Chapter 388： A man who is afraid of marriage

Chapter 388 A man who is afraid of marriage

In March, Miami, on the blue sea, a white yacht drifted with the current on the sea. From a distance, it looked like a white water bird flying in the blue sea and sky.

Link was lying on the deck of the yacht, with his upper body exposed, wearing only a pair of beach shorts and a pair of sunglasses. His skin glowed with a metallic color in the sun, and his muscles were as solid and powerful as iron.

Sitting across from him was James, who had just boarded the boat. He was wearing a baseball cap and no shirt, revealing his plump white flesh. The waistband of his trousers was tight around his belly, and the flesh on his belly almost spilled onto the deck.

“Link, I have decided to go to Los Angeles with you. It’s also okay to go to New York.”

“It’s too late, I don’t want to take you there now.”

“Why? If you continue to stay here, you will stay here for the rest of your life. It’s scary to think about it. I want to go to New York and Los Angeles to see the outside world.”

“The outside world is just like that, there’s not much to see, it’s not as beautiful as Miami Beach.”

Under the awning, Link was flipping through a magazine and said without raising his head.

James scratched his fat face, hesitated for a while, and then slumped down on the armchair as if he was in a state of ruin.

“Link, I don’t want to get married. I have no plans to get married at all.”

"It's too late. Lilian is already pregnant with your child. Now that you say you don't want to get married, what were you doing before?"

Link raised the corner of his mouth.

More than ten days ago, he returned to Miami exhausted and ready to rest here for a while.

But I heard that James has a new girlfriend, a Latina girl named Lillian, who is a little fat and not pretty, but not ugly either. She is more than good enough to match James.

Lillian is an employee that James hired into the store last year. She is hard-working and agile. She can keep the diving store in order by herself.

The two worked together for three or four months and slept together naturally.

Less than two months later, Lillian became pregnant and asked James what to do?

James was so frightened that he ran to Daniel's store and hid.

Lillian found James's mother Cathy again and told her about the incident.

Aunt Cathy knew Lillian and was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She was down-to-earth, capable, and had a good personality. She also attended community college for two years and was much better than the girls James had known before.

She told Lillian that she hoped she would give birth to a child, and also expressed that she would let James marry her.

Afterwards, Aunt Cathy found James in Daniel's shop and asked him to marry Lillian.

James refused to obey. His ideal wife was a hot and gorgeous beauty, definitely not an average-looking girl like Lillian, who was also fatter.

He hesitated and asked Cathy if he could take Lillian for an abortion?

Cathy slapped him in the face and told him that it was impossible. If he didn't like Lillian before, why did he sleep with her? Now she was pregnant and didn't want to be responsible. She asked him who he learned from.

Cathy grabbed his ear and returned home, letting Lillian live at home to raise the baby. At the same time, she began to prepare for their wedding, and they would get married in two months.

As the wedding day approaches, James is in panic all the time. When he sees Link coming back, he harasses him every day and wants to go to Los Angeles or New York with him.

After Link heard the whole story from Cathy, he would naturally not follow James's temper. If he really wanted to take him to Los Angeles, Cathy would really think that James was imitating him.

Lillian and the unborn child will also blame him in the future, and he doesn't want to be the bad guy.

“Get married first, and after the child is born, I’ll welcome you to Los Angeles or New York if you want.”

Link took a sip of lemonade to moisten his dry lips. "I don't want to get married. I'm only 24 years old. I haven't had enough fun. There's also that child. I'm not ready to be a father at all."

James spread his hands and said.

Link glanced at him. If he hadn't owned a shop and had American citizenship, people like him would only be singles in other countries. How would anyone be chasing him to marry him and give him children?

"There are still two months until the wedding. It's not too late to start preparing now. In addition, Cathy is planning to open a small cafe in the city and leave it to you and Lillian to take care of. In the future, you will have a wife and children, and the small cafe will... It will be a good day too.”

"Don't you think this is scary? I've grown up and I've never been to a place other than Miami. Now I'm going to get married and become a father, and I have to stay in a cafe for the rest of my life. It's so scary. Just look at such a life. I can see the end, I regret it, I should have gone to Los Angeles with you earlier.”

James said.

“So what if you go to Los Angeles? Although the parties are lively, you can’t attend parties every day. Universal Studios, Venice Beach, Beverly Hills, and Sunset Boulevard. Although these places are beautiful and prosperous, you will get tired of them after a long time.

There are also those bars, dance halls and clubs, which are just places for boring people to spend time. The more you go, the more bored you will be. Staying in Miami, staying in a place you love, is always a good thing. "

“That’s not what you said before. You often encouraged me to go out.”

“You didn’t have any children before.”

Link said.

Not only because of the child, but also because of James’ character. For a coward like him, it will be more difficult to go to a big city. It is better to stay in the comfort zone of Miami.

As for the truth that survival in a big city will be tempered and you will become mature and tough, it does not apply to everyone.

Some people have a **** and will turn into gold after being tempered, but more people turn into dregs. James obviously does not belong to the former group.

In addition, Link has lived in New York and Los Angeles for more than two years, and his feelings about the place have gone from longing for it at first to a bit tired now.

The two cities felt to him like two bottomless quagmires. In the mire were treasure chests with labels such as wealth, reputation, status, lust, etc. The more he got, the heavier his body became and the deeper he sank.

Link thought that he was not a lustful and money-grubbing person in the past. He used to target two or three beauties and had a deposit of 700 to 800 million.

 It can be seen that after seeing the materialistic desires of Hollywood and the luxury and prosperity of Manhattan, the personality will be subtly affected, the three views will be distorted, and one's own desires will be infinitely magnified, and people will gradually become greedy, lustful, and vain.

Although Link resisted and fought, after leaving the two quagmires and returning to Miami, he looked at what he had done in the past year and found that all the resistance was in vain.

Every person becomes a part of the quagmire after entering the quagmire, even if his body is floating on the sea of ​​Miami at this moment.

Another social attribute, he is still in New York and Los Angeles, and newspapers and television networks still spread the news about what he did in New York and Los Angeles.

It's like he never left.

A person like him who is considered strong cannot maintain his true character after entering the metropolis, let alone James.

“Link, I heard about your and Tyler’s child.”

"do not talk."

Link said.

"Oh fine!"

James scratched his face helplessly.
