The Supreme Soldier in the City-Chapter 572 - 584: Sarah Utah’s Deep Affection

James Brown massaged for a while, but didn’t hear Sarah Utah’s voice. He looked up and saw Sarah’s infatuated gaze. When Sarah met his eyes, her face instantly turned red, and she quickly avoided his gaze. She felt the pain again, but now it was no longer as intense as at the beginning.

The two of them were silent for a moment, with neither speaking. James Brown continued to carefully massage Sarah’s ankle, while Sarah, after James lowered his head, again secretly watched him, her heart surrounded by happiness.

James massaged for quite some time, his mind messing with a lot of thoughts. He’s not someone with a foot fetish, but the feeling of Sarah’s delicate foot in his palm, how could he not have any feelings, especially with Sarah always gazing at him affectionately? He felt that if this continued, he might lose control.

"Okay, that’s enough for tonight," James Brown decisively said, releasing Sarah’s foot.

Sarah immediately said disappointedly, "Ah, is it over so soon?"

James Brown pretended to joke, "You’re becoming addicted, don’t you know this masseur is very expensive?"

"Hehe, how much then? I’ll book another hour," Sarah joked back, winking at James.

"Wow, Sarah, you even know how to book extra time."

Sarah stuck out her tongue, saying, "I’ve never gone, but now with the internet being so developed, is it really a big deal that I know?"

"It’s nothing." James Brown laughed.

"Big Brother Brown, you’re really amazing, I don’t even feel so much pain anymore." Sarah slightly moved her ankle. Although she couldn’t exert much strength, moving it a bit didn’t hurt as much.

James Brown laughed, "Of course, do you even know who I am?"

Sarah squinted her eyes and asked, "Should we do it again tomorrow morning?"

"We’ll see tomorrow morning." James Brown gave Sarah a sidelong glance.

Sarah giggled and said, "Alright, go wash your hands, after massaging my feet for so long, your hands must reek."

James Brown laughed heartily, even bringing his hand to his nose to smell it, saying, "There’s no smell, it’s quite fragrant actually."

Sarah stared at James in shock, her face turning bright red like the sunset.

James also felt that he was being too abrupt. If they continued this way, things with Sarah would become even more ambiguous. He cleared his throat and stood up.

Sarah was so embarrassed she didn’t know what to do, her head down, fingers clutching the bedsheet, even her neck showing a blush.

"Ahem." James cleared his throat again and said, "Sarah, let me go wash my hands first." He then slipped into the bathroom.

After a while, James came out, having calmed his mind. He pulled a chair next to Sarah, ready to sit.

"Big Brother Brown, can you sit beside me?" Sarah saw James was about to sit in the chair next to her and immediately spoke up, her eyes full of earnest pleading.

James hesitated slightly but ended up sitting beside Sarah, though just on the edge. He already felt that today with Sarah, things had gone a bit too far.

Sarah gently grabbed James’s hand and looked deeply into his eyes, which made James’s heart flutter even more. He wanted to pull his hand away but feared embarrassing Sarah, making him feel conflicted.

Just as he was conflicted, Sarah brought his hand to her cheek, softly rubbing his palm with her tender face, whispering, "Big Brother Brown, with today, I’ll be satisfied for a lifetime. I’ll remember how carefully you took care of me, how gentle you were, and I’ll never forget it."

James did not withdraw his hand. To pull away at this moment would truly break Sarah’s heart. On the battlefield, he was never soft-hearted, but towards women, he couldn’t bear to be cruel. Feeling the smoothness of Sarah’s cheek, he said, "Sarah, I’m sorry, I know you care about me, but I really can only let you down."

"Big Brother Brown." Sarah pressed her face into James’s palm, turning her head to look at him, saying affectionately, "I understand; you’re not like those heartless men. If you were, you wouldn’t be thinking so much about taking advantage of me right now."

"Hehe." James could only smile.

Sarah gently caressed James’s palm again and said, "But sometimes I’m unwilling too, Big Brother Brown. You don’t only have Sister Gina, you have Melody Yoody, Sarah Grandy, and Emily Berns. Why can’t I be like them?"

Big Brother Brown quickly said, "Sarah, don’t be foolish. I already don’t know what to do with them, and I feel so guilty. How can I let you follow in their footsteps?"

Sarah Utah murmured softly, almost like in a dream, "Sometimes women are just foolish. Even knowing that moving forward will lead to wounds and bleeding, they still charge ahead without turning back."

Big Brother Brown sighed and said, "Sarah, you are a good girl, I can’t hurt you. I hope you can understand."

"I understand. I know you’re thinking of me, don’t worry. I won’t force you. I like you and just want you to be happy. If it adds a burden to your heart, then it isn’t true love."

Big Brother Brown had to admit that girls like Sarah Utah are rare in this world, truly lovable. Sarah Utah’s personality was somewhat similar to Emma Campbell’s, but a bit bolder. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything with Sarah Utah. He had already left Emma Campbell nameless and unidentified; he couldn’t let Sarah Utah end up the same.

"Big Brother Brown, actually, I want you to stay here with me tonight." Sarah Utah suddenly looked up at him.

Big Brother Brown was startled and was about to refuse when Sarah Utah shyly smiled and said, "But I know if you really stayed, I wouldn’t be able to control myself and would end up having relations with you. That would truly put you in a difficult position, so I’d rather not let you stay here."

Big Brother Brown breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You silly girl."

"Girls are only happy when they’re a little foolish. Being too smart makes life exhausting. I’d rather remain a silly girl by your side."

Big Brother Brown couldn’t help but gently stroke Sarah Utah’s lovely hair, unsure of what to say.

At this moment, Sarah Utah also stopped talking. After a while, her breathing gradually became even; she had fallen asleep.

Big Brother Brown looked at Sarah Utah’s sweet and satisfied sleeping pose, feeling truly guilty. He thought of going back to his room to sleep but ended up sitting there without moving. Didn’t Sarah Utah hope that he would stay with her? So he stayed, after all, Sarah Utah fell asleep. There was nothing unspeakable about it.

Sarah Utah felt like she had never slept so well. Recently, she often dreamed about sharing a room with Big Brother Brown. Although they weren’t in the same room tonight, as she slept, it felt like Big Brother Brown was there, just like sharing a room.

Finally awakening, Sarah Utah opened her eyes and suddenly saw Big Brother Brown resting half on the bed, momentarily stunned. His legs were on the bed, and she was hugging them.

Instinctively, Sarah Utah released his legs, but suddenly hugged them again. From their position, it was clear Big Brother Brown spent the night there. Though not lying on the bed, he had let her cling to his legs all night, no wonder she slept so soundly; he hadn’t left at all.

Finding out he hadn’t left truly made Sarah Utah both happy and regretful. If she knew he would stay, she wouldn’t have slept so deeply or merely hugged his legs. She should have nestled into his embrace.

Think of this, and Sarah Utah blushed deeply. Her thoughts were becoming more shameless. How could she be fair to Gina Lopez? It was also putting Big Brother Brown in a difficult situation.

Reflecting on how he slept in this position all night, surely uncomfortable, she felt sorrowful and couldn’t stand to let him sit like that. Though reluctant, she released his legs, gently pushed him, and he immediately opened his eyes.

"Awake?" Big Brother Brown smiled at her.

Sarah Utah’s face was red, but she calmly met his gaze and softly said, "Big Brother Brown, last night must have been hard. Please lie down and rest for a while."

Big Brother Brown chuckled, twisted his neck, and said, "It’s okay."

"Come on, lie down for a bit. Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. I just see you’re exhausted."

Sitting like that all night was indeed tiring. Even though Sarah Utah was awake, he felt guilty lying on the same bed, so he shook his head and said, "No need. Since you’re awake, I’ll head back to my room to sleep for a bit."

Sarah Utah immediately grabbed his leg and pouted, "Big Brother Brown, you spent the whole night with me, why not stay here and sleep now? Are you afraid I might eat you?"

"Well..."

"Rest assured, I guarantee I won’t touch you."

With Sarah Utah saying this, Big Brother Brown couldn’t keep a straight face and laughed, "I’m not afraid of you touching me."

"Then what are you waiting for? Lie down." Sarah Utah said, pulling his arm, and Big Brother Brown followed suit and lay down.
