Merrick felt a tinge of grievance. Whenever Gillian got swamped with work, she would pay no heed to hum at all. It seemed Grandma had spoken the truth that morning, and he truly needed to make solid plans to seize the cleric-related opportunities soon.

As night fell, Harper and Evelyn told all the other female members to head to rest early, so they could stay energetic enough to sit for the exams the next day.

They were actually filled with jitters deep down. They kept wondering if they would get admitted into the 9th Legion.

Evelyn found herself wide awake in the middle of the night. She typed out a message and sent it to Gillian. “Gillian, do you really think we can pass the exam?”

She instantly regretted sending the text right after hitting send. Gillian was most likely fast asleep at this hour, and she blamed herself for acting so thoughtlessly.

To her surprise, a reply popped up in no time.

“Have faith in yourselves. We are clerics after all. Among all females in Goldspine City, we rank top-notch in academic performance and intellectual capabilities.”

A soft smile spread across Evelyn’s face. All the reference materials Gillian had shared with her in the afternoon covered knowledge they had already learned. Those forgotten contents could easily be memorized again with a quick review.

She then settled down to sleep.

Back on Gillian’s side, her face turned very pale the moment she finished replying to Evelyn’s message.

“Slow down a little, Merrick.”

“I can speak to you slowly, yet I cannot hold back my movements.”

“I really cannot stand this anymore.”

Merrick wrapped his arms around Gillian’s waist, wearing a confused look. “Do you get airsick riding this flying craft?”

The two were piloting a compact miniature aircraft, heading straight toward Wilder Peak.

“That is not the issue here. Are you terrible at controlling this vehicle?”

Gillian was overcome with waves of nausea and felt utterly miserable.

She could not tell if it was motion sickness or pregnancy discomfort, yet she firmly believed Merrick was the sole cause of her unease either way.

“Bear with it a bit longer. We will reach Wilder Peak very soon.”

Merrick felt distressed by her discomfort and eased down the gear lever to slow down the speed Gillian finally started to feel slightly better.

“We’re here now. Let me show you what a precious treasure I have found.”

“Fine then. What kind of rare treasure have you stumbled upon to act all secretive like this?”

“You will find out everything once we land.”

Half an hour earlier, after wrapping up all her daily affairs, Gillian went upstairs to freshen up.

The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, Merrick greeted her with an overly attentive expression and blocked her way right at the doorway.

Gillian swallowed nervously.

“What are you up to? Do you want to take a bath now?”

“I intend to make up for the missed intimate moments.”

With those words, Merrick lifted Gillian up in his arms and strode toward the bathroom.

“Honey, hold on a second!”

Gillian had no choice but to call out that endearing address, which successfully made the troublesome male halt his actions.

Merrick looked utterly delighted. He set Gillian down gently and planted several light kisses on her soft lips.

“Say that again a few more times. I still want to hear it.”

“Honey, I have a business proposal to discuss with you.”

Gillian looped both arms around Merrick’s neck. Though she felt rather bashful in this posture, she decided to use her charm fully to win over this tricky male without hesitation.

“What kind of business deal do you want to strike with me, Gillian?”

Merrick lifted her up once more and changed their location.

Since Gillian had important matters to talk about, he abandoned the idea of staying in the bathroom and carried her straight over to the sofa instead.

Luckily, the air conditioner inside the room was kept running.

Pregnant females were more susceptible to heat, and being held tightly in his arms made restlessness well up inside Gillian.

“Good gains ought not to fall into outsiders’ hands. Take a look at this contract first.”

Gillian tried to sit up straight, yet Merrick’s hand stayed firmly around her waist and stopped her. She gave up struggling and grew a little annoyed, then dropped her body down abruptly. A sharp hiss escaped Merrick’s lips instantly.

“Gillian, are you seriously trying to pick a new spouse?”

“Stop messing around and read this document quickly. We can go inspect the goods right after you finish

it.”

After going through the entire contract Gillian handed over, Merrick rubbed his temples slowly, feeling utterly speechless inside.

“Gillian, what on earth have you discovered that makes you draw up such harsh terms in this contract against me?”

Nearly every clause written on the paper made it clear that Merrick would end up being the one who suffered all losses in this deal.

“Are you doubting me, Merrick?”

“You did not even specify what this deal is about, and want me to sign it blindly. What if you plan to put me up for auction and sell me off?”

There was obvious hurt in Merrick’s tone, for he truly believed Gillian was bold enough to pull off such a
