Chapter 474: Chapter 484 Together

Even though Emily Berns doesn’t want to be a big celebrity anymore, she is still under public scrutiny. I bet there are countless paparazzi lurking at the gate of this community. John Brown doesn’t want to draw too much attention, so he helped Emily Berns disguise herself a bit before they left home together.

Coming out, John Brown found that not only outside the community but also inside, there were paparazzi present. Although Emily Berns hasn’t acted in many shows, her popularity is indeed quite high, and she attracts a lot of attention.

Emily Berns was in a really good mood today. Once outside, she hooked onto John Brown’s arm, which made John feel quite uncomfortable.

"What’s with that expression? Are you uncomfortable with me holding your arm?" Emily Berns raised her eyebrows, pinching John Brown discontentedly.

John Brown awkwardly laughed, saying, "I am a bit unaccustomed."

"You’ll adapt slowly." Emily Berns didn’t dwell too much on this issue. She knew that despite having a daughter with John Brown, their previous interactions weren’t pleasant. Even if she had special feelings towards John Brown, her heart was burning one-sidedly. Now their relationship completely relies on their daughter. If she wanted to truly harmonize with John Brown, she would need to put in more effort.

Emily Berns is a very determined girl; otherwise, she wouldn’t have secretly had a child with John Brown, which required a great deal of courage. Now, she’s decided to be with John Brown and is willing to make great changes for him, which is something not everyone can do.

Today, Sarah Grandy also completely reversed her stance. She’s no longer the girl who used to cling to John Brown. Instead, she’s holding Emily Berns’s hand on the other side, with an arrogant air that made John unable to help but chuckle. He couldn’t understand what’s in those fans’ minds, but Sarah Grandy’s behavior should be the embodiment of a pure fan.

Shopping, cooking, and then eating, the three of them got along well, creating a bit of warmth. It must be mentioned that even though Emily Berns’s cooking isn’t as good as John’s, she did quite well, which made John quite surprised.

After the meal, John Brown went downstairs alone and dialed Gina Lopez’s number. He felt he had to inform Gina Lopez because she was his wife.

"Honey, I’m in the Capital of SSUP; I’ve found my daughter." John didn’t hide anything and said it directly.

Gina Lopez was silent for a moment before saying, "Then bring the daughter home. I’ll treat her like my own and definitely won’t let her suffer."

John Brown immediately detailed the situation here to Gina Lopez, who listened quietly. When John finished, she said, "Are you planning to be with Emily Berns?"

John Brown sighed and said, "Honey, Emily Berns and I don’t share that kind of feeling, but this daughter is ours. I must give her a normal family, whether it’s with me or with Emily Berns. So I need some time to establish myself as her father."

"You’re saying you don’t want to be with Emily Berns?" Gina Lopez’s tone became much more urgent.

"Yes, what we’re doing now is all for the child. I’ve made it clear to her that once the custody is settled, I will return. If the daughter chooses to be with me, I hope you won’t be upset."

Gina Lopez said without any hesitation, "No! I will definitely not be mad. Your daughter is my daughter; I will certainly treat her like that."

John Brown felt deeply moved, saying, "Honey, thank you."

"Why thank me? I’m your wife. Do we need to say thank you between us?"

"Yes!" John didn’t say much more, realizing more and more that Gina Lopez embodied traditional feminine virtues and that she was really a great wife. He increasingly wanted to be with her.

"Then take good care of the daughter. Don’t worry about things here at home; I’ll be waiting for your return."

"Sure, I will definitely come back," John responded with great determination.

Returning to Emily Berns’s home, Emily and Sarah Grandy had already showered and were sitting on the sofa chatting. Seeing Sarah Grandy’s excited face, it was apparent that her relationship with Emily was going well, and John Brown also noticed that Sarah’s grief from losing her parents had lessened significantly thanks to her staying with Emily.

"James, go take a shower," Emily Berns stood up with a smile and said, "I’ve prepared towels and a change of clothes for you."

John Brown smiled, nodded, and went into the bathroom. Although Emily was treating him nicely, he just didn’t feel that spark, like there’s no electricity.

Emily Berns’s home was quite spacious—three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, more than one hundred and thirty square meters. In a place like the Capital of SSUP, this house alone would probably cost several million.

After washing up, John Brown sat in the living room for a bit with Emily and Sarah Grandy. He wasn’t able to talk much with Emily, except about their daughter. Emily understood this point, so she brought out their daughter’s photo album to appreciate with John together.

Looking at the daughter’s photos from birth to now felt like seeing her growing-up journey. Though it was heartwarming, John was somewhat regretful for not being able to witness his daughter’s growth firsthand or take care of her personally, and even if he tried to make it up later, those past times had already been lost.

Around ten o’clock, Emily closed the album and said, "It’s getting late. Let’s rest; we need to go take care of the daughter tomorrow."

John nodded his agreement, but he wasn’t sure which room he should sleep in.

Emily Berns smiled and pointed to a bedroom, saying, "That’s my bedroom. Are you going to sleep with me tonight?"

Sarah Grandy immediately replied, "Of course, I definitely should. Uncle, I won’t sleep with you guys tonight to avoid disrupting you. I’ll sleep alone and join you guys tomorrow."

Emily Berns blushed at first, then said to Sarah in surprise, "Do you plan on sleeping with us from now on?"

"Of course, both Sister Emma and I sleep with Uncle." Charlotte proudly raised her chin.

Emily Berns’ face darkened, and she glared at James Brown, saying, "Your life really sounds indulgent."

James Brown really couldn’t explain this; even if he said that even if he slept with Emma Campbell and Charlotte, they did nothing, Emily probably wouldn’t believe it.

James Brown shook his head and said, "Forget it, I’ll sleep alone tonight."

Emily Berns snorted lightly, saying, "What now? Living so indulgently at home, but pretending to be shy here?"

James Brown had no choice but to say, "Emily, give me some time, I need to adjust."

Emily Berns rolled her eyes at James Brown and said, "Do you think I’m such a cheap woman? Hmph, wanting to sleep with me isn’t that easy, even though I’ve already given you a daughter."

James Brown gave an awkward smile and quickly slipped into the bedroom next door.

Emily Berns looked at Sarah Grandy and said, "Are you going to sleep with your uncle?"

"No need, I’ll sleep with Big Sister Grace." Charlotte immediately hugged Emily’s arm.

Emily Berns nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let’s go."

Lying in bed, Emily Berns said to Charlotte, "Charlotte, do you really support me being with your uncle?"

"Of course I support, a hundred or even a thousand times support!" Charlotte vigorously nodded repeatedly.

"Good, you have to stand by my side from now on. I’ve promised you, if I’m with James in the future, I’ll let you stay with us. If you stand by my side, then others won’t stand a chance."

"Yes, yes, I’ll definitely be on your side, whatever you want me to do. Shouldn’t the two of us go to Uncle’s room and surprise them? Even if Uncle doesn’t say it, he probably likes this sort of thing."

Emily Berns suddenly felt lines of frustration. For all these years, never letting another man touch her was proof of her integrity. The last time she stayed at that villa with James, she was already conflicted about looking for him. Charlotte’s suggestion was even harder for her to swallow.

After a light cough to conceal her embarrassment, Emily Berns said, "Charlotte, do you guys always do this?"

"No, even though the three of us sleep on the same bed, Uncle hasn’t touched me. Even with Emma, it’s only when I’m asleep that he’s sneaky."

Emily Berns widened her eyes in astonishment and said, "He hasn’t touched you?"

"Yeah, I’m still a virgin. That stubborn uncle refuses to touch me, no matter how I try to seduce him." At this, Charlotte seemed a bit annoyed.

Emily Berns squinted her eyes. That was the James Brown she remembered. Even though she often teased him back then, it was her way of seducing him, hoping he’d lose control like that one day. But since then, he hadn’t touched her at all.

"Charlotte, you’re so young, what do you see in him?" Emily was curious about this. After all, James Brown was eight years older, and Charlotte seemed to have no connections with him.

"I don’t know either. I just like Uncle. Being with him makes me happy."

Emily Berns asked again, "You’re so pretty, you must have many guys chasing you, right?"

"None of them can compare with Uncle. Just like you, Big Sister Grace. You’re a big star, but you also like Uncle."

This sentence left Emily Berns speechless. On paper, she might be much better off than James, but she still ended up having a child with him.
