CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 525: EMILY LOPEZ IS DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH

John Brown originally wanted to ask more questions, but the car had already arrived at the entrance of Emily Lopez’s school. Emily pushed open the car door and got out, waving to John Brown and said, "Brother-in-law, I’m off, pick me up in the evening."

"Got it." John Brown replied, watching Emily Lopez walk into the school with a light-hearted step.

John Brown shook his head and smiled wryly. Emily Lopez didn’t hold him accountable for kissing her, which should have relieved him. However, John Brown was increasingly worried about one issue, which was that his relationship with Emily Lopez was getting closer, completely surpassing the normal feelings between a brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

This time, John Brown kissed her, and she didn’t mind. Wouldn’t she mind if he touched her next time? Even more so, if he were to go further with this sister-in-law, would she still not mind?

Thinking about this, John Brown’s heart strangely gave an affirmative answer—even if things really went that way, Emily Lopez wouldn’t get angry. This answer was somewhat frightening for John Brown, and he didn’t know where his confidence came from.

"No, I must keep some distance from Sandra in the future, I can’t do anything that will make Gina sad again."

With this decision made, John Brown returned to the office and went to work.

As soon as he entered the security room, everyone immediately surrounded John Brown. Mark Davis was the first to ask, "Manager Johnson, did Mr. Lopez say anything to you last night?"

John Brown chuckled and said, "He didn’t. Such a small matter, what could he say? Besides, I drank a lot, and she wouldn’t argue with me. Do you think Mr. Lopez is that petty?"

"That’s good, that’s good. We were worried for you last night."

"No worries, no worries, let’s get to work. Now that I’m in charge of the security department, you can’t embarrass me."

Everyone responded enthusiastically, and John Brown got down to work as the security department manager for real.

He had just returned to the city and started working as a security guard, so he was familiar with this line of work. Compared to the tasks he used to carry out, this security job was too simple, allowing John Brown to feel much more at ease than being a manager in the human resources department.

David Clark, the chubby intern, came to John Brown today. On one hand, he came to see his former boss, and on the other hand, he asked about the whereabouts of that secretary, Emily Campbell.

John Brown casually made up a reason, saying that Lucy Campbell had switched jobs and gone to work elsewhere. David Clark was quite frustrated by this. In fact, he wasn’t the only one; all the men in the company were frustrated. Lucy Campbell, a true Goddess figure, had excited all the men in the company for numerous days and nights. Even if they couldn’t get close, just seeing her and exchanging a few words was a form of happiness. But this happiness was too short-lived. Altogether, it didn’t last half a month before this Goddess left.

Today, Emily Bailey was with Sarah Grandy, so John Brown didn’t pick up Sarah Grandy. In the evening, he picked up Emily Lopez and his daughter, while Gina Lopez drove herself home. Given the more intimate relationship with John Brown now, as the general manager of the company, she naturally didn’t want others to see them getting too close.

"Daddy, look, this is the Red Little Flower I got today." As soon as she got in the house, Little Violet took out a notebook from her backpack and proudly showed it to John Brown.

During this period, John Brown’s biggest achievement, apart from helping his daughter adapt to life here, was winning the title of "Dad" from her.

Gina Lopez immediately took the notebook, looked at it carefully, patted Little Violet’s head, and praised, "Good girl. How shall Daddy and Mommy reward you?"

Having started calling John Brown "Daddy," she naturally called Gina "Mommy" too. The little girl was still young. Initially, they were planning for her to stay with John Smith and his wife, but over time she gradually forgot them. Moreover, John Brown and Gina Lopez treated her very well and often played games with her that she had never tried before. Naturally, she started seeing John Brown and Gina Lopez as her biological parents.

"I want to go to the seaside to catch little crabs again." Little Violet immediately exclaimed excitedly.

Gina Lopez smiled and said, "But just two Red Little Flowers aren’t enough. There are still three days until the weekend, you’d better earn a few more Red Little Flowers first."

"Great, great! I’ll definitely listen to my kindergarten teacher and earn a few more Red Little Flowers."

John Brown gave a thumbs up in approval to Gina Lopez. Though his wife hadn’t given birth yet, she sure had a knack for managing children, correcting some of Little Violet’s bad habits and making their daughter more well-behaved.

After dinner, the family of four strolled around the park for a while. When they got back, Little Violet took an early bath and went to bed, while Gina Lopez returned to her room to review some documents.

After taking a bath, Emily Lopez lay down on the sofa and said, "Brother-in-law, now it’s my turn."

John Brown cleared his throat and said, "Sandra, I’m a little tired today, I won’t give you a foot massage."

"Tired?" Emily Lopez looked at John Brown with doubt, then her eyes rolled around a few times,

John Brown, feeling somewhat guilty, said, "Yeah, I’m a bit tired."

Suddenly, Emily Lopez jumped up and rushed directly into John Brown and Gina Lopez’s bedroom, shouting to Gina Lopez, "Sis, look at Brother-in-law, he won’t massage my feet today."

John Brown was rendered speechless, he really didn’t expect Grace Lopez to run to Gina and lodge a complaint, he hurriedly followed in and said, "Sandra, it’s not that I don’t want to massage you, I’m just really a bit tired today."

Sandra pouted and said, "You’re lying. You’re clearly full of energy today, just look at yourself, there’s not a trace of tiredness."

Gina also looked at John Brown in confusion and said, "Honey, what’s wrong with you?"

Before John Brown could reply, Sandra jumped in and said, "Sis, I know what’s up with my brother-in-law, he’s obviously tired of me for bothering your family of three. Alright, I’ll just move out tomorrow to stop affecting you guys."

Gina hurriedly said, "Your brother-in-law definitely doesn’t mean that, don’t overthink."

John Brown was truly defeated by Sandra, and he had no choice but to say, "Yes, I didn’t mean it that way."

Sandra said grudgingly, "But you used to willingly give me foot massages, and today you refused, obviously, you have something on your mind. So tell me, why won’t you massage me, don’t say you’re tired, you’re so fit, how could you be tired?"

John Brown coughed lightly and said, "Sandra, I’m your brother-in-law, it’s not very appropriate to keep giving you foot massages."

Sandra snorted, "That’s clearly an excuse, you did it for me before too, humph, could it be you have some nasty thoughts in your mind?"

Gina immediately glared at John Brown, who then awkwardly said, "No, absolutely not."

"Then what are you scared of? An upright man fears no accusation, fine, fine, I won’t let you massage me, maybe I’ll just let my foot break." Sandra turned and walked out.

John Brown couldn’t help but smile wryly, given this turn of events by Sandra, Gina would definitely have something to say, and at this moment, Gina quietly asked, "What’s going on?"

John Brown again smiled wryly, and said, "I just feel that always giving Sandra foot massages doesn’t feel very right, after all, she’s my sister-in-law."

Gina gave John Brown a sidelong glance and said, "You’re overthinking it, Sandra has done so much for us to be together, she surely won’t have any thoughts, as long as your heart is true, there’s no problem."

John Brown thought to himself that his heart was true, but Sandra’s was somewhat questionable. Yet this wasn’t something convenient to discuss with Gina, so he said, "I treat Sandra like my own little sister."

"Then that’s fine. Why worry so much? We’re family. I don’t have the time to look after her, so it’s only right for her brother-in-law to care for her more."

John Brown was about to say more when Gina gently kissed his cheek and said, "If you feel worn out by giving Sandra foot massages, then tonight I’ll... take good care of you as compensation."

John Brown’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Gina with a playful grin, "Really?"

"You big rascal, tonight I’ll be on top, okay?"

"Okay, okay." John Brown nodded repeatedly. Before, with other women, there were always fancy tricks, but with Gina, even though she enjoyed it as well, it was always the standard man-on-top position. Just talking about switching positions was enough to excite John Brown immensely. Truly, the harder something is to get, the more precious it becomes.

John Brown went to the living room, where Sandra was sitting on the sofa with a smug look, watching him.

John Brown sat down by her feet, and she immediately threw her foot onto his leg, and said, pouting, "Bad brother-in-law, weren’t you ignoring me?"

John Brown knew full well Sandra was saying this deliberately for Gina to hear, so he could only go along with it and said, "Aren’t I here taking care of you?"

"Humph, I don’t need you anymore." Sandra said this, but her little foot was playfully wriggling on John Brown’s leg.

"Alright, alright, my little lady, I was wrong, okay? From now on I’ll give you massages every day. Just don’t scold your brother-in-law." John Brown’s words were half-truths.

Sandra chuckled secretly and said, "Alright then, seeing how sincere you are, I’ll let you massage them."

John Brown grabbed Sandra’s foot and suddenly pressed hard, causing Sandra to cry out and pout, "Bad brother-in-law, you’re retaliating."

John Brown chuckled and said, "That’s for you tattling to your sister."

Sandra quickly pleaded, "No more, no more, brother-in-law, go easy."

Only then did John Brown lessen his strength, holding Sandra’s foot in his palm, kneading and pressing as Sandra squinted with an immensely satisfied look. Watching this mischievous sister-in-law, John Brown didn’t know what to say.
