Chapter 156 Uncle, I Will Not Let You Go
James Brown laughed, "Well then, come on over, I’ll cook for you." He had just finished cooking and had hardly eaten a few bites when the thought of Melody Yoody joining him for dinner seemed like a very pleasant prospect.
"No sincerity. If you wanted to invite me for dinner, why didn’t you call me earlier?"
"I didn’t want to disturb you at work. What if you were having dinner with some leader and my call negatively impacted you?"
"James, I really appreciate you understanding me. I was afraid you would get angry with me over this." Melody’s tone suddenly became gentle.
James’s tone was equally gentle as he said, "Although I have a bit of a macho streak, liking you means having enough trust in you, right?"
"Thank you. Even though a lot has changed over the years, I can still feel that you treat me as well as you did before."
"If I don’t treat you well, who else would I treat well? You are the woman I’ve liked most in my life."
When James Brown said such sincere words to a woman, it was definitely meant only for Melody Yoody. If it were anyone else, it would likely have been flirtation or just teasing, like how he spoke with Joan Wilson.
At that moment, James seemed to have returned to the days of his first love. Talking to Melody on the phone was incredibly sweet, to the point that he even forgot about Sarah Grandy at home.
"Uncle, who are you chatting with?" Sarah Grandy’s voice suddenly rang in James’s ear.
James was in the midst of an engrossing conversation and jumped in surprise; immediately, Melody’s voice came through from the other end, "Who’s over at your place?"
