Julian Shaw discussed quite a large number of clauses with Willa Doyle in an extremely serious manner as if he was negotiating a business deal.
In the beginning, Willa had a sorrowful expression from Julian's business-like attitude. Afterward, she had no choice but to accept this mode before signing an agreement.
Willa proposed the first condition and it was also the condition that she refused to compromise with after all this time.
Julian had to acknowledge his relationship with Willa as lovers to Susan Shelby. Moreover, Julian had to move in with Willa. They were required to spend time together for five hours every day at a minimum.
Failing to dissuade her from this condition, Julian added numerous additional clauses to this.
The most important clause was that Willa was not allowed to use Susan's illness to threaten him into doing anything else.
At last, both of them signed the agreement.
The agreement could not take legal effect and it did not have any constraint effects either.
The act of coming up with this agreement was meant to decide the general tone for the future.
According to the agreement, Willa would not receive anything else other than some titular matters.
This was slightly different from Willa's planning originally, but she could still accept it with great effort.
After all, Julian loathed her so much now so it was quite impossible for him to accept her in such a short period of time.
However, it was fine for Willa. As long as she could eliminate Susan from the situation first, she believed that Julian would certainly notice her kindness slowly through their time living together and fall head over heels in love with her as a result.
Willa held the agreement tightly and cracked into a faint smile on her face.
“Julian, so are we going to live here from now on?" Willa cracked into a shy smile on her face. "Which room are you planning to stay in? I shall go and clean your room."
Julian said coldly and nonchalantly, "You will only need to clean up your very own room. You will stay in the master bedroom and I'll take any guestroom.
According to the negotiation, the clause indicated that they had to live together but there was no mention that they had to live in one room for sure.
The smile on the corners of Willa’s lips remained unchanged. She acknowledged it with a soft voice. "Alright, then I shall go ahead and tidy up the room.”
Julian felt sorry for his eyes just by taking one more glance at her.
He stood up right away. “I still have some matters to attend to, so I shall make a move first."
"When are you coming back?" asked Willa from behind.
"Don't worry, I will fulfill five hours.” Julian left right away.
A complacent smile flashed past Willa's eyes as she gazed after his departing silhouette.
There was no doubt that Julian was a hard-to-crack target yet the harder he was to crack, the more fight her heart was filled with.
One day, she would make Julian fall in love with her just like how he loved Susan sooner or later...
No, Julian would love her even more than he loved Susan.
"Julian, I will have you completely one day." A wildly ambitious glint flashed past Willa's eyes.
As soon as he left the villa, Julian's upright back relaxed ever so slightly. He sat inside the car in silence.
"Mr. Shaw, where are we heading to?” The driver could not refrain himself from asking after Julian was silent for a very long time.
Julian had not spoken at all.
Just as the driver felt that he would not answer anymore, Julian's deep voice was heard. "Go to the research center."
The driver perked up and immediately drove to the research center.
At the door of the research center, Julian looked up from the window of the car. The second window from the left of the third floor was precisely Susan's room.
The staff members in the research room had been reporting Susan's condition to him all this time. Susan was already breathing evenly after consuming the wonder drug. However, she had yet to regain her consciousness.
Julian's fists tightened involuntarily as he looked at the window in this manner.
He was well aware that he was destined to hurt Susan for the time being in order to let Susan live.
