Chapter 2 Conditions

With the Anger, frustration and hormonal imbalance, Lise's hand tingled from the slap. This..this bastard, a slap wasn't enough. She wished she could hit him again.

Lise glared at him with red eyes, and the man's eyes carried a hint of anger, alongside confusion after the surprise.

Everyone present was obviously shocked, others petrified. It took some minutes for them to regain their composure.

Victor got out of the car and rushed to Lise pushing her away from Louis. “ what is wrong with you, hitting people randomly like this!”

He stood between Louis and Lise, pointing his hand in her face. Only to be pushed aside by Louis.

Lise took out the five thousand won, and threw them at Louis. “ Take your money back, I don't want it”

The money fluttered, landing on the ground close to his shoe. He frowned, looked down at the money , and then back up to see that the girl had walked away.

Victor was stunned, until he saw that the phone in Louis' hand was his own. He suddenly realised that he made a grave mistake and turned pale. “ Um… Boss. You took… took the wrong phone.”

Their phones were both black, and he sat beside Louis for the meeting with Ankis.

Louis had a stern expression, while victor was sweating trying to explain.

“Mr. Reed, I don't know that woman. She's the crazy woman that messaged me, claiming she was pregnant with my child. She asked me where I was, I gave her the address so we could settle it. I really don't know her.”

Victor tried his best to explain the situation. Because if he doesn't, he might have to take a 6 month work trip. The thought of it, weakened him.

But, Louis frowned and asked him “ what did you just say?”

“I said, I really don't know her”

“No, the previous statement”

“ I wanted to sort it out”

“ No, the other one”

“ She said she's pregnant with my …”

“Arrange a meeting with her, I want to see her”

“What!”

At the café, Louis was already sitting by the window looking out. When Lise approached, she sounded angry.“What do you want from me? Didn't I give the money back!

Louis looked up at her, quickly scanned her up and down. His gaze rested on her stomach. “ You're pregnant?”

Lise couldn't laugh. “ Do you think I would lie to you? What do you have that's worth lying for?”

Louis frowned, this is the first time someone has looked down on him. He also didn't want to argue with her, stating his decision. “ Then, have the baby”

“Huh?” She was taken aback by his decision to keep the baby. She had prepared a line of insults, but it died in her throat.

“ I thought you didn't believe me!” Louis stared at her with a serious expression. “ This is not a matter to joke with.”

Seeing his acceptance of the pregnancy, Lise's face softened a bit. Recalling what the doctor said, “If you terminate the baby, you have a high risk of losing your life or you may never be able to have children again”

It seems like her fate has been forged already. If she still presses on with the abortion, she might die. It was clear that she had to give birth to the baby. But for that she would need a birth certificate, a marriage certificate too. Otherwise the child would be branded as an illegal resident. And might face problems in education and in life by being labelled a Bastard.

Lise looked at the man in front of her again. His face was handsome and flawless, with fair skin and masculine features, with two shades of blue eyes. He wasn't wearing branded clothes, but they didn't look cheap either. He looked cold and imposing.

She remembered him saying he didn't have money.

“ Oh, you spent all your money on clothes? Lise asked directly

“Yes.” Louis replied.

“Then, what do you do for a living now? She asked again.

“ I do a lot.” Louis replied in a cooperative tone.

Lise was silent. He had no stable job, and an unstable income too. The only thing he had going for him was his good looks.

“Where do you live?” Lise took a deep breath and asked.

“In Gyeongsang.” Louis replied.

That was the suburbs. “ What about your savings?” Lise asked.

“ I'm not sure!” Louis frowned. He had many assets and properties under his name. But, he was sure of the total worth.

And Nelly wanted to get her married to him. He has nothing, that's why she went through a lot of trouble to stage the night..

Lise was displeased. “ How much did Nelly pay you?” How much money was it worth, ruining her life?

“Nelly? I don't know anyone named Nelly? Louis replied with his brows furrowed.

“If you claim not to know Nelly, how did you end up there that night?” Lise asked, feeling he was lying.

“ I don't know how I got there, but everything happens for a reason. Not because of the person called Nelly.” Louis responded in a calm tone.

Seeing he had no look of insincerity. Because, knowing the kind of person Nelly is, if she knows the father of the child. She would have dragged it out and humiliated her long ago. Lise accepted the fact that he wasn't lying.

After taking the water, she placed the glass in her hand on the table. “ Fine, I will give birth to this child, but I have some conditions”

“State it.” Louis squinted his eyes. He would pay any amount of money she calls, he just wanted the child.

“ First, you must marry me”

Louis was stunned. His brows slightly furrowed.

“Secondly, after we get married. Our relationship must be kept closed. I won't meet your family, you won't meet mine. You have to move in with me, also you don't have to give me any money. All you have to do is look after the child at home.”

Louis came back to his senses. A small smile flickered from his eyes. But disappeared in an instant.

Did he just hear right? This woman wa

nted him to stay home and take care of the child. And she wanted to give him money.

Him! Louis Xian.
