Jessica was no longer the beloved girl from the Clifford family. But she was used to talking like one. So she said "as long as" and it was a strong phrase. But she didn't realize it.
However, as far as James was concerned, it showed how strong Jessica determined to leave him.
Three times.
Within the half-hour, after James returned, Jessica told him three times to let her go.
Jessica said she wanted to leave multiple times, which pushed him on the edge of irritation. It would explode at any time.
However, what was more powerful was the way Jessica said, "sex slave." It was both embarrassing and interesting, which made James's anger go away. He couldn't help teasing her.
James thought with changing any looks. His eyes were deep and meaningful playful.
"Sex slave?" The way James said it was enchanting, "Where do you hear it?"
Jessica didn't know why James was interested in something else because she was talking about letting her go.
