    Ste didn’t know why he said that. She frowned and said affirmatively, “I never thought of you that


    way.”


    “Then why, even at a time like this, would you rather go on a blind date with a stranger thane to


    me for help?”


    He suddenly lost control of his emotions and spoke. “I have told you many times that I would help you


    no matter what difficulties you face. Am I so unworthy of your trust that you would rather marry a


    stranger to prevent Weston from troubling you thane to me for help? At least I know what


    happened between you. Wouldn’t that be more convenient?”


    She took a deep breath. “That’s exactly why I could not go to you. I’m very sorry, Mr. Hall. I know how


    you feel for me, but if I used this to achieve my goal, it would be unfair to you. This was why I could


    only look for a stranger. It would just be a business with predetermined


    conditions, and nobody would owe anyone anything. But it would be different if the man was you. I


    don’t want to owe you anything.”


    “You don’t want to owe me anything because you have no feelings for me. You didn’te to me for


    help so that you can always draw the line between us. Is that so?” He suddenly calmed down and


    closed his eyes. Then, he pulled up at the roadside. He was currently too emotional to drive.


    After a while, she said softly, “I am very sorry, Mr. Hall.”


    He had not smoked for a long time. It was a bad habit he took up after he divorced his wife.

    They had been divorced for many years, and their son was already in middle school. He had long quit


    this bad habit, but now, because of her, he started smoking again.


    Looking at him smoking, she reached for the car door handle. After much hesitation, she still kept silent


    as she tried to open the car door.


    However, he did not give her the chance to do so and locked the door, leaving her with no way to open


    it.


    “Mr. Hall, I have made myself very clear.” She suddenly felt weary and looked at the man on the


    driver’s seat helplessly. “I know what you want, but we really are not suited for each other. There is no


    need to waste time.”


    “How is it a waste of time? Don’t you need someone to marry? What do you think of me?”


    As if he had made up his mind, he put out his cigarette and stared at her solemnly. “We can get to


    know each other properly. You need someone to marry so that Weston will stop pestering you and you


    can live a normal life. Coincidentally, I need someone by my side. Besides, you should know how I feel


    about you.”


    She was taken aback. Before she could say anything, the man interrupted her. “As for your fear of


    owing me, it ispletely unnecessary. Having feelings for you is my business. You don’t have to


    respond to it. I have asked Charles about the agreement between you and him, and he said that both


    of you could terminate the rtionship at any time, anywhere. Since the deal failed, then why don’t you


    consider me? Am I not more suitable than him?” She let out a long sigh and said, “But it won’t do you


    any good. Besides, Weston is not an ordinary man. If he decides to harm you-” “I have been living in


    this circle for many years. Although my status is not as high as his, I won’t let him do whatever he


    wants. I want to marry you not merely because I want to help you. I told you—I need apanion.” He


    suddenly paused and let out a self-deprecatingugh. “There is one thing I have not confessed to you: I


    was married once.”


    She froze for a moment and stared at him. 3 Although a little surprising, it was notpletely


    unexpected.
