Chapter 681
What?
"Why are we going to the county's office?" Joanne asked dumbfoundedly.
Edwin looked at her and said in a sing-song tone, "what you wanted—a marriage certificate."
Since she had the guts to tell Grandma that she had liked him for five years, she must have been hoping for this
day for a long time.
"Are you crazy?!" Joanne pulled her hand out of his grip furiously. "I never said anything about marrying you!"
Edwin's eyebrow lifted as he looked at her and drawled, "What did you say? I didn't get that."
"You..." Joanne was crying internally, but she had no courage to yell at him anymore. All she did was look at him in
bewilderment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason he wanted to marry her was probably just to compensate her for what she had to go through that night,
right?
Joanne thought about all the possibilities and felt like she was about to puke from the overwhelming thoughts. She
waved at him and said, "Mister Atherton, you don't have to make up for anything. I'm content being single. We're all
adults, and it's normal to have flings, right?"
Edwin waited for her to finish and said, "It was your first time, right?"
Joanne's face flushed like a cherry, and her round eyes widened.
"If you really want to make up for it, just terminate the contract! I smashed the rice bowl on your head last time
and you took my virginity, so we're even!" spat Joanne.
She had already planned on printing out a big poster of Edwin and pining it up on her bedroom wall, just so she
could throw darts on it first thing she woke up every morning!
She could not believe that she would let a playboy like Edwin ruin her life, she refused to let her baby have a low
IQlike the biological father!
"I don't care; you killed my baby. Make me another one, or die."
Joanne felt chills down her spine. She had no more energy to argue with her, and all she wanted was to stab him
with a knife.
Unbeknownst to her, that was not even close to the ending. It was just the beginning. What Edwin said next landed
on her like a nuke.
"You've caused me great harm and trauma that night, and I've gathered both evidence and witnesses. You either
marry me, or I'll see you in court."
Joanne felt her soul leave her body as she stared at him blankly, her brain buzzing.
She must be hearing things, right?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA man had threatened to sue her for harassment...
Her lips quivered yet nothing was coming out of her mouth. His last sentence echoed over and over again in her
ears.
"I suggest you reconsider your decisions. We're both public figures, and if anything, rd just be seen as another
trashy man.
You, however...will have your future ruined."
Joanne thus agreed reluctantly, like a sad puppy who had just been bullied.
Before she went home to take the documents needed for the license, she tugged at Edwin's shirt, causing him to
stop and look at her.
Her eyes were red as they glistened with tears. Feeling bad from the sight of her, he asked, "what's wrong? Do you
feel unwell?"
"I... I haven't had the abortion yet," Joanne said weakly.

"I was going to get the pill, but I couldn't muster up the courage to go in. Should I go and do it now?"
