Chapter 158 Pretend To Be In Love

Author: Escaping Bunny
"Fooling those old fogeys in your family temporarily seems pointless. Wouldn't be more effective to make them anxious, causing them to make mistakes, or even force your dad to take action?" Charlotte said calmly as she doodled in her notebook.

Griffith crossed his arms and watched her in silence.

Charlotte rested her chin on her hand, smiling at him. "But everyone already knows that we have a bad relationship. I bet even your secretary doesn't believe we can have a child."

"What's your point?"

"I suggest you up the ante and invest in me a little," Charlotte said slowly. "Together, we can create the image of a couple with a deep and loving relationship, capable of conceiving a child that'll allow you to inherit a vast fortune at any moment. That'll have them sweating."

Griffith smirked slightly as if considering. "After pretending to be married, are you planning to pretend to be in love with me too?"

"You're right. What I'm asking you to do is a piece of cake for you."

    Griffith returned to his room, feeling irritated. Charlotte's attitude in planning for the future made him keenly aware that she was trying to break free from his control. This feeling was unprecedented for him.Just as he was contemplating this, the doorbell rang. He frowned, not wanting to disturb Ash; he quickly went to answer the door. To his surprise, it was Charlotte, panting and holding a bag in her hands. He raised his chin and said coldly, "What's the matter?"Charlotte overlooked his cold demeanor. Instead, she looked to his side and asked, "Is your arm injured?"Griffith fell silent. Indeed, there was a small scratch from broken glass about two centimeters long on his forearm. He hadn't paid much attention and hastily dealt with it while showering.Charlotte entered the living room, forcing him to step back instinctively. She opened the bag from the convenience store and took out a box of plasters she had just bought."This ointment is very effective. You can apply it

    Late at night, in a high-end apartment.Clang!A cell phone hit the TV, followed by the sound of a crying child. Upstairs, several nannies were busy with their duties. One of them came down and knocked on Katie's door."Ms. Katie, what's going on?" she asked.Inside the room, Katie's face contorted with frustration. She had made numerous calls, but only a woman had answered, deliberately provoking her and blocking her number. Griffith hadn't responded to her at all, either. What was he doing?She paced restlessly, fear and panic mingling within her, almost pushing her to madness. She had a lifelong bond with him, so he shouldn't treat her this way! The baby's cries were piercing, and the nannies kept asking what was happening outside the door.In a burst of anger, Katie shouted, "Shut up!"The two nannies by the door were startled and exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding what was happening. Katie seemed to be struggling with her wild mood swings lately. Could it be that

    Charlotte went to the hospital to visit William, who was about to be discharged.The young man sat by the window early in the morning, wearing a camouflage jacket over his hospital gown. Despite his bandaged limbs, he still looked handsome.The only downside was his sour expression."It's past eight. Why aren't you at work? What are you doing at the hospital?" His tone made it hard for Charlotte not to think of Griffith."I'm not going to work today," she replied after sitting down."You're working only three days a week. How can you succeed in your career?" he said.William closed his book written in German and sneered. "When will you snap out of your love-struck phase? Besides thinking about Griffith, do you have anything else to do? Or have you become addicted to being a wealthy housewife?"Charlotte stammered, "That's not...""Zombies must have eaten your brains! What does he have besides his money and good looks?"Charlotte struggled to respond, but William couldn't be bo

    Arthur pushed up his glasses, placed his documents on the desk, and left the office. As soon as he left, the prying eyes from all sides discreetly withdrew, but the lingering scent of gossip still hung in the air. Without a doubt, within five minutes, the entire company would know.Arthur sighed.As soon as the door closed, Charlotte immediately straightened. In the process, her hair brushed past Griffith's shoulder once again. Griffith's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he was about to speak when she suddenly said, "How was my act?""Act?" he questioned.He calmly placed the cap back on his pen with a darkened face. Charlotte, however, didn't mind his demeanor. She walked over to the dining table and unpacked the lunch boxes individually."The dishes you wanted are all here."Griffith glanced at the spread but still seemed skeptical. "Did you make them yourself?"Charlotte maintained a serious expression and replied, "I did."Sixteen dishes. How long did it take to prepare

    "If your dad returns, can you handle him?" Charlotte broke the silence halfway through. She felt it was getting awkward and needed to say something.Griffith looked at her and said, "Are you afraid I'll be doomed and drag you down?"Charlotte shrugged and nodded solemnly. "Precisely. We didn't exactly have a happy marriage. It'll be too tragic if I'm dragged down with you."Griffith snorted, and silence fell once more.Charlotte glanced around and noticed a corner of the bandage on Griffith's arm was peeling off."You haven't replaced it yet?" she asked.Griffith followed her gaze and looked at his forearm, frowning slightly. He reached over and adjusted his sleeve. "I haven't had the chance."Charlotte glanced around and asked, "Do you have bandages in your office?"Griffith looked at her and said lowly, "There's no one here. No need to pretend to care about me."Charlotte smiled faintly and replied, "I'm just worried you'll die, and I'll have to join you in the afterlife."

    During the long lunch break, Charlotte ordered some adhesive bandages and had them delivered.They were all adorned with cartoon characters. Griffith didn't seem to like them, and Charlotte could tell.So, when people were around, she strategically moved closer to him and, in a sweet, flirtatious tone, said, "Honey, let me change your bandage for you."Griffith was stunned. The executives collectively gasped in shock.Charlotte had a mischievous look, knowing Griffith wouldn't make a scene in front of others. She chose the most conspicuous Mickey Mouse bandage and playfully slapped it onto Griffith's forearm.Griffith grunted. Lowering his head to see her bright smile, his eyes widened.Charlotte blinked innocently and asked, "Did that hurt?""No," Griffith replied."That's good, then!"The high-ranking executive was getting goosebumps just watching this display of affection. He couldn't help but think that Griffith was so devoted to starting a family that he was willing to pu

    Suzanne Cole looked furious. When she saw Charlotte, she almost didn't recognize her. She cautiously said, "Charlotte?"Charlotte smiled and responded, "Teacher, it's been a long time."Suzanne wasn't in the mood to catch up. She forced herself to suppress her anger and was about to speak when she heard a young woman's voice from behind."If it weren't for her, I would have already made it big. Yet she's giving me an attitude! She's getting old. If she can't direct, she should just admit it!"These words ignited Suzanne's anger. She was about to go back and argue with the young woman, but Charlotte grabbed her, signaling to Wade's assistant with her eyes.

    Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming.

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone.

    Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

    Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

    "You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good.

I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

    "What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
