After making a decision, James Brown realized he hadn't yet answered Emily Lopez's call, so he hastily connected and said, "Emily."
"Brother-in-law, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Emily's tone held a hint of complaint, and a touch of coquetry.
"Hehe, I was driving, and there was a bit of a situation just now, so it wasn't convenient to answer."
"Liar, you drive so well that even in the most dangerous situations, it wouldn't stop you from making calls. Speak up, are you up to something naughty?"
James Brown broke into a sweat, as his lie was immediately seen through by Emily Lopez, and he chuckled: "I was just thinking about something, that's why I missed your call. By the way, has Qiao Ya come back yet?"
"Nope, and if she did, wouldn't she contact you first?"
"True that, by the way, why did you call, how's mom doing?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just missing you, so I decided to call. My mom's fine."
