H—e emphasized the word 'satisfied'.
It stabbed into her heart like a bayonet.
"I thought that your relationship with Mona had improved." she said trembling slightly.
"I won't listen to that. What I asked is, are you satisfied, eh?" William asked as he stared at her, waiting for her answer.
Alice had never seen him like this. He made them seem as if he was questioning her, a heartless person.
"William, you don't need to be like this."
She only hoped that he would not be hurt. She only felt that he could have a better life with Mona, and he wouldn't be dragged by her.
She thought he had figured it all out.
She thought that he was about to lead a brand - new life, back to the path that he should walk.
"Alice, why are you so annoyed? Are you satisfied or not, is it that difficult to answer?" William pursed his lips in displeasure.
At this time, if she said unsatisfied that will misfortune him. Just like what he had said that what should come was coming. The arrow was on the bow, so she had no choice but to release it.
She had to let him engaged, or he would get hurt again.
Now that he had reached this step, he couldn't turn back.
"Satisfied." Alice slowly said, every word slicing her throat. She said it easily, "The engagement ceremony of president Cullen is the most interesting event in the entire world right now, so the whole world is looking forward to it. How could anyone be dissatisfied?"
"Is that so? As long as you are satisfied. " William chuckled and stared at her, "You're satisfied now, we can talk about our deal now."
"Deal?"
Alice looked at him, puzzled.
William was not in a hurry to answer. He picked up the booklet, looking at the two diamond characters "ON", "This booklet was made pretty good right? I designed the cover, do you like it?"
Alice sat at the end of the bed, slowly lowering her body and taking off the leather ropes on her feet.
When she held the leather rope in her hand, Alice realized that this leather rope was something William had used to tie her up. She should have realized long ago that it wasn't the Cullen who wanted to kill her.
"The North Bay had never been developed before, but now that it has. The scenery becomes very beautiful."
William said as he flipped through the book in his hand.
William sat there, his hand resting on the back of the chair. Alice saw the exquisite watch on his wrist, and it was eight in the morning, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still not going to engagement ceremony?"
It was already eight o'clock.
Guests should have arrived one after another, how could he still sit here?
Alice turned her head and saw Daniel standing outside the glass door with an anxious expression on his face. He continuously opened his pocket watch to check the time, pacing back and forth on the spot.
"How am I going to attend the ceremony if I don't finish the deal with you?"
William said as he looked at her with a pair of black eyes.
"What kind of deal can you make with me?
What can I give you?" Alice asked in confusion. She had no idea what William was thinking at all.
Right now, she was just a single mother struggling on the brink of death. What could she give him? What could she, who was so 'poor', do with him? She didn't even have the capital.
"You."
William stared at her, and slowly said it from the thin lips.
Alice looked at him in shock, and said hesitantly, "I don't understand what you mean, you are getting engaged today. Do you want me to be your lover?"
One at home.
Another outside.
Did he think so?
But he had promised her freedom.
"I think you're thinking too much." William mocked and sneered, his black eyes staring fixedly at her. He slowly placed the hard book into her hands, and said word by word, "I want you to be this engagement ceremony's bride."
"Bam."
Alice was unable to catch the booklet, so the booklet fell to the ground. She looked at William with a pale face, unable to believe what she had said, "What did you say?"
She was the bride?
She didn't hear wrong, right?
"You don't love me anymore, so it's just a deal between us." William looked at her and said coldly, "You become my bride, I will protect you and the Browns, including going back Holy. The auditorium is located 500 meters away, if you nod your head, I will bring you there right now."
Alice looked at his handsome face in a daze, "Are you joking?"
This was a marriage between two nobles, and everything was prepared and planned. But now, he told her that he wanted her to be his bride?
