Chapter 494: Chapter 503: Underwater

“You have a bed but you’re sleeping on the sofa? Could it be…” John Brown furrowed his brows.

Grace Lopez immediately jumped up. Her little pajamas couldn’t hide her charms, but she didn’t care at all. She hugged John Brown’s arm and playfully said, “Brother-in-law, it’s not that I don’t like Little Violet. It’s just that I’m used to sleeping alone, and having two more people makes me uncomfortable. Look at how good I am, giving up the bed for your daughter. You have to praise me well.”

Upon hearing Grace Lopez say this, John Brown felt somewhat guilty. He had indeed thought Grace Lopez did not like Emily Jones and was sleeping outside in a fit of pique. He immediately patted Grace Lopez’s head and said, “Sandra is the best. When we’re out having fun today, whatever you want, just say it. Brother-in-law will satisfy you.”

Grace Lopez giggled and said, “I knew Brother-in-law was the best. It’s been so long since we went out together. Just going out with the family makes me happy; I don’t need anything else.”

John Brown noticed that Grace Lopez was in an exceptionally good mood today, radiating charm. Such a Sandra was really captivating. He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll make breakfast for you. You tidy up quickly, so we can leave early.”

“Yes, sir!” Grace Lopez giggled and rushed into the bathroom to fight for a spot with her sister.

Today was the weekend, and neither Gina Lopez nor Grace Lopez had to work. It was perfect for everyone to go out together. They first took a car and then a boat, arriving at the small island they had visited a few times before.

During preparations, Sarah Grandy suggested inviting Emma Campbell along as well, which made John Brown a bit embarrassed. Now that Sarah was staying here, he couldn’t do anything about it. Gina Lopez knew about Sarah’s situation and wouldn’t say anything for now. But if they invited Emma, it would be like establishing a harem.

“Uncle, you said you wanted to be with Sister Emma,” Sarah Grandy pouted when she saw John Brown not responding and said another sentence.

Gina Lopez looked at John Brown and smiled, saying, “Then give Emma a call.”

John Brown sweatdropped and said, “Forget it, she won’t come. Last time, when you went, she was too scared to come out.” Gina Lopez’s current attitude really puzzled John Brown. Gina’s generosity during this time made him unable to believe it, as it didn’t quite fit her character.

Sarah also recalled that day but still pouted and said, “If Sister Grace is here, then Sister Emma wouldn’t be so scared.”

Gina Lopez frowned slightly and said, “Charlotte, I know you have something against me, but as James’s wife, I’ve been tolerant enough.”

Sarah pursed her lips and dared not say more. Now that John Brown was with Gina Lopez, if she clashed with Gina, she couldn’t stay here.

Grace Lopez then giggled and said, “Alright, we can’t fit more people in the car. Our family doesn’t have a camper like Sister Emily.”

Finally resolving Sarah’s little grievance, everyone set off. They first drove to the seaside and then hired a speedboat to head towards the island.

It was Little Violet’s first time on a boat. At first, she was quite scared, but she soon started giggling, swaying left and right, clamoring to sit beside her.

John Brown obliged, holding her by the waist and letting her dip her hand into the seawater, which delighted the little girl.

However, upon arriving on the island, John Brown discovered that the island had changed quite a bit. Previously, not many people came to the island, but today, the area suitable for swimming was already crowded, seemingly turning into a tourist spot.

But none of this dampened their spirits. The more, the merrier, making it seem even more fun. They rented a sunshade and stored their valuables at a local resident’s house before changing into swimsuits and heading to the beach.

The three beauties in swimsuits were quite striking, especially Gina Lopez and Grace Lopez, who wore identical swimsuits, hairstyles, and had the same figure and appearance. John Brown couldn’t tell which was his wife and which was his sister-in-law.

Little Violet was also in a cute little swimsuit, her big eyes curiously darting between Grace Lopez and Gina Lopez.

“Godfather, the two aunts look exactly alike.”

John Brown laughed and said, “Let’s play a game then.”

“Yes, yes!” The little girl shouted excitedly at the mention of a game.

“We’ll play a guessing game. See if you can tell which one is Aunt Emily and which is Aunt Sandra?”

Gina Lopez and Grace Lopez both squatted down, and the little girl came up to them, touching their faces and hands, shaking her little head and saying, “Which one is Aunt Emily?”

Gina Lopez chuckled lightly and said, “I am.”

The little girl immediately grabbed Gina Lopez’s hand in excitement and happily shouted, “Godfather, I figured it out. This is Aunt Emily.”

Everyone burst into laughter; this little girl really is quite a mischievous sprite, and she’s adorably cute.

Today, Emily Brown is the star; everyone revolves around her, playing with her because she’ll be living here in the future. So Aunt Emily, as the stepmother, needs to make her accept her as soon as possible. Charlotte, in order to establish herself in James Brown’s family, sees Little Violet as a crucial supporter. That’s why she tries extra hard to get along with her. But Emily Lopez doesn’t have much on her mind; she’s just having fun because there’s a new kid around.

Watching the three people surrounding Little Violet, James Brown doesn’t really have a chance to play with his daughter. But that’s okay; he hopes Little Violet can accept Aunt Emily sooner too.

Recently, due to emotional matters, James Brown has been quite frazzled. Now he finally feels much more relaxed. Since there’s nothing urgent to attend to, he swims out to sea to stretch his muscles a bit.

After swimming for a while, someone catches up from behind, “Honey, wait for me, I’ll swim with you.”

James Brown turns his head and sees Aunt Emily coming over, immediately stops and laughs, “Why aren’t you playing with Violet anymore?”

Aunt Emily comes over and hugs James Brown’s neck, saying, “I’m exhausted. If I can’t catch up with you soon, I won’t be able to swim anymore.”

James Brown circles Aunt Emily’s waist with both hands and laughs, “Then take a break.”

Aunt Emily smiles sweetly, saying, “Sandra and Charlotte are over there helping Violet dig for small crabs, so I’m here with you.”

The water here is relatively deep, and there aren’t many people around. James Brown leans over and gently kisses Aunt Emily’s cheek, saying, “You’re really great, honey.”

“Finally noticed my goodness?” Aunt Emily’s face blushed slightly, teased, “You better treat me better from now on.”

“I’ll definitely treat my wife better,” James Brown chuckled, as a hand underwater touched Aunt Emily’s chest.

“Honey…” Aunt Emily’s face turned redder, burying her head into James Brown’s shoulder, feeling weak all over, relying solely on his hand to stay half afloat on the water’s surface.

James Brown gently rubbed twice, laughing, “Thinking about it already?”

“Naughty…” Aunt Emily pouted, kissing James Brown’s neck lightly.

Seeing Aunt Emily so passionate, James too felt his heart racing, recalling the time when he swam the seas with Lucy Campbell, he whispered to Aunt Emily, “Honey, I’ll take you on a romantic adventure.”

“Ah…” Aunt Emily excitedly looked at James Brown.

James Brown chuckled, lowered his head, kissed Aunt Emily’s lips and with a strong kick, took her underwater.

Aunt Emily’s head suddenly submerged, initially startled, she quickly clung onto James Brown, her arms and legs flailing a bit. But soon realized there was no danger underwater; the air passed from James’ mouth was enough to keep her from suffocating.

James brought Aunt Emily to swim another few dozen meters to the deep water area. Here the water was over ten meters deep but clearer, you could see the underwater scenery.

Aunt Emily now more relaxed, opened her eyes to see the underwater view. Being in the arms of the man she loved, kissed by him, and gazing at scenery underwater; she was unbelievably thrilled by the romance.

Then James kicked, and they surfaced. James held Aunt Emily sideways, asked, “How is it, honey?”

“It’s absolutely beautiful!” Aunt Emily’s eyes sparkled with excitement, she hugged James Brown’s neck, “Take me down again, quickly.”

James Brown laughed heartily, took a deep breath, and dove underwater again with Aunt Emily.

Hand in hand, they both dive deeper towards the sea floor. Because of the clarity of the water, one could almost see the landscape of the ocean floor. After about ten to twenty seconds, James passed air into Aunt Emily’s mouth, allowing them to stay underwater for about three to five minutes.

After a few times like this, when James submerged again and was passing air to Aunt Emily, she directly kissed him, hugging his waist tightly, refusing to let go.

In such a luscious moment, Aunt Emily’s reaction was not unexpected for James. He felt a great sense of accomplishment knowing the effort Aunt Emily had put into their relationship, often feeling quite guilty about it. Being able to offer her such an experience was somewhat of a compensation that soothed his heart.

They passionately kissed underwater. Today’s kiss felt different, but being submerged and Aunt Emily’s excitement seemed quite natural.

James kissed Aunt Emily, his hands exploring her body. Since their marriage, aside from being intimate at home, they hadn’t had many romantic outings before love, marrying first dating later; now it seemed they were finally enjoying such moments.
