Chapter 787
Amiee lifted her head, speaking calmly, “I can’t stand marriages for business benefits, and I ain’t into
playing lovey-dovey. So, this is the end.”
She grew weary of contractual marriages, weary of feigned affection. She had always believed that her
bond with Josiah would be different, but now she harbored a deeper fear that they might succumb to
the fate same as her parents’.
She could handle being fake with others, but not with Josiah.
Josiah was stunned. He looked at her, unable to speak for a moment.
He wanted to ask if it was because of her Hushhush, but if she liked him, why did last night happen?
He had no reason to refuse, since they were just playing pretend.
Always so cool, so unreadable.
“Let’s eat quickly!” Having finished her water, Amiee stood up and left.
Back in her room, she packed a few things, grabbed her laptop, and prepared to head home.
Josiah couldn’t eat anymore. He sat there for a while and then slowly approached.
He leaned against the door, watching her with a complex expression. After a while, he finally asked,
“Did I… not satisfy you last night?”
Amiee, “…”
She was rummaging for a USB in her drawer. Clenching her teeth, she turned to look at him and said
clearly, “Scram!”.
“I… I!” Josiah’s face turned a bit red. He awkwardly explained, “I admit, last night was my first time. If
there’s anything… just let me know. I’ll improve.”
Amiee’s face reddened immediately, she felt like hacking him with a black axe!
Josiah was a bit panicked. He was desperate to keep her, so he blurted out, “Amiee, let’s get married!”
Amiee frowned at him.
Josiah explained, “I’ll take responsibility for last night. We can get married: But don’t worry, we can still
be like now, not interfering with each other. This way we won’t have to deal with our elders and we can
keep doing what we like.”
Amiee’s gaze became icy, “Scram!”
“Amiee!” Josiah’s face turned icy as well.
Amiee stood up, her voice stern, “Who wants to marry you? Leave now and never come back!”
Josiah saw disgust in Amiee’s eyes. He knew she was a cool person, not talkative, not much of a
laugher, but she had never looked at him like this.
The tension and excitement in his heart cooled down. He looked at Amiee and asked word by word,
“Can’t we even be friends anymore?”
“Right. From now on we’re total strangers, no need for greetings when we meet.” Amiee said coldly.
Josiah gave a bitter laugh and nodded, “Fine, I won’t bother you anymore.”
His eyes were red, staring at her like a wounded rabbit.
Amiee watched him leave briskly, then heard a “bang” as he shut the door behind him.
Amiee took a deep breath, her nose a bit sour. She turned to look out the window, then back to her
stuff. But she heard some rustling in the dining room.
She furrowed her brow, then got up and left.novelbin
Standing in the living room, she saw Josiah, who had just left and slammed the door, was back. He
was cleaning up the dishes on the table, not paying her any mind, then took the dishes into the kitchen.
The sound of running water was constant. The man was washing dishes quickly.
Approximately five or six minutes later, Josiah reemerged. He had tidied the table and prepared a cup
of hot milk for her. Without uttering a word, he turned and departed.
He never looked at her.
Then there was another “bang” as the door closed.
The man had left again.
Amiee, “…”
