Chapter 378: Chapter 385 Intentional

Even when leaving, Michael Carter didn’t exchange a single word with Emily Lopez. Michael Carter is a very calculating person; otherwise, his brother Nathaniel Johnson wouldn’t have entrusted such a large family business to his management that early.

Since Emily Lopez attended the PARRT, it meant she must be someone from the company, and the fact that she talked a lot with people from the art school indicated that she must be a teacher there.

With that information, things would be easy. In the future, he could find her at the art school; he wasn’t worried about her slipping through his grasp.

However, Michael Carter still wasn’t clear about the identity and background of James Brown, who was with Emily Lopez, so he didn’t approach her for a chat. He wanted to gather all the information before making his move to make it easier to win over Emily Lopez.

It was after 9 PM when James Brown finally left Nathaniel Johnson’s villa with Emily Lopez, accompanied by Emily Lopez’s colleague, Emily Smith.

Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog had the tact not to hang around James, something they always did well, fearing they would cause him trouble.

"Wow, Sandra, you also have a Mercedes to ride," Emily Smith exclaimed as soon as she got into the car.

James chuckled and replied, "This is a company car that I’ve borrowed to drive."

"Oh, it’s from your company? I thought it was yours. I was needlessly happy for Sandra," Emily Smith remarked.

Emily Lopez giggled and said, "Do I need to have a fancy car to be happy? I feel great right now. The car belongs to the company, but I get to ride in it often, and we don’t have to pay for gas or the expensive cost of maintaining a car."

Emily Smith chuckled lightly and commented, "Sandra really knows how to live." But inwardly, she felt quite dismissive. In this day and age, a person’s status is definitely symbolized by their car. A man without a good car can’t be considered successful.

It didn’t take long for James to drop Emily Smith off at her house, and then he hurried home with Emily Lopez.

All the way, Emily Lopez chattered non-stop about all the celebrities she saw that day, the autographs she obtained, and stressed how enjoyable it was chatting with Emily Berns. Her bubbliness made James happy too.

After getting out of the car and entering the elevator, Emily Lopez glanced at James’s pants and blushed slightly, "Brother-in-law, is your pants dry?"

James broke out in a sweat. Emily Lopez hadn’t mentioned this the entire way, and he had been feeling lucky. Yet now, just as they were about to enter their home, Emily brought it up. He still looked down carefully; there were some marks, but they weren’t wet.

"There’s a mark, have you thought about how you’re going to explain it to my sister?" Emily Lopez whispered another question.

"This... let’s just say some beverage spilled on it," James said with a sigh of resignation. He certainly couldn’t admit that it was because he got agitated dancing with Emily Lopez which led to his own secretion.

Emily Lopez cast another glance at James’s pants and said with a mischievous smile, "That doesn’t look like a beverage spill. My sister is your wife. She should be able to figure it out, right?"

James sweated more and said, "No big deal, she won’t notice."

The elevator reached its destination, and James and Emily Lopez walked in. Gina Lopez came out of the bedroom, took James’s bag and said, "You’re back early, I thought you wouldn’t be back until midnight." She really had the gentle and capable wife look.

James responded with a smile, "There was nothing much really. Most of the celebrities had left, so Sandra wanted to come back too."

"I hope Sandra didn’t cause you any trouble?" Gina Lopez asked.

Emily Lopez immediately expressed her discontent, "Sis, seriously, do you think I’m always a troublemaker whenever I go out?"

"Aren’t you?" Gina Lopez gave her sister a look.

James laughed and said, "Sandra behaved very well today. She was poised and appropriate, and it seems like the teachers from her school really like her."

Feeling vindicated, Emily Lopez raised her eyebrows smugly at Gina Lopez and said, "See, even my brother-in-law said so. Only you think I’m always a child who never grows up."

At that moment, James wanted to head to the bathroom. Gina Lopez immediately offered, "I’ll get you some clothes, go take a shower."

Emily Lopez giggled and said, "No need to shower, we went swimming today and showered after that."

Gina Lopez immediately said: "But we’ll sweat when we come back anyway, better to wash up now and go to sleep."

James Brown nodded and said, "That’s what I was thinking too." Right now, he just wanted to go to the bathroom and change his pants so that Gina Lopez wouldn’t see them.

"Right!" Emily Lopez suddenly exclaimed: "Sis, your brother-in-law spilled juice on his pants, you should help him wash them."

James Brown’s steps suddenly became chaotic, he almost tripped over himself, Emily Lopez was clearly doing it on purpose, definitely trying to embarrass him. This darn girl, what was she playing at?

Gina Lopez immediately walked up to James Brown and looked at his pants, saying: "Oh indeed, take them off quickly, I’ll wash them for you. If the juice stain isn’t washed off soon, it will be hard to remove later."

James Brown was secretly sweating, thankfully Gina Lopez didn’t notice the real problem, otherwise that would have been really troublesome. He hurried into the bathroom, but before he went in, he managed to give Emily Lopez a fierce stare when Gina Lopez wasn’t paying attention, while Emily Lopez just pursed her lips and giggled, not looking the slightest bit embarrassed, but actually quite pleased with herself.

James Brown took off his clothes and turned on the shower to start bathing. The bathroom here at Gina Lopez’s place was small and lacked a bathtub, so he could only shower like this.

But as he had shampoo on his head, the bathroom door was suddenly opened. With his eyes closed, James Brown couldn’t see who it was and quickly turned around to face away from the door.

"Do... do you need help?" a soft voice asked.

With the sound of water, James Brown couldn’t tell if it was Gina Lopez or Emily Lopez speaking. The sisters’ voices were so similar, the only difference being that Gina Lopez usually spoke more decisively, while Emily Lopez was more casual, which was the only way to distinguish them. But using this unfamiliar tone of voice made it impossible for James Brown to tell.

But considering both sisters were at home, and Emily Lopez definitely wouldn’t boldly come here, it had to be Gina Lopez. Though they were truly husband and wife now, being naked in the bathroom in front of Gina Lopez still made James Brown somewhat embarrassed as he said: "No need."

"Then I shall... wash clothes," Gina Lopez added.

James Brown rinsed off the shampoo foam from his head, turned to look at Gina Lopez, and said: "Can you wait until I finish showering before you wash them?"

Gina Lopez looked up at James Brown, her face also flushed with redness, but when she saw his embarrassed appearance, she laughed out and said: "Are you afraid I’ll see you? I’m your wife, after all."

James Brown glanced at the door and said: "But isn’t Emily at home too? It’s not good like this."

Emily Lopez’s face flushed, and she said: "It was that girl who forced me to come in. She said you were showering and I wasn’t helping you, saying I wasn’t a qualified wife, that’s why I came."

Given the situation, James Brown didn’t feel so awkward anymore. He started to shower more openly in front of Gina Lopez, who was washing his clothes. The pants were something she had bought for James Brown, costing over a thousand each, so they couldn’t just be thrown into the washing machine. She gently hand washed them, and with James Brown showering beside her, as a woman who was newly married, she couldn’t help but sneak peeks at him from time to time.

These past few days she spent with James Brown were always with the lights off in bed; Gina Lopez hadn’t really had the chance to take a good look at his body. Now she realized that James Brown really had a strong build, broad shoulders with well-defined muscles, each movement exuding a sense of power.

Although his pectoral muscles weren’t overly prominent, they were firm like iron, and even his abdomen had a six-pack, not very prominent, but enough to show his strength.

Some people might think that the clearly defined six-packs on bodybuilders represented great strength, but that’s a misunderstanding. Those athletes’ muscles were specifically trained to look good – powerful, yes, but not the real essence of strength.

James Brown’s strength was not only in his muscles but also in his martial arts skills, which were an even greater source of power. On the surface, things like a six-pack might seem less impressive.

"No wonder he’s so strong, his body is really in good shape." Gina Lopez couldn’t help but wonder to herself. She was already twenty-six and knew quite a lot about men and women. Most men couldn’t last long, but James Brown managed about half an hour every time, with a consistent speed and frequency that even she found overwhelming.

At that moment, James Brown suddenly gave Gina Lopez a grin and said: "How about that, isn’t your husband’s figure great?"

Gina Lopez’s face turned red, and she spat at James Brown, scolding: "What’s so great about it? You’re like a bull."

James Brown laughed heartily and said: "Then I am a bull in heat. Come on, wife, let’s shower together."

"Ah! No way!" Gina Lopez suddenly stood up, looking at James Brown nervously, and said: "Don’t mess around, Emily is at home. What would this look like?"

James Brown knew that Gina Lopez was shy; even during their intimate times in bed, she wouldn’t allow the lights on, so how could she possibly get cozy with him in the bathroom? Smiling, he said: "I’m done showering; I’ll go back to the bedroom and wait for you."

Gina Lopez spat at James Brown again, but the thought of rolling in the sheets with him soon made her body heat up, her legs went weak. It could not be denied that just three days had made her genuinely enjoy the intimacy with James Brown.
