Chapter 332: Chapter 341: A Shotgun Wedding

James Brown didn’t quite feel married, and Gina Lopez’s home didn’t feel like home to him either. It was the rented cottage that truly felt like home, so he returned to his own place.

Back at his own place, he switched on the lights and immediately noticed the sparkling cleanliness of his home, which told him that Emma had been there.

However, upon seeing the shoes at the entrance, James’s heart skipped a beat because they were Emma Campbell’s shoes, which meant that Emma was indeed in the house.

He quickly turned off the lights and tiptoed into the bedroom where, by the moonlight, he saw Emma sleeping on the bed. She was covered with a thin blanket, with one arm exposed atop it. Her delicate face and sweet sleeping posture made James’s heart grow fonder as he watched.

Gently, he undressed and carefully climbed onto the bed, lifted the thin blanket and pressed his body close to Emma’s.

"Ah!" Emma’s body suddenly jolted, and she let out an alarmed scream.

Emma’s reaction startled James, who quickly sat up and said, "Don’t be scared, Emma, it’s me."

"Ah! Big Brother Brown, you’re back." Now that her eyes had adjusted, Emma saw James and joyfully threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Big Brother Brown, you really scared me to death, I thought a burglar had come in."

James gently patted Emma’s back and said apologetically, "Sorry, Emma, I should have called out to you earlier, so I wouldn’t have scared you."

Emma shook her head gently in James’s arms and said softly, "I know you didn’t want to wake me, Big Brother Brown."

Holding Emma, James leaned down to kiss her on the top of her head and asked, "How come you came here alone?"

"I didn’t have anything going on at school today and I missed you, Big Brother Brown, so I came here. I was worried there might be someone else at your place until I asked Sister Sarah and she said you were alone, then I dared to come in."

James’s heart ached as he thought about how considerate this girl was for him, yet now he was married to someone else, someone else’s husband. He held Emma tightly, wanting to say something apologetic, but he realized that no words could match the depth of Emma’s ocean-like affection for him.

"Big Brother Brown... I missed you." At that moment, Emma’s body felt warm, her small mouth gently rubbing against James’s bare chest.

This was the first time Emma had been so proactive and emotional, and James felt that at this moment, other than showing her through his actions how much he really liked her, everything else seemed redundant.

Although James was quite tired, he expressed his concern, "Emma, I’m not wearing a condom. Be careful not to get pregnant."

Emma’s face blushed even more, and she said softly, "I... I’ve gotten the pills."

Relieved, James kissed Emma’s face a few times before rolling off and, pulling over some tissues, began to help Emma clean up. This made Emma terribly embarrassed. Though they had been so intimate, having James do such a thing made her shy. However, she really had no strength left in her body and had to let James help her.

After cleaning up, James lay down and held Emma, who snuggled into his arms like a kitten, both still savoring the wonderful sensation they had just experienced.

After a while, Emma spoke softly, "Big Brother Brown, do you not like children?"

"Not at all, I like them very much."

"Then why are you afraid of me... getting pregnant? Oh, Big Brother Brown, I don’t mean anything by it, I’ve already thought about it. I want to have a child for you someday - I just want a child conceived out of love with you, not to use it to ask for anything from you."

James tenderly stroked Emma’s back and said, "Silly girl, you’re really too naive, Big Brother Brown doesn’t not want kids, it’s just that you’re still in university, and it’s not right to have a child now."

"That’s not a big deal, isn’t it stipulated by law now? During university, not only can we get married, but we can also have children. I could take a leave of absence."

"But still, it’s not good, Emma. You’re still so young, having a child so early would mean your life revolves around it, that’s too exhausting. I’d rather you have a few more happy years, then it’s not too late for us to have children."

Emma nodded gently and said, "Then I’ll listen to Big Brother Brown. By the way, what about Miss Reed? When the time comes, let her bear you a child early."

James chuckled bitterly and said, "It’s not your Miss Reed now."

"Huh?" Emma lifted her head, looking at James with surprise.

James then recounted to Emma how Mrs. Lopez had been diagnosed with cancer and his marriage to Gina Lopez.

Tears welled up in Emma’s eyes as she sobbed, "Sister Lopez’s mother is so pitiful. Then you should have a child with Sister Lopez soon to fulfill her last hope."

"If she has other hopes, I will naturally do everything I can to fulfill them. But having a child is too important. I don’t really have that kind of feeling for Gina Lopez, and getting married was already a compromise. If we have a child, then there’s no turning back for us."
