Chapter 351 - 358 Night Colors
It was past Eleven o’clock when James Brown drove to Gina Lopez’s apartment, which could also be considered his home—what belongs to his wife also belongs to him, including her home.
After chatting with Sunny Nguyen for a bit and a passionate moment between them, Sunny, however, did not allow James to stay, instead asking him to go back to his own home.
James didn’t say much, perhaps because he was already married, he felt it was inappropriate to stay out, even though Gina knew about it.
But downstairs, James smoked two cigarettes before slowly heading upstairs; after all, this home still lacked a sense of belonging for him.
He had the keys to Gina Lopez’s place, and not wanting to disturb Gina and Emily late at night, he opened the door only to find neither had gone to sleep—Emily was still watching TV in the living room, and the light in Gina’s bedroom was on with her door open.
Emily stood up and came over, speaking harshly to James, "Brother-in-law, can you manage your time at all? Coming home this late? Have you started to stay out all night?"
James gave an awkward smile and said, "I got held up with some stuff tonight and came back late."
"Be careful next time; you mustn’t return this late anymore." Emily playfully winked at James, then nodded towards the bedroom, saying, "My sister has been waiting for you."
James, not knowing what to say, smiled again and said, "I’m going to take a shower."
"Go ahead." James headed straight to the bathroom, but as he passed Gina’s bedroom door, he instinctively glanced inside, meeting Gina’s eyes just as she quickly turned away, her face flushing red.
James hurried into the bathroom, feeling particularly awkward around Gina now.
