200: Chapter 200 Agreed 200: Chapter 200 Agreed “I asked you, compared to your girlfriend Emma Campbell, am I not as pretty as her?” Helen Wilson clutched Jas Brown’s arm, staring at him as she questioned.
Jas swallowed, scanned Helen from head to toe and thought that this policewoman was indeed on par with Emma in terms of looks.
Helen then asked, “And isn’t my figure better than hers?”
Jas’s gaze lingered on Helen’s chest.
Sensing where his eyes were fixed, she instinctively shrank back, but then she promptly thrust out her chest again.
Indeed, Helen’s bust was one size larger than Emma’s, and her figure was sowhat more voluptuous.
Comparatively, it seed Helen had a slight edge, which unintentionally made her declare, “Yours is better than hers.”
Satisfied, Helen nodded and said, “Then what’s stopping you from making your wife?”
Jas shook his head with a wry smile, “Marriage is a lifelong commitnt.
How can you decide it based on looks alone?
I admit you’re as beautiful as Lemon and even have a better figure.
If you wear a uniform, it’s definitely a kind of temptation no man could resist.
But I promised Lemon that I’d be her boyfriend, and I intend to treat her well.
I can’t marry you just because you have a better figure than hers.”
At this point, Helen seed to be stuck in a loop of thought as she snorted, “Don’t you know that marriage is the grave of love?
Even the deepest love is dulled by mundane life challenges after marriage.
Ultimately, whether a couple stays together for life isn’t about love but about adapting to each other’s lifestyle.”
“Even if we talk about adapting to life, Lemon is gentle and virtuous—perfect for living a life together.
If I can live a peaceful life with her for a lifeti, what reason do I have not to stay with her?”
“What does being gentle and virtuous really an now?
Be it n or won, doesn’t everyone show their best side when dating?
Who reveals their flaws?
And people in love tend to overlook their partner’s faults and magnify their virtues.
But after you get married, what gets magnified are the faults—and the virtues are often ignored.”
“But you saying this doesn’t prove that I should abandon Lemon to marry you, does it?”
“I’ve made myself clear to you.
If she can understand, just continue being with her.
If not, I’m ready to spend my life with you.
Although we’ve never dated, during the ti I’ve interacted with you, I can judge you correctly and know your faults.
I won’t blindly magnify them later, so spending a lifeti together wouldn’t be challenging.”
“Wait a minute.
You understand , but I hardly know you.
I don’t know whether I can adapt to you in the future.
I can’t just gamble my latter half of life on you.”
“What do you an gamble on ?
Look at how n and won used to get married in the past without any courtship process.
It was arranged by parents; as long as both families agreed, the couple lived together and often quite well.
It’s only now with love marriages that the divorce rate has soared.”
Jas was speechless, finding Helen’s theories completely muddled.
At that mont, Helen patted Jas on the shoulder, saying, “I know you have concerns, but I promise here that I will treat you well and be a good wife and mother.
I, Helen Wilson, always keep my word.
Isn’t that enough?”
Jas stared at Helen, and she stared back, unblinking, to demonstrate her resolve.
The two locked eyes for a full minute before Jas suddenly burst out laughing, “Officer Monaghan, are you really putting your whole life on the line for a case?
Isn’t that a bit too much of a loss?”
Helen’s mouth twitched, but she firmly said, “If solving this case saves many people, then sacrificing myself is worth it, isn’t it?”
“Such noble spirit,” Jas said with a mix of laughter and disbelief.
“It’s just a smuggling case, right?
It’s hardly about saving many lives; at most, it’s about maintaining economic stability and preventing tax losses.”
“That’s where you’re wrong.
Smuggling isn’t that simple; it involves many aspects and significantly impacts the economy.
Just think about it, goods smuggled in cheaply will affect legitimate businesses, possibly leading to their closure.
If they suffer heavy losses, they might resort to actions harmful to society.
Once such events occur, who knows how many people will be affected?
It’s like a butterfly effect—overlooking one small issue legally might lead to nurous consequences.”
Jas was stunned by Helen’s argunt, even bringing up the butterfly effect.
But he had to agree there was so truth in her words.
The ancients had said do not commit small evils and neglect small good deeds.
This ans that accumulating small evils might lead to big ones, and consistently doing small good deeds builds trendous rit.
Seeing Jas deep in thought, Helen struck while the iron was hot, “So I have to pursue this case.
It’s dangerous, I know, and I’m even ready to risk my life.
Why would I fear spending a lifeti with you?”
Jas grimaced, “That’s a hefty price indeed.”
Feeling hopeful, Helen gave a slight smile, “Not really.
I think you’re quite decent, or else I wouldn’t have chosen only you.”
“Wow, you must actually be falling for , using this opportunity to be with , huh?”
“You wish!” Helen imdiately glared, her tone a bit harsh, but realizing it might annoy Jas, she quickly rolled her eyes and added, “I ant marrying you might not be too problematic.
I didn’t say I’ve fallen for you.”
Jas Brown was speechless for a mont; Helen Wilson’s thinking was simply too weird at this point.
However, he couldn’t help but admire her dedication to justice.
Such a policewoman, no matter what, definitely deserved admiration.
Thinking of Emma Campbell, the empathetic girl, Jas wasn’t actually worried.
As long as he explained the situation clearly, she would surely agree.
He then said to Helen with a wry smile, “Alright, you’ve really beaten .
For the sake of your justice, I’ll help you this once.
But you have to promise to explain everything to Lemon yourself later.”
“No problem!
But we can’t talk about it now, otherwise, if the word gets out, we’ll have failed before we even start.”
“Okay, let’s keep it under wraps for now.”
Helen, excited, said, “Great, then let’s go et my parents today and register on Monday.”
“What?
So soon?” Jas exclaid once more.
“The sooner we solve this case, the better, right?
We need to get the money sooner too.”
“But we need to prepare a bit, don’t we?
Otherwise, eting your parents might just give us away.”
“Oh, you’re right.
By the way, you have a girlfriend, you’ve t her parents before, right?
Surely you have so experience.
Think about what we should do.”
Jas was hugely embarrassed; Helen had unexpectedly pushed this task onto him.
But he did have experience, having t Gina Lopez’s parents smoothly last ti.
Having agreed, Jas got into character and started asking about Helen’s parents’ preferences and other such details.
Of course, the main thing was to inquire about Helen’s own habits and preferences—it wouldn’t do to be getting married without even knowing what kind of person Helen was.
Helen answered most of Jas’s questions, but when he asked if she had any bad habits, she turned slightly red and awkwardly said, “Do I really have to tell you that?”
Seeing Helen’s deanor, Jas beca even more intrigued and said with a smile, “Of course you have to tell , we’re getting married after all.
I should definitely know about this, right?”
“I…
I…” Helen stamred, her face turning bright red, unable to get the words out.
“Co on, get into character now.
You need to treat like your husband, like we’ve already slept together.”
“Heck no, I’m not sleeping with you!” Helen suddenly widened her eyes.
“We’re getting married and not sleeping together?” Jas asked back, sowhat annoyed.
“Well, that’s true…
My bad habit is that I don’t like to wear clothes when I sleep at night.” After Helen said this, her face turned bright red, and she turned her head away, not daring to look at Jas.
“Ah ha…” Jas was genuinely surprised; he hadn’t expected Helen, a policewoman, to enjoy sleeping naked, which was sowhat similar to Emily Jenkins, the flight attendant.
“Don’t laugh!” Helen turned her head and glared fiercely at Jas.
“I’m not laughing, hey, sleeping naked isn’t a bad habit.
During the day, everyone is bound by various restrictions.
When sleeping, it’s ti to relax completely, and of course, it’s about being comfortable, hehe.
So, when we go et your parents, are we going to sleep together?”
Just as Helen was about to blow up, she realized this was actually an unavoidable issue, clenched her teeth and said, “Of course we’ll sleep together, we are getting married, how can we not sleep together.”
“So you…” Jas’s gaze road over Helen’s body with ill intentions.
“Dream on, I won’t be sleeping naked, and don’t you think about taking any advantages.”
Jas imdiately pursed his lips and said, “Not even a small advantage?
Then what’s this about spending a lifeti with , isn’t that nonsense?”
Helen was at a loss for words and finally, through gritted teeth, said, “I said spending a lifeti with you is if your girlfriend cannot accept it.
If your girlfriend can accept it, why would I still spend a lifeti with you?”
Jas put on a serious face and said, “I’m not just joking with you, I’m being serious.
Since we are getting married, so intimate gestures are inevitable, and if you get mad then…”
Helen hesitated for a mont, then bit her lower lip hard and said, “Alright, as long as we don’t do ‘that’, everything else shouldn’t be a problem.”
