The Supreme Soldier in the City-Chapter 573 - 585: Confessions Didn’t Match

Next to him lay a beauty like Sarah Utah, who clearly had feelings for him, so how could John Brown possibly sleep? Even though Sarah hadn’t touched him even once, the tender gaze she kept on his face left him utterly sleepless.

Opening his eyes, John Brown looked at Sarah and said, "Sarah, maybe we should just forget about it. With you here, I really can’t sleep."

Sarah chuckled and said, "Are you really afraid I’ll take advantage of you?"

John Brown laughed and replied, "I’m not afraid of you taking advantage of me, but rather I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist taking advantage of you."

Sarah blushed and scolded, "Big Brother Brown, you’re so naughty, I know you aren’t that kind of person."

John Brown smiled and said, "Men’s impulses sometimes come for no reason, you shouldn’t trust people so readily."

"Got it, I only trust Big Brother Brown, no one else," Sarah said.

"Alright, let’s get up then. We have a flight this morning, and we can’t be late." John Brown sat up.

"Okay!" Sarah didn’t insist. She was satisfied to share a bed with John Brown for just this moment. Once she sat up, her face turned red again, and she bashfully said, "Big Brother Brown, I need to trouble you... to carry me to the bathroom."

John Brown chuckled and easily picked Sarah up, his movements relaxed and natural, while Sarah draped an arm over John Brown’s shoulder. She really wanted to wrap her arms around his neck but restrained herself in the end.

After freshening up, Sarah asked John Brown to carry her back to bed, looking at him with a smile, "Big Brother Brown, will you massage me this morning?"

John Brown relaxed and laughed, "Sure, it’s good for you after all."

"That’s great." Sarah cheered, but immediately felt her reaction was over the top, looking at John Brown with an embarrassed, blushing face.

John Brown pretended not to notice, grabbing Sarah’s foot again and started massaging.

Sarah was tense at first, but once the pain came, her attention shifted to it. After a while, as the pain lessened, she was enveloped by an indescribable feeling, hoping John Brown would keep massaging her forever.

However, everything must end. When John Brown released her foot, Sarah felt an indescribable loss, but she knew she couldn’t force such things. Having these unexpected moments with John Brown already made her very happy.

Most people consider getting hurt while out an unfortunate event, but for Sarah, she saw it as a stroke of luck, which is rare.

The two of them packed up in the morning and were taken to the airport. John Brown continued to carry Sarah, who rested for a day and her foot was slightly better, but she couldn’t walk yet. John Brown had been carrying her both last night and this morning, and by now, carrying Sarah felt quite natural for him.

As they drew closer to YODC City, Sarah felt a bit down again. Though she always liked John Brown, she only liked him secretly and had never done anything intimate with him. After having these intimate moments, the thought of returning to the company and merely being colleagues again made her feel uneasy.

John Brown noticed Sarah’s gloominess, but he could only pretend not to know. He couldn’t casually pursue Sarah anymore; it was already quite good till now. Otherwise, it would lead Sarah deeper and in the end, this lovely girl would get hurt.

The two had accomplished a great task, and the company specially sent a car to pick them up. People in the company assumed John and Sarah were a couple. Seeing John carrying Sarah out, they teased the two, making Sarah secretly happy. Returning to YODC City, this was the only thing that could console her, the misconception of others about her relationship with John.

Because of Sarah’s sprained ankle, John Brown had the driver drop her off directly at home, while he went straight to the company to brief Gina Lopez on the details.

Gina Lopez was very satisfied with the matter and without John Brown needing to remind her, she immediately approved a Four Thousand Dollar bonus for each of them.

John Brown joked, "Honey, you should approve a bit more, after all, it’s not like it’s not our own family business."

Gina Lopez rolled her eyes at him and said, "This bonus is already quite high. What more do you want? It’s only because of Sarah that you’re getting any money at all; otherwise, you wouldn’t even get a cent. You’re still the company president, aren’t you?"

John Brown shrugged, "I’ve never collected a president’s salary; it’s just a title."

"Do you want the president’s salary or not?" Gina Lopez winked at him.

"No way, I don’t want it. What if you make me do the president’s work then?"

By now, they were like an old married couple, speaking without reservations and lightening up their relationship with jokes.

Knowing Sarah had sprained her foot, John and Gina even made a special visit to Sarah’s home at three in the afternoon.

It was John Brown’s first time visiting Sarah’s home. Her mother was there, and seeing the company president personally visiting her daughter made her especially excited.

In Sarah’s room, Gina sat on the bed, holding Sarah’s hand and said, "Sarah, you really worked hard this time, and got injured too. I’ve approved a Four Thousand Dollar bonus and another Two Thousand as a token of sympathy."

Sarah repeatedly thanked her, and Gina Lopez smiled, "You deserve it. Compared to those huge kickbacks, this little bonus is nothing." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Sarah promptly said, "Taking kickbacks would be harming the company, I wouldn’t do that. It’s more reassuring to take a legitimate bonus."

After a few business comments, Gina Lopez smiled and said to Sarah, "Sarah, how did my husband perform this time? He didn’t mess things up for you, did he?"

Sarah’s face showed a hint of panic as she replied, "No, no, without Big Brother Brown, I wouldn’t have done as well."

Gina looked at John Brown, who shrugged innocently. Although he had stayed in the same room with Sarah for a night, they hadn’t done anything, so he felt no guilt.

"Haha, I know my husband well. If you ask him to do anything, it will definitely go wrong. It’s all thanks to you, Sarah. By the way, your foot is sprained, my husband’s massage skills are quite good. Didn’t he give you a massage?"

Sarah instinctively shook her head and said, "No, no."

John Brown was speechless. He had already told Gina Lopez about giving Sarah a massage, and now Sarah was actually saying he hadn’t, wasn’t she just making Gina think in a bad direction? And sure enough, a sharp pain hit the top of his foot; Gina’s heel had already stepped on it, showing she was starting to imagine things.

"Husband, really, Sarah sprained her ankle, how could you not offer her a massage?" Gina Lopez scolded John Brown, showing genuine resentment.

Sarah didn’t realize any of this, her face still flushed as she said, "Really, he didn’t. Big Brother Brown has always been gentlemanly to me."

John Brown was even more speechless. This girl Sarah wasn’t someone who could lie, so why was she lying now? He understood; Sarah was afraid saying he massaged her would make Gina think wrongly, but doing this only made Gina suspect worse.

"That’s good. Alright, Sarah, take good care these next few days. We have to go pick up our daughter now, so we’ll be leaving."

"Okay, take care, Mr. Lopez, I won’t see you out. Thank you for visiting me, you and Big Brother Brown both." Sarah sighed with relief, she was really afraid Gina would ask about her and John Brown’s situation elsewhere.

In the car, Gina shot an annoyed glance at John Brown and said, "You’re something, aren’t you?"

John Brown smiled wryly, "Honey, I’ve already told you everything. It’s just Sarah worrying you’d misunderstand that she said so. If we really had something going on, wouldn’t we have made sure to get our stories straight? You would see right through us like now."

Gina snorted, "Alright, you’ve got a point. Otherwise, there would be trouble for you."

Gina was smart too, though Sarah lied, because of John Brown informing her beforehand, she believed nothing happened between them. Her chides to John Brown were intentional, slowly tightening her reins on him, letting him know he can’t act willfully outside. Judging by his reaction, it was evidently working.

They went to pick up Little Violet, who was very close to John Brown after being away for several days, and since John Brown had brought her gifts, the little girl was overjoyed, sticking with John Brown all the way home.

Grace Lopez was also overjoyed, sticking to John Brown, asking for foot and leg massages, but not for long. Shortly after nine, she slipped away to sleep with Little Violet.

This surprised John Brown. Usually, Grace clung to him for longer periods, but it seemed whenever he was away for a few days, she’d give him and Gina more space. This little sister-in-law’s actions were really hard to decipher.

But John Brown couldn’t think about it too much. By this time, Gina was also ready, and the couple turned in early for a night of love, their love life as thrilling as newlyweds again, something beyond what others could describe.
