Bella Scott looked straight back at him: "I'm serious, no joke. I heard about your situation. You don't want to marry Saylor Bennett and are looking for a woman to marry. It just so happens that I also want to get married, and we are quite compatible. After we get married, I guarantee I won't restrict you in any way - you can do whatever you want!"
"Including finding other women outside?" Edward Anderson leaned lazily on the sofa and asked softly.
"I really don't like playboys, but we will have a contract marriage, and I can understand your physiological needs. So, you do your thing and I won't interfere at all," Bella Scott replied readily.
Edward Anderson's eyes shifted slightly, and his long fingers rotated the glass, reflecting his slightly gloomy profile.
Bella Scott waited a long time for Edward Anderson's answer and became a bit impatient: "Can you give me an answer?"
Edward Anderson grinned: "I have many women to choose from, but you don't have time. As far as I know, your uncle plans to marry you off in a week."
Bella Scott knew that she couldn't hide this from Edward Anderson, so she used this as a bargaining chip: "Speaking of which, you are the root cause of all this. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have lost my reputation, and you're fully responsible."
She squeezed in to sit next to Edward Anderson, "We can have a one-year contract marriage. You can avoid a family marriage alliance, and I don't need to marry an old man. It's a win-win for both of us. After all, we grew up together, and we're like siblings. We can just settle for this. Tomorrow is Monday, and it is an auspicious day for marriage. Our wedding will go smoothly, and so will our divorce in the future..."
Bella Scott talked until she was out of breath, and Edward Anderson still didn't give her a definite answer.
She wasn't in a hurry. After all, her goal tonight was to deceive and trick Edward Anderson.
Once she had used him, she would take the initiative to propose a divorce, avenging the broken engagement two years ago.
Bella Scott spent some more time describing the benefits of marrying her. Sensing that Edward Anderson was wavering, she seized the opportunity: "Just sign the paper. I'll tell you, marrying me is definitely a good deal for you!"
Edward Anderson pushed Bella Scott's face away, "Bring paper and pen over here!"
Bella Scott didn't know what he was up to, but followed his instructions. Ten minutes later, Edward Anderson wrote down his requirements.
She read word by word: "After marriage, Bella Scott, without Edward Anderson's permission, is not allowed to kiss him, touch him or sleep with him!"
Bella Scott wondered how there could be such a narcissistic man in the world?
It also showed that her decision was right. Marrying Edward Anderson would protect her chastity, and she wouldn't need to worry about him attacking her at night and taking advantage of her.
Edward Anderson had a slight smile on his lips: "You've been pure for so many years; I'm afraid you couldn't help yourself when you see me."
Bella Scott sneered back: "Let me tell you, I've been with enough men, at least a dozen! You must be blind..."
Upon seeing Edward Anderson's fierce look, she immediately changed her tone: "Mr. Anderson always has such rules with integrity. I promise I will never engage in such dirty actions."
After her reply, Bella Scott signed her name in the agreement with style and even added her fingerprint.
"Fine, let's go register tomorrow." Edward Anderson finished and went into the bedroom.
Bella Scott wanted to remind him that it was her bed. But she thought to herself that she hadn't completely won him over yet, so she should tolerate it for now.
