"So, how is it, Darling? Are you prepared to marry?" Rebecca enquired about Milly and Arthur.

They were both deafeningly silent, and neither dared to speak. Earlier, Agatha had arrived to sabotage things, accusing Milly of everything and anything until the woman was traumatized and contemplating ending the marriage.

Arthur appeared to be at ease. He stood up, shrugging his shoulders in front of Rebecca.

"Ma'am, the sooner the better for me. Instead of Milly's pregnancy growing and becoming another issue for us. As you are aware, correct? Many journalists want to know about my personal life. As a result, I decided to hold this wedding as soon as possible."

Rebecca smiled cheerfully, knowing it would be simple to persuade Arthur to marry Milly. She was overjoyed because she would soon have the grandchildren she had longed for for so long.

The middle-aged woman's gaze shifted to Milly, who was still silent with a doubtful expression. The fear in her eyes was palpable, and Arthur could tell without even asking. The man snorted harshly and looked away for a moment before returning his gaze to Milly, who was still silent.

"Just relax if you're still thinking about Agatha. I'll see to it that she doesn't bother you." Arthur said suddenly, causing Milly to look up, confidently looking into Arthur's stern-looking eyes.

Rebecca recognized the situation and immediately turned to Milly, standing up and walking over to sit beside her future daughter-in-law. She rubbed the woman's shoulder gently.

"Is Agatha's presence unsettling to you? If that's the case, I can make her stay away from you or, if necessary, keep her out of town," said Rebecca suddenly making an offer that Milly thought was too much.

Milly was taken aback and immediately shook her head, a worried expression on her face. Of course, hearing all of Rebecca's words, the woman's peace was disturbed. Because this was an unexpected occurrence.

Milly had no idea a fetus was growing inside her womb. Even the steamy night with Arthur was not her choice.

It was all Agatha's rule, but the woman felt guilty for her friend because the baby in Milly's belly was not her will, and if Arthur hadn't asked, Milly would have chosen to stay out of Arthur's life.

"Aunty, no. There's no reason to be that way. I'm just concerned that Arthur and my marriage will cause Agata pain. After all, she is a friend of mine." Milly expressed her sadness.

Arthur was pensive for a moment as he listened intently to the woman's every word. Even though Milly had been framed and used for Agatha's purposes, the woman was concerned about Agatha's feelings and had previously threatened Milly. Arthur had no idea what Milly was thinking, but he hoped the marriage would go smoothly according to their agreement. He also hoped Agatha would stop interfering with his life. Rebecca, on the other hand, had reason to be pleased with the incident.

Arthur prioritized his mother's happiness above all else. So he'd do anything to make Rebbeca happy.

"Milly, you are so generous. Even though Agatha has accused you of everything and even threatened you. But you were concerned about her feelings. You are a wonderful young lady. It's not a bad idea if I make you my daughter-in-law. Arthur, you must look after Milly, particularly the baby in her womb. Remember, you'll never find another woman like Milly!" Rebecca turned to face her son.

Arthur simply cleared his throat, his face expressionless. This marriage was nothing more than a contract that could benefit both him and Milly, in his opinion. So Milly should take care of her womb as best she can for this her marriage contract to be fulfilled and Milly's mother to be fully healed, as the woman hopes.

***

"I'll bring you home."

Milly came to a halt when she heard the baritone voice from behind her back.

She had previously turned down Rebecca's offer to be driven directly by the driver, but it was Arthur who approached her and offered her a ride.

"There is no need. I can get home on my own."

Arthur remained silent as he stared at the woman in front of him, then sighed deeply and harshly.

"Don't get all strange on me. I didn't intend to bring you home, but my mother asked. I had no choice. What do you think? She wants the baby in your womb. So, if you want this contract to go smoothly and your mother to be well in the hospital, you must obey all of my orders." Arthur explained in a cynical and cold tone.

Milly remained silent, her heart pounding painfully. The words spoken by the man in front of her broke her heart. A sense of disappointment had infiltrated this heart for some reason. Maybe she thought that Arthur was offering her a ride of his own free will, but it turned out that it was all for Rebecca who wanted her son. Milly held her breath, trying to keep her aching heart at bay. But she had to remember that this was just a marriage contract.

Milly required a large sum of money for her mother's recovery, and Rebecca required a grandchild, so an agreement that benefited both parties was reached.

"Hey, why are you silent?!" exclaimed Arthur, making Milly jump in surprise.

"Are you going home or not?" Arthur inquired directly.

Milly just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Come on, I've got a lot of work to do, and you should know that a leader like me doesn't have time to worry about you," Arthur said, leaving Milly speechless once more.

She didn't want to aggravate the situation by responding to everything Arthur said.

Perhaps he said that because he was upset about having to marry a commoner like her. Nobody made a sound on the way home. The only sound was the roar of the car engine. Milly chose to gaze out the window of the car during the journey.

She remembered Agatha's threat to her at times like this. There was a mixture of fear and guilt. Milly, on the other hand, desired to meet with Agatha and explain what had occurred. But she had to think twice because if the marriage agreement was revealed to her friend, Milly's life would be ruined.

Arthur will not remain silent and will strongly advise Milly not to tell anyone, especially Rebecca and Agatha. So, what is Milly going to do to Agatha? Could she apologize to Agatha or remain silent and let Agatha exact her revenge?

    "Thank you."Milly said that before getting out of Arthur's car.However, her movement was halted when the man called her name instead."Why don't you go home? Are you trying to keep me from knowing your home?"Milly turned her head. She looked at Arthur with tired eyes."My mom is in the hospital. There's no way I'm going home. Later, even after I get married, I'll spend a lot of time there."Arthur was silent. He seemed to have just realized this girl's situation."Okay."Milly immediately got out of the car. Meanwhile, Arthur watched her depart from the car.There was a sudden curiosity about how Milly's life had become like this.However, Arthur quickly dispelled that thought."That's none of my business. The important thing is that the baby can be mine."Arthur left immediately.

This wedding had to be held.On the way back to the hospital, Milly was silent as she stared at the road. Her mind kept wandering, imagining what would happen if she was with Arthur.He would definitely treat her badly. But, then again.

    "But, my mom is still sick. Shouldn't we wait until she gets a little better?""No. I don't want to buy any more time. I don't want to take any risks. What if Agatha hurts you? Or she hurts the child in your womb? Aren't you thinking far ahead, Milly?"The woman fell silent. Hearing Arthur's last sentence, her hand reflexively stroked her flat stomach.The man's words were true. What she feared was not Milly, but the safety of their baby."But, what about my mom?"Arthur sat down at her side with a deep sigh. "I'm sure your mom will agree. We'll make a live broadcast, so your mother can see our wedding on video."Milly turned around with sparkling eyes. Seeing that, Arthur again fell silent. He seemed mesmerized by her innocent face and beautiful eyes."Is that true?" asked Milly, breaking Arthur's reverie."Yes, I assure you it is. So, it's been decided that we'll have the wedding tomorrow."***Rebbeca was surprised to hear that Arthur had asked to be prepared for his wedding to Mi

    "Mom, I'm just an ordinary woman. While Arthur is a famous person. How can I marry him? What will people think?"These were some of Milly's worries among the many fears she had about becoming the wife of a famous businessman like Arthur.Agnes smiled as she gently rubbed her daughter's head."I know your worries, Milly. But, you must be sure that Arthur and his family will not let you suffer because of the bad people out there. I'm also sure that Arthur's family will treat you very well. Your job is to be a good wife, an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother. I'm sure that will make you happy."Milly was silent. Her mother's words were true, but difficult to do. Maybe if she became an obedient daughter-in-law and a loving mother, Milly could try. But being a good wife? That couldn't happen. Her mother would never know, this marriage would only last as long as she carried her child."Already, don't think weird. You have to be happy, including your child."Milly gave her best smi

    "What, honeymoon, ma'am?"Rebecca chuckled at the nickname mentioned by Milly."Call me Mother, not Madam. You'll be my daughter-in-law, Milly."The woman looked awkward about changing her nickname. However, she did what Rebecca told her to do."Okay, Mother.""Good. So, where do you want to go on your honeymoon? I'll grant you that. Think of it as me pleasing my future grandchild in the womb."Milly was silent. Seeing Rebecca's enthusiastic face, she remembered Arthur's words. It was true, this middle-aged woman wanted a grandchild so badly, it was like this."Milly?""Ah, yes, ma'am?""Why are you daydreaming? Is there something wrong?"Milly immediately shook her head. "No, ma'am. I... I was just thinking, there's no need for a honeymoon.""Why?""I'm pregnant, my mom's sick. Plus Arthur must be busy with his work. So, it's better here. I'd rather be here."Rebecca was silent. This was in stark contrast to Agatha who was always pulling for Arthur. Indeed, Milly was a good daughter-

    Arthur walked slowly, but his gaze was terrifying. Like an animal ready to pounce on its enemy."Don't pretend, Agatha! Tell me, what did you do to Milly?"Hearing Milly's name mentioned, the woman's body jerked. The feeling of hatred came back."What happened to her? Did she tell you something bad? You should know, I've known you longer than Milly.""Longer acquaintance does not guarantee knowing her true nature, Agatha. I'm grateful that with recent events, I've been able to find out what you're like."Agatha was getting more and more confused with the direction of the man's conversation. Just as she was about to speak up, Arthur suddenly showed her the video on his cell phone.Agatha's face immediately paled. Apparently, this was about her fight with Milly the other day. She thought Arthur would take her side. But why did Agatha think it would end in a fight?"You really are a shameful woman, Agatha! In a public place, you humiliated Milly whom you had framed. Then, what else are y

    "What's wrong with Agatha? Is she bothering Milly?" asked Rebecca when she heard her son threaten Agatha.Arthur immediately shook his head. It was a good thing that he had ordered people to remove the video from various websites, including removing the account that first spread the video. Otherwise, Rebecca might have seen what happened to Milly by now."No, mom. I'm just afraid she's done something bad to Milly."Unfortunately, Agatha didn't take her word for it. She even searched her son's face."You're not lying, are you?""Oh my God, Mom. Why would I lie? I mean it."Rebecca let out a long breath. "All right. Don't lie to me, Arthur. Remember, my earlier conditions still apply.""What?!"Arthur had lost track of their conversation. This was costing him dearly. While he and Milly would be divorced if their child was born, how could that be?"Mom, is that too much?""Outrageous? Oh, no, Arthur. It's only fair, for my grandson's sake too."Arthur clucked loudly. He walked over and s

    "Good afternoon, Miss Milly.""Afternoon? Who, huh?"The woman gave the two men in suits a wary look, fearing that they were bad people."We are Lord Arthur's messengers. We're going to fetch Miss.""Huh?"The fear instantly turned into shock. Who would have thought that Arthur would send two messengers who were mistaken for criminals."Arthur? Are you sure? Or are you trying to trick me?"Milly couldn't believe it. Especially considering that Arthur was a businessman who probably had a lot of enemies."Of course, Miss. Are you not sure about us?" one of them asked.Milly scanned their looks with a probing gaze. Then, she shook her head slowly.The two people dressed all in black looked at each other for a moment, then someone made a call. It didn't take long for the person to hand Milly her cell phone.She was confused at first, but immediately put the phone to her ear."Hello?""Come with them. We meet in ten minutes."That was Arthur's voice. The man didn't even give her a chance t

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 34 Rebecca's Ultimatum

    In her heart Agatha actually wanted to curse at Rebecca, but considering that here was the middle-aged woman's house plus Rebecca was also Raka's mother, then she did not dare to say harsh things. She would really be shunned and possibly thrown in jail for unpleasant behavior. It was just how she explained to Rebecca that her presence was only to meet with Arthur, especially since she could not let go of the man just yet. "It's not like that, ma'am. I came here to see Arthur. I will explain everything.""What are you going to explain to my son? What do you mean, are you tricking your own friend into sleeping with my son or are you materialistic and expecting to inherit from this family? Which one is true?" The question was correct. Rebecca had made Agatha's pride suffer. But again the woman could do nothing but explain that she was not as bad as she thought."No, no. Madam is wrong to think that way. I did make a mistake, but I truly regret it. I want to explain everything to Arthu

    "I can't make a decision right now. But if it's for the good of the child, I will try until the baby is born," Milly said, giving an answer that really made Arthur hesitate. She should have just complied with Arthur's wishes, instead of doing something like that. It left the man confused and he had to find another way to get Milly to follow his wishes.Now Arthur had to calm himself down and try to get Milly to trust him again. "Alright then, I'll wait for your answer. Now how about we go for a walk?" Arthur asked trying to please Milly, preferably so that Mike could see that he was treating her very well. So that the phone wouldn't keep ringing and interrogating him. Rebecca was meddling in the household affairs of he and Milly for so long. Arthur could also be unsettled by all this. "I'm afraid I'm exhausted.""No problem, we'll rent a car. I can arrange everything," Arthur said, as if emphasizing that he would still take Milly out even if she gave 1000 refusals. Milly could on

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 32 The Reason

    Milly looked at Arthur with a flat stare. She didn't believe it at all. Although Arthur had been loyal to Agatha all this time, but not necessarily to her. Because this marriage was not the wish of either of them, except for the circumstances and Rebecca's request. "You need time to convince me. Right now I can't think clearly. I hope you don't make the same mistake again, Arthur," said the woman and chose to sit on the bed and return the bag underneath. For now Arthur was relieved that Milly could be persuaded. But in the future he had to be careful and try to convince her to stay married to him. Tell Arthur it's doubtful. But it's all for the greater good, especially for himself and the child when it's born. Rebecca will surely love her grandchild more than her own child. So, this was the main reason why Arthur had to take Rebecca's heart and keep all his possessions. "Do you want anything?" asked Arthur. He would try to persuade Milly to make up with him. If you stay angry wit

    While Milly was in the bathroom, Arthur was silent. He looked ahead with an uneasy feeling. There was resentment that he himself could not even control his lust. It was clear in the marriage contract that there was no touching. But it was Arthur who violated it all. All this was because of Rebecca's words that kept haunting him. He was afraid that his son would be like a victim of a broken home who lost his mother figure. Even if there was a babysitter or Rebecca who took care of him, it would definitely feel different if it was his own biological mother. He even thought that far, not wanting the next generation to be destroyed because of the lack of a mother's love. He really thought about it all in these few hours, until his head was filled with stressful things and even vented to Milly.But in the end, it all turned into a disaster like this. Milly wanted a separation, but of course he wouldn't do it. No matter what, Arthur had to keep Milly in the same house with him. He didn't

    Milly continued to sob. She didn't realize that Arthur had woken up beside her. The man was at a loss as to what to do, he was wrong but not saying anything would be even more wrong. Mike might find out and report this incident to his mother. "Milly, I'm sorry."Suddenly Arthur said that, making Milly stop crying. She turned her head to the side with puffy eyes and an annoyed look, there was a look of restrained anger on Milly's face. But the woman didn't say anything, choosing to pull the blanket up and leave Arthur's presence. Milly chose to lock herself in the bathroom and continue crying. She didn't sob and remained silent with tears streaming down her face. This was a very painful event for Milly.At this rate, how will she be able to deal with Arthur? Then, will the marriage agreement continue when Arthur has violated the points listed? But if she left Arthur, what would happen to the baby? Arthur's side would definitely sue her, especially since the money given to Milly for

    Arthur immediately turned off his cell phone and went quickly to the hotel room. He completely forgot about what was happening at the company. A lot of people envied him, because of Arthur's success at such an early age. Even though it was continuing his father's company, Arthur's achievements that maintained the glory in the second generation made him a lot of targets. Several times his life was almost lost because of his father's enemies. Because he kept thinking about the marriage agreement, the man had forgotten that there were children to protect. Rebecca was right, if anyone found out about Milly's pregnancy, then they would be targeting Milly's safety. He would really lose his inheritance if the child disappeared as well. He couldn't let all the bad things happen, no matter what Arthur had to defend the rights that belonged to him.On the way to the room, Arthur was really worried about Milly. He was afraid that many people were currently targeting him and his wife. Even tho

    Arriving at the hotel restaurant, Arthur behaved strangely. He was suddenly very attentive to Milly. He even held her without letting her go. It was really strange that Arthur's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically. Even though it hasn't been a wedding, let alone holding hands, the man has always looked at Milly sarcastically. She could no longer bear to ask with this change in Arthur's attitude. "Are you wrong then?" asked Milly, making Arthur stop his steps as he turned to the woman."What's wrong?""You kept holding my hand. I'm not an old lady, I can still walk by myself," said Milly, making Arthur pause. He inwardly cursed that Milly's words were always harsh to hear.The man actually had a main reason, which was that he was afraid that Mike would be around and see their movements. If his mother called back and criticized what he did to Milly, it would be very dangerous. So, it seemed like from now on he should really be nice to this woman. At least until things started

  • Marriage Agreement   Chapter 27 Change of Agreement

    Arthur also had to think hard about changing their marriage contract and wonder if Milly would go along with it, agreeing to all his plans or if she would refuse. Just thinking about it gave Arthur a real headache, let alone if it came true. Soon they reached the room, Arthur told Milly to sit down. The two of them faced each other, the situation was horrifying for Milly. She felt like she was on trial for something she hadn't done. "All right, Milly. I'm not going to mince words, let's get to the point. I want our marriage to be renewed.""What?!"Milly was stunned. She didn't even blink an eye. Her mind suddenly went blank, her ears buzzing with Arthur's words."Milly!" exclaimed Arthur making her gasp instantly, but Milly just winked without saying anything. "Did you hear what I just said?"The woman nodded her head innocently. "I want to change the marriage contract," Arthur said again making Milly wink while letting out a long sigh. She thought that Arthur was playing a tric

    Arthur swore softly. He looked around and was sure that Mike was currently hiding not far from here. Because earlier he also saw Mike's presence. But unfortunately the man left immediately.Milly, who looked confused by Arthur's reaction, tried to ask, even though her heart was scared. But if you look at Arthur's angry reaction, there must be a problem. "Why?" Milly asked cautiously, afraid that the man would suddenly get angry. Instantly Arthur glared. Milly's heart skipped a beat. She clutched her stomach because it felt like that gaze was piercing her entire body. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Now Milly began to dare to say things like that, different before marriage. She felt she had to protect her son, in case Arthur suddenly went berserk and hurt Milly's stomach. Actually, Arthur also wanted to get angry with Milly, because it was this woman that he got threats from Rebecca and Mike to follow him here.However, if he did that, Rebecca would definitely call him agai
