After saying that, Felicia was secretly pleased with herself. Patrick is obviously testing me. Thankfully, I'm very clever. Even if I've had more than ten boyfriends, I'll never tell him that.
Contrary to hers, Patrick's expression gradually darkened. Having believed that the dream was arranged by Hector, he thought that she was the person he was looking for when his grandfather regained consciousness and requested that he marry the eldest daughter of the Ashton family.
However, it seems like I was wrong.
“I arranged this meeting today because I wish to make a deal with you, Ms. Ashton.”
With that said, he took out an agreement and placed it in front of her.
Felicia had never met a man like that. Didn't he ask me out because he likes me? Why are we making a deal now?
Puzzled, she looked through the threepaged agreement, only managing to
understand the simpler sections.
“You want me to be in a fake marriage with you, Mr. Lowen?”
Patrick nodded. “It's a one-year agreement, and I have the right to terminate it in advance. Before that, you can enjoy all the privileges of being my wife and receive thirty million in compensation upon its termination.”
Felicia was enticed as soon as he mentioned the privileges of being his wife. After all, he was very well-known in Avenport, and many women wished to marry him.
If I carry his name, no one will dare to bully me again when I go out in the future. Everyone in the Ashton family will also treat me differently, and Grandpa may even hand over the right of inheritance to me. If I manage to win over his heart within this year and become his wife officially, that'll be even better!
Despite the excitement within her, she suppressed it and maintained her calm expression.
“Why me, Mr. Lowen?”
It must be my beauty that has attracted him! She puffed out her chest and cast a charming smile.
“Because it's my grandpa's wish, and he's seriously ill, so I wish to fulfill it.”
Patrick had been looking for that woman, and despite not being able to make out whether it was a dream or reality, he did give her a ring, and that proved that it was not a dream.
Previously, he had always thought that it was his grandfather who had drugged him to force him into marriage. However, it did not seem to be the case.
Even so, I won't give up. I must find her.
