No matter whether she agrees or not, Leo won’t let her go easily. She’d better agree to Leo’s terms so
that she won’t feel sorry for her colleagues.
Claire glances at Leo and says difficultly, “I promise you, but you must promise me that you will not
regret again!”
Anyway, she can run away again. She has run away twice. She’s not afraid to run away again!
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo smiles. There is a gleam of treachery in his eyes.
Leo walks slowly to his desk and picks up a document. Then he comes back and puts a contract or
something in front of Claire and points to it and says, “sign it.”
“What is this...” Claire takes it up and looks at it doubtfully. When she sees clearly, her eyes suddenly
widen. She flings down the contract and stares at Leo and roars, “Leo! What do you mean!”
He asks Claire to sign to show her sincerity to Leo. He makes her promise not to leave him for the rest
of her life. Here are a few examples. If Claire betrays Leo or doesn’t do what the contract says, she will
have to pay liquidated damages or he will sue Claire.
And Conan’s custody has to be transferred to him.
Seeing this, Claire is furious. Leo is bullying!
Claire had a hunch before she promised. Why does Leo have to make such a request when he can
restrain her? Claire thought that Leo just wanted to hear her promise, so she restrained her uneasiness
and agreed to Leo.
Sure enough, she guesses right.
Claire is angry but Leo is complacent. He says, “didn’t you just agree to my terms? Now I want you to
sign this contract to prevent you from breaking your promise in the future. This is a contract to protect
us. Why do you react like this now?”
Leo looks at Claire meaningfully and says, “did you just say that to perfunctory me?”
“I didn’t!” Claire is guilty, but she has a high self-esteem, so she immediately contradicts Leo. She says
seriously, “you don’t have to mock me. Leo, you’ve planned everything for a long time. You prepared
the contract. I didn’t expect you to be such a person!”
“I’m just careful.” Leo doesn’t care about Claire’s rebuttal. “After all, you’ve done it once before. I can’t
believe you without any basis.”
“You...” Claire stares at Leo angrily and wants to say something to contradict him. But she finds that
she has no reason to contradict Leo.
Leo is telling the truth. She did leave without permission, but it doesn’t mean that her behavior is
wrong!
She and Leo are from two worlds. There is no advantage in their being together.
Leo is domineering and overbearing. Claire is upset. If she’s going to fight Leo, she can’t resist him. He
will be more domineering.
Claire knows that. She sits down helplessly and says, “even if what you said is right and I sign this
contract, so what? Who can guarantee that we will be together forever? A couple will divorce, let alone
we have nothing to do with each other! I think the contract needs to be changed.”
“Don’t you believe in my determination?” Leo leans forward and stares at Claire.
Leo has been staring at Claire for a long time. They are silent. Then Leo smiles meaningfully. He leans
back and says, “OK, how do you want to change it?”
Leo finally agrees. Claire breaths a sigh of relief. She points to the date on the contract and says firmly,
“it should be changed here. It shouldn’t be the second half of my life. It should be a month or a year.”
Claire can play with Leo for such a long time. Besides, no one can predict the future. Maybe she sign
the contract today, and Leo gets tired of her the next day.
Claire doesn’t want to get in touch with Leo, but she has to deal with Leo for her freedom and the
project.
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo suddenly smiles. He gets up and goes to Claire and sits down. He looks
meaningfully at her face.
After a long time, Leo smiles and says, “Claire, do you think I’m particularly like an idiot without a
brain?”
Yeah...
Claire says in her heart, but she can’t answer Leo that way. Claire says quickly, “no, you think too
much.”
Leo sneers and scornfully says, “Claire, do you think I’m an idiot? A month? A year? I know what you’re
thinking.”
“What?” Claire is nervous but she asks calmly.
Leo glances at her and pinches her chin and kisses her. Leo presses her nose and says, “I don’t agree
with your suggestion. You want to leave me when the contract expires. Don’t even think about it!”
“Leo, don’t go too far!” Claire is exposed and embarrassed. She can’t help pushing him away and
protesting loudly.
“Do you think you still have a stand against me?” Leo is pushed away by Claire but he isn’t angry. He
sits back and watches Claire. He says leisurely, “Claire, it’s no use struggling. I advise you to
surrender.”
It’s impossible!
Claire can’t help but scold him in her heart. A trick comes to her. Now that Leo wants to keep her, she
can do something he hates and make him tired of her. Even if she signs the contract, Leo will take the
initiative to drive her away.
