Let Me Go, My Ex-husband novel Chapter 8

"What do you want?" Since it was a deal, there must be conditions.

"One month, I'll divorce you after we've been married for a month." One month was enough time, as soon as she got her mother's dowry back, she would divorce him.

Hugo frowned, "That's the deal you want to make with me?"

"Yes, we must get married, this is the agreement of our mothers, neither of us can break it, since this is the respect for them. But after that, we divorce because of personality clashes as a matter of course. In this way there will be no agreement to be broken, and you don't have to live with someone you don't like for the rest of your life, which does you no harm but only good..."

Speaking of this, Lindsay's tone was softer, "Mr. Jones, I guess you must have someone you like, so you do everything you can to get the Forrest family to break the agreement, right?"

Hugo's face darkened abruptly, and he was in a sulk, "I didn't know you were quite clever."

Yes, he wanted to give a name of wife to Judith White. He was touched by her youth and reluctance at the time.

Hugo's eyes fixed on her face with feigned calmness, "What about you, what good does this month of marriage do to you?"

Hugo did not think that she was only thinking about him.

Lindsay felt tight in mind, she couldn't say it was for her mother's dowry, could she?

But if she didn't give a reason, he wouldn't seem to believe it.

"My mother takes this engagement very seriously, and she's not well, so I don't really want to let her down." She was slightly shifty-eyed as she spoke, because she had lied and her mother did not want her to marry into the Jones family at all.

Hugo's tone was inexplicably eerie and intimidating, as if he was reading her mind, "Is that so?"

Lindsay felt uneasy and nervous. His eyes were too sharp, as if they could penetrate the mind. Just when she was at a loss as to what to do, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Hugo looked askance at her and took out his phone, when he saw the name displayed on it, his expression softened a bit, and turned around to answer the phone. He seemed to think of something else and turned back, "Since it's for a month, there's no need for us to have a wedding."
