Chapter 88: Contempt
"Emma, you’re a good girl, and I’m sure you’ll find a husband who truly loves you," James Brown tried to console Emma Campbell in the gentlest tone possible.
Emma’s eyes instantly showed a profound sense of loss, but she then smiled brightly and said, "Big Brother Brown, I understand. I won’t be a burden to you."
James Brown gently ruffled Emma’s hair and said softly, "It’s not that you’re not good, Lemon, it’s just that your Big Brother Brown really isn’t suited for marriage and settling down."
Emma leaned compliantly against James’s chest and whispered, "Big Brother Brown, I just want to come over and help you with things occasionally, can you please not refuse me?"
"You’re already here in my house, aren’t you? Otherwise, I’d have to send you away," James patted Emma on the shoulder.
"I knew Big Brother Brown was the best," Emma looked up and gave James a sweet smile.
The two of them were so close to each other. James looked at Emma’s charming little face and her enticing lips, feeling an impulse to kiss her, but he restrained himself and said with a smile, "Your Big Brother Brown has always been the best, right?"
"Yes! No one can compare to Big Brother Brown."
Emma was indeed a considerate girl. At that moment, she let go of James and said, "Big Brother Brown, shall we watch some TV?"
"Sure."
James turned on the television, which had come with the apartment when he rented it. He had lived there for a long time but had turned it on no more than ten times. That afternoon, he and Emma started watching it together.
