Chapter 684
Joanne stretched her neck and glanced at the contract. The first term written was about the duties of husband and wife.
Joanne blushed and threw the contract back to Edwin. "We're not even close at all."
If she had not been mistaken she was pregnant, they would barely know each other.
Edwin supported Joanne with one arm on the side of her head, which was very oppressive in her eyes, she then habitually stepped back. Meanwhile, his other hand wound around her waist as he stepped forward and pressed her into him.
With her chest pressed against her, Joanne's dense eyelashes quivered. "W—Wait..."
"It doesn't matter." Edwin leaned over slightly. His impish gaze seemed full of brilliance in the instant.
Joanne stammered, "I—I'm not as good as those chicks of yours..."
"Grandma is in a good mood knowing that you're pregnant with her little great-grandson. I don't want to upset her. This is just to keep your lie true."
Joanne had heard Edwin talking about his grandma several times but never met his grandma in person once.
She bit her lip and muttered softly, albeit somewhat annoyed, "I'm not a machine for you to give birth to children."
Her cheeks were slightly puffed out—round, and smooth—and her eyes were translucent under the cover of her bangs.
To Edwin, the sight merely beguiled him.
Edwin suddenly let go of her and said blankly, "Don't insult the word 'machine'. At least machines can produce tons of products."
Joanne was speechless when she realized that Edwin was satirizing her fertility.
"Sign it, then pack up and go home with me," said Edwin huskily.
Joanne wanted to reject him, but gazing at his gloomy expression, she knew she would only frustrate him even more if she resisted. " Why should I pack up and go home with you?
"And, what about my request to terminate the contract with you?" Joanne asked him boldly, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Edwin raised her enchanting lips slightly and said with certainty, " You won't be able to find another entertainment company that treats you better than Worldwide Entertainment in Sapphire city. If being popular isn't your cup of tea, I'll terminate the contract as you wish."
Joanne struggled silently for a while before looking down at the contract. The second term was about giving birth to children. The first child was stated to be born within one year, and the second child was within five years.
At this moment, she had a foreboding feeling that she had sold herself as a birth-giving machine to Edwin.
