New Contract
1336 Words
"I can act as your girlfriend and help you deal with your family. During this period, you can help me investigate the cause of my parents' death and also help me take my company back."
After saying this, Lina looked at Adrian nervously. This was the most suitable way she came up with after thinking about it all night.
"You want to leave after that?" Adrian's voice was cold, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes.
Can he take this as Lina didn't want to marry him, but just wanted to use his power to take revenge?
He, Adrian Evans, was rejected by a woman?
Oh well.
Lina was really very courageous.
"I am not sure." Lina shook her head, "This matter is up to you to decide."
"What do you mean?" Adrian frowned, looking at Lina with a little more scrutiny.
Since Lina didn't want to run away from him, why not just marry him directly?
She does not want to be his wife, but girlfriend. Is Lina playing hard to get? Or does she think that the conditions he gave were not good enough?
A slight smile appeared on Lina's face, with a bit of self-deprecation.
"I want to get along with you first to see if I fill all the requirements that you want in your wife. If you are still not tired of me after dealing with all those things mentioned in the contract, then you can consider marrying me."
Aunt Mary had persuaded her last night. She said that Adrian's private life has been clean for so many years, and she is the only woman around Adrian.
Although he said that he only had a good impression of her, this kind of affection was unprecedented.
So, Aunt Mary persuaded Lina to seize the opportunity and not care about the so-called contract. Adrian just can��t express his feelings on his face, but his heart is very pure and good.
Lina didn't think too much about this. She only knew that the only person she could rely on now was Adrian Evans and she couldn't provoke him.
However, she also didn't want to be confused and marry the wrong person again. Firstly, she needs to know when the death of her parents will be investigated, and she hopes it will be as soon as possible.
"If... you are no longer interested in me at that time, or you came to like someone else, you should reconsider my decision to leave or stay, and I promise not to do anything that will damage your reputation."
She opened her mouth cautiously, keeping her posture extremely low, and clearly stated her thoughts.
Marrying the wrong person may not only lead to divorce, but also to death. Hasn't she experienced it once already?
Adrian stared at the woman in front of him and wanted to laugh a little.
After so much preparation, she still wanted to leave. But he couldn't get angry now.
It's a pity that Lina didn't know that from the day he saw her, he never thought about letting her go.
He curled his lips and said one word, "Okay."
Lina breathed a sigh of relief. This outcome made her feel a little more relaxed.
Adrian instructed his assistant to prepare a new contract according to Lina's wishes. He signed his name and handed the contract to Lina. Lina hesitated for a moment, then looked for the ink pad and pressed her fingers on it and then at the document.
Legally, Lina is dead and her current identity is Ava Jones. But neither of these two names seems to be suitable for signing the document.
Adrian raised his lips in satisfaction. Lina��s actions were really smart.
He handed the contract to his assistant and said, "The trial for Victoria's case of causing intentional injury will be held today. Do you want to witness the trial?"
Lina's heart tightened and her hatred resurfaced, but she still shook her head.
She is not ready to meet the people of the Blake family yet. When she reappears, she will definitely take back everything that belongs to her in the best possible way.
"Okay, then you have a good rest and I will inform you the results of the trial."
Adrian didn't wait any longer and left immediately.
During lunch, Lina received a call from Adrian and she learned from him that Victoria had been sentenced to ten years in prison for causing intentional injury, but the Blake family did not appeal to reduce the sentence.
Lina didn't feel much hearing this. She just touched her flat abdomen and lowered her eyes quietly.
Victoria has already paid the price for her child's life. But the Blake family has yet to pay the price for her own life and her parents' life!
It was dark and the sound of a car came from outside.
Lina hurried to the door and opened the door within a few minutes. Seeing Adrian, Lina laughed immediately, but there was a bit of uncontrollable nervousness in her heart.
"You're back."
"Yeah." Adrian responded. Looking at the long white dress on Lina's body, a bit of warmth appeared in his eyes.
He strode into the room and handed his coat to Lina.
Lina took it naturally and hung it on the coat hanger and followed him in.
It has been more than a month since she was discharged from the hospital. Lina and Adrian returned to the country and started living in a formal cohabitation.
It's just that, Lina's nerves have been tense since the past month, and she has absolutely no way to treat Adrian Evans as a normal boyfriend. Because her relationship with Adrian is clearly only contractual.
"Why aren��t you sitting down?" Adrian sat on the sofa and looked up at Lina.
Lina nodded and immediately sat down. Seeing this, Adrian frowned.
"Why are you still so thin?"
She was really thin, and her slender body seemed to sink into the luxurious leather sofa.
The photo that Ronny showed him that day came into Adrian��s mind and he couldn��t help frowning even more.
The Lina in front of him did not have the tranquility and beauty she had in the photo at all. There was a feeling of undisguised unease in her fragility.
This was not what Adrian wanted to see.
"Is there anything that you wanted to say?" He looked at Lina and asked.
Lina was extra active today. Obviously, something had happened.
"Mr. Evans, I..."
Adrian's brows suddenly wrinkled, and Lina immediately changed her words.
"Adrian, my body has fully recovered now. Can I find a job or something to do?"
She opened her mouth tentatively, carefully looking at Adrian's expression.
Lina knew her position very clearly. She was not Adrian's real girlfriend, but a subordinate.
The good thing about this relationship is cooperation, but the bad thing is that she was being taken care of by Adrian.
In short, the dominance of this relationship is in the hands of Adrian Evans.
Adrian closed his eyes slightly, "What do you want to do?"
"Before, you arranged for me to study in the management company at country M. Now, can I continue my studies here?"
Lina has been taking care of her body for more than a month, and she still hasn��t started taking her revenge on the Blake family yet.
This made Lina feel powerless and anxious.
Her gentle voice conveyed a slight tension and urgency, and Adrian couldn't refuse her request after hearing such a voice.
"Okay."
Lina was overjoyed, "Thank you!"
Adrian frowned, "You don��t need to say these two words to me."
Adrian didn't like it when she thanked him for doing things because it made him feel that there was a distance between them.
Without waiting for Lina to speak again, he got up and went upstairs.
Lina looked at Adrian's back in a daze, and her heart throbbed uncontrollably.
Adrian doesn��t want her say "thank you.�� What does that mean?
Is it...?
