Johnny was dumbfounded.
The conversation came to an abrupt halt.
Jake, caught in the middle, widened his eyes and looked at his Uncle Johnny, then at his Aunt Tilda.
Floyd didn’t notice anything. She had been busy eating candy, but when she saw everyone stop talking, she approached her brother…
“Jake, what’s wrong with Aunt Tilda?”
Jake quickly covered her mouth. “Um… why hasn’t Mommy come back yet? Uncle Johnny, Aunt Tilda, I took Floyd out to find Mommy…”
After saying that, he grabbed Floyd’s little hand and ran outside.
Watching Jake and Floyd leave, Tilda snapped back to reality and stood up. “You guys enjoy your meal. I’m going home.”
Before she could even leave, her wrist was grabbed by a warm hand.
Tilda looked down at Johnny, who was still sitting in the chair. Her tone was harsh as she spoke, “Rest assured, I won’t get pregnant! I took the necessary precautions.”
“I actually didn’t mean-”
“Even if I were to sleep with my blind date and get pregnant, I would never come looking for you. You can record this as evidence! So you don’t need to continue acting, Mr. Chow. It’s quite disgusting to everyone, isn’t it?”
Every word of hers dripped with sarcasm.
Johnny didn’t know why. He considered himself a gentleman who wouldn’t say such harsh words to a woman! But whenever he encountered Tilda, it was as if his mouth disconnected from his brain, blurting out whatever came to mind!
“Wait a minute! Let me explain…” Johnny’s face still bore the red imprint of a slap, and combined with the injuries from the previous car accident that hadn’t fully healed, he looked even more disheveled.
Surprisingly, Tilda didn’t immediately leave. Instead, she just stared at him, wanting to see what else he could say. It would be better to resolve everything today!
In frustration, Johnny ran his fingers through his hair and licked his dry lips.
After struggling for a while, he slumped back in his chair with a sigh.
“I really don’t know how to pursue someone anymore. I’ve tried every trick in the book. Can’t you just tell me how to win you over?”
He had been holding back for a week!
He didn’t call Tilda or bother her downstairs at her parents’ apartment anymore, forcing himself to focus on work.
Initially, he had thought that maybe if they didn’t see each other for a few days, his feelings for Tilda would fade away or he could simply give up.
But that wasn’t the case at all!
Every time he saw Tilda, he still wanted to get close to her. Seeing her bid goodnight to someone else on WhatsApp made him want to smash her phone and break the other person’s phone too!
“Pursue me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll get pregnant?”
“I was just saying those things out of anger. Can’t you tell? In all these years of dating women, I’ve always been responsible and used protection during sex. It’s only with you-”
Johnny paused for a moment and continued, “It’s only with you that it’s different!”
“Well then, thank you very much! After taking emergency contraception pills, I spent almost a whole day vomiting and couldn’t even get out of bed due to dizziness. Should I be grateful to you?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Tilda sighed heavily and realized Rosalind and the others should be coming back soon, so she decided to say it directly.
“You said you wanted to pursue me and even mentioned marriage, right?”
“Yes! I mean it!” Johnny immediately perked up.
“Fine. I agree, but you must transfer all your assets to me and sign a prenuptial agreement. If we get married and you go out partying all night without returning home or have any ambiguous relationships with other women or even have an affair-if you break any of these rules voluntarily-then we will divorce and you will leave empty-handed!”
