The Supreme Soldier in the City

"But that day we didn’t actually have sex, so you don’t have to take responsibility for me; you don’t really have to marry me."

James 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 Melody 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 some time."

"So what you mean is, you also... liked me before?" Gina Lopez asked nervously, and at this moment, 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 James Brown’s hand.

James Brown clasped back Gina Lopez’s hand and said, "So this time that we had sex and truly became 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 me well, and for that, I feel somewhat sorry to you."

Gina Lopez immediately said, "It’s okay, no hurry; I know you are a sentimental person. If you broke up with them immediately for my sake, that would actually be too cruel."

James 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."
