Chapter 185: You Have a Greater Chance
"Sandra, what are you doing?"
James Brown placed his hands on the counter, maintaining a standing posture without moving, and asked Emily Lopez with a bitter smile.
Emily Lopez had already laid her head on James’s back, gently rubbed her face against it twice, and said, "I’m not doing anything. I can’t help you with cooking, so all I can do is use this method to make you a bit happier."
"Stop it, if you keep this up, your sister will come in and kill me."
Emily Lopez didn’t let go, saying, "Why be afraid of her? I just like my brother-in-law, and I want to hug him. What can she do about it?"
"It’s not about what I can do, Sandra. I won’t stop you from doing this, but I can tell you very clearly, I’m not joking with you right now, I’ve made up my mind, and I’m determined to make it work. He can only be your brother-in-law in this life. If you think an intimacy like this is appropriate for a little sister-in-law and brother-in-law, then I won’t stop you either."
Gina Lopez’s voice came from behind the two, not angry but rather calm. Yet, within that calmness, her strong determination was evident.
James had anticipated that when Emily did this, Gina would definitely come in, so he wasn’t surprised to hear Gina speak, but he felt somewhat surprised that she was so calm.
Emily Lopez’s hands didn’t let go of James, but she did stand up straight, creating some distance from his back. Flicking her head back, she said to Gina, "So just because you’re determined, that’s it? Brother-in-law is a person, not an object. If you want brother-in-law, he has to agree too."
Gina’s tone was as calm as ever, "I don’t care if he is an object or not. I, Gina Lopez, have never failed at anything I’ve set my mind to, and this time will be no exception."
Emily Lopez pursed her lips dismissively, "Hmph, then you’re treating brother-in-law like an object. Relationships are about mutual affection. You might be earnest about it, but if brother-in-law doesn’t feel the same way, it’s useless."
