When Louisa answered the phone, Jocelyn was sitting next to his mother. However, he also couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He went up to his room and closed the door, and after a while he said:
"Do you need the money that much?"
Louisa laughed, a forced smile, she said:
"Must too! I need money. Because only with money can I save my younger brother."
Jocelyn says:
"Do you not care about the future? Even if you accept to marry someone like me who have only met a few times?"
Louisa bluntly said:
"Don't you want to marry me? Why ask so much? Will you accept it then?"
At that moment, Jocelyn's mood could only be said to be one of surprise and confusion. This was a strange feeling to him, no one had ever been able to make him so passive, perhaps that was also what Jocelyn liked most about Louisa. After a few seconds of silence, Jocelyn smiled and said:
"Okay, so be it! When you're ready to marry me, just come to my company to find me, if anyone asks who you are, just say you're my sister to avoid unnecessary rumors, so I'll hang up!"
The call ended, and Louisa sat in a dark motel room, without a single light like her dim future. The happiest thing for a woman is to find a husband who makes both of them happy, yet even that basic thing, Louisa can't decide. She looked around, and her tears began to fall unconsciously, her life was so miserable that Louisa thought about death many times but every time she was about to commit suicide, she couldn't bear it because if she did then her younger brother will have no place to rely on. In this life, Louisa may not be happy and may suffer, but she will absolutely try to make Eric happy...
The next morning, as usual, Jocelyn woke up quite early, and he went out for a jog. This time, when she opened the gate, Jocelyn was startled by a girl in a white dress with her head down in front of the gate. Hearing Jocelyn's footsteps, the girl raised her head, Jocelyn suddenly realized it was Louisa. She stood up wearily, almost unsteady, so Jocelyn hurried to help her. Although he was very worried for Louisa, he just coldly said:
"What did you come here for? Have you been here since last night until now?"
Louisa nodded, she took the initiative to grab Jocelyn's sleeve and leave the splendid mansion. Having gone far enough, Louisa let go of Jocelyn's hand, and the two walked slowly down the deserted road. Jocelyn remembered the arrogant, cold girl he'd met a few months earlier with his current girl, Jocelyn said:
"If you need money, I will give it to you. But, if you want to be married to me, You must enough think before making the decision!"
Louisa laughed, she said indifferently:
"How about marrying me? I heard that you know a lot of girls but never thought of getting married, should I be proud of being that special girl who made you change your mind?"
Louisa's words really made Jocelyn undeniable, he could only laugh and reply:
"You are wrong! Why don't you think I want to marry you because you're the cheapest of all the girls I've ever met?"
Louisa said without hesitation:
"I don't care. Whether it's marrying you or even the most abusive, miserable man in the world, I don't care. I only have Eric as the only relative in this world! If my happiness is the price to pay for Eric's life, then I am ready. Life has been too cruel to me, it's okay to be a little worse!"
This was the first time Jocelyn met a girl with the same bravery as Louisa. Her words really touched Jocelyn about the feelings of Louisa. This is the kind of love that Jocelyn can hardly touch in this lifetime. He lives a life without money but is a beggar of affection. No one in this world truly loves him, not even his parents.
Louisa stopped, she looked Jocelyn straight in the eye, and she said:
"I… really want to marry you. Incorrect! I really need you! Although I don't know what you want from a poor, useless girl like me, please marry me, I need your money... if I can save my brother's life with your money, I will live a life of being your illegitimate wife, I'll do whatever you want, you can marry someone new if you get bored with me or maybe even have an affair if you want, I don't care.. ."
Jocelyn's eyes were bloodshot. In the end, he convinced Louisa also because of the money, all for the money. He was heartbroken because he really wanted to conquer her with true love, not cheap money. Even so, Jocelyn still smiled while his heart ached, he smiled faintly:
"Okay! Let's married! This time tomorrow, I will bring the marriage application to this location. At the same time tomorrow, you will officially become mine!"
At that moment, Jocelyn was startled by the sound of something falling, he reflexively turned back, and in front of his eyes was Linda - an extremely close friend of since childhood. Linda dropped the coffee in her hand because she overheard the conversation between Louisa and Jocelyn, she trembled as she looked at Jocelyn and said:
"Is what I heard just now true? That you really liked and married this woman? Someone you've only met a few times?"
