Chapter 481 - 491: If you’re a couple, just kiss
John Brown extended his hand to shake with Michael Weber, still maintaining his calm demeanor. He said, "It’s a pleasure to meet a prominent figure like Mr. Williams."
Michael Weber laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Brown, you must be joking. You’re the boyfriend of Miss Johnson. She’s the real big shot here. How could I compare to her? Please don’t make fun of me."
Though he spoke humbly, he implied that John Brown only managed to associate with him because of Lucy Campbell, subtly looking down on John. However, Michael Weber was a man of depth and sophistication and wouldn’t say it so directly.
"Yes, indeed. I’m just an ordinary person. Meeting Lucy feels like a dream to me, and I still think I haven’t woken up."
Lucy Campbell’s cousin, Linda Smith, wearing a long one-piece dress, was a beauty in her own right, perhaps not lacking much compared to Lucy. However, she lacked that special aura Lucy had, and appeared somewhat quaint. She curiously observed John Brown and interjected, "Are you really dating my cousin?"
John Brown looked at Lauren Smith, feeling as if he’d met the sprite-like Sandra again, understanding that the cousin must be skeptical. He replied, "Not quite, right?"
Everyone paused, confused, as they glanced at Mark Smith and John Brown, while Lucy Campbell remained calm and smiling. Linda Smith quickly pursued the matter, "What do you mean ’not quite’? It’s either yes or no."
John Brown glanced at Lucy Campbell, his eyes slightly squinted, a look of happiness and infatuation in his gaze. He said, "Lucy is so beautiful and holds such an esteemed position, while I am just an ordinary man. To be with her now, I can hardly believe it’s real."
Lucy Campbell gently held John Brown’s hand and softly said, "Whether it’s a dream or not, as long as I, Lucy Campbell, say I’ll be with you, then nothing will stop us from being together."
Her words were heartfelt and sincere, even John Brown couldn’t see any deceit in them. He unconsciously embraced the role, clasping Lucy’s hand in return, gazing deeply into her eyes as he said softly, "I believe, no matter how many look down on me, thinking I’m a toad lusting after a swan, I won’t give up."
The two interlocked their fingers and gazed deeply at each other, treating the others as if they were air.
