"Do you need me to fulfill your sexual needs?"
"What?"
Roxanne heard Harrison’s words clearly, but she felt somewhat embarrassed. Was he being that direct?
"People often say that women's sexual desires become stronger when they reach thirty. Ms. Martinez, you're twenty-eight now, so your desires in that regard should be quite strong. But I cannot be with a woman I have no emotional connection with, so after marriage, I won't be able to fulfill your sexual needs. Think carefully about marriage and getting a certificate before making a decision."
Suddenly, Roxanne didn't feel as awkward anymore. After all, they were both adults. It's a good thing that Harrison can discuss the intimate aspects of a relationship so openly and directly. She also agreed with his viewpoint.
However, from his words, she felt as though he believed that at twenty-eight, her sexual needs would become very intense.
This made her suddenly feel a bit displeased, so she replied, "Vincent, I can't be with a man I have no emotional connection with either. You can rest assured that by marrying you, I only want to resolve certain current issues and find someone to share my life with. As for other matters, I truly have no intentions."
She had been single for seven years, and now suddenly getting married had a reason behind it.
A week ago, while on a business trip with her good friend's husband, he knocked on her hotel room door, abruptly embraced her, and confessed that he liked her and wanted to have sex with her.
She was terrified. She didn't know where the strength came from, and she fiercely hit him with an object.
After returning from the business trip, she had initially planned to leave Seraphim Haven. However, she had started a small company with her friend and her husband, and all her income came from there. Additionally, she was still paying for a house, so she couldn't leave immediately and had to frequently encounter this man.
She had thought about telling her good friend many times, but she was afraid her friend wouldn't be able to accept this harsh reality, so she swallowed the words every time.
She hadn't betrayed her friend, but her friend's husband's confession made Roxanne feel extremely guilty. So, she wanted to get married as soon as possible. As for how to handle her friend's husband, that would require long-term consideration.
She met Harrison through Harrison's father. At that time, after experiencing a heartbreak, she went to Marientown and encountered Vincent, who was also lost. They faced a wolf attack together.
They didn't explicitly know who saved whom, but in any case, they fought together and became friends. Later, they were taken to the hospital and lost contact.
Until three months ago, they coincidentally ran into each other, and Vincent unexpectedly learned that she had been single all these years, so he introduced his son to her.
In fact, she had been chatting with Harrison on WhatsApp for three months. Although it was said to be three months, in reality, they only exchanged a few sentences.
When she saw Harrison, she didn't expect him to be so attractive in appearance. If he entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely be a god-like figure. And he exuded a special aura.
But Roxanne wasn't particularly interested in handsome men, so her interest in him wasn't strong.
At this moment, Harrison furrowed his brow and said, "Actually, I don't quite agree with this marriage, and I didn't expect to get the marriage certificate so soon."
Roxanne suddenly didn't know what to do. He didn’t want to get the marriage certificate? Did that mean she’d remain single?
She immediately began to persuade him as best as she could. "I heard from Vincent that you have two houses in Seraphim Haven, you have a small business, and you have some savings. But all of these are your pre-marital assets. To avoid property disputes after marriage, I've prepared this prenuptial agreement. I don't want any of your two houses or savings.
"Besides, my good friend and I have started a small company, and our income is relatively stable. If you have any difficulties with your business, I can also help financially. If you have any other requests, as long as it's not something illegal, I can agree to it."
She handed him the prenuptial agreement, but Harrison didn't take it. He stared at her with deep eyes, and his thoughts were unreadable. "In that case, won't you be at a disadvantage?"
"There's no disadvantage," Roxanne replied firmly. "Those were originally your pre-marital assets. I never thought about relying on a man to support me, nor did I intend to take advantage of him. Besides, a good marriage should be about mutual support and equal treatment."
Such an independent woman? Harrison was somewhat surprised. His gaze deepened, and there was a subtle hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at her.
Before coming here, he had done some research. The true reason Roxanne met her father was just as her father said, they happened to meet and became friends.
Roxanne had no knowledge of the true strength of the Rodriguez family, nor did she intentionally approach her father. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known her father for seven years without making any requests to the Rodriguez family.
