Chapter 497 I Will Marry You If You Promise to Be a Witness
This was how Mia hypnotized herself. Sometimes, even she herself would believe it.
“It’s not me.”
“Whether it’s you or not, you have to go to court to testify.””
Mia widened her eyes. She didn’t expect him to be so tough. “Why?!”
“Because I trust her.”
“You believe her?” Mia seemed to have heard a big joke. “What about me? Have you ever considered my feelings? You want me to testify for a murderer who killed my grandma? I can’t do it!”
Huston’s hand, which was in his pocket, suddenly tightened. He knew very well that if he wanted to help Evelyn get through this, this was his final choice. If Mia did not cooperate, then there was really no other way.
“If you’re here for this, then give up. I can’t do it.” Mia sat
weakly on the edge of the bed as if she had lost all her strength. She looked blankly at a certain place, but in fact, she had hated him for a long time.
The man narrowed his eyes, and there was a huge gloom in his chest. “If you agree to testify, I can promise you one thing.”
Mia had a flicker in her eyes, but she didn’t show it
immediately. Instead, she insisted, “I won’t use my grandma’s life as a bargaining chip.”
“Mia,” the man said in a deep voice. He hadn’t called her Mia by her full name recently.
Mia blinked and didn’t say anything.
Huston had already read her mind. He clenched his teeth so hard that they were about to break. His blood roiled in his throat as he squeezed out a sentence with all his might. “If you agree to testify, I can marry you.”
Just like before, the room fell into deathly silence once more. However, unlike before, something was rubbing against each other in the air, causing Huston’s heart to shatter.
No one knew what these words meant to him. Only he knew that the happy life he wanted might never happen again.
But for Evelyn, he was willing to give up, even if she hated him.
As long as she was safe and sound, what was the big deal?
“You’re marrying me for this?” Mia was not as excited
and happy as she had imagined. On the contrary, she felt extremely sad.
Mia had always wanted to know how far she could go for Evelyn. Give up money? Give up his position? Or give up his reputation? However, Mia had never expected that this man would give up his right to be happy for Evelyn.
Since ancient times, how many infatuated men could do this?
Mia didn’t even know how to react. Should she refuse? Even if she knew that he didn’t love her for the sake of comfort, she still couldn’t say no. She wanted to marry this man and own him for too long.
Seeing that she did not speak, Huston thought that she was worried and continued, “Don’t worry. Even if we divorce in the future, Evelyn will never accept me. You know how much she hates you.”
Yes, she knew that, so this was a very tempting deal. It was a tempting deal.
Mia was not in a hurry to agree, nor did she refuse. Instead, she said ambiguously, “Huston, I love you very much, but I don’t want you to use my feelings for you as a bargaining
