"If you need to discuss matters, go into the study." Old Master Black waved his hand at James and Liam, urging them inside. After James left, he leisurely reclined on the chair.
Jane Sampson reached out to rock the reclining chair, her gaze following James as he walked inside.
"They've all gone in, what else is there to see?" Old Master Black teased Jane, "Are you really so fond of him? Before, you used to say he annoyed you to death."
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder, close up, it's a nuisance. At most, I'll fancy him for two more days." Jane raised two thumbs up, "No more than three days, I'm sure I'll find him annoying again."
This was definitely a sincere statement, making Old Master Black chuckle.
Liam and James were in the study talking for less than half an hour. When he left, Jane Sampson was in the courtyard playing ball with the Great General.
James had finished but didn't come downstairs; he stood on the study's balcony watching.
