—
In the course of the entire day, Lucy Campbell didn’t try to persuade Jas Brown of anything, nor did she offer him any advice.
Jas’s love life was such a ss now that even she felt a headache coming on.
By staying neutral and not offering advice, she kept herself out of it temporarily.
She didn’t want Jas to think, should they ever end up together, that she had ddled and destroyed his relationships with other won.
Lucy simply fulfilled her duties as a secretary—pouring him so water, discussing work topics, or casually chatting with him a bit to help him relax and not feel so overwheld.
At lunchti, Gina Lopez didn’t show up at the cafeteria.
When Jas called her, Gina just said she had eaten sothing in her office and didn’t feel like coming down.
Though her tone didn’t sound angry, Jas could sense a certain distance between them.
Emily Berns’s bullishness hadn’t caused Gina to hold a grudge against Jas, but Emily’s grief was sothing Gina found unbearable.
Jas didn’t try to persuade her further.
This was sothing Gina needed to work through on her own.
Sarah Utah, Sunny Nguyen, Jas, and Lucy were all eating at the sa table.
Sarah really wanted to ask Jas what was going on, but because Sunny was there and this wasn’t the right place to explain, she held back.
Sunny didn’t seem to notice anything was amiss.
She had been busy all morning preparing this month’s financial report and was completely unaware of the storm brewing around Jas.
Recently, she hadn’t been flirting with him much, either.
Even though Gina had once given her permission, Sunny was a woman who understood boundaries.
Since she and Gina were close friends and Jas was now Gina’s husband, she restrained herself for the sake of their friendship and to avoid making things difficult for Jas in the future.
Having been through one failed marriage already, Sunny had much stronger self-control compared to Sarah.
She understood that love wasn’t everything; what truly validated a relationship between a man and a woman was marriage.
Only if a couple could be happy together after marriage would it count as real love.
Otherwise, it was just an emotional ga.
Jas could sense the change in Sunny, and he knew she was doing the right thing.
Maintaining a friendship like this was probably the best outco for both of them.
“Director Green, can you check in on Mr.
Lopez later?
She’s not in a great mood today,” Jas quietly said to Sunny after lunch.
Sunny was montarily surprised and responded softly, “What’s the matter?
Are you two lovebirds having a spat?”
Jas wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
Instead, he awkwardly said, “Just keep her company for .”
“No problem, but let tell you, kid, you’d better not have been caught fooling around again, or I won’t be able to help you.”
Jas gave a bitter smile to himself.
This ti, it wasn’t about cheating, but a child had shown up instead, which was an even bigger problem.
Back in the office, Sarah followed him.
Lucy imdiately smiled and said, “I’ll step out for a bit; you two can talk.” Then she walked straight out.
“Big Brother Brown, what’s going on here?” Sarah asked anxiously as soon as Lucy left, hurrying to sit next to Jas.
Jas lit a cigarette and said, “Emily Berns and I had a ssy relationship once—or maybe not a relationship.
At the ti, I didn’t like her, so I ran away.
Who knew she’d end up pregnant with my child and even gave birth to the baby.”
“What?!
This… this…” Sarah was stunned.
Like Gina, she could accept Jas’s past relationships, but the sudden appearance of a child was too much to digest.
Jas shook his head and chuckled, “Ha, I didn’t even know I’d beco a father.”
“Emily Berns gave birth to your child?
That’s just…” Sarah didn’t know what to say.
She had always been a fan of Emily Berns, believing her to be a virtuous and self-disciplined celebrity.
There had never been any reports about her dating anyone—only rare tabloid rumors that were quickly debunked.
Who could have imagined she’d not only been in a relationship but had also had a child?
Most importantly, the person Emily had a child with turned out to be Sarah’s longti crush.
The conflicting feelings overwheld her.
“Do you think I’ve been too careless in the past?” Jas asked with a smile.
Sarah imdiately shook her head firmly and said, “It’s because you’re too remarkable, Big Brother Brown!
That’s why so many girls want to be with you.
Even —I know you’re married, but I still want to talk to you.”
Jas smirked and said, “Doesn’t that make you a little silly?”
Sarah gave a sweet smile.
“I’m not silly!
When you like soone, you just want them to be happy.
Even if I’m not the one who makes you happy, seeing you happy every day makes happy, too.”
Jas was deeply moved and replied softly, “Sarah, you’re a wonderful girl.
One day, you’ll find a man who loves you wholeheartedly.”
“I hope so.
But with you as the benchmark, I feel like it’ll be hard to find soone even close to your level.”
“What’s so great about ?
I’m neither hardworking nor successful in my career.”
“Career success isn’t the only standard for success, you know.
You’re kind and capable.
Besides, you’re not interested in pursuing so grand career.
If you wanted to, you’d definitely succeed.
But you’re a man who loves a peaceful life, and that kind of man understands how to live.
A woman who ends up with you would surely be very happy.”
As she spoke, Sarah began picturing a life with Jas, her cheeks glowing pink.
She looked so enchanting in that mont.
Jas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The fact that Emily Berns had shown up should’ve made the won in his life turn against him, condemning him outright.
Yet Sarah still liked him, and she seed to understand him so well.
“Big Brother Brown, no matter what decision you make, I’ll support you.
But I think, in this situation, Gina is the one who got hurt the most.
You should please her.
She’s just a girl, after all, and girls always want their husbands to pamper them.
If you can make her happy, she won’t hold onto the past anymore.”
“Mm, thank you.
I’ll do that,” Jas said earnestly, nodding.
“Big Brother Brown, don’t feel pressured by what I said earlier.
Just treat like your friend, okay?
Otherwise, I’d really be heartbroken.
If I can’t be your girlfriend, I’d still like to stay your friend forever.”
“Yes, we’ll always be friends,” Jas nodded again, seriously this ti.
Sarah was such a kind girl, always so considerate.
How could he possibly refuse her simple request?
After work, Jas planned to go ho with Gina, but she told Lucy in advance that she had work to finish and would be late.
She urged Jas and Lucy to leave first.
Jas understood this was because Gina wasn’t ready to face him yet.
And honestly, he wasn’t sure how to face her, either.
Perhaps staying apart temporarily was best.
Taking Lucy along with him, Jas went to the school to pick up Emily Lopez.
When Emily ca out, she was accompanied by Principal Michael Carter.
Michael, with his cultured deanor, kept a polite distance as they walked, projecting the image of a man who was both respectful and subtly expressing admiration for her.
“Principal Wilson, my boyfriend is here to pick up.
See you!” Emily called out, pointing to Jas’s car before hurrying over excitedly.
Jas stood by the car.
As soon as Emily arrived, she grabbed his arm and waved at Michael.
“Principal Wilson, I’m heading out now.
Goodbye!”
Michael waved back and nodded at Jas, his face still wearing a smile.
Jas responded with a nod before getting into the car with Emily.
Once inside the car, Emily began to chatter.
“Brother-in-law, I deliberately said that so he’d know I have a boyfriend.
That way, he won’t keep pursuing .”
Jas chuckled and said, “Good.
It’s better not to get too involved with soone like him.”
“I know!
See?
You’re always looking out for .
Brother-in-law, I want crab tonight.
Can we go buy so?”
“Sure!” Jas agreed readily.
Although he and Gina were going through a rough patch, he didn’t want Emily to know about it.
He bought a few pounds of crabs, and they went ho to steam them.
Quickly, the kitchen was filled with a mouthwatering aroma.
anwhile, Emily called Gina to urge her to co ho for dinner, but Gina said she was working on sothing with Sunny Nguyen and was in a rush, so she’d be staying over at Sunny’s place tonight.
After hanging up, Emily went to the kitchen, bent over, and stared Jas up and down from the side.
Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Jas finally asked, “Emily, what are you looking at?”
“I’m just wondering, Brother-in-law—did you and my sister have a fight?”
“Of course not,” Jas replied, unwilling to tell her the truth and make her worry.
“No way.
You definitely had an argunt.
Otherwise, my sister wouldn’t avoid coming ho.
And it must’ve been a big argunt!
Oh no, don’t tell you’re getting a divorce.
That’s awful—terrible!
Brother-in-law, you absolutely can’t divorce my sister!”
Emily appeared visibly distressed, even flustered, as if Jas and Gina’s marriage ant more to her than her own feelings.
