Chapter 467 - 476: Back on Good Terms
John Brown had arranged for Emma Campbell to stay at Lucy Campbell’s former residence. He had the keys, and even if he didn’t, the ordinary door lock wouldn’t pose a challenge to him.
As soon as they stepped in, Emma didn’t bother inspecting the room and said to John, "Big Brother Brown, you should leave now."
John felt even more apologetic toward Emma, holding her hand as he said, "Emma..."
"Big Brother Brown, there’s no need to say more. I understand. Don’t worry, I’m not upset. I’m actually very happy with how you’ve treated me." Saying this, Emma stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the cheek. She then hurriedly reached out, flustered, to wipe his face, exclaiming, "Oh no, if it leaves a mark, that’ll be awful."
John embraced Emma tightly and said, "You didn’t wear lipstick; there won’t be a mark. But you’ve left an indelible imprint on my heart."
Emma’s body softened, and after hugging him briefly, she mustered strength and pushed him out. The door slammed shut with a thud.
John shook his head, his feelings for Emma growing deeper. He was certain that there wasn’t another girl in the world better than her, at least for him.
Returning home, Sarah Grandy pouted, grabbing hold of John’s arm: "Uncle, why is your wife here? Is she trying to take you home?"
John smiled faintly and said, "No, she just came to see you."
"I don’t need her watching me, nor do I need her pity," Sarah replied stubbornly, raising her chin, her small face exhibiting defiance.
John ruffled her hair affectionately and said, "She’s not here out of pity. She’s my wife, and since I care about you, naturally she wants to care for you too."
