453: Chapter 460: Still Said It 453: Chapter 460: Still Said It Sarah Utah was startled by Gina Lopez’s excited reaction and took a step back, stamring, “Mr.
Lopez, I…”
“You…
You must have seen Jas.
Quick, tell , where is he now?” Gina Lopez stood up abruptly, walked quickly around the table, and tightly grabbed Sarah’s arm.
“Mr.
Lopez…
I…
I…” Sarah was so anxious that her eyes were beginning to water.
John Brown had strictly told her never to let Gina know if she saw him, but seeing how worried Gina was about Jas left Sarah in a very difficult position.
“Sarah, you have to tell .
What exactly is he doing?
I’m really worried.” Gina held Sarah’s arm, her face filled with urgency.
Sarah’s face twisted in distress as she said, “Big Brother Brown…
he told not to say anything.”
“So you really did see him!” Gina almost shouted in excitent, took a deep breath, then softened her expression into a warm smile.
Guiding Sarah to the sofa, she held her hand and said, “Sarah, do you honestly not want to be with Jas?”
Sarah shook her head frantically.
“No, no, that’s not it.
I really hope Big Brother Brown is with you.”
“Then that’s set.
We’re currently in the middle of a quarrel, and I want to resolve it so he can co ho, but he’s avoiding .
If we can’t face each other, how can we fix our problems, right?
You see how worried I am; I’m not trying to pick a fight with him.
I just want to confront issues together and help him.
That’s what a husband and wife should do.”
Hearing Gina’s heartfelt appeal, Sarah bit her lip and said hesitantly, “Last night, Big Brother…
called to bail him out.”
“Bail him out?
What happened?” Gina was taken aback.
“He…” Sarah couldn’t help but find the situation amusing and blushed.
“He went to a bathhouse with four friends, and then the police detained them.”
Gina’s face turned dark.
“He went soliciting?”
“No, no, everyone there was rounded up.
Big Brother just got a massage.
I have a relative in the Public Security Bureau who confird this for .”
“Oh, oh…” Gina felt a wave of relief.
With so many close female friends around him, the idea of Jas seeking out won was unbearable to her.
“Wait, you said he brought four people?
Are they from our company?”
“No, I didn’t recognize any of them.
They kept calling Big Brother their boss.
He said they were his old comrades.” Recalling how those four n called her “sister-in-law,” Sarah’s face ward with a sweet smile.
Gina, preoccupied with her tangled thoughts, didn’t notice Sarah’s smile.
She frowned, saying, “Jas’s comrades?
He’s never ntioned them before.”
“Well, that’s what he told .
Those four seed really strong and capable, like actual soldiers.”
“That must be it.
Wait, you said Jas went out for a sauna last night.
When did he get back?”
“When I picked them up, it was already past eleven o’clock.”
Gina squinted her eyes, and a smile slowly spread across her face.
If Jas spent last night with his comrades, it ant he hadn’t been with Emily Berns.
This proved that Emily’s claims were baseless.
At most, Jas might have t with her briefly, but he certainly hadn’t stayed with her.
“Mr.
Lopez… What’s going on?” Sarah was puzzled by the smile on Gina’s face and asked cautiously.
“Nothing.
Thank you, Sarah.
You’ve helped a lot this ti.”
“Oh?
I didn’t really do anything.”
Gina patted Sarah on the shoulder and smiled.
“You’ve untied a knot in my heart.
What could be more important than that?”
Though Sarah still didn’t entirely understand, she sensed that Gina wouldn’t be angry with Big Brother anymore.
Feeling a bit more relieved, she decided it was worth being scolded by Jas; letting Gina know had been the right call.
After Sarah left, Gina imdiately called lody Yoody to share the details.
lody, hearing the story, was equally delighted.
Gina then dialed Lucy Campbell’s number.
“Lucy, yesterday Jas was out with four of his comrades.
I still don’t really know what Jas used to do in the military.
Could it have been sothing special?”
Lucy responded quickly, “Are you sure?”
“Sarah saw him yesterday with four n.
Jas said they were his old comrades.
Typically, he doesn’t hang out with male friends here in YODC City, so they must be important, right?”
“If they’re Jas’s comrades, they’re probably involved in sothing special.
Jas’s unit was very unique, and their work required secrecy.
That’s why he’s probably unreachable for the next couple of days with his phone off.”
“Oh, I see.
So, could it be dangerous?”
“Haha, definitely not.
You’ve seen with so many bodyguards, but if Jas is around, I don’t bring any.
If he can protect others, what could possibly happen to himself?”
“Then I won’t worry too much.
I just wonder when he’ll finish this mission.”
“It shouldn’t take too long.
My guess would be about a week, no more than half a month tops.” Lucy reasoned that if this were governnt work, it wouldn’t involve bringing his comrades into town.
So, whatever Jas was dealing with, it wasn’t from the governnt.
Based on Jas’s abilities, she estimated the task wouldn’t take more than two weeks.
After a brief pause, Lucy added, “Gina, during this ti, it’s best if you don’t go looking for Jas.
You could add to his troubles and unintentionally create unnecessary dangers.”
Gina quickly agreed, “I understand.
I definitely won’t look for Jas.
Even if I see him, I’ll pretend not to recognize him.”
She had learned this lesson the hard way.
When Jas had helped Helen Wilson on a case last ti, her one phone call to him had resulted in a heap of avoidable chaos and danger.
Realizing that Jas might be on a secret mission again, she vowed not to disrupt him this ti.
After hanging up, Gina found herself reflecting on her enigmatic husband.
What exactly had Jas done in the past, and what kind of man was he?
It seed he wasn’t as ordinary as he appeared.
His life was shrouded in mystery.
As his wife, she had never deeply understood his true nature—it felt like a significant failure on her part.
There was sothing irresistibly captivating about a man with an air of mystery.
Gina’s curiosity about Jas grew even stronger.
Any lingering fear of his past had been replaced by a determination to learn more.
When he ca back, she resolved to ask him everything about his past—especially about those other won who had appeared in his life.
She couldn’t bear to deal with another Emily Berns-type situation, much less the possibility of soone “bringing her Jas’s child.” Just the thought was enough to give her a headache.
That evening, she didn’t pick up Emily Lopez because she arrived ho late.
As she opened the door, Emily, full of excitent, appeared at the entrance.
However, one glance behind her sister and Emily’s cheerful expression turned into disappointnt.
Quietly, she turned and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Gina, now in a much better mood, walked over and sat beside her sister.
“What’s with that face?
Are you telling your brother-in-law is more important to you than your own sister?”
Emily hugged her knees, pouting, and said softly, “I just feel like sothing’s missing when he’s not here.”
Gina knocked Emily lightly on the head, laughing.
“He’s my husband.
Why are you acting like this?”
“Is he still your husband, though?
I thought you kicked him out.” Emily rolled her eyes at her sister.
“Who said he left?
He’s just gone to handle so things.
He’ll be back soon.
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your brother-in-law cos ho.”
“Really?” Emily threw her arms around Gina’s shoulders in excitent.
“Of course.
Why would I lie to you?
Wait…
why are you so thrilled?” Gina looked at Emily curiously, sensing she might be overly excited.
Emily giggled.
“I just like him, okay?
I like him.
If you don’t want him, I’ll make him my husband.”
Gina dismissed her sister’s nonsense, pushing her away.
“Oh, get out of here.
You’ve got the thickest skin I’ve ever seen.”
Emily laughed heartily.
“Brother-in-law’s coming back!
That’s amazing.
Sis, you’re not mad at him anymore?”
“Of course I’m mad.
I’m mad that he doesn’t tell about his past.
I only find out when things blow up.
Doesn’t he consider his wife?
Shouldn’t I be mad?
Shouldn’t I bla him?”
Emily nodded vigorously.
“Exactly!
We have to get all the details about his past.
Keeping secrets from you?
That’s unfaithful!
I’ll help you.
Oh, when is Brother-in-law coming back?”
“Within two weeks.”
“That long?” Emily imdiately pouted again.
“What can we do?
Your brother-in-law’s off handling sothing important.
He can’t just rush back.
Behave yourself in the anti, or no one will help you out.”
“Got it.” Emily giggled, her heart content knowing Jas wouldn’t be leaving their family.
Nothing made her happier.
