"Are you busy right now?" Evelyn asked, her voice hesitant.
"What is it? Just say it!" Alexander replied directly.
"It's... better to wait until you're free!" Evelyn hesitated for a long time, but still held back.
Then, she turned and walked toward the bathroom.
"That's the bathroom!" Alexander reminded her.
"Oh, I need to pee first..." Evelyn said, embarrassed as soon as the words left her mouth.
She went into the bathroom, closed the door, and immediately covered her face with both hands. She couldn't help but groan. She wished she could just lose her memory!
After spending some time in the bathroom, Evelyn came out. She lifted her head, looked up at Alexander, and her face turned red.
"What's the matter?" Alexander looked at Evelyn.
"Are you free?" Evelyn asked cautiously.
Alexander didn't respond. He just waited for Evelyn to continue. He had already answered that question and didn't want to repeat himself.
"Well... it's about the post-marital agreement I drafted. Could you take a look at it first? If there's anything that needs to be changed or added, we can discuss it!" Evelyn took a deep breath, handed over the agreement, and said.
"You read it first. I'll listen," Alexander said without taking it.
"Oh!" Evelyn replied. She picked up the agreement and began to read. "Post-Marital Agreement, Party A—"
"Skip to the key points!" Alexander interrupted her.
"The key points are the following rules after marriage:
First, we must live in peace and respect each other in front of our families and relatives.
Second, you cannot force me to do anything I don't want to do!
Third, when we sleep in the same bed, you cannot cross the line!
Fourth, when you see me on the street, you must pretend you don't know me until I graduate.
Fifth, give me a monthly allowance for living expenses. Not too much, just enough to eat, until I graduate and find a job. You can also write an IOU. After I graduate and find a job, I'll pay you back.
Sixth, I'm sorry...
Do you have any comments on the above? If you have any comments, you can also raise them! If you don't have any comments, we should both abide by them after signing!" Evelyn read quickly. Then she looked up at Alexander and asked, a little nervous.
Alexander reached out his hand. Evelyn handed over the agreement. Thinking Alexander was going to sign it, she also handed him the pen.
Alexander took the agreement and the pen. He glanced at it, then started scratching and changing things.
When he handed it back to Evelyn, she saw that every single item had been changed. There were corrections for awkward sentences, imprecise expressions, wrong punctuation, wrong formatting, and no penalty for breach of contract.
The final conclusion was—are you kidding me?
Evelyn blushed and said, "I can revise it and bring it back for you to sign!"
"Evelyn, I don't have time to play games with you! You are twenty years old, not two! Besides, when I get married, I don't plan on getting a divorce. In other words, you are my only wife. We will be separated one day, but it will only be through death, not divorce. Please be clear about that. As for all the rules above, I can promise you items one, four, and five. The rest will not be listed. Can't I, a normal man, exercise the legitimate rights between husband and wife after marriage?" Alexander looked directly at Evelyn and said, his face expressionless.
He was clearly angered by Evelyn's behavior tonight.
"But aren't you gay?" Evelyn looked at Alexander in dismay and blurted out.
Then there was no next.
Mr. Alexander Sterling directly answered Evelyn's question with practical actions.
Alexander's eyes were cold. He looked directly at Evelyn. For a moment, his face showed no expression at all.
Evelyn couldn't help but cry in her heart. It's over. Then, instinctively, she wanted to run away.
Before she could even move, she was already lifted up by Alexander.
Evelyn screamed. The next second, she was thrown onto the bed by Alexander.
Evelyn felt like she was shaking with a concussion, just like a football that had been kicked out. She was so stunned that she hadn't recovered yet. The pressure on her body increased sharply. Evelyn looked up at Alexander in astonishment.
"Who told you I was gay?" Alexander looked down at Evelyn and asked.
"You... aren't you?" Evelyn shrank back and asked in reply.
She immediately realized she had said something stupid. Now she dared to pull the tiger's whiskers. She must be tired of living.
"You'll find out soon enough!" Alexander replied. He casually pulled a ribbon from the table, originally used to tie two apples, and tied Evelyn's hands together.
While struggling, Evelyn asked in fear, "What are you going to do?"
"What do you think?" Alexander asked leisurely as he tied her up.
"Don't mess around, or I'll call for help!" Evelyn said stutteringly, swallowing her saliva.
"Go ahead!" Alexander sat down and glanced at Evelyn.
Evelyn couldn't help but groan in her heart. She was finished. She had not only married a gay man, but also a sick gay man.
So she begged for mercy from Alexander, thinking about a way to escape. "I was wrong. Please let me go!"
"What were you wrong about?" Alexander asked in his spare time.
"I shouldn't have told the truth!" Evelyn pouted and replied.
"Eh?" Alexander's eyes narrowed.
"I shouldn't have said you're gay!" Evelyn quickly changed her words.
"Who told you I was gay?"
"Your nephew, Ethan Sterling. He said you were—!" Evelyn told him honestly. Anyway, Ethan had made a joke of them this afternoon!
"What was it?"
"Old, ugly, and short gay!" Evelyn continued after swallowing her saliva.
Although the actual situation was far from what Ethan had said, that was exactly what Ethan had said at the time!
Otherwise, she would have decided to sell herself... no, marry him!
"I'm old, ugly, and short, and you still want to marry me?" Alexander reached for the cigarette box, only to find he hadn't brought it with him. He had to give up.
"It's because you're gay that I—" Evelyn said half of it and stopped.
Alexander raised his eyes and looked at Evelyn. He added the second half of Evelyn's sentence.
"Because I'm gay, you were willing to marry me?"
Evelyn was in a dilemma. She nodded and shook her head at the same time!
"Why, because I'm gay, were you willing to marry me?"
"Can you promise not to hit me?" Evelyn shrank back and stared at Alexander cautiously.
"Okay!" Alexander nodded.
"You can't beat me!"
"No, I don't have the habit of solving problems with violence!"
Evelyn almost rolled her eyes. He didn't like to solve problems with violence? Then what did he mean by tying her up now?
Playing SM?
The next second, she quickly threw that violent thought out of her brain.
"Don't believe me?" Alexander looked at Evelyn, shaking his head and frowning.
"No!" Evelyn replied, feeling both right and wrong. Then she took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Can you untie the rope first?"
"Answer the question first!"
"If I answer, will you untie it?"
"Yes!"
"Because you're gay, we don't need to... You don't have to be together!"
"Do you reject this kind of thing?"
"It's not that I'm very against it..." As soon as Evelyn answered half the question, she felt there was something wrong with this sentence. She suddenly turned red and said, "If it's with a stranger, of course I would reject it. Wouldn't you?"
