Chapter 42
I had nowhere to run and was forced to go with the flow. "What are you trying to do, Uncle James?"
"It’s such a pity for you to have to stay together with that lunatic," James said with a chuckle. "We have plenty of time ahead of us. You might as well ditch him and date me instead."
"But the doctor just told me I’m pregnant. Grandpa really cares about this baby. What if the baby doesn’t make it?" I said with a smile. "That wouldn’t be good, would it, Uncle James? You can wait for a little while longer, right?"
James narrowed his eyes, clearly enjoying my reply.
He reached out and held my chin with one hand. "What a little vixen you are."
My smile was becoming forced as I tried to hold back my disgust. How could someone like him still be living so brazenly?
"Okay, I have plenty of time. Let’s wait," he said before leaning in closer with his hand still on my chin.
I frowned as I tried to dodge him, but that made him annoyed. "What? Not even a kiss? Come on. You can’t lead people on and then act all shy and innocent."
He was starting to lose his patience, but I was starting to not be able to keep up my facade.

I looked at Dexter in shock. "H–How did you get out?"
