Chapter 1028: Chapter 1031: There is another woman in your heart (Extra 3) Chapter 1028: Chapter 1031: There is another woman in your heart (Extra 3) Compared to the initial marriage agreement, this contract had only three different provisions.
First, within the one-year marriage agreement, there would be no physical contact between the husband and wife in private, and the woman must not find excuses to be physically close to the man.
Second, in public, especially in front of the media, they must pretend to show affection.
Third, after the agreement ends, Richard Coldwell will pay her a handsome compensation. This includes not only monetary compensation but also assistance from both the Coldwell and Borkin families. Moreover, Richard Coldwell promised to take good care of Abbie and Lulu, ensuring a safeguarded future for both children even after the divorce.
This marriage agreement almost made Lily see a replica of Aidan Lucas from those years ago.
It's just that, after experiencing so much,
now seeing this agreement again,
Lily couldn't help but come up with a bold speculation.
“Mr. Coldwell… I have finished reading it. If I refuse you, are you planning to prevent Abbie and Lulu from being returned to me?”
Lily pondered for a moment, then decided to tell Richard Coldwell what was on her mind.
Richard Coldwell's brow furrowed slightly, “No. I did this only in hopes of seriously discussing the agreement with you. Miss Redington, you are too cunning, always evading. If it were not like this, this matter wouldn't have dragged on for over a year.”
If it were possible to complete the marriage contract with Lily Redington sooner,
perhaps, that woman would have appeared a day earlier.
Hearing Richard Coldwell's words, Lily breathed a sigh of relief.
She boldly said, “If that's the case, Mr. Coldwell… then I will be direct. I would possibly have agreed to this agreement if it had been presented to me three months earlier.”
The most attractive part of this agreement was Richard Coldwell's promise to the two children.
If she hadn't met Aidan Lucas again, she was destined to a life of solitude.
Indeed, Lily would worry that if she were to have an accident one day, whether there would be anyone else to care for the children if they were left alone in this world.
Parents will eventually age.
Even with David Redington, she couldn't be at ease with him as the only one left to rely on.
Hearing her words, the man's brow furrowed slightly.
He asked with a cold voice, “Miss Redington, I want to know why it was possible three months ago, but now it's not.”
“Because, now I've found a man I like,” Lily openly admitted her feelings, knowing Richard Coldwell wasn't a person who gossiped.
A brief stunned expression flashed across Richard Coldwell's stern features,
but he quickly returned to normal.
His eyes darkened, “If that's the case, congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Lily responded with a sweet smile.
“However… Miss Redington, I'm curious. The man you speak of liking, is he the father of the two children…?”
“Yes, that's right! It's him!” Lily nodded before Richard Coldwell could finish his question.
This time, the smile spread from her lips, reaching all the way to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Seeing the happy smile spill across her face, Richard Coldwell's usually cold and indifferent eyes glimpsed, through Lily's laughter, another familiar and long-lost smiling face for an instant.
A sudden pain clutched at his heart.
His brow creased slightly as he suppressed the surging pain, his tone cold, “I will have someone send the children back right now.”
Richard Coldwell intentionally tried to end the conversation.
But Lily didn't miss the fleeting sense of loss that quickly rose and disappeared in the depths of Richard Coldwell's eyes.
When he finished speaking with his subordinate,
Lily hesitated for a few seconds before slowly voicing her question, “Mr. Coldwell… I may be presumptuous in saying this. I think this marriage contract wasn't actually drawn up for me, right? I suspect it was drafted for another woman, wasn't it?”
