Chapter 213: Determination
Emily Lopez’s phone call came through once again, and James Brown had no choice but to answer.
"Brother-in-law, shall we go out and have fun tonight?"
James Brown turned his head to look at Gina Lopez. Gina was sitting there nonchalantly, seemingly totally unconcerned about what James might say.
"Tonight... I’m still with your sister at the moment. Who knows, she might even ask me to work overtime."
"What? You’re still with my sister? She’s really something, making you work all day long, that’s so cruel! Brother-in-law, let’s ignore her, come out with me tonight."
With the car being sealed up, Gina could clearly hear Emily’s voice over the phone’s speaker. Immediately, she snatched the phone and said, "Emily Lopez, could you stop thinking about playing all day? It’s fine if you don’t work, but you can’t expect James to go crazy with you. That’s absolutely not okay."
"Ah, Gina, what do you mean by that? You’re so despicable, knowing that I like my brother-in-law but hogging him all day long, not letting him spend time with me. What kind of sister are you?" Emily yelled indignantly, but if there were someone nearby, they would have seen her grinning mischievously.
"Emily, you call him brother-in-law too, so you should understand that he’s mine. Why are you still clinging to him?"
"Humph, you don’t really like my brother-in-law at all. You just don’t want me to be with him. Do you think I don’t know? Gina, it’s despicable to hog... my brother-in-law without loving him. Do you think this is fair to him?" Emily almost said that Gina was like someone occupying a toilet without using it, but feeling that it would be an insult to James Brown, she quickly stopped herself and stuck out her tongue.
"Who says I don’t... love him? That was before, now I..." Gina began, glancing at James Brown, but she couldn’t bring herself to finish those two words. Watching TV and such, she always thought that saying "I love you" was so easy. But when it was her turn, she realized it wasn’t something to say lightly. At least right now, her mouth was open but no sound came out.
"What about you? See, you can’t even say ’I love him.’ You talk about love? You’re clearly just targeting me. You’re so despicable," Emily accused Gina with strong anger, sensing that there had been no progress between Gina and James these days. She intended to give Gina a strong dose of medicine and continue to provoke her.
