Ryan Sterling didn't have to say that last part.
But he said it deliberately, just to remind Evelyn Grant.
Sure enough.
After hearing it, she was too embarrassed to object.
After a few seconds of silence, Evelyn Grant's voice rose in confusion. "You mean, you want us to make this act real?"
Ryan Sterling nodded, making sure to add, "Only for as long as the marriage lasts! Once we're divorced, we'll go our separate ways."
'Of course—'
'If that day ever comes.'
"..."
"Evelyn Grant, you aren't trying to back out and not repay the favor you owe me, are you?"
"I'm not!"
Ryan Sterling smiled. "Alright then. It's settled."
He gave Evelyn Grant no time to react. The moment he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked straight into the villa.
She stood stunned for a long moment, then hurried to catch up and question him.
"Ryan Sterling, you... don't you have a girl you like? If you and I make this act real, what about her? Aren't you afraid she'll get angry and jealous?"
