Chapter 35 Pretend to Faint?
Originally, Gwenyth wanted to leave directly since she hadn't figured out how to explain to Ursula about the three million dollars. Yet, being held back by Ursula, she had no choice but to be frank with her.
She turned to look at Ursula, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Mom, what I said is true."
"What kind of job have you got? Did you quit the room service job?"
"Yes."
"Then, what's your new job?"
"Being Edison's girlfriend."
Ursula was totally stunned by her words. It took her a long time to realize the meaning behind it.
"As long as I promise to be his girlfriend for three months, I can get three million dollars from him."
"You..."
"Mom, don't be angry, I've signed the agreement with him. I'm just pretending to be his girlfriend."
Ursula's eyes flickered in pain as she listened to her explanation. Being Gwenyth's mother, she knew best about her. Gwenyth had a crush on Edison a few years ago. And now, for the sake of money, she decided to pretend to be his girlfriend...
"Mom, rest assured. I know the limits. Anyway, I don't like him either. So, I won't be having a physical relationship with him." Afraid that Ursula would continue pestering her more about the details of the agreement, Gwenyth pulled out her hand from her mother's grasp, opened the door, and left.
"Mom, you guys should go to bed now." She closed the door, turned on the flashlight on her phone, and ran downstairs in a hurry, worrying that Ursila would chase her from behind, asking her for the details.
Fortunately, Ursula didn't run after her all the way out of the community, nor did she call her. She let out a sigh of relief.
It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the nearest subway to the Moonlight Villa. After exiting the subway, Gwenyth strolled towards the residential area.
Edison has been waiting for her. He sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the wall clock on the wall. She has been home for several hours, if she does not come back by twelve o'clock, it will be considered a breach of contract.
He didn't call her since he just wanted to see if she was being aware of their contract. Now, the pointer of the clock was pointing at nine o'clock. Three more hours left.
Out of a sudden, the doorbell rang. He took a deep breath, got up steadily, and walked to the entrance. Through the Video intercom system, he found out that the person standing outside the door was Gwenyty, and the corners of his lips curved upwards slightly. Heh, I'd give her a pass this time, he thought.
While suppressing the smile on his face, he opened the door for her and looked at her expressionlessly."You took a long time going back home, didn't you?"
"I was preparing dinner for my family, so I exceeded a little more time than expected."
"Why are you only caring about your family? What about me?" he complained as he raised his plastered hand. "I'm still hungry."
Gwenyth was somewhat speechless by his complaint. What's wrong with this guy? Did he have to wait for her to cook? How on earth couldn't he order a takeaway while being hungry?
"Prepare my dinner, now," he said domineeringly, turned around, and left. Then, he hurried upstairs without looking back.
Gwenyth changed her shoes, put her backpack on the sofa, and went into the kitchen. She actually didn't mind cooking, cause and it happens that she hasn't eaten yet.
Luckily, she found several cups of instant noodles in the cupboard. For convenience, she directly boiled a pot of hot water to prepare instant noodles. Ten minutes after Edison returned to his room, someone knocked on his door. He opened the door, noticing Gwenyth was standing outside. "Dinner's ready," she said.
"What? That fast?"
"Yeah."
Curious about what Gwenyth had prepared, he followed her downstairs and into the dining area, only to found out the two cups of instant noodles on the table. He has been hungry since five o'clock, but she ended up cooking instant noodles for him?
"Do you think I can't prepare instant noodles with one hand?"
Gwenyth shook her head and explained, "Aren't you starving? Since I don't want you to wait too long, instant noodles are faster to prepare."
"..."
"Do you prefer other things to eat?"
He remained silent.
"If you don't like it, I'll make something else for you."
