347: Chapter 351: Strategic Alliance 347: Chapter 351: Strategic Alliance “Family…” Jas Brown sighed softly.
Emily Lopez giggled and said, “Hey brother-in-law, you’ve already gone through with it and even got the marriage license with sis.
How can you still not feel like you’re family?”
Jas Brown gave a bitter smile and replied, “Emily, I won’t lie to you.
I truly don’t have that kind of feeling with your sister.
Even now, I don’t feel married, nor do I see your sister as my wife.
Suddenly becoming family like this, I’m really not comfortable with it.”
Emily Lopez turned her head and leaned her chin on Jas’s shoulder, her breath, with a faint fragrance, blowing on Jas’s face, carrying a warm scent, and she said with a smile, “Husband and wife, right?
Just get intimate, and you’ll get used to each other.”
At this point, Emily Lopez had a strange smile on her face, but because she was so close to Jas’s face, he felt embarrassed to turn his head to face her, so he did not see that odd smile.
Jas could feel the sweet scent of breath from Emily, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit intoxicated.
Being with Emily always gave him a sense of guilt, but it was this guilt that often excited n the most, and Jas was no exception.
However, he still shook his head, using it as an excuse to move his face a little further away and said, “It’s not that easy.
Sigh, I always feel like I’m being pushed into this, marrying your sister in such a muddle, and even becoming intimate with her.”
“Co on, brother-in-law, can you stop being so conflicted?
Even with all that, you’re still married to my sister, right?
So why not open your heart and get along with her?”
“I know that would be the best, but…
I’m just not ready emotionally, you know.
I still have my first love, and there’s Emma.
I don’t even know how to explain to them right now.”
“What’s so hard to explain?
Let handle it for you.
When it cos to feelings, you’ve got to be decisive, just cut the Gordian knot.
A short pain is better than prolonged agony.”
Jas had thought of this too, but he could never cut ties with Emma no matter what.
Emma, that gentle girl, had already sacrificed so much for him.
Even if he couldn’t truly marry her, he at least should take care of her for the rest of her life.
As for lody Yoody, his first love, she was not soone who would admit defeat easily.
Even if Jas was married, she would definitely not let go that easily, and how could Jas possibly harden his heart against her?
Those beautiful mories from high school, her unwavering affection for him.
Emily Lopez then said with a cheeky grin, “Alright, alright, I know you’re in a tough spot.
Just take your ti.
Eventually, you’ll feel that my sister is the best match for you.
And who else has such a great little aunt like ?
It’s a buy-one-get-one-free deal for you.
You’re making a killing.”
Jas turned his head to look at Emily Lopez, who was winking at him with a mischievous smile, making his heart flutter.
Emily had grown too close to him these days, it really did feel like a buy-one-get-one-free situation.
The thought of being with the twins made Jas’s heart stir; it was indeed very tempting.
“Ahem…” Jas coughed twice and said, “Emily, let’s not joke about this anymore.
I need to go out now; there are so things I need to do.”
“I’ll go with you,” Emily Lopez clung tighter to Jas’s arm.
“That’s…
not very convenient.”
Emily Lopez let go of Jas’s arm and pouted, saying, “Cut it out, you’re just going to see your old flas, aren’t you?
Go on then, go.
I’m not that petty, and don’t worry, I won’t tell my sister.”
Jas quickly slipped out of Gina Lopez’s house, though it seed like this place was also his ho now.
But once outside, he felt that he really shouldn’t be going anywhere else.
At that ti, Gina Lopez was in the office, seriously catching up on work she had missed in the past two days.
When she finished her tasks and allowed herself a mont of relaxation, she couldn’t help but think about her relationship with Jas.
Due to her mother’s illness, she married Jas without a second thought.
However, who would have known that the illness was a sham, all just to get her to marry Jas?
This made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she couldn’t marry anyone else unless she forced Jas to marry her.
Gina found this very hard to accept.
She admitted that she now had feelings for Jas, but certainly not to the extent that she wouldn’t marry anyone else.
She didn’t want a marriage like this.
But last night, she even beca intimate with Jas, which genuinely tangled her feelings.
She pretended to not care when talking to Jas, but her heart truly did.
She had given her virginity to Jas without even feeling anything.
If she were to divorce Jas and find another man to marry, she would feel equally uncomfortable.
Spend a lifeti with Jas?
Gina Lopez wasn’t sure if that was what she should do.
“What’s wrong?” A hand rested on Gina’s shoulder, and she jerked her head up, only to see Sunny Nguyen, which made her smile apologetically and say, “I was thinking about sothing and didn’t notice you coming in.”
Sunny spoke softly, “You were so engrossed in your thoughts.
I knocked, but you didn’t hear .
I ca in and called you a few tis, but you didn’t respond.
Is there sothing troubling you?
Can you talk to about it?”
Gina hesitated for a mont before getting up and pulling Sunny to the sofa.
She started with a wry smile, “I really don’t know what is the best thing to do now.”
“Is it about Jas?” Sunny imdiately asked with a smiling face.
“Yes.” Gina’s face turned red as she bit her lip and said, “My mom isn’t really sick.
She lied to Jas and , just so we would get married.”
Sunny Nguyen suddenly widened her eyes, then chuckled and said, “Your mom really is set on Jas, to even resort to such a thod.”
“I have no idea why they think so highly of this guy, I just can’t see what’s so good about him.” Gina Lopez sounded sowhat exasperated.
“Hehe, if Jas were no good, why on earth would you have ever wanted to marry him?”
“Back then it was for my sister, okay?
Who knew this girl was deliberately provoking , just to make end up with Jas?”
“Ha…
Sandra really is amusing, having a sister like her should really make you feel blessed.”
“But now that I am married to Jas, I really can’t get used to it.”
“What, Jas doesn’t agree?
He wants to divorce you now?”
“Ah…
if it weren’t for last night, I guess…
we would have really divorced.”
“What happened last night?” Sunny guessed what had happened, but still asked.
Gina’s face flushed with embarrassnt, but Sunny was now her confidante who she shared everything with, and keeping this bottled up inside was truly unbearable.
She had to talk to soone about it or she might go crazy, so she said with a red face, “Last night everyone was quite happy, then we drank a bit too much, and the result…
we foolishly…
got intimate.”
Sunny imdiately chuckled and said, “As expected, now that the marriage is settled and the deed is done, you two should just live happily.”
After opening up, Gina also beca more forthright.
Since Sunny always used to do that sort of thing with Jas Brown, nobody would laugh at anyone.
She said, “I don’t know how to face him, I really don’t understand what he’s thinking.
Sunny, could you ask him for ?”
“ ask him?” Sunny pointed to her own nose and said, “Why should I get involved in you two lovebirds’ affairs?”
Gina quickly grabbed Sunny’s hand, pleading, “Haven’t you promised that even if I married Jas Brown, you wouldn’t leave ?
Invite him over to your place tonight, then you can ask him properly.
I think he might tell you.”
“You’re married to Jas now, and you still want…
Jas…
to co over to mine?” Sunny widened her eyes in surprise.
Though they had talked about this before, Gina was unmarried at that ti, and as soone with experience, Sunny always thought Gina was joking, or if it was a genuine offer at that ti, certainly after getting married, her thoughts would have changed.
Yet, who would have guessed Gina would still want her to be with Jas Brown now?
Sunny couldn’t believe her own ears.
Gina nodded again and again, “Yes, yes, a promise is a promise.
And as your sister, if you’re with him, you can help .
Plus, I know he’s still not cut ties with soone else, so I really need help.
Otherwise, by myself, I truly have no confidence at all.”
“Haven’t you always been confident?
Why do you lack confidence now?” Sunny looked at Gina in surprise.
Gina gave a wry smile and said, “Managing the company, I’m full of confidence.
But when it cos to love, marriage, I just don’t have any confidence at all.
The main thing is, I don’t even know what to do now.”
“But…
you know what happens if Jas cos to my place, right?”
Gina spat at Sunny, “I’m not an idiot, how could I not know?”
Sunny looked into Gina’s eyes and slowly said, “And you’re really okay with that?
Jas is your husband now, it’s not like before.”
Gina paused for a mont, then thought carefully and replied, “If it were soone else, I might feel uncomfortable, but with you…
I really don’t feel that way.”
At that mont, Sunny felt an inexplicable joy.
She had no illusions about marrying Jas Brown, and had thought about leading an independent life, but she was quite enamored with Jas.
As a woman who had been married before, she understood that after marriage, a man typically calms down, and her relationship with Jas would probably have to cease.
But now that Jas was married, and Gina, Jas Brown’s wife, was actually offering for her to be with him, wouldn’t their relationship beco completely legitimate, leaving her with no more guilt?
“Sister Sunny, are you going to help or not?” Gina pushed further.
Sunny finally smiled and nodded her head.
This was such a good deal, how could she refuse?
