“Lydia, about me and Curtis, at least for now, we’re serious. As for the future, I honestly don’t know.” She didn’t dare tell Lydia about their contract marriage. It would only make her worry and if they divorced later, how could she explain it then?

Lydia nodded. “As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. But if one day he treats you badly, then divorce him. Don’t ever make yourself miserable for anyone.”

Adriana nodded.

After helping Lydia coax the orphans to nap, Adriana brought Curtis to the backyard of the orphanage.

“I grew up here,” she said

Curtis looked at her. “Did your birth parents ever come looking for you?”

Adriana sat on the swing and shook her head. “A few couples who’d lost children came before, but test results were always disappointing.”

Each time, those parents left heartbroken and Adriana was left with disappointment.

“There were also a few kind families who adopted me. But after a few years, they had their own kids. Then I became the burden and they sent me back.” Adriana said softly, smiling a little helplessly.

Curtis’s body stiffened. He instinctively raised his hand to touch Adriana but let it drop. “You have a home

now.”

Adriana paused, then abruptly turned to look at Curtis.

Well, that’s true. Through this contract marriage, she had gained a home of her own.

Curtis even gave her the luxury Clarke Residence that worth hundreds of millions to her.

But was a house could represent home?

If she wasn’t wandering anymore, did that really mean she had one?

“Mr. Curtis, it’s a call from Mr. Harold.” The assistant ran up behind them and handed the phone to Curtis.

He frowned and stepped aside. “Grandpa.”

“When are you bringing Adriana back?” Harold asked.

“We are flying tonight and will arrive tomorrow,” Curtis replied, then added, “Grandpa, she’s timid. Please don’t scare hef.”

Harold was silent for a long moment before speaking again. “You know the condition I set for letting you marry her.”

Curtis frowned and gripped his phone tight. “Yes.”

“As soon as Nicole is found, you’ll divorce Adriana and marry her.”

His expression darkened. “Yes.”

“I heard from Jeremy that they have a lead on Nicole. You should make arrangements soon,” Harold said, warning Curtis to quickly settle things with Adriana.

“Then we’ll talk when they actually find her,” Curtis said flatly, hanging up.

He irritably tossed the phone to his assistant and looked at Adriana, who was sitting on the swing.

“Adriana.”

She stopped swinging and looked at him, puzzled.

“Let’s have a child,” Curtis said in a low voice.

“W–what?!” Adriana was shocked.

“You still have a few months before graduation, and your language program lasts half a year. After that, you’ll have a few months of vacation. If we start now, it’s still possible before you go abroad.” Curtis looked at Adriana.

Adriana started to panic.

She had been enjoying the benefits of their contract, but she hadn’t really paid any price for it.

Was this the price now?

Did she have to give him a child?

After dinner at the orphanage, they left for the airport.

Adriana was restless the entire way. to the airport.

Do I really need to have a baby?

With Curtis?

“If you’re uncomfortable, we can do it through the IVF.” Curtis offered a second option.

Adriana looked up the entire IVF process. It involved constant injections and medication, as well as surgery to retrieve the eggs.

Since they were already legally married, if she acted too reserved, it might seem a bit overly sensitive.

“No need,” she murmured. Her palms started sweating. “I’ll track my ovulation days and tell you.”

Adriana stammered. This was also part of the job and she had to treat it seriously.

Curtis glanced at Adriana and showed a hint of faint smile through his eyes, but he said nothing.

She pulled out her phone, opening her cycle–tracking app. Her ovulation day was in three days.
