Chapter 277 - 10.18
James Grind sat on a chair on the balcony on the third floor. He was staring with his empty eyes at the beautiful lake view. He wanted to swim there or walked run around the lakeside. But he was confined in this golden cage by a crazy mafia lord.
"Enjoying the view?" Long Zhen asked. He sat beside James Grind and gazed at the lake scenery in solemn. "It is indeed a beautiful view. No wonder you are here for so long," Long Zhen commented.
James Grind gave him a glance and continued ignoring him. Long Zhen sighed. He pinched James Grind’s cheek and asked, "Tell me, what do you want? Do you want some games? Or some luxury goods? I can buy you anything."
"I want to buy my freedom," James Grind replied sharply. He stared at the lake, but his gaze was staring at nothing, just like his life for a while. It was like a routine of nothing.
Long Zhen shook his head, "I cannot do that. You know that I need you to stay here obediently," he said as he patted James Grind’s head.
"Be a good boy and obey me, okay?" Long Zhen said.
James Grind glared at him and brushed Long Zhen’s hand. He got up from the chair and walked towards the railing. He leaned on the railing, which was made out of thin and fragile glass. "What if I don’t want to be a good boy?"
"What do you mean?" Long Zhen asked suspiciously. He got up from his chair and walked towards James Grind. James Grind warned Long Zhen to stay back, "One more step, and I will jump."
Long Zhen thought it was just an empty threat. But James Grind was not joking when he said that he wanted to jump. When Long Zhen advanced with only one step, James Grind already climbed the railing.
Long Zhen got alerted immediately, "J—Jamie, step down."
"Don’t call me Jamie. My name is James Grind! Nobody is allowed to call me Jamie except my close friends or lover!" James Grind yelled at Long Zhen. Long Zhen’s heart was pinched because of that, but he shook his head. This was not the best time to be grieving over his heart.
