345: Chapter 352: To Leave or Not to Leave 345: Chapter 352: To Leave or Not to Leave In front of Gina Lopez, Jas Brown put on his clothes, turned his head to look at Gina, Jas wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he just shook his head and walked out of the bedroom.
Having lived with Gina for so long without their relationship escalating, it was sowhat ironic that he ended up being intimate with Gina just as he was about to be free from their entanglent.
After freshening up, he ca out of the bathroom and saw Emily Lopez.
Emily said to Jas with a grin, “Brother-in-law, did you sleep well last night?”
Jas smiled and replied, “Of course, I slept great.
I’ve been worried about mom’s illness these days, and now that there’s nothing wrong, I finally had a good night’s sleep.”
Emily squinted her eyes and looked at Jas, “You’re really dutiful, brother-in-law.
If my mom heard this, she’d surely be moved to tears.”
Laughter from Mrs.
Lopez, Emily’s mother, ca from behind them, “Indeed, Jas has been more filial than both of you put together.
Humph, I really raised you two for nothing all these years.”
Turning around, Emily took Mrs.
Lopez’s arm and said cheerfully, “Yeah, brother-in-law is great.
With him here, my sister and I can finally be free.”
“What freedom?
Didn’t you say you found a boyfriend?
Hurry up and bring him over for to see.
Now that your sister’s affairs are settled, I still have to worry about you.”
Emily suddenly exclaid, “Ah, Mom, you really kick away the ladder after crossing the river, don’t you?
I’ve just…just settled my sister’s matters, and you’re already rushing .”
Mrs.
Lopez cleared her throat and said, “Now that your sister is settled, naturally, it’s your turn.”
Jas felt as if Emily was about to say sothing just now but then she changed her words, and it seed sohow related to him.
Moreover, they both clearly knew about his and Gina’s relationship, but now that the illness was gone, it seed like the mother and daughter had completely forgotten that Jas and Gina were together because of the illness.
At this mont, Gina ca out and upon seeing her mother and sister, her expression instantly beca a bit unnatural.
Emily imdiately went up to her with a grin and said, “Gina, you seem a bit different from usual today.”
Gina felt suddenly panicked, but she composed herself and said, “Of course, it’s different, isn’t mom’s illness cured?”
Emily tilted her head and looked at Gina, “No, it’s not that you’re happy, you seem a bit awkward.
You didn’t do sothing bad, did you?”
Gina felt even more panicked and coughed dryly, “There’s no such thing.
What bad thing could I possibly do?
Excuse , I need to wash my face.” After saying that, she pushed past Emily and went towards the bathroom.
Then Emily called out from behind, “Hey, Mom, don’t you think my sister is walking a bit awkwardly today?”
Mrs.
Lopez nodded and said, “Is she?
I didn’t notice.”
“Definitely.
I just feel my sister is uncomfortable walking.
Sister, you don’t have any discomfort in your legs, do you?
Have brother-in-law take you for a check-up.”
Gina didn’t actually feel any discomfort while walking, but having read so books on physiology, she knew that won might feel a bit uncomfortable after their first ti.
So, with Emily’s comnts, Gina suddenly felt as if her walk was indeed different from before, which made her even more nervous.
“There’s nothing wrong.
Don’t talk nonsense.” She quickly entered the bathroom and shut the door.
At this point, Mrs.
Lopez nodded and said, “It does seem like she’s a bit uneasy walking.”
“Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with my sister?” Emily blinked her big eyes at Jas.
Mrs.
Lopez also looked at Jas at that mont, which made Jas feel extrely awkward.
He obviously knew why Gina was acting this way, but he couldn’t voice it.
Clearing his throat, he said, “It’s nothing, just a little twist.”
“Well, that’s good to hear.” Emily winked at Jas again, her smile sowhat aningful.
Jas felt Emily must have realized what had happened and that she was doing this on purpose to make him and Gina feel awkward.
But since it had already happened and could not be hidden, if she had figured it out, then so be it.
Now that Mrs.
Lopez was well, Jas and Gina finished breakfast and prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, Mrs.
Lopez and Jonathan Lopez called the two to the living room, while Emily sat beside her mother with a smiling face, watching them.
Mrs.
Lopez then fixed her gaze on Jas and said softly, “Jas, what do you think of our Gina?”
Jas felt uncomfortable under Mother Lopez’s scrutiny, already guessing what she ant to say, “Gina is a good woman, she’s beautiful, and she’s also very competent.”
Mrs.
Lopez nodded and said, “I know the two of you got married because of .
Now that I’m not ill anymore, I don’t know if you two can still be together.
Can you be frank with , whether you’ll leave Gina now that I’m well?”
Jas Brown hadn’t answered yet when Gina Lopez broke in, saying: “Mom, you don’t have to worry about our business, we will handle it well.”
Mrs.
Lopez imdiately glared and said: “You can handle it well?
If you could handle it, I wouldn’t have had to fake sickness to make you get married!”
“Ah?” Gina Lopez and Jas Brown’s eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Mrs.
Lopez.
Only then did Mrs.
Lopez realize that, in her agitation, she had slipped up, and her face beca full of embarrassnt, while Jonathan Lopez at this mont could only offer a wry smile and shake his head, saying: “I told you not to do this, but you insisted on it.
You can’t keep your mouth shut, can you?
Jas, if you want to bla anyone, bla us.
Indeed, we lied to you on purpose.
It’s because we really think you are a great kid but there was no progress with Gina, so we ca up with this idea.”
At this point, Jas Brown really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He never imagined it was all a hoax, but the hoax didn’t actually make him feel any resentnt.
He gave a wry smile and said: “Mom, Dad, you guys are…
really taking pains.”
Gina, however, was a bit angry.
She stamped her foot and said: “Really!
Do you know how many things I have to deal with in my company?
How many things have I missed because of your ddling?”
Mrs.
Lopez’s eyes sharpened as she retorted: “I lied to you two, so what?
I’m just worried about you, aren’t I?
Both of you are 26 and not in a hurry to get married.
When do you plan to do it?
Do I really have to get sick before you think about marrying and having children?”
Those words left Gina speechless.
Suddenly, she saw Emily Lopez covering her mouth and giggling secretly, and imdiately turned her ire towards Emily, saying angrily: “Was it your idea, wasn’t it?”
Emily Lopez tilted her head back and replied: “Yes, it was my idea, what about it?”
Mrs.
Lopez waved her hand and said: “We admit our mistake, but now give us an answer, are you two going to be together or not?
Don’t keep guessing.”
“Yes!”
“No!”
Both Gina Lopez and Jas Brown spoke at the sa ti, but their answers were diatrically opposed.
Jas Brown gave an affirmative answer, while Gina Lopez gave a negative one.
Hearing their contrary responses, Gina’s parents and Emily were all sowhat surprised.
Logically speaking, it was Jas Brown who was coerced into this situation, and according to Emily’s recounting, Gina was also interested in Jas Brown, but it was always Jas who didn’t agree.
So the one who should be disagreeing ought to be Jas, but why was it Gina now?
After exchanging glances with Jas Brown, Gina imdiately said: “Since mom is not sick, then our marriage agreent naturally doesn’t count anymore.
How could we possibly live together?”
Jas Brown shook his head and said, “We…”
Gina quickly cut off Jas’s words and said: “I said we can’t be together, so we can’t.
You don’t have to persuade .
We will proceed with the divorce procedures when we get back.”
At this ti, Mrs.
Lopez suddenly beca annoyed, slapped the sofa and shouted: “Gina Lopez, are you trying to anger to death?
Jas now wants to live a good life with you, and you don’t want to?
As a woman, are you so eager to have a second marriage before anything else?
If you keep this up, I think I will be driven to illness even without being sick.” At the end, she couldn’t help coughing, not pretending this ti, as her pneumonia was not yet fully resolved, and she got so angry and anxious that she couldn’t catch her breath, turning her face bright red.
Gina was startled and hurriedly went over to rub her mother’s chest, saying, “Mom, don’t be angry, ah.
I was forcing him to do this.
How can he be happy living with while keeping resentnt in his heart?”
“Why can’t it be happy?
With ti, feelings between n and won will grow.
Jas, I’m asking you, did you really an what you said just now?”
If it had been yesterday, Jas Brown would have imdiately insisted on splitting up with Gina Lopez, but after what happened last night, he now found himself unable to say so.
Looking at Gina, he said, “Gina, let’s try to be together.
Like mom said, if we separate now, you’ll have rushed into a second marriage for no reason.”
Hearing her mother getting really angry, Gina finally nodded and agreed: “All right, let’s give it a try.”
Mrs.
Lopez then smiled with relief and said: “That’s better.
A couple’s feelings are cultivated.
Just live together and things will work out.”
Jonathan Lopez sighed and said, “Jas, this is a matter for life.
We’ve tricked you once and can’t force you any longer.
If you can get along with Gina, we’ll be happy.
But if you can’t sh well together, and decide to split up later, we will also support you.”
Emily jumped up and exclaid: “Don’t worry, the two of them can’t just casually part now.
The raw rice has already been cooked into finished rice.
After a while, there will be a baby, and then they definitely can’t separate.”
Gina felt extrely embarrassed about the raw rice becoming cooked rice in such a muddled way; she really wasn’t used to this.
anwhile, Mother Lopez laughed, saying: “Yes, yes, have a child soon, having one sooner is better.”
At that mont, Gina rembered sothing.
She was not in her safe period, and even though things were muddled last night, she really didn’t want to accidentally get pregnant now.
She was at a loss for what she would do.
At this point, Jas Brown could only reply with a dry laugh, realizing that now he truly was a married man.
Emma Campbell wasn’t a big issue, but explaining this to lody Yoody, that was going to be impossibly difficult.
