"Oh, my head hurts a little!" Lucy Taylor came back after finishing the phone call, covering her forehead and looking at me coquettishly.

I smiled tiredly, not wanting to argue with her.

Anyway, she won't listen to anything you say.

"What's that expression on your face? Did I say something wrong?"

"Hurry up, blow it for me again!"

She sat down in front of me again and took out two pictures from her phone.

"Which of these two bags do you think looks better?"

Both bags are from Hermès and are very valuable.

I pointed to one at random.

"Then go buy it for me tomorrow," she answered without hesitation.

From the blind date until now, I can’t remember how many things she has asked me to give her.

Although I am no longer as financially strapped as I once was, I cannot afford her extravagant spending.

This reminds me of Linda .

I remember one time, a cake shop held an event and I bought a piece of cake and brought it back to her.

When she saw the cake, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Jake, it's delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious cake!"

She laughed and cried as she handed the cake to my mouth.

"Jake, you eat too."

"I'm so happy to have you!"

"I believe that we will be able to gain a foothold in this great Shanghai!"

Later, Linda and I started a small company together.

When the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, we raised our first round of funding, which my father shamelessly begged from the Taylor family.

"I have no other request, the only thing is that your partner leave."

On the day of the financing negotiation, Lucy Taylor looked at Linda and said jokingly , " I'm sorry, I can't do this!" I immediately rejected this unreasonable request.

But Linda held back Lucy Taylor, who was about to get angry, and said, "Okay, I can promise, I'm willing to leave."

"no!"

"Linda and I started the company together, and now that we have raised money, we are kicking her out."

"Only a beast could do such a thing!"

I immediately shouted at Lucy Taylor and refused to agree to such an excessive request.

My dad slapped me in the face and said, "You bastard! I worked so hard to get this opportunity for you! What's wrong with your attitude?"

"Hurry up and apologize to Lucy Taylor !"

Seeing me being beaten by my dad, Linda immediately rushed over and said to my dad with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, don't be angry! I can leave, as long as Jake and the company are fine."

"I said no and it means no! Linda, you can't sign this!"

I was so angry that I tore up the share transfer agreement on the spot and rejected the Taylor family's investment again.

But the next day, Linda left again.

She left a note on my desk.

"Jake, the company is your dream. Take good care of it for me and make it bigger."

"I will always support you."

After seeing the note, I quickly called Linda, but her phone was turned off.

That night, I drank a lot of wine in the bar alone. In a daze, Lucy Taylor appeared and helped me get into the car. When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

I was lying shirtless on the bed in the hotel, and Lucy Taylor was sitting on the sofa next to me, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, looking at me with a smile.

"What happened last night?" I asked nervously as I looked at the clothes thrown on the ground.

Lucy Taylor raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What do you think?"

"My first time was given to you."

"You have to be responsible for me."

In the past, I couldn’t understand why the eldest daughter of the Taylor family would force me to marry her in this way.

But now, I finally understand!

Because she knew she was pregnant with Henry's child, and if she didn't marry me, she wouldn't be able to give birth to the child.

Otherwise everyone would know that she was a mistress.

Taylor family 's reputation will also be ruined by her!

So , I will be her best shield!

Marry me, and everything will be fine!
