"Could you... could you possibly help me deceive my mother? I really don't want to upset her any more, and I truly don't know when I'll manage to find a girlfriend of my own... Just pretend this child is mine, let's have a fake marriage. This will put my parents' concern to rest. After marriage, your child can be registered as well.
