The Supreme Soldier in the City

In front of Gina Lopez, James Brown put on his clothes, turned his head to look at Gina, James wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and walked out of the bedroom.

Having lived with Gina for so long without their relationship escalating, it was somewhat ironic that he ended up being intimate with Gina just as he was about to be free from their entanglement.

After freshening up, he came out of the bathroom and saw Emily Lopez. Emily said to James with a grin, "Brother-in-law, did you sleep well last night?"

James smiled and replied, "Of course, I slept great. I’ve been worried about mom’s illness these days, and now that there’s nothing wrong, I finally had a good night’s sleep."

Emily squinted her eyes and looked at James, "You’re really dutiful, brother-in-law. If my mom heard this, she’d surely be moved to tears."

Laughter from Mrs. Lopez, Emily’s mother, came from behind them, "Indeed, James has been more filial than both of you put together. Humph, I really raised you two for nothing all these years."

Turning around, Emily took Mrs. Lopez’s arm and said cheerfully, "Yeah, brother-in-law is great. With him here, my sister and I can finally be free."

"What freedom? Didn’t you say you found a boyfriend? Hurry up and bring him over for me to see. Now that your sister’s affairs are settled, I still have to worry about you."

Emily suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, Mom, you really kick away the ladder after crossing the river, don’t you? I’ve just...just settled my sister’s matters, and you’re already rushing me."

Mrs. Lopez cleared her throat and said, "Now that your sister is settled, naturally, it’s your turn."

James felt as if Emily was about to say something just now but then she changed her words, and it seemed somehow related to him. Moreover, they both clearly knew about his and Gina’s relationship, but now that the illness was gone, it seemed like the mother and daughter had completely forgotten that James and Gina were together because of the illness.
