16: Chapter 16: Marriage by Agreement 16: Chapter 16: Marriage by Agreement Oliver Ross was momentarily dazed, but his quick-thinking decidedly bowed deeply at 90 degrees to Emily Parker, his voice loud and clear,
Worthy of being the boss, by doing this, you can turn the tables now.”
Oliver Ross’s eyes sparkled, becoming a devoted fanboy of the boss.
If anyone dares to say his boss is just a brainless playboy, Oliver Ross will be the first to disagree.
Oliver Ross hastily contacted the legal department, leaving with Emily Parker and Carlos.
Emily Parker’s face turned pale, this news was even more terrifying than having an abortion!
“Carlos, I have told you, you don’t need to…”
“You can keep the child, you have seen the storm online, our video was leaked.
I’ve had people take down those videos, but that’s not enough.
To calm the storm, we need to get married, I won’t pursue the issues you planned against me before.”
Carlos thought he was being generous and forgiving, expecting Emily Parker to be moved to tears by his willingness to marry her.
Emily Parker’s face turned red with anger.
She bit her lips, the already vivid lips appeared all the more enticing, like ripe cherries.
This reminded Carlos of the scene in the video, Emily Parker in the cinema, sexy and wild; it looked like a different person compared to the seemingly aggrieved Emily Parker in front of him now.
Little did he know, her next words nearly killed Carlos with anger.
“What the hell gives you the right to disagree!”
Carlos, furious, kicked a nearby trash can.
After all they had done, and with a child involved, where did she get the courage to disagree?
You don’t love me either!
I’m not willing to force a marriage just for the sake of the child.
I will not keep this child.
If you won’t let me have the procedure today, I will find another place, another time to do it.”
Her words were like a dagger to Carlos’s heart.
This woman, still stubborn as a mule.
If she didn’t like him, why would she drug him?
She was so forward in the video, she was all over him!
Emily Parker didn’t want to argue anymore, and turned to leave.
“You might try, but from this moment on, see which hospital in the country dares to perform the operation for you.”
Carlos stood with his hands behind his back, his voice deep and forceful.
Emily Parker did not turn around, continuing to walk away.
“Your friend, Evelyn Hanson, she has a brother, their parents founded this hospital… What if the hospital went bankrupt.”
Emily Parker stopped in her tracks, finally turning around.
She wasn’t afraid of Carlos, but Evelyn Hanson was innocent and shouldn’t be dragged down by her own problems.
“Carlos, don’t go too far.”
“Emily Parker, don’t get me wrong, I have no interest in you.
What I want is not you, but the child in your belly.”
Too much had happened today, especially Evan Palmer’s pressing, making Carlos realize some things are inevitable.
The only person Carlos felt affection for was Rainny White, but Rainny was blind, and her identity…
His mother would never allow her in, and would keep forcing him to meet other women.
But if he had a nominal wife and a child, his mother would be happy and stop meddling in his affairs. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ NoveI~Fire.net
Once the child was born, he would hand the child over to his mother to raise.
With a new heir for the Carter Clan, both his mother and grandfather would be pleased, and he could gain his freedom to do as he wished.
“I won’t shortchange you.
We’ll just register the marriage, not making it public.
A year later, after the child is registered, I will let you go.
The child, regardless of gender, will belong to the Carter Family.
I won’t restrict your visitation rights.
Furthermore, I will give you a sum of money to ensure you never have to worry about livelihood.”
