Mavis stared blankly at the document on the coffee table and took it slowly.
The first page was printed in large characters. [Marriage Agreement] The Callahan family was a wealthy and aristocratic family with a big business. If there was any pre-marital property certificate that needed to be clearly divided, Mavis can understand.
Thinking of this, she tuned the page.
There were a lot of terms and conditions, which she did not expect at all.
The term of this agreement was one year.
The agreement roughly meant that for a year of private marriage, she needed to cooperate with Anthony to pretend to be intimate at any time. In private, they did not interfere with each other.
When the one-year marriage deadline was up, Anthony will give her a corresponding reward, and the divorce fee will be very generous.
The reward column at the bottom was blank.
It seemed Anthony left it to her on purpose.
She looked at this thick marriage agreement in shock and felt so ironic in her heart.
No wonder Anthony was so indifferent to her tonight. It turned out that he had this idea from the very beginning. He wanted to use her...
One year contract couple.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the past, she thought this kind of thing would only be seen on TV, but she didn't expect it to happen to her this time.
But why was she... not happy at all.
When her expression was complicated and her heart was full of mixed feelings, Anthony sipped his cigarette and said lightly, "As long as you sign this agreement, you don't need to go back to your previous small apartment. | will let people help you carry your luggage and cto Callahan Residence." "In addition, if you don't want to go to work, | will give you 100,000 dollars of pocket money every month this year, enough for your daily expenses." "You just need to cooperate withat the right tand perform to be affectionate.” "As for the property division of the divorce after one year, | will leave it to you. | cannot give you the shares of Callahan Group.
Except that, | have other real estate, shares of major subsidiaries, gold, and cash. How much do you want? | can satisfy you." The room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco. Anthony's expression was covered in smoke, and there was no gentleness, only alienation and indifference on his face.
Mavis looked at him. The tip of her nose was a little sour, and his eyes were faintly red.
She had fantasized, longing for a sweet love with him, and even a happy marriage. Now it seemed that she was thinking too much.
A one-year marriage agreement.
They would divorce after a year. After that, they had nothing to do with each other. They were strangers.
She looked at the column about the divorce compensation for her with ssarcasm, "If | fill in here, | just want to get you, your body, and your heart, and you will give it totoo." Anthony frowned. His expression was a little serious, and he was not angry, "Emotion is the most empty thing in this world. | can't give it to you." He said it very firmly, without hesitation at all, as if the possibility of falling in love with her was basically zero for him.
Mavis bit her lower lip. The slight tingling on her lip was awakening her sanity.
She pushed the document back, "I'm sorry Mr. Callahan. I'm not going to sign it. You can... find someone else to be the wife of the agreement.” Anthony stared at her and had an ironic smile as if he had expected it.
"Okay, | won't force you. It's fine if you don't sign it." He lowered his eyes and looked at the ton his watch, "It's very late. I'll have a bodyguard take you home. You can take it has never happened.” "No, | have money. | can take a taxi back by myself." "Callahan Residence is a manor on the outskirts. There is no taxi within a radius of ten miles. How do you get back?" "I don't need to bother you. | will handle it myself." Mavis stroked the folds on the skirt, stood up slowly, and bowed politely to him, "Thank you very much for taking care ofafter | was drunk. I'm very happy with today's date." She spoke calmly, with a smile on her face that seemed to hide her sadness.
Anthony noticed, and felt uneasy for no apparent reason.
"Goodbye, Mr. Callahan." Mavis bowed slightly again and walked towards the door.
Anthony sat up straight and shook the cigarette towards the glass ashtray. His fingers paused, and finally he irritably snuffed out the unburned cigarette butt.
He sarcastically said with a cold voice, "You say you likeand you're willing to do anything for me, but you can't even accept a marriage agreement. In terms of compensation and daily pocket money, do | treat you badly?" Mavis stopped abruptly, with her palms clenched.
"You women are all the same. You are insatiable. After you're given enough money, you want to get me, my heart, and all my property.” He said it very sadly, and every word for Mavis was piercing.
Mavis was very unconvinced, "I don't care about money. | took a plane from Teflayria to a foreign country. And | have been there for five years, just because | like you, but my feeling is not for you to use casually." "Mr. Callahan ..." She paused, thought about it, and asked the question she wanted to know the most.
"You have been so kind tothese days, and you have cared so much about me. Is it because you like me? Or do you think I'm a good fit to be used?" Anthony lowered his head. His long curly eyelashes cast shadows under the light, making it difficult to see his expression.
He squeezed the cigarette, stirred the ashtray leisurely, and answered lightly, "Maybe, both However, the first reason had to be changed.
It was because Molly likes her. Molly was willing to let her be her godmother, and she had a good relationship with Molly, so he didn't have to worry about Molly being angry with her godmother in the future.
Mavis didn't know the thoughts in his heart, and the sadness eased a lot.
He said that both were the reason.
Did it mean that he still liked her a little bit? Did it mean that she still had a chance? Even if it was really just a little bit, it proved that her hard following in the past few years was worth it.
Compared with him, a noble man who cfrom a big and powerful family, she was just a woman who cout of the poor and backward mountainous area of Teflayria. He had concerns about her, and she understood it.
Mavis persuaded herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a year, whether it was long or short, a lot of things will happen. Maybe she can impress him...
People were greedy.
Once she had it and felt the tenderness of the other party, she wanted to have it all the time, and even wanted this man to becher own man.
"I am willing to sign, and | agree to whatever you ask." She turned around and walked back, picked up the pen on the table, and signed her non the marriage agreement.
When her eyes touched the compensation column, she was stunned before writing.
She filled it out in less than a second.
"I've filled it out. Mr. Callahan, take a look." She handed the document back.
Anthony was slightly startled and keenly noticed that when she just filled out the compensation, she wrote very quickly. Then he turned the page to take a look.
Mavis only filled in one word.
"none." She didn't want real estate or any kind of gold.
If she got divorced in the future, she chose to leave the house.
Anthony couldn't help looking at her a few more times, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you don't want any compensation? | am not a stingy person. You have solved my urgent needs. Even if it is hundreds of millions of money, a house on Central Street, or the largest holding of a company without hesitation. If you get divorced in the future, you can still be a boss and a rich woman by yourself, so you don't have to worry about your daily life. That will be great.” Mavis shook her head, and in her firm tone, she was extraordinarily arrogant.
"I said, | only want you and your heart. During this year, | will cooperate with you, but at the stime, | will also try to conquer you and make you likeand fall in love with me." "If I can't do it, it's my failure. | voluntarily go out of the house, go back to my hometown, and never disturb your life again.” She wanted him to like her, even fall in love with her? Anthony chuckled.
It was the first the'd seen a woman who seduced him in such a righteous and frank manner.
He couldn't pick out any mistakes, but found it particularly interesting.
