Chapter 334: Chapter 341: Getting Married Because of Pregnancy_3

Gina Lopez looked outside the window, sighed, and said, "My mom’s last wish is to see me get married, to see me have a child. I can’t fail to fulfill her wish."

Sunny Nguyen adjusted her disordered thoughts and asked, "What does James say about it?"

Gina Lopez frowned slightly and replied, "He didn’t say anything when we went to get our marriage certificate, but when it comes to having children, he has never agreed to it."

"Why doesn’t he agree?" Sunny Nguyen looked at Gina Lopez, feeling a bit anxious inside.

Gina Lopez turned her head and repeated James Brown’s set of reasons, then said with a frown, "I am the one giving birth, not him. He has so many concerns; it really makes me anxious."

Sunny Nguyen patted Gina Lopez on the shoulder and said, "Gina, I understand your desire to have a child for the sake of your mother’s last wish, but... I can also understand James’ point of view. He’s not wrong."

Gina Lopez asked, confused, "Why? Is it that difficult to have a child for me?"

"Gina, is having a child just your own affair? You’re the mother, wouldn’t James be the father? When the child is born, would he have no responsibilities? You don’t have a child now, so you don’t have the mindset of being responsible for one, and you should also understand somewhat how difficult it is to raise a child nowadays. Education, health... all these matters are enough to keep a couple extremely busy. It’s not as simple as just giving birth."

Gina Lopez’s mouth twitched slightly. If it were James Brown saying these things, she wouldn’t listen at all and would only think he was shirking his duties, but coming from Sunny Nguyen, she couldn’t help but seriously consider it.

"Gina, since you and James are already married, even if it was for that reason, as husband and wife, you should consider each other more and not just follow your own inclinations; otherwise, that will lead to conflict."

"But my mother doesn’t have much time left, and I just can’t seem to get pregnant. She must be anxious."

"Actually, you haven’t truly understood your mother’s mindset. What she really wants is to see you happy. As long as you and James are loving, she knows that you will have children sooner or later; that’s enough. If you haven’t even figured out your relationship with James, then even if you were pregnant, and your mother saw that the two of you don’t even seem like a couple, how could she be happy? She would probably worry even more about what would happen to you two afterwards. If you separate, with a child, that would be an even heavier burden."

Gina Lopez didn’t speak, lost in thought. To be honest, she didn’t have the feeling of being married, nor did she have the awareness of being James Brown’s wife. To address her relationship with James Brown with the mindset of a married woman was indeed difficult for her now.

Sunny Nguyen knew that these matters were not something she could help Gina Lopez understand just by talking about them. Standing up, she said, "These things can’t be figured out in a day or two. I only realized after my own divorce. Don’t be too troubled by this. Just remember one thing, you can’t always be self-centered; think more about James, and you won’t be wrong."

Sunny Nguyen left, and Gina Lopez was still in a daze for a while but couldn’t figure things out. She shook her head and had no choice but to focus on work for now.

In James Brown’s office, Sarah Utah sat next to him, eyes wide and face slightly pale, but with a strained smile, she said, "Big Brother Brown, I must congratulate you, marrying such an outstanding woman as Mr. Lopez’s daughter."

Although Gina Lopez had told James Brown not to tell anyone in the company, when Sarah Utah came today, he still told her about his marriage to Gina Lopez, not for any other reason but not to let Sarah Utah sink deeper in her feelings.

"Heh, thank you," James Brown laughed, but his smile was somewhat forced.

"Big Brother Brown, you’re married, but how come you don’t seem particularly happy?" Sarah Utah keenly noticed the look on James Brown’s face and immediately asked with suspicion.

James Brown laughed again and said, "Isn’t it just getting used to it? I’ve always been single, and now suddenly I’m someone’s husband."

Sarah Utah looked at James Brown and slowly said, "Big Brother Brown, is it that you... don’t really want to marry Mr. Lopez’s daughter?"

James Brown laughed it off, saying, "Not at all."

"Don’t lie to me. I have classmates who have gotten married, and they were incredibly happy when they did so, their faces glowing. But you seem tired, which is not the usual effect of a marriage. Maybe... you were forced into marriage, ah... it couldn’t be a shotgun wedding, could it?"

Sarah Utah covered her mouth and looked at James Brown with an even stranger expression.

Shotgun wedding... James Brown suddenly thought Sarah Utah’s analogy was quite apt, except that when others have a shotgun wedding, it’s because they’re already pregnant and have to marry. But his situation with Gina Lopez was different; they had to marry first to have a child.

"You really hit the nail on the head... I didn’t expect Mr. Lopez’s daughter to be already carrying your child. I’m really envious of her..."

At Sarah Utah’s words, James Brown was left somewhat speechless. Did this girl still not change her feelings for him, despite everything, as she used words like "envious"?
