Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Continuing Past RelationsJames Brown took a shower but didn’t change into pajamas, wrapping a towel around himself before heading to Gina Lopez’s bedroom. At that moment, Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen were chatting in the living room, while Emily Lopez was in her own room, not coming out. The clothes James left at Gina’s were still hanging in the wardrobe, not a single one missing. It was unclear whether Gina hadn’t had time to tidy up recently or if she kept them for James intentionally. Either way, it was convenient for James. After changing into a set of clothes, James walked out to the living room and said, "Okay, I’m heading out now if there’s nothing else." Gina stood up and asked, "Isn’t it a bit early for you to leave?" S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. James nodded firmly and said, "I’ve got things to do at home." He was a bit scared to stay now; Gina, Emily, plus Sunny, could really drive a man to his death. At that moment, Emily burst out of her room and grabbed James’s arm, saying, "Brother-in-law, I’ll go with you. Take me out to have fun tonight." James, startled, quickly pulled away from Emily’s hand, insisting, "No, no, I really have things to deal with tonight. We’ll talk about it later." He then hurriedly went to change his shoes. Sunny also stood up and said, "In that case, you can give me a ride back." Facing Sunny alone, James was not afraid and left with her, departing from the twins’ home. Once in the elevator, Sunny burst into laughter, glancing between James’s legs. James glared and said, "Sunny, you’re really trying to kill me." Sunny laughed again, then said with pride, "I just wanted to see if you could resist. Hmph, this is for saying you wanted to end things with me." James did feel guilty about Sunny, as he hadn’t been fair to her, and admitted, "Sunny, I just don’t want to do wrong by my girlfriend." Sunny snorted and said, "I’m not trying to have an affair with a married man, I’m not clinging to marry you, nor am I being your mistress. Why are you feeling so burdened?" James was speechless as Sunny continued, "Alright, pretend I never said anything, or you might really think I’m forcing you to have a relationship with me. If I get lonely, can’t I find another man?" In the past, James was quite carefree with women, not caring who they ended up with after a night. But after untangling his complicated feelings with Melody Yoody and establishing a relationship with Emma Campbell, he was no longer as carefree as before, restrained in his actions. Yet, hearing Sunny say this, he felt uncomfortable. Sunny was one of the few women he had had relations with a few times and, even if he didn’t want to admit it, there was some affection there. Once you have feelings, there’s also possessiveness. The thought of Sunny being with another man was quite unbearable. Frowning, he asked, "Are you very lonely now?" "Not particularly, my work keeps me busy, and I don’t have much time to think about other things. But who knows if I’ll feel empty and lonely in the future? I’m an adult with needs. Maybe I’ll go to a bar and find a nice man to have fun with." The elevator doors opened, and James didn’t say a word. He got in the car and drove Sunny to her apartment complex without speaking. They arrived at the gate of her complex. Sunny didn’t get out of the car immediately but turned to look at James and said, "Can you come up and help me? The switches in my apartment are acting up." James nodded and got out of the car with Sunny. This was a favor he couldn’t refuse to help with. Sunny’s home was also a small apartment, around sixty to seventy square meters, with one bedroom. The living room was fairly spacious, and both the kitchen and bathroom were nice too—a type of apartment designed for couples, perfect for two people to live in. "Which switch is not working?" James asked as he entered and changed shoes. Sunny pointed to the bedroom and said, "The socket in there is malfunctioning. It often doesn’t work when charging my computer, and since I like using my laptop in bed, it needs fixing." James smiled and replied, "No big deal, I’ll sort it out for you in no time." Then he went to the power box to shut off the electricity, but he didn’t turn off the lights, just ensured there was no power to the sockets. Sunny Nguyen probably didn’t have any tools, so James Brown just went straight into the bedroom. Using his own key, he opened the electrical outlet box. It turned out that the wiring inside was loose, but he fixed it in a jiffy. After reinstalling the outlet box, he said, "There, all done. You shouldn’t have any problems now." "You’re pretty impressive, aren’t you? You even know how to fix electrical stuff," Sunny Nguyen immediately complimented James Brown. James Brown laughed and said, "That’s really nothing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way." "Hold on, wash your face first. Look at you, all sweaty. I’ll pour you a glass of water. What, are you afraid I’ll eat you up if you stay here?" Sunny Nguyen rolled her eyes at James Brown. James Brown chuckled and said, "What’s there to be afraid of? I’m a man." "Hmph, you don’t act much like one when you’re working," Sunny Nguyen huffed and then turned to go into the kitchen. James Brown went into the bathroom, washed his face, and then dried it with Sunny Nguyen’s towel. From the overall arrangement of Sunny Nguyen’s house, it was clear that she now paid great attention to the quality of life. Everything was quite exquisite. Probably, having been freed from the shackles of marriage, Sunny Nguyen’s pursuits had also changed, or perhaps she had always been this kind of person, but marriage had made her give up some things. When James Brown came out of the bathroom, Sunny Nguyen was standing right at the door, holding a glass of water. It was as if she was startled by James Brown suddenly appearing, exclaiming in surprise. Her hand slipped, and the glass tilted, spilling half its contents onto James Brown. With James Brown’s skills, he could have easily dodged it if he wanted to, but he didn’t want to show off in front of Sunny Nguyen, so he didn’t dodge it at all, and all the water splashed onto him. "Oh no, look at what I’ve done, I got your clothes all wet. Take them off, and I’ll wash them for you. They’ll be dry by tomorrow, and you can wear them again." Sunny Nguyen pushed the glass into James Brown’s hands, and her hands were already reaching for his collar, starting to unbutton his shirt. Sunny Nguyen tossed James Brown’s shirt to the ground, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked up at him with an incredibly seductive gaze, then pressed her face against his chest. "Sunny... don’t... like this," James Brown, with his last bit of rationality, tried to refuse Sunny Nguyen, but a tingling sensation spread from his chest, and that last bit of rationality dissipated. He flung his right hand, and the glass still holding half a cup of water flew to a coffee table two meters away. Then, pulling his arms in, he tightly hugged Sunny Nguyen, lowered his head, and began to passionately kiss her. What followed was just a natural progression, and soon they were tumbling together onto the bed. After a long while, they finally calmed down. Sunny Nguyen found James Brown a cigarette, lit it for herself first, then put it in James Brown’s mouth. James Brown took a deep drag, then exhaled a dense cloud of smoke. He slapped Sunny Nguyen on the buttock and said, "You little demoness, you’re making me make mistakes." Sunny Nguyen trembled slightly from the pat, her eyes sultry, and she said in a coquettish voice, "I want you to make mistakes. Seems like someone’s willpower isn’t all that strong, huh?" James Brown said, "With a woman as beautiful as you deliberately seducing me, no man could resist, and how could he not make mistakes?" They didn’t know how many times they went at it that night. If it weren’t for James Brown’s strong body, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed the next day. When he woke up the next morning, his lower back still felt sore. "What are you thinking about?" Sunny Nguyen also opened her eyes then, her fingers lightly gliding over James Brown’s chest. "My dear lady, please have mercy on me," James Brown quickly grabbed Sunny Nguyen’s hand. Sunny Nguyen laughed out loud but did not continue to tease James Brown. She too was exhausted from the night and couldn’t stand any more. "What are you thinking about? Are you feeling guilty towards your girlfriend?" Sunny Nguyen asked again. James Brown shook his head and said, "What’s done is done, no use thinking about that." "Hehe, you don’t need to feel burdened. You should just go on with your love life with your girlfriend. I don’t have any demands," she said. Looking at Sunny Nguyen, with her clear and tender gaze, James Brown couldn’t help but pull her into his arms once more. How could he reject this Sunny Nguyen? It seemed he would just have to apologize to Emma Campbell.
