Chapter 578 - 590: There are sharks in the sea
After quite a while, the three girls finally let go of John Brown and Lucy Campbell, while Lucy reluctantly released John. She truly wished the game would continue so she could keep holding onto John.
Lucy Campbell wiped the water off her face and said, "Alright, no more craziness with you guys. James, let’s go make some barbecue. You guys can come over to eat once you’re done playing."
The three immediately agreed cheerfully and swam back to the sea, while John and Lucy headed to the beach. The barbecue grill was already set up, along with various ingredients. That’s the lifestyle of wealthy people—anything they want is prepared for them without them having to lift a finger.
The two sat by the grill, slowly roasting skewers over the fire, and Lucy looked at James, smiling, "See how wild these girls are?"
James Brown laughed, "Yeah, they are really wild. My Sandra at home is quite lively too, but she can’t compare to them. However, it seems like their bond with you is really strong."
"Yeah, the four of us have always played together since childhood, so our bond is very strong. Later, I started working while they continued their carefree lifestyle. Sometimes, I think living like them without worries is much happier than my life."
James looked at Lucy seriously and said, "Living like them seems to lack ambition. Don’t you have great aspirations? Such a life would be more exciting."
"I used to believe that too, but recently I’ve been feeling that this kind of life isn’t what I need. An exciting life doesn’t necessarily bring happiness, and often, the simple things can be more memorable. I want to let go, be a carefree little girl, but for now, there’s no suitable person to take over my responsibilities."
Lucy spoke with a trace of melancholy, and James could empathize. It’s like he felt recently; striving to become stronger seemed meaningless upon reflection. Being an ordinary person brings true happiness.
For a moment, both were silent. After a while, Lucy raised her head and asked James, "James, what should I do?"
