Chapter 521 - 531: The Rules Set by Emily Lopez
When John Brown returned to the city, his initial thought was just to see how Melody Yoody was doing. If Melody still liked him, he’d marry her, and they would spend their lives together. But he ended up attracting a few other women along the way, leaving him with a headache, feeling that all these relationships were becoming a mess.
However, during this period, it seemed he kept interacting with several women, but Emily Johnson was no longer as bothersome. When he was with someone, everything felt quite natural, which was different from his previous thoughts.
How did this happen? Has he become more and more fickle and irresponsible?
It doesn’t seem like it. Gina Lopez is his wife, and he doesn’t want to divorce Gina, so he must take responsibility for her; Melody Yoody is pregnant with his child, so he must also put her first without hesitation. Sarah Grandy is now all alone, and he is basically her guardian. Emma Campbell, such a delicate girl, has given everything for him without ever asking for anything in return; how could he bear to abandon her?
"What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you’re planning to gather them all and sleep under one big blanket?" Melody Yoody teased with a joke when she saw John Brown’s ever-changing expression.
John Brown let out an awkward laugh and said, "That seems like one way to handle it."
"Get out of here! You think you’re in ancient times with three wives and four concubines? Let me tell you, don’t think that just because some people today have more than one woman, bringing them all home is very rare. Do you think today’s women are as obedient as those three obediences and four virtues of the past? They’ll fight with you every day, and you’ll wish they hadn’t," Melody said.
John Brown chuckled and said, "It’s just a joke. Nowadays, women’s status is so high, and with the gender imbalance, with more women and fewer men, it’s good that it’s not one woman having multiple husbands instead of the other way around. Isn’t that just dreaming?"
Melody lightly laughed and said, "Your idea is not bad. Maybe I should find a Pretty Boy then marry him, and you can be my concubine."
