Chapter 357 - 364: Husband and Wife
The dinner didn’t last long, just a typical family dinner. After they finished, Gina Lopez eagerly took on the task of clearing the table and then went on to wash the dishes.
"I’m telling you big sis, getting married really changes things. You never used to do the household chores before," Emily Lopez joked as she helped, giggling.
Gina Lopez gave her sister a glance and replied, "What was in the past is in the past. I had our parents at home, and I rarely ate at home when outside."
"But when my brother-in-law used to live here, I didn’t see you doing any of this either."
"Back then, I paid him for it. Why would I bother doing it myself? I’m not that foolish."
"True that! Without paying now, you’d end up doing more chores, but... hehe..." Emily stuck out her tongue mischievously, saying, "Now you pay much more, including money and someone, everything’s on my brother-in-law’s account."
Gina Lopez glanced at Emily again and said, "Don’t say that. Your brother-in-law isn’t after those things."
Emily nodded consistently, saying, "Right, if my brother-in-law was after your money, he would have settled matters with you long ago, no need for me to make such an effort."
After cleaning up, it would usually be time for Gina Lopez to return to the bedroom, pull out her laptop, and start working. But today, she suggested, "We just finished dinner, let’s go downstairs for a walk."
Emily immediately exclaimed, "Okay..." but then her eyes darted, and she quickly added, "Oh dear, I still have to watch TV. You guys go ahead."
James Brown understood Gina Lopez’s intent to ease the awkwardness between them and to tune their feelings, so he simply smiled and said, "Let’s go down."
