Chapter 20
“Are you a dog?!”
“You’re the creature with your inhumane ways!” Naomi hardened her neck and glared at Jack curtly.
“If I don’t get married, Grandpa will refuse to get treated. His sickness is quite serious right now so wecannot drag on any longer!” Jack’s expression was serious. His deep, dark gaze had a hint of pain inthem too.
“Okay, then I won‘t tell him.” Naomi secretly observed Jack’s reaction. She thought that she was ratherreckless a moment ago. However, she was also curious.
“Then, why didn’t you just get a fake marriage with another woman earlier? Why did you have to waituntil now?”
“I hate those women.” At the thought of those women using all sorts of ways to fling themselves at him,
Jack furrowed his brows tightly. His eyes were filled with disgust.
“Then why could you… have you fallen in love with me at first sight?!” Naomi suddenly widened hereyes. She was secretly starting to get smug. She had been labelled as beautiful since she was young.She was very confident in how she looked. Jack falling for her was very normal. 1
“You?” Jack said in detest while lowering his head, looking at her.
“I just don‘t hate you that much.” Jack immediately doused Naomi‘s flame of ego. Her smileplastered stiffly on her face. She was furious!
Idiotic old man! Stupid straight men! No wonder he was still single at such an old age!
“Fine! Go find others, I‘m not playing along!” Naomi enunciated with gritted teeth before turningand leaving
“Stop!” She took just a step forward whenJack’s voice immediately rang from behind. His cold tone had a rare hint of compromise.
“As long as you continue adhering to our contract, I‘ll let you propose any conditions you want.”
Jack furrowed his brows tightly. What was just done could not be undone. Old Mister Hough hadalready accepted this kid. Jack could not swap her for another person.
WhenNaomi heard what Jack had said, she stopped in her tracks hesitantly. At the thought that she might not see Jack anymore, the image of his gun suddenly appeared on her mind.
“Can you tell me where you got the gun from?”
“If you agree to continue with our deal, I‘ll tell you about it. I’ll give you three minutes to consider!”
Jack narrowed his eyes and instantly turned the tables.
Three minutes? Naomi held onto the corner of her shirt tightly. She quickly started contemplating.
If she were to continue the marriage deal with Jack, she had to continue to lie in the future. She had tocontinue putting up an act to uphold the deal. At just the thought of it, she felt exhausted already.
However, if she were to get a divorce from Jack, Scott would immediately set her up for a blind date.That would be an even more troublesome issue.
Also, Jack was the wealthiest person in Gin City, she did not want to offend him…
At that moment, a voice appeared in her mind, “Reject him! A marriage based on lies will not last long!
You will end up terribly once your lies get exposed!”
However, soon another voice camethrough, “Stop with the pretentious act, who do you think you are? The main character of a loveseries? Just say yes! Do you want to watch Old Mister Hough die?”
Time ticked by. Jack’s face started to tense gradually. Naomi, that kid, was actually taking her time toconsider and not immediately agreeing to him. He did not know why but he was inexplicably displeasedabout that.
Right at the last second, Naomi turned around and gave a fake smile that said she gave in to reality. She at Jack. “Okay, we have a deal! As for the conditions, I‘ll tell you when I think about it in the future.”
“Hmm, I‘ll keep my word.” Upon hearing her reply, Jack‘s brows relaxed. He looked at the purple bruises oNaomi‘s arm. “Stay the night in the hospital. I‘ll get the doctor to check up on you.”
Naomi initially wanted to refuse. However, at the thought of having to deal with Scott and her family if shewere to go home, she agreed to it resentfully.novelbin
“Right, you haven‘t told me where you got the gun from!” Naomi did not forget about it.
“It’s a gift from someone who has passed away.”
Upon the mention of the gun, Jack had a secretive look.
“Who gave it to you? What was her name?” Naomi‘s heart almost popped out. She continued asking.
“That is the second question already.” Jack raised his eyebrows, clearly refusing to answer her.
Naomi was furious yet anxious. His reply was as good as nothing! “Why are you so curious about the gunat her coldly with an intense gaze.
