Chapter 106 Emily Lopez is Coming
James Brown was buying groceries when Gina Lopez was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, sound asleep.
Luckily, when James brought Gina home earlier, he had taken her house keys just in case; otherwise, knocking on the door would have woken her up.
After putting away the groceries in the kitchen, he took a blanket and gently covered Gina, then gave her another look. Even in sleep, her brow was furrowed, clearly troubled by some vexing issue.
James shook his head. Being too ambitious wasn’t really a good thing for a woman; it just made life too exhausting. On this point, his view coincided with that of Emily Lopez.
Lately, Gina hadn’t mentioned Emily, seeming to no longer harbor any suspicions, but having not chatted with her for a while, James suddenly found himself missing Emily.
He decided to start cooking first and then finished cleaning up the vegetables. Today’s meal consisted of just a few stir-fries, which could be whipped up in minutes, so he would wait until the rice was done before starting. With nothing else to do at the moment, he sat down on the living room sofa, picked up the phone, and dialed Emily Lopez’s number.
"Sis... why did you think to call me today?"
"I’m not your sister, I’m your brother-in-law," James replied with a chuckle, his voice low.
"Ah! Brother-in-law, you actually remembered me?" Emily sounded pleasantly surprised.
James let out a soft laugh and said, "How could I not remember you? You’re Gina’s sister, after all."
"Stop it, you haven’t even managed to win over my sister yet."
