noticing that her fake smile was back.

“What’s the matter? Worried I’ll slip something in the milk?” Christina laughed. “Relax, if I wanted to pull something shady, I wouldn’t have invited you here in the first place.”

I took a sip of the milk, then decided to turn the conversation to the agreement. “So what exactly is this agreement you mentioned?”

Christina chuckled. “Looks like you’re r

Well, do you

“Of course.”

She pulled a brown paper envelope from her tote bag and handed it to me.

“This is the agreement. Take a look.”

I took it without saying a word.

ent was several pages long, but the main points were simple. There were four key conditions:

Inside, the agreement was

First, after the divorce, she must leave the country immediately and stay out for at least five years.

Second, she can’t mention the child in front of Sean, nor can she use the child for sympathy.

Third, she’s not allowed to have any further intimate interactions with Sen before the divorce.

Fourth, she’d receive a sum of money, and if she wanted to raise the child, Jiang Chuchu would also bear the responsibility for their support until adulthood.

I finished reading and placed the agreement on the table. “I have a few questions about this.”

“What’s the problem?” Christina forced a smile.

I glanced at her, then back at the paper, tapping my fingers lightly on the table. “Why can’t I bring up the child in front of Sean?”

Christina’s eyes flickered, and she responded softly, “Not bringing it up is for your own good.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped your family two years ago, right?

But now he’s going to be with me, and your child–it’s not just a barrier between us; it’s a thorn in the side of your relationship with him. He cares about that. Do you understand?”

She paused for a second before adding, in a lower voice, “And I’m wogled that, one day, he might try to take the child away, Angela, I really don’t want to raise someone else’s kid.”

When I didn’t reply, Christina pressed, “So, you’re not agreeing?”

I glanced at her casually. “You seem really worried about this,”

I’m not worried. I just…”

She trailed off under my gaze, and after a beat, she changed her tone. “Alright, take your time. Think it over.”

were things I was already planning to do.

The first point was still up in the air because I hadn’t decided where I’d settle yet, but I was definitely planning to stay far away from Sean.

“Well? Christina asked cautiously. “If I follow these conditions, we’re clear, right?”

She nodded eagerly. “Yes.”

“Okay.”

When she heard me agree, she quickly grabbed a pen and handed it to me. “Then go ahead and sign-

I took the pen with a smile. “I’m not signing this agreement

For a moment, Christina’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? You’re not signing?”

I leaned back in my chair, calm and composed. “I’m not signing a private agreement like this.”

Christina reacted immediately. “What’s going on? Are you trying to mess with me?”

“No,” I shook my head, keeping my tone serious. “I won’t sign, but I still follow through with everything you asked.”
