The Supreme Soldier in the City

James Brown didn’t quite feel married, and Gina Lopez’s home didn’t feel like home to him either. It was the rented cottage that truly felt like home, so he returned to his own place.

Back at his own place, he switched on the lights and immediately noticed the sparkling cleanliness of his home, which told him that Emma had been there.

However, upon seeing the shoes at the entrance, James’s heart skipped a beat because they were Emma Campbell’s shoes, which meant that Emma was indeed in the house.

He quickly turned off the lights and tiptoed into the bedroom where, by the moonlight, he saw Emma sleeping on the bed. She was covered with a thin blanket, with one arm exposed atop it. Her delicate face and sweet sleeping posture made James’s heart grow fonder as he watched.

Gently, he undressed and carefully climbed onto the bed, lifted the thin blanket and pressed his body close to Emma’s.

"Ah!" Emma’s body suddenly jolted, and she let out an alarmed scream.

Emma’s reaction startled James, who quickly sat up and said, "Don’t be scared, Emma, it’s me."

"Ah! Big Brother Brown, you’re back." Now that her eyes had adjusted, Emma saw James and joyfully threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Big Brother Brown, you really scared me to death, I thought a burglar had come in."

James gently patted Emma’s back and said apologetically, "Sorry, Emma, I should have called out to you earlier, so I wouldn’t have scared you."
