367: Chapter 374: To Quit or Not to Quit 367: Chapter 374: To Quit or Not to Quit When Jas Brown got ho, Gina Lopez hadn’t gone to bed yet.
With concern, she said, “I feel so bad for making you travel such a distance so late at night, I’m really sorry.” On the way there, Gina Lopez had already called Jas Brown and he ntioned that it’s not easy to buy that dicine at this hour.
So when Jas Brown arrived ho late, he didn’t worry about it.
“When my wife commands, how dare I not obey?” Jas Brown said with a chuckle as he poured Gina Lopez a glass of water and had her take the birth control pill.
There was absolutely no need to ntion the danger Helen Wilson had encountered to Gina Lopez.
Having taken the pill, Gina Lopez felt a sense of relief and said, “Let’s hurry and get so sleep then.”
After washing his face, Jas Brown went straight to bed.
Gina Lopez snuggled up to him in his arms voluntarily.
After being intimate for two consecutive days, Gina Lopez naturally acted less reserved in front of Jas Brown, becoming more open and close to him.
That night, Jas Brown and Gina Lopez did not do anything else but cuddle in their sleep.
Jas Brown killed William Power because he felt that William Power was trouble and a potential danger.
He wasn’t afraid of these people, but Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez, as well as Emma Campbell, were afraid, and Helen Wilson was an easy target for them.
Therefore, Jas Brown straightforwardly eliminated him and his henchn.
If it were an ordinary person, killing soone would definitely cause a lot of psychological pressure, or at the very least, fear of being implicated and legally responsible.
However, Jas Brown felt none of this burden.
During his ti with Hawk Squad carrying out missions, he had killed more people than he could rember, just like when he protected Linda Campbell, single-handedly taking down dozens of enemies.
So, for him, killing a few people was all too commonplace.
Even though he was now a civilian and retired from Hawk Squad, he still retained so special privileges from Hawk Squad.
It’s just that he usually didn’t like to use them.
Moreover, if he wanted to, he could rejoin Hawk Squad anyti he wished.
Ordinary rules and fraworks simply did not apply to him.
Even though the trouble with William Power had been resolved, the sudden arrival of Christopher Taylor here still caused Jas Brown so concern.
The man had not directly troubled him the day before, but Jas Brown didn’t believe Christopher Taylor was scared of him.
Those from big families couldn’t easily swallow their pride; they’d learned to be patient.
A person who’s learned patience, backed by a powerful family, can be very frightening and troubleso indeed.
So when Jas Brown got up in the morning, he first dropped Gina Lopez off at her company and then took Emily Lopez to her workplace.
“Hehe, now you’re really starting to act like a true brother-in-law to ,” Emily Lopez teased Jas Brown with a giggle, leaning on the back of his seat after Gina Lopez got off.
Jas Brown laughed, “How does taking you to work make a true brother-in-law?”
Emily Lopez twirled a lock of Jas Brown’s hair lightly with her finger and said, “It’s not about whether or not you take to work.
It’s that you’ve obviously started to care about more than before.
A fake brother-in-law wouldn’t bother with .”
Jas Brown felt both gratified and a bit awkward about Emily Lopez’s affectionate attitude and said, “Sandra, let tell you sothing.
Don’t go out with others recently, I’ll try to pick you up from work when I can.
If I don’t have ti, you should go straight ho.”
“Are you worried about that Christopher Taylor?” Emily Lopez’s hand playfully flicked Jas Brown’s head at that mont.
Jas Brown waved his hand, swatting away Emily Lopez’s hand, “Stop ssing around, I’m serious.
Christopher Taylor has indeed beco more cunning.
I’m not afraid of him, but it would be quite easy for him to cross you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that easily fooled.
I won’t go out with them.
Besides, now that my brother-in-law is staying with my sister and every day, I can’t wait to go ho.
Why would I want to run out?”
Jas Brown suddenly found himself feeling awkward again, not knowing how to respond.
Emily Lopez’s words always seed to have an alluring undertone.
Yet, strangely, Emily Lopez fully supported his marriage with Gina Lopez and seed very excited about it.
He really didn’t know what his sister-in-law was thinking.
Luckily, they had arrived at Emily Lopez’s workplace.
Jas Brown hurriedly said, “Alright, hurry up to work now, and rember what I said.
Also, don’t run outside during the day.”
“Got it, my good brother-in-law,” Emily Lopez laughed, opened the car door, and ran into the building like a happy little bird.
Jas Brown shook his head.
Turning into a true husband with Gina Lopez made him and Gina happy, but to his surprise, it was Emily Lopez, the little sister-in-law, who seed the happiest about it.
It was quite incomprehensible.
Back at the company, David Clark, the chubby guy, rushed into Jas Brown’s office, excitedly saying, “Manager Johnson, are we going to recruit again?”
Jas Brown nodded and said, “Yes, you can go check out the job market today.”
David Clark blinked, “Then why don’t we hire that beauty?”
Jas Brown couldn’t help but smile; this chubby guy still hadn’t forgotten Lucy Campbell.
He laughed, “I don’t even know how to contact her now, how can we hire her?
Besides, it’s been a long ti, do you know if she has found a job already?”
David Clark looked at Jas Brown in disbelief, “No way, there should be a record when our company recruits people.
We should have her phone number.”
Jas Brown snorted, “She ca to the company for an interview in an irregular manner, so no phone number was left.”
David Clark suddenly looked depressed and said, “Manager Johnson, how could you do this?
She’s the goddess of my heart, how could you not even keep her number?
Even if you don’t want her, you should leave sothing for us to dream about.”
Jas Brown glared at him, “Are you here to work?
Or to pick up girls?”
David Clark imdiately shrank back, intimidated.
Normally, Jas Brown didn’t put on airs, and he got along quite well with him, so he spoke very informally.
But when Jas Brown really glared, David Clark couldn’t help but be afraid, and with a nervous laugh, he said, “Haven’t I always been diligent at my job?”
Jas Brown glared at him again, “Then go recruit people now.”
Just after David Clark left, Jas Brown unexpectedly received a call from Lucy Campbell, which made him feel amused.
If chubby David Clark knew this, he would probably be turning blue with envy.
“Miss Johnson, what made you think to call today?”
“Why are you calling Miss Johnson again?
Didn’t we agree that you would call Lucy?” Lucy Campbell didn’t get straight to the point but corrected Jas Brown on the form of address first.
“Hehe, I forgot, Lucy, you’re not busy today?”
“It’s pretty busy, but I was thinking it’s been so long since I went back.
I wasn’t sure if you had run out of cigarettes.
If you had, I could have soone send you so.”
“This…
better not for now, I’m planning to quit smoking for a while.”
“Quitting smoking?
Why?” Lucy Campbell was a bit surprised.
“Well…
I’m planning to have kids.”
“Having kids?
You got married?” Lucy Campbell suddenly exclaid in shock.
“Yeah, with Gina.” Jas Brown didn’t hide it; after all, Lucy Campbell is the chairman of the company, and both Gina Lopez and he worked for Lucy Campbell; there was no need to conceal it.
“How did you two get married so quickly?” Lucy Campbell asked with an inexplicable tone.
“Hehe, it’s actually quite unexpected.
When you co back, you can ask Gina about it.
Getting married, we wanted to have a child soon, and smoking is not good for the child, so I decided to quit.”
Lucy Campbell fell silent for a mont, and then laughed, “Then I really should congratulate you.
Hehe, I’ll co over in a few days to celebrate properly for you two.”
“You don’t have to go to all that trouble.
We didn’t have any wedding ceremony, just registered our marriage.”
“Oh, that’s low-key of you.
I was just about to scold you for not inviting to your wedding banquet.”
“We’ll invite you when we have it in the future, but for now, let’s keep it low-key.”
“Mm, okay, then I’ll hang up first, I’ll give Gina a call.”
At noon, Jas Brown went to Gina Lopez’s office.
Being newlyweds, indeed, Jas Brown’s mindset had changed, as he had never taken the initiative to see Gina Lopez before.
After closing the door, Gina Lopez and Jas Brown sat on the sofa, with Gina Lopez imdiately expressing so complaints: “Why did you tell Mr.
Smith about our marriage, and even that we’re planning to have children?”
Jas Brown took out a cigarette but then put it back, saying, “What’s there to hide about it?
I feel it’s not right to keep it from her.”
“It’s one thing to ntion the marriage, but why did you say we’re planning to have kids?
I’m not ready to have children right now.”
“You don’t want to?” Jas Brown stared at Gina Lopez in astonishnt.
Gina Lopez grabbed Jas Brown’s hand, apologizing, “Honey, listen to , it’s not that I don’t like children, or that I’m afraid of pregnancy, but think about it, Mr.
Smith entrusted the company to , and it’s just starting.
If I get pregnant, it’ll definitely affect my work, and when it’s ti to give birth, I’ll need to take a long leave.
The company can’t function without right now.”
“This…it’s not because Lucy is making this demand, right?” Jas Brown frowned slightly.
“Mr.
Smith didn’t say that at all.
She even encourages .
She said she’d rather slow down the company’s progress than affect my childbirth.
She trusts so much, how could I let her down?
So I need to wait until the company is on the right track before I can have a child.”
Jas Brown lit a cigarette, saying, “Then it looks like I don’t have to quit smoking for the ti being.”
Gina Lopez quickly snatched the cigarette from Jas Brown, saying, “Well, quitting is good too, keeps you healthy.”
Jas Brown snatched the cigarette back, saying, “I know quitting is good for health, but if it weren’t for our child, I’m not quitting.
It’s my only hobby; don’t take it away from .”
This ti Gina Lopez didn’t snatch it back.
After all, Jas Brown really didn’t have any particularly bad habits.
He wasn’t that into drinking or clubbing, so she shouldn’t be too critical.
Besides, she didn’t dislike the faint sll of tobacco on him now.
“Alright then, you can smoke, but I’m setting the rule: not too much per day.”
“Got it.
This is the premium Panda brand that Lucy brought back.
Our Great Man Jones lived over ninety years smoking these.”
“You always have your reasons.
Look, Mr.
Smith is so good to us, how could we not help her?
So about having kids, you mustn’t hold any grudges.”
It was just that Jas Brown felt quite pressured because Lucy Campbell was too good to him.
