185: Chapter 185: You Have a Greater Chance 185: Chapter 185: You Have a Greater Chance “Sandra, what are you doing?”
Jas Brown placed his hands on the counter, maintaining a standing posture without moving, and asked Emily Lopez with a bitter smile.
Emily Lopez had already laid her head on Jas’s back, gently rubbed her face against it twice, and said, “I’m not doing anything.
I can’t help you with cooking, so all I can do is use this thod to make you a bit happier.”
“Stop it, if you keep this up, your sister will co in and kill .”
Emily Lopez didn’t let go, saying, “Why be afraid of her?
I just like my brother-in-law, and I want to hug him.
What can she do about it?”
“It’s not about what I can do, Sandra.
I won’t stop you from doing this, but I can tell you very clearly, I’m not joking with you right now, I’ve made up my mind, and I’m determined to make it work.
He can only be your brother-in-law in this life.
If you think an intimacy like this is appropriate for a little sister-in-law and brother-in-law, then I won’t stop you either.”
Gina Lopez’s voice ca from behind the two, not angry but rather calm.
Yet, within that calmness, her strong determination was evident.
Jas had anticipated that when Emily did this, Gina would definitely co in, so he wasn’t surprised to hear Gina speak, but he felt sowhat surprised that she was so calm.
Emily Lopez’s hands didn’t let go of Jas, but she did stand up straight, creating so distance from his back.
Flicking her head back, she said to Gina, “So just because you’re determined, that’s it?
Brother-in-law is a person, not an object.
If you want brother-in-law, he has to agree too.”
Gina’s tone was as calm as ever, “I don’t care if he is an object or not.
I, Gina Lopez, have never failed at anything I’ve set my mind to, and this ti will be no exception.”
Emily Lopez pursed her lips dismissively, “Hmph, then you’re treating brother-in-law like an object.
Relationships are about mutual affection.
You might be earnest about it, but if brother-in-law doesn’t feel the sa way, it’s useless.”
Jas Brown stretched out his hands, shouting, “Stop!” He then pried Emily’s hands off, turned his head to glare at both of them, his eyes filled with frustration, and said, “Could the two of you please not use things to make analogies about ?”
Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez were montarily stunned, then Gina said, “Oh, I didn’t start this, it was Sandra who said you’re not an object.”
“I didn’t say brother-in-law is not an object, I said he is an object…
Ah, you’re twisting my words!” Gina tried to explain, but as she did, it sounded even more like she was insulting Jas, and she glared angrily at her sister.
“Alright, alright, you two young ladies, do you still want to eat or not?
If you want to eat, then both of you get out.
I don’t have the Martial Arts Skills to deal with you two wealthy young ladies.” He pushed the two out of the kitchen without further explanation, then decisively shut the sliding door to prevent further disturbance.
The kitchen’s sliding door wasn’t soundproof, and Jas could still hear Gina and Emily bickering outside.
Emily was huffing with anger, while Gina spoke in an indifferent tone.
Shaking his head, Jas turned on the fla and the exhaust fan, so he wouldn’t have to hear the noise outside.
He found it all sowhat absurd.
He had pretended to be Gina’s boyfriend once, and now it seed he had to play for real, even getting the twin sister involved.
Was this like a sale at the mall, buy one get one free?
As he was cooking, the kitchen’s sliding door was pulled open again, and Sunny Nguyen walked in.
Facing Sunny, Jas felt no pressure—Sunny’s thoughts were much more mature than Gina’s or Emily’s, and from the beginning, the two had a clear understanding without any burdens.
“That slls good; it looks like I’m in for a treat tonight.” Sunny stood next to Jas, sniffing delicately and smacking her lips, mimicking the gesture of swallowing saliva.
A beauty is a beauty indeed, even swallowing saliva becos a charming gesture.
If so young guys saw this, they’d probably be filled with fantasies.
Without stopping his hands, Jas smiled and said, “Yeah, it’s good you ca.
Otherwise, I’d be scared to even be near these sisters.”
Sunny suddenly laughed, “Lisa Smith, what are you scared of?
This is a great stroke of luck.”
“Quit teasing .
I don’t want to beco a tool for those sisters’ rivalry.
If it weren’t for my girlfriend still being in college, I’d have fled with her long ago.”
“No way, is it really that bad?” Sunny’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I’ll have to stay sowhere, and I just want to live an easy life.
If things get too hard, of course I’ll consider changing environnts.”
Sunny’s mouth twitched slightly before she replied, “You’ve got powerful friends now; it’s an excellent opportunity for growth.
If you leave here, you won’t have such a good chance again.”
Jas knew Sunny was referring to Linda Campbell.
Thinking about the cigarettes Linda gave him, he felt quite reluctant to leave them behind.
If he were to leave YODC City now, he’d probably never have another chance to get such cigarettes again.
“Besides, whether it’s Gina or Sandra, it’s not your fault they like you, and liking soone doesn’t necessarily lead to anything.
Everyone can just be friends and take it from there.”
Listening to Sunny trying to persuade him, Jas laughed lightly and said, “Why do I get the feeling that you don’t want to leave?”
Sunny’s face flushed with a hint of red, and she glanced at Jas, saying sowhat sourly, “What would I miss?
I’m nothing to you.
You wouldn’t think of even if you did think of soone.”
Jas Brown laughed awkwardly.
There really was no further comnt he could make on this matter.
Saying too much would only muddle the relationship between the two of them even more.
Fortunately, Sunny Nguyen also recognized this problem.
She hit Jas lightly and teased, “You little rascal, don’t worry.
I won’t cling to you shalessly.
Even if you want to find in the future, I might not even agree.”
Jas actually felt a bit embarrassed by what Sunny said.
The ti he spent with Sunny indeed brought him joy, and she wasn’t like the won he used to et in bars.
She had class, her emotions weren’t fickle, and having a one-night stand with her could only be called an accident.
Now that they were still colleagues, putting an end to it was not so simple, and it made Jas feel like he was being a bit of a jerk.
“What’s wrong?
Are you feeling a bit guilty?” Sunny asked with a smile.
Jas forced a chuckle and said, “You hit the nail on the head.
I do feel a bit sorry for you.”
Sunny blinked and said, “Well, that’s great.
When I’m feeling lonely, you can co and keep company.”
Jas t Sunny’s gaze and finally shook his head, saying, “I can’t do that now.
I can’t betray my girlfriend.”
Sunny’s face stiffened initially, but she quickly smiled and lightly punched Jas’s shoulder, “I never thought you, a guy who flits around bars having one-night stands, could beco so faithful once you’re really in love.
I’m actually impressed.”
Realizing Sunny wasn’t truly upset, Jas relaxed and joked, “Before, I had no emotional attachnt, so I was driven by physical needs.
Now that I’m in love, I need to exercise so restraint.”
Sunny laughed softly, “Given that, I haven’t misjudged you.
If it weren’t for Gina thinking things through, I might have actually tried to compete.”
Jas laughed heartily, “Then you’d definitely have a better chance than her.”
Sunny spat at Jas and chided, “And you think you’re such a treasure that everyone should fight over you?”
Jas just finished stir-frying a dish and placed it on a plate, saying with a smile, “Isn’t that the case?”
Sunny pursed her lips but knew it was an undeniable fact.
The Twins, Gina and Sandra, had stopped getting along because of Jas.
Plus, it seed that every girl who had co into contact with Jas was quite fond of him.
After pinching Jas, Sunny laughed and said, “I really can’t figure it out.
How does a guy with no money and no power have such good luck with the ladies?”
“It’s all because of my personal charm.”
“You’re really thick-skinned.”
“Alright, Sunny, as the thin-skinned Chief Smith, could you help bring the dishes to the table?
Here I am, a big guy, serving three won.
Talk about injustice.”
After preparing the als, Jas left the kitchen and saw Gina and Sandra still glaring at each other on the sofa, obviously still at odds.
Sunny elbowed Jas and teased, “You really are charming.”
Jas grinned to himself, feeling quite pleased.
After all, making two stunning won like Gina and Sandra jealous over him was sothing any man would be proud of, especially since Gina was a company executive, which made it all the more noteworthy.
“Hey, have you two had enough?
Dinner’s ready,” Jas called out, then took a seat at the table.
Sandra imdiately jumped up, ignoring her sister, and rushed to the table, sitting beside Jas.
She said with a grin, “Brother-in-law, it slls so good.”
“Do I sll that good?” Jas raised his arm and sniffed it.
Sandra giggled, leaned in close to Jas with her face less than ten centiters away from his, took a light sniff, and said with a smile, “It’s not fragrant, but it’s not stinky either.”
Gina approached too, and seeing Sandra so close to Jas, she frowned slightly but didn’t say much.
She sat on the other side of Jas, gave him a slight smile, and said, “Jas, I really appreciate you doing this.”
Jas smiled, “It’s been quite the hassle, indeed.”
Sandra took Jas’s arm and provocatively said to Gina, “It’s all because of you.
If it wasn’t for you, Brother-in-law and I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble.
You’ve ruined the perfect candlelight dinner.”
Gina, still poised in front of Jas, picked up her chopsticks calmly, took a bite of food, and after chewing thoughtfully, she complinted, “The food Jas makes is delicious.
For these culinary skills alone, I won’t concede to you.”
Sandra imdiately snorted and said, “Who needs your concession?
I don’t believe I can’t beat you.”
