It was known to all that James Palmer favored women who were skilled at dancing. Like the red roses in full bloom, their relationships with him were beautiful and juicy. The problem was that the bloom time for the roses was short, so those women, more often than not, were abandoned by James within one month. James continued his carefree life till he ran into Emma Smith, who earned her living by dancing in the bars. Back then, Emma, in an old but whitened dress, had no makeup on her face, but she completely swept James off his feet. Then, the change in James was impressive. He was no longer a womanizer and persistently wooed Emma in the next four years. For Emma, he stopped dating other women and lived like a monk. To marry her, he had a falling out with his family. He even swallowed his pride and learned to cook for her. In the sixth year of their marriage, Emma lost her left leg in a car accident caused by Sophia Curtis, a substitute in her crew. Furious and grieved, James swore to kill the wrongdoer. Emma called James when their son, Marcus Palmer, vomited blood because of the high fever. Only then did she discover his affairs. She heard him, who had sworn to seek justice for her, softly soothe Sophia, "Sweetheart, Sophia, don't be afraid. Never will I hurt you. I know very well that it was an accident. Come, dance for me. You are the best flamenco dancer I have ever seen."
