
"Sarah, | just care about you," James tried to explain.
"Please leave. | don't need your concern," Sarah said impatiently.
Seeing how much she despised his presence, James felt wounded. As he turned
to leave, she called after him, "Take your desserts!"
James flinched, nodded slightly, and left with the desserts.
Sarah massaged her temples tiredly.
