The Supreme Soldier in the City

"Family..." James 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?"

James 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 James’s shoulder, her breath, with a faint fragrance, blowing on James’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 James’s face, he felt embarrassed to turn his head to face her, so he did not see that odd smile.

James 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 men the most, and James 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."

"Come 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 me handle it for you. When it comes to feelings, you’ve got to be decisive, just cut the Gordian knot. A short pain is better than prolonged agony."

James 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 Melody Yoody, his first love, she was not someone who would admit defeat easily. Even if James was married, she would definitely not let go that easily, and how could James possibly harden his heart against her? Those beautiful memories 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 time. Eventually, you’ll feel that my sister is the best match for you. And who else has such a great little aunt like me? It’s a buy-one-get-one-free deal for you. You’re making a killing."
