Chapter 35
“That’s what the TV host said I think he’s pretty spot on Wouldn’t it be great if you had a boyfriend to keep you company?” “Get rid of that thought as soon as possible! Clara wanted to roll her eyes “And stop watching that show too. It’s bullshit?”
Alex said, ‘Mommy, you’ll always be my favorite mommy!”
Clara suddenly laughed
Everything she did for her son was worth it!
Seeing his smiling face, Clara no longer doubted whether her decision years ago was right or not.
The next day, Clara arrived at Melendez’s company early in the morning.
She was worned that Emmett Melendez would be angry with her for rejecting him yesterday. So she had prepared the itinerary in advance and made all the necessary
arrangements
At half past eight, Emmett walked into the office.
He glanced at Clara standing next to the desk and furrowed his brow. “What are you standing here for?”
“Sorry, Mr. Melendez Yesterday…”
“Report the schedule” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Clara nodded quickly and began reporting the meetings he would attend today
Just as the report was about to end, she finally felt relieved. Then, suddenly, Emmett spoke up.
“Would you marry me?”
“What?” Clara was taken aback.
“I mean a contractual marriage. We won’t have an actual husband–wife relationship.” Emmett didn’t look at her, he continued to look at the contract and said, “My father is pressuring me to get married. He might have approached you too. I don’t want to get married, so I thought of finding a contract bride.”
Clara instinctively wanted to refuse
“You don’t have to decide in a hurry. I’ll give you time to consider. And if you agree, I’ll write off the debt I owe you. Additionally, I’ll give you a sum of money and a property
Clara admitted that this condition tempted her.
After all, she had no plans of finding a boyfriend for the time being.
And it’s just fake, all for the sake of appeasing Emmett’s father
But… this matter certainly wouldn’t be easy
“Mr. Melendez How long do I need to be a contract bride?”
“Why? Do you have plans to get married in the near future? Or do you have a boyfriend?”
Clara waved her hand. “No. But I’m not good at lying, not very skilled at it. I’m afraid someone will discover the truth”
“That’s not illegal. Even if the truth is uncovered, it’ll just be my father scolding me a bit more
“Alright…”
“Do you have any other concerns?”
Clara looked at Emmett’s face and said, “Why do you have to choose me? I think the ladies who wanted to go on a date with you before were all beautiful!”
“Because I don’t want to. Are you satisfied with that answer?”
“Agree or disagree?”
Seeing his seriousness, Clara immediately said. “I will definitely help with this favor! After all, Mr. Melendez saved me before. I still owe you money! Even if you don’t give me any additional compensation, I will accept it!”
Although she didn’t have any special abilities, she disliked being indebted to others. If given the opportunity, she would naturally repay the favor.
“In that case, please bring your identification tomorrow, and we will register for marriage”
Clara asked in surprise, ‘Register for marriage directly?”
