True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1654

When Maria went to take a bath, Liam took the opportunity to go and look for Ernest.

Ernest's room was on the third floor. When Liam reached, he knocked on the door.

When Ernest opened the door and saw Liam standing there, he was momentarily surprised, but then he smiled. "Liam, what is it?"

"Can I come in?" asked Liam.

"Of course," Ernest replied with a smile. "But Leah and I are on a video call. She had to memorize something for her studies, and I'm helping her to go through it. Come in."

"What a coincidence. I need to ask your girlfriend for help too," Liam said.

"You need Leah's help?" Ernest turned to look at him. "Is it about the contract between Maria and you?"

Liam had brought up the matter to Ernest and Gary in private before, but he did not expect Liam to be so anxious.

"Yes, you're right." Liam nodded.

The moment he entered the door, he saw Leah on the phone screen. She waved at him and said, "Hello, famous idol. How are you?"

"Hello, Miss Winston," Liam replied. "I need your help."

"If I can be of any help to my idol, that would be my honor," Leah said candidly without refusing him. Then, she smiled and asked, "So, what's the matter?"

Liam looked at Ernest.

Ernest sat down and said, "Liam was wondering if you'd be able to help with drawing up a contract between him and Maria. He wants to be signed to Maria in the future."

"All of it? For the rest of his life?" she asked, surprised.

"Yes, that's right."

"A contract for life," she echoed, shaking her head. "Is there really such a contract? That would be so unfair."

"Ours is a unique case. I want to let Maria handle everything work- wise, so she'll have complete control over me. It also represents my promise to her. However, since I'm not familiar with the legal terms, I thought to ask for your help, Miss Winston," Liam explained.

"Just call me Leah," she said immediately.

"Okay. Leah, will you please help me draw up the contract?" Liam asked, his tone serious.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at Ernest. "Ernest, what do you think?"

Ernest looked at her, then said, "I think that you can help them draft a contract first. After Maria graduates, she'll surely need a lot of help on the legal side of things as well. At that time, you could be her legal counsel. After all, you know each other and get along well. This is fate."

Liam was momentarily stunned, then he broke into a smile. "That's right, Ernest has really thought of it all. Leah, you could really be Maria's legal counsel in the future."

She laughed. "I don't even have a lawyer's license yet. I need to take the exam first."

"That won't be a difficult thing for you," Ernest replied, giving her an encouraging smile.

Leah nodded. "Okay, I'll consider what you said. Let me know more about the requirements of the contract. I'll help you draft one and send it to you tomorrow. After that, we can continue to check if it needs to be modified."

"That's awesome. Sorry to trouble you." Then, he smiled at her and said, "I won't disturb you two anymore. I'll leave now."

Leah chuckled. "All right then. Bye."

After Liam left, Ernest looked at Leah tenderly. "Drawing up the contract will take up a lot of your time and delay all the memorizing you have to do."

She did not seem to mind. "It's fine. This is a real-world experience. I can use what I've memorized. It'll be like a test for me."

That was just how Leah was. To her, nothing was impossible.

Seeing her determination and dedication, Ernest felt happy and encouraged.

"Remember, this contract is like a contribution agreement. He is determined to give himself to Maria for the rest of his life," Ernest reminded her.

Leah nodded. "He truly loves her and is so invested in their relationship. Even I have to give it to him."

Seeing how invested she was in Liam's love story, Ernest smiled slightly and said, "Do you want me to sign one with you too?"

Leah was stunned, but she immediately shook her head, "No, I'm not an agent. I can't support you."

He looked into her eyes and said, "Sign me up, and I'll give you everything. I'll give you my soul and every penny that I earn."

"No," she replied. "Don't tease me. It's not easy for me to concentrate on memorizing. I won't be able to concentrate if you tease me."

He smiled. "I am being serious."

Leah rolled her eyes and said, "Okay then, but I don't want your money. I just want one thing."

"What's that?" he asked.

Leah thought for a while before saying, "Ernest, I want all of your tiny little 'tadpoles'. You're not allowed to give it to any other woman. You can only give it to me."

He started coughing loudly, completely shocked by her words.

Leah had a knack for saying such shocking things. Ernest thought to himself.
