No strings attached. In public, we’ll pretend to be a loving couple. In private, we go our separate ways." His eyes burned into mine, leaving no room for misunderstanding. "Especially for my parents—we just need to convince them we’re in love so they’ll stop meddling." He exhaled slowly before continuing. "If you agree, I’ll take care of your grandmother’s medical bills. It’s just for a year, and then we both walk away. No complications, no expectations."

She sighed and faced her friends with a smile on her face. "Well, I just hope that this marriage ends well. James is a nice guy, and I'm sure he will spoil me rotten and all. I mean, he did get me a whole ass expensive BMW, even a sports car and lots of gifts while we dated, it won't be that hard for him to do more. My only fear is that this marriage doesn't end up becoming something I don't want it to be," Crystal said, but her mind was on something else— The reason behind her marriage with James Noah. She had to make sacrifices to get what she wanted and she only had this chance to do so. She mentally hoped that everything went well with her union with the millionaire. "Enough of all these

.Bax said, "Who marries for love nowadays? You'll have money and that should be enough." Marigold said, "But I won't have my freedom and I won't have love.

Bai Tingxin asked, "Does your family have any rules about a wedding proposal?" "Rules?" Qin Lianyi thought about it. "I’ve never heard my parents talk about any rules." "What about other requirements?" "Requirements?" She froze a little. "Do you mean those three gold items and bride price? I don't like wearing gold anyway, so I don't care even if I don't have three gold pieces. The bride price in Shen City is usually 50,000 to 100,000 dollars." 50,000 to 100,000 dollars was nothing to Bai Tingxin. Therefore, Qin Lianyi was not worried about it.

" I never think about marriage, not even for a single second. It gives me goosebumps. Marrying someone is like going to prison. "I just got into a scandal, then you will just say that I need to marry someone? Dad, marriage is not a joke; you can't just say it like it's not a big deal! It's my life that will be ruined if I just marry someone that I don't even love," I said, and I was about to walk away from my father, but I heard him talk again.

The very place that had once felt like a home now loomed over her like a prison. Madison’s words stung like a slap. “Yes, Mrs. Asher, we will live in your mansion as my husband, Mr. Samuel , has signed a deal with your husband, Mr. Asher until they complete their project. We will live here; hope you don’t have any problems!” The hurt in Madison’s eyes was unmistakable, and Sophia couldn’t bear to meet her gaze. The hatred simmering just beneath the surface was too much to confront.

Exiting the store, she happily linked arms with Larry. "Larry, we're getting married. Does that mean your parents will move out of the house you're living in now?" She didn't want to get married and still live with his parents! Larry looked troubled. "Our current house is located within the Second Ring Road, with a spacious area of one hundred and fifty square meters. The housing prices in Richburgh have skyrocketed to one thousand seven hundred dollars per square meter. Because of the increase in school districts, the price continues to rise. If my parents move out, we can't afford to buy another one..."

All three people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. As she was leaving, Valentina vaguely heard the photographer’s complaint: “I had never seen such a strange young couple.” They’re a match made in heaven, but they don’t know how to laugh. Valentina sighed and denied it, not that she didn’t know how to laugh; she didn’t want to. Is there anything to be proud of in a marriage linked by a paper contract? Getting married is as simple as it costs nine dollars. It drizzled in the sky. Neither brought an umbrella.

If only the age gap weren't an issue, I'd marry him! Regaining her composure, Jade continued. "That's excellent. You're a perfect match for the prettiest girl in our village!" Detecting something amiss, Jade eyed Evan suspiciously. "You haven't said a word, handsome. Are you mute? If that's the case, it might complicate things. According to our customs, a mute groom will need to pay extra for the wedding. We're talking at least 100,000 dollars!" Evan sneered and shot her a cold look. "Is 100,000 dollars too little? How about 1,000,000 dollars?"
