Chapter 95 Scolding on the Street
After eating the meal James Brown had prepared, Lucy Campbell couldn’t help but silently praise him in her heart. If she had a husband like James Brown, eating his cooking every day, she would certainly be very happy.
Reaching Lucy Campbell’s level, her criteria for a boyfriend differed from others. She didn’t require family background, looks, or wealth; what mattered most was whether a man could give her the feeling of home, whether he could provide her with a secure embrace. James Brown met her standards just right.
Lucy was also a woman who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Appearing beside James Brown had already puzzled him. If she had confessed her feelings too early, she might have scared James away. Her plan was to make James genuinely fall for her.
So after dinner, she returned to her own home early.
Emily Jenkins, on the other hand, lingered and was hesitant to leave until James Brown gave her one thousand bucks. Then she cheerfully said to James, "Big Brother Brown, you’re really too kind. Once I get paid, I’ll give it back to you."
James Brown wasn’t too concerned about money; he laughed and said, "Whether you pay me back or not, I don’t really care. But still, try to save a bit. I don’t have much money either. If you spend it all too soon, I won’t have any surplus to support you. Then we both will be in trouble with nothing to eat, which would be awful."
"Teehee, I won’t do that."
James Brown seriously doubted Emily. It was clear to him that she had no sense of money at all; to put it bluntly, she was someone who didn’t know how to live frugally. To expect her to spend wisely was probably as likely as the sun rising from the west.
After Emily left, it was already past eight o’clock. James Brown didn’t want to go out anymore; he stayed at home and exercised a bit. Years of training had made it impossible for him to stop; he still practiced this routine even after returning to the city.
After taking a shower, James Brown lay in bed, thoughts of Lucy Campbell surfacing in his mind. However, he couldn’t for the life of him understand why she would come here. There were a multitude of reasons proving her presence was unreasonable, yet there wasn’t a single appropriate reason for her being here.
"Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’m just an ordinary person now. Whatever she wants to do, it’s none of my business."
