Chapter 182
James Brown was looking into Gina Lopez’s eyes with deep affection and said in that seductive voice, "Gina, thank you!"
At that moment, Gina, who had been in a daze, suddenly seemed to relax, and her face even showed a hint of shyness. Meeting James’s gaze, she whispered softly, "Sister Sunny is still here. Can’t you pay a little more attention?"
James didn’t even spare a glance at Sunny Nguyen, saying, "In my eyes, there’s only you right now. Even if a fairy were beside me, I wouldn’t give her a second look."
Upon hearing this, Sunny actually felt a bit stifled. After all, she had spent several nights of pleasure with James, and this guy could actually say such a thing—it was maddening.
A blush crept over Gina’s face, and with eyes like shimmering pools, she shyly said, "You really know how to lay it on thick. You know I’m not usually gentle. Can you really put up with me?"
"I believe I can get used to you, but I have my flaws too. You have to be understanding of me, okay?"
"That won’t do. I am a woman, and as a man, you should be accommodating me in every way. Otherwise, you’re not sincere."
"Of course, I’m sincere. Love is indeed supposed to be about thinking unconditionally of the other person, but it also needs to be nurtured. So I hope you can be forgiving of me too."
"You’re right, love does need to be nurtured. Let’s nurture it together."
At this point, James and Gina were both playing a game of wits, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Having been with Gina for some time now, James believed this strategy was undoubtedly foolproof, but Gina was set on holding her ground. As a business executive, she was exceptionally astute at the negotiating table and an excellent actress in those moments. Now, she brought that same level of professionalism to her contest with James, not giving an inch.
Seeing this, James was somewhat annoyed that he hadn’t managed to outwit Gina. He had to pull out all the stops, suddenly sliding his hands down and wrapping them around Gina’s waist, then pulling her into his embrace with a little force. He didn’t believe that Gina, with her character, would go so far as to give up her body as well.
