361: Chapter 368 lody Yoody’s Heartbreak 361: Chapter 368 lody Yoody’s Heartbreak “But that day we didn’t actually have sex, so you don’t have to take responsibility for ; you don’t really have to marry .”
Jas Brown placed his hand on Gina Lopez’s leg and gently rubbed it as he said, “I won’t deny that if that hadn’t happened that day, I wouldn’t still be maintaining this marriage with you.”
Gina Lopez’s face suddenly looked quite unpleasant.
“But this is not a problem of feelings between us.
I’m just unsure about my own feelings, and then there’s lody Yoody and Emma Campbell, these are issues I can’t escape.
To be your husband, I need to have the mindset of a husband, but indeed it was too rushed; I need so ti.”
“So what you an is, you also…
liked before?” Gina Lopez asked nervously, and at this mont, she didn’t resemble a CEO but rather was like a girl fretting over gains and losses.
“Previously, I hadn’t realized.
I felt that we were only friends, not truly in love.
But after I opened my heart to you yesterday, I began to really like you.
This feeling, I didn’t even know when it started, I just never confronted it.”
Gina’s heart sweetened, and she grasped Jas Brown’s hand.
Jas Brown clasped back Gina Lopez’s hand and said, “So this ti that we had sex and truly beca husband and wife, I don’t regret it at all.
My only feeling is that it was too rushed; I didn’t handle the relationships around well, and for that, I feel sowhat sorry to you.”
Gina Lopez imdiately said, “It’s okay, no hurry; I know you are a sentintal person.
If you broke up with them imdiately for my sake, that would actually be too cruel.”
Jas Brown revealed a bright smile and said, “With your words, I feel relieved.”
“But you can’t take too long, I’m your wife now.”
“Yes, my dear wife, I’ll handle it well,” Jas Brown said cheerfully, though his heart still had no foundation, and he was also sowhat conflicted.
If he wanted to be a truly good husband, it seed like he should cut off relations with his forr won, but he couldn’t bear to part from Emma Campbell, and lody Yoody, the many years of feelings between them were equally hard to forsake.
“Husband, don’t struggle too much, I was just joking.
I won’t pressure you; take your ti, I believe in you.”
Gina Lopez’s gentle words eased Jas Brown a little, but he felt even more guilty towards her.
When they reached the company parking lot, Gina Lopez hesitated a bit and then said apologetically to Jas Brown, “Husband, there’s another matter I want to discuss with you.”
“Hmm, is it about not disclosing our relationship publicly at the company?”
“Yes!
I’m sorry, I…”
Jas Brown cut off Gina Lopez’s words and softly said, “I understand; the spouse dynamic might lead employees to have so thoughts.
It’s normal not to ntion it, rest assured, I won’t hold you back.”
Gina Lopez’s grateful lips quivered, and then she leaned forward, kissed Jas Brown on the cheek, and said, “Husband, thank you.”
“Alright, let’s get out of the car; this is the company, would be troubleso if others saw this.”
Gina Lopez playfully smiled, saying “Then I’ll head up,” before she opened the door and got out of the car.
At this mont, Gina truly felt the joy of a newlywed woman, far from her usual authoritative deanor at the company, her charm utterly captivating.
After Gina Lopez went up, Jas Brown smoked a cigarette before heading into the company.
After a busy spell, Jas Brown had nothing more to do, sitting on the office sofa reflecting on the day’s events, feeling it had all been absurd.
Emily Lopez, his sister-in-law, was really sothing; nobody would expect her to do such a thing.
A breeze blew, the crisp sound of wind chis ringing in his ears, and Jas Brown turned to look at the wind chis at the window, reminded again of Sarah Utah.
Recently, Sarah Utah had seldom co to see him, knowing he had married Gina Lopez, and the girl had started to keep her distance.
But watching the wind chis, Jas Brown thought of the needle marks on Sarah’s hand, and couldn’t quite describe his feelings.
But perhaps this was for the better, to prevent Sarah from falling deeper and ending up more hurt; after so ti, she might co to accept it.
After lunch, Jas Brown called lody Yoody to visit her factory departnt, and she readily agreed.
Jas Brown didn’t go alone this ti; a few colleagues from the company were with him, as this was official business, naturally not sothing to do by oneself.
On lody Yoody’s side, she wasn’t alone either; several local officials were present.
Construction at the factory had already started with lody Yoody, the Mayor’s, full support; the city also didn’t drag their heels, so the land approval was easily secured, only the relocation compensation was slightly troubleso, but the compensation was sufficiently generous, so it was easily settled as well.
Building the factory was now essentially the job of Jas Brown and his colleagues; lody Yoody and her team’s accompanint was just to emphasize the importance placed on this factory.
It was estimated that the factory would take at least two more months before production could comnce.
After inspecting the progress, Jas Brown and his team prepared to leave.
lody Yoody smiled at Jas Brown and said, “Old classmate, now that official business is done, let’s handle so personal matter this afternoon, is that okay?”
Jas Brown smiled and said, “No problem.”
The two of them were so open and straightforward, and nobody else thought much of it since they both were old classmates anyway.
Then, lody Yoody got into Jas Brown’s car.
“Jas, accompany to the orphanage today.”
Jas Brown didn’t expect lody Yoody to make such a request and, puzzled, said, “Why go there?”
“The children at the orphanage are quite pitiful, and I visit them occasionally.”
Jas Brown truly had never engaged in such charitable acts and said, “Well, okay, I’ll go and see.”
There’s only one orphanage in YODC City, located in the city center, and Jas Brown and lody Yoody soon arrived there.
There were many children in the orphanage, mostly abandoned, and so with physical illnesses.
lody Yoody played gas with the kids, told stories, and even donated so money, showing a maternal tenderness unlike her usual fierce efficiency.
When the two of them ca out, Jas Brown couldn’t help but say with a smile, “If you ever have children, you’d definitely make a good mother.”
lody Yoody looked into Jas Brown’s eyes and said, “Why don’t we have one then?”
“This…
ahem…
lody…” Jas Brown coughed twice, not knowing how to respond to her suggestion.
lody Yoody frowned slightly and asked, “Don’t you like kids?”
“It’s not that I don’t like children, it’s just…”
“Just what?” lody Yoody stared into Jas Brown’s eyes.
Jas Brown smiled awkwardly, sighed, and finally said, “I’ve already registered for marriage with Gina…”
lody Yoody’s face turned instantly pale; she bit her lip hard, draining it of any color.
“lody…
I’m sorry!” Seeing lody Yoody like this, Jas Brown felt terribly heartbroken.
This stubborn girl had been with him since high school, never looking down on him, waiting for him all these years.
Yet he hadn’t married her, which filled him with imnse guilt.
He wanted to say sothing comforting to lody Yoody, but couldn’t find the right words, and finally could only utter “I’m sorry,” the most lodramatic of words.
lody Yoody closed her eyes briefly, her lips trembling slightly, and then finally stopped biting her lip harshly.
She suddenly revealed a radiant smile and said, “Then I should bless you.”
Jas Brown knew lody Yoody too well.
Her acting this way ant she was deeply hurt.
But what could he do now?
Divorce Gina to be with lody Yoody?
That would hurt Gina.
In the end, he could only sigh and say, “Thank you.”
lody Yoody flipped her head, punched Jas Brown in the chest and angrily said, “You jerk, you got married and didn’t even tell sooner, you’re really not a good friend.
When are you planning the wedding?
I need to notify our classmates so we can properly make a scene at your wedding.”
Jas Brown felt even more pained but could only say, “Let’s talk about it later.”
“You’ve got the certificate, you should have the wedding soon, right?
A wedding is sothing girls look forward to all their lives, how can you be so nonchalant about it…ugh…” While smiling, lody Yoody suddenly retched, bending over and holding her stomach.
Jas Brown, feeling guilty, quickly supported lody Yoody and asked, “What’s with the vomiting again, didn’t you have a check-up yesterday?”
lody Yoody crouched on the ground, retching multiple tis and vomiting so acid, then slowly stood up, waving her hand, “It’s nothing, just… stomach’s a bit upset, ugh…” She began to retch again.
Jas Brown carefully patted lody Yoody’s back, saying, “Stomach upset, have you taken any dicine?
You can’t go on vomiting like this.”
lody Yoody finally eased up a bit, and while Jas Brown was holding her, he asked, “Is it the wrong dicine?
Should I take you to the hospital again?”
“No need!” lody Yoody suddenly brushed off Jas Brown’s hand and yelled, “What does it have to do with you?
You’re soone else’s husband now, why care about ?
I’ll do whatever I want, you don’t need to worry.”
After saying that, she ran to the roadside, stopped a taxi, and got in.
Jas Brown could easily catch up with lody Yoody, but he knew very well that she definitely couldn’t accept the fact of his marriage.
How could her heart be at ease?
Even if he chased her now, it would only make lody Yoody feel worse.
It was better to let her cool down first, then talk to her properly later.
