Thea was a beautiful woman who was definitely sought out by many men.

Gladys kept knocking on the door.

Inside the room, Thea and James did not answer her.

Soon, there was no sound from outside.

Zavier must have left.

Thea sighed in relief after hearing that there were no movements outside. She glanced at James, and her pretty face blushed red to her neck.

"What's the matter, Thea? Are you not feeling well?" James asked after sensing something unusual about Thea.

"N-No...I'm alright. Honey, let's...do it. I'll give myself to you," Thea lowered her head, mustered up the courage, and muttered. Although it was her husband, she still felt embarrassed saying such things. Inside her heart, she could not help but feel shy.

James' body trembled after hearing her words.

This day had finally come.

James had never forced it on Thea, even after so long.

He and Thea had only held hands before.

They had not even kissed.

Were they going to take such a big step now?

James glanced at Thea's blushing face and her seductive body curves, and could not help but swallow his saliva.

"Darling, it's the middle of the day, and so many people are outside." James felt a little embarrassed.

In the face of such a beautiful woman, it was the first time he had felt such shyness.

Thea rolled her eyes.

However, James was also correct.

"Then, we'll do it tonight." She mustered the courage.

"Alright." James agreed immediately.

He looked forward to it.

He could not wait for the evening to arrive.

Neither of them spoke again inside the room, and the atmosphere changed suddenly.

After a long time, Thea interrupted the silence and said, "Darling, do you want to know why those bigwigs have so much respect for me?"

"Hmm?"

James glanced at her.

"I-It's because I saved a man ten years ago..."

Thea confessed.

"I-I've never betrayed you though, darling! I don't know who he is and I've never seen his face before."

"Pfft."

James burst out laughing.

No wonder Thea looked preoccupied with thoughts. It was because of this.

It was not a big deal even if she liked the ghost-masked man since he was the man himself.

"What're you laughing about, darling?"

"No wonder those bigwigs respected you so much. There's such a person who existed. He still has so much influence despite being dead. This person must be very extraordinary."

"That's right! You don't know who I rescued ten years ago. He was from the Cadens. Ten years ago, the Cadens were one of the greatest families. Thomas had wide connections with everyone around the globe. I saved one of them, and it was only natural that he took care of me."

Thea glanced at James while speaking.

She was relieved to see that James was calm and not angry.

After telling him about it, Thea felt relieved all over. She smiled playfully. "I-I'll go outside and see if that Zavier is gone. I also want to stop by the supermarket to buy some things to use tonight. I don't want to have a kid so soon."

She got up and left after speaking.

Meanwhile, James was looking forward to the evening's arrival.

However, since they were going to take this step, it was only natural he had to prepare betrothal gifts for Thea's family.

He took out his phone and called Scarlett, "Scarlett, help me prepare some gifts and have them sent to Thea's house. I will choose a date to hold a wedding ceremony with Thea."

"J-James, what should I prepare?"

James fell deep into thought.

It could not be something too extravagant. Otherwise, it would scare the Callahans.

However, it could not be too shabby, either.

"Eighty-eight million eight hundred thousand dollars in cash, a limited edition Firrare, a villa in Goodview Villa District, some gold jewelry and clothes. You can pick out whatever is suitable. Just make sure it's not too overwhelming but not too shabby."

"Understood."

Scarlett nodded and hung up the phone. Then, she went to pick out the gifts personally.
