Chapter 149
Anthony stared at her with a serious look and said, “I hope you can be my girlfriend for six months.”
Six months! Girlfriend!
Charmaine’s brows were twisted as she was displeased. “Anthony, why are you thinking about such things during times like these!”
“Ms. Jordan, I’m thinking about this for Momo. Momo’s always wanted a mom, and the only person he really likes after all these years is you. If you consent to this, I believe he can be cured within the next six months. I’ll let you go after that,” Anthony said Charmaine frowned. Half a year? She had to pretend to be Anthony’s girlfriend for the next six months and spend time with Chris as his mommy?
“It’s not nice to lie to kids. I’ll leave one day anyway, and he’ll be more hurt then.”
“It’s a white lie. Can you actually bear to see Momo like this?” Anthony asked.
Thinking about how Chris looked just now, Charmaine felt like her heart was being torn apart by a cat’s jaw.
Why did such a cute child have to go through such pain?
She really hoped that it was the last time Chris had to go through that. She did not want to see him in excruciating pain ever again.
Nial realized she was hesitating about it. He said, “Ms. Jordan, Momo’s case is a little unique. God would not blame you for a white lie. Moreover, I realized that Momo’s situation might take a turn for the worse after doing checks on him just now. If he’s left like that, it might end up hurting his brain and
causing retardation. Every time he has convulsions, he’s on the brink of death. If his willpower or physical strength was a little weaker, he might never wake up again.”
Never wake up again…
Charmaine knew that Nial was not overexaggerating Momo’s situation after seeing how he was just now.
Whenever Momo felt pissed or pretended to be sick, he would still be able to hear anything she said. However, he seemed like he could die today. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She was moved… She was moved because of Momo…
However, was this enough reason for her to spend time with Anthony for the next six months? Did she really have to act as his girlfriend?
Anthony said to her, “Ms. Jordan, don’t you worry. If you don’t want me to, I won’t announce my relationship with you for the next six months. I’ll not affect any plans you have as well. Moreover, I can pay you handsomely. You can tell me anything you want. I won’t do anything you don’t consent to as well.” His speech was serious yet respectful. Charmaine frowned and became deep in thought.
Anthony was basically begging her, and Momo was in such a situation…
It seemed like she had no other choice.
After a brief silence, she said, “Fine, I’ll do it. However, I don’t want to be paid. I want a contract.”
“No worries.” Anthony glanced at Luke.
Luke grabbed a laptop and opened up a Word Document. He said respectfully, “Ms. Jordan, you may begin.”
Charmaine thought about it for a moment and said, “First, you must try your best to find ways to cure Momo in the next six months. Try your very best! Secondly, our relationship isn’t real, so no one can butt into another’s personal life. Thirdly, both parties must keep this private and confidential and tell no one! The fourth condition, there should be no overly flirtatious actions done to one another. Lastly, regardless of Momo being cured or not, I will leave after six months. Anthony cannot use any excuse to make me stay. Both parties are to agree to the terms above, and any party that violates them will be fined a hundred billion USD!
100 billion! Dollars!
Even a powerful family like the Bailey family was only worth 150 billion dollars. They were at the top of Forbes’ richest person list.
Asking for 100 billion dollars would mean giving out two-thirds of the Baileys’ net worth!
Furthermore, other than the first term, everything else on the contract was filled with Charmaine’s rejection of Anthony.
Men were usually the ones signing contracts with women in fear of being entangled with them. However, Charmaine seemed to be the one being afraid of Anthony doing just that?
