James Brown didn't move; he understood what was on Emma Campbell's mind. She wasn't truly thinking of selling herself; rather, it was her profound gratitude towards James and the fact that he was willing to offer so much money without her having any means to repay him that prompted such thoughts. At this moment, Emma probably felt no resistance.
Despite James's penchant for frequenting bars and indulging in one-night stands without restraint, faced with a girl like Emma, he completely lost his usual ease and could only feign sleep, motionless.
"Big Brother Brown... Are you asleep?" Emma's hand rested on James's chest for a while, but she received no response from him and she softly whispered her question.
The only answer was the steady breathing of James.
"Big Brother Brown, you really are a good person, thank you." Emma's voice was gentle as she said this, her body then snuggling closer to him, her face resting on his shoulder.
