Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 127: $50 million for breach of contract
Looking at Eloise Thompson's surprised expression, Hector Rogers flipped the document open and spoke unhurriedly, "I warned you earlier, you didn't read it, it's a marriage agreement, from the moment you sign it, it has legal effect, so now, you are my nominal wife, I will order the marriage certificate to be done as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Hector Rogers had a faint smile in his eyes and it was clear that he was in a good mood.
This agreement was prepared by him yesterday and he knew he was bound to run into Eloise Thompson when he arrived at the school festival today.
He likes her and has even thought about the decision to walk together for the rest of their lives, but Hector Rogers knows Eloise Thompson won't say yes anyway, but he wants to try anyway.
Hector Rogers had already thought of many things to say to persuade Eloise Thompson to sign the document. But who knew that the little girl would be so thoughtless as to sign it without even looking at it.
But that suits him just fine.
Eloise Thompson was dumbfounded and instantly angry.
"Why didn't you just say that?"
She snatched it up and saw that it was indeed a marriage contract, signed by Hector Rogers, and Eloise Thompson double-checked it several times, still refusing to believe it. And what the hell kind of operation is this...
Coming back to her senses, Eloise Thompson spoke up instantly, "I thought you said you broke it off clean? Let me pay you back what I owe you, Hector Rogers, you lied to me."
At those words, Hector Rogers pursed his lips and spoke, "Yeah! I'm talking about a clean break with the past and let's start again, Eloise Thompson, that's what you owe me." Eloise Thompson is convinced how this man can be so full of shit and how she somehow got married when she didn't know anything.
"No, this agreement doesn't count, I don't know anything about it, it's not legally valid."
"I didn't force you to sign it, you didn't read the contents yourself."
At that, Eloise Thompson was so angry that she almost spat blood, how could she possibly have imagined that this would be a marriage agreement.
Hector Rogers smiled and spoke again, "That's fine if you want to renege, but you'll have to pay liquidated damages."
Eloise Thompson glanced at the agreement, a $50 million breach of contract, and she was so angry she wanted to spit blood again.
"Hector Rogers, you're being treacherous."
God knows how mixed emotions Eloise Thompson is feeling right now, one minute she thinks she's rid of him and they'll never see each other again, and the next minute they're legally married ...
Looking at Eloise Thompson's face, Hector Rogers pressed closer, his voice taking on a hint of danger, "Is it so hard for you to marry me?"
What woman in the world wouldn't want to marry Hector Rogers, and if it were anyone else, they'd be happy as a clam, except for Eloise Thompson, with her sad face.
"It's not a question of being embarrassed or not, Hector Rogers, where in my whole body do you think I deserve you?"
Eloise Thompson just doesn't get it. What does Hector Rogers like about himself? Does he really not think the two are a good match at all?
At this, Hector Rogers replied without hesitation, "Anywhere is worthy."
He likes her without any reason.
Eloise Thompson was instantly disillusioned and was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Hector Rogers spoke up and said, "All right! I won't push you, but Eloise Thompson, I want you to give me a chance, I've never done this to a girl in my life, and there are some things that I may not do as well as you would like, but I really want you to stay around."
A low, magnetic voice echoed in her ears and Eloise Thompson blushed instantly.
Is this a confession? That's it and you're saying it's not done well?
It's a fucking tease, right?
The agreement had been signed and Eloise Thompson knew there was nothing she could do to persuade Hector Rogers, so she finally said, "I need time to think about it."
Hector Rogers nodded in agreement, "Eloise Thompson, you can take as long as you want, but no more avoiding me and no more offers to break off our relationship or I will make it public that we are married."
At that, Eloise Thompson's hands shook with fear...?
"Hector Rogers, you're not kidding."
"You could have tried it."
Naturally Hector Rogers was scaring her, he was merely trying to get Eloise Thompson to stop running away from herself.
Eloise Thompson frowned slightly, she hadn't avoided him because of his mother... but it was something that she didn't want to open her mouth and tell Hector Rogers either.
"I'm tired, I want to go back and rest first."
Eloise Thompson avoided the question again and Hector Rogers frowned slightly, what was the reason? She still refuses to tell him why.
Eventually, Hector Rogers did not press the issue any further and sent Eloise Thompson back home.
After watching Eloise Thompson go upstairs, Hector Rogers went back to the office and not long after he arrived, Rupert Rogers asked with a gossipy look on his face, "Brother, how did it go? Did you run into your sister-in-law? Have you made up?"
Knowing that Reeva Lawson and Egbert Chumley were also at the school festival today, I wonder what didn't happen to these four as well? Will there be a fight, and I have to say that Rupert Rogers has a real inner drama going on. Hector Rogers spoke lightly, "Not great."
It's just a marriage.
"Huh?" At that, Rupert Rogers looked disappointed, "What's wrong? Sister-in-law is still avoiding you, huh?"
"Hmm." Hector Rogers nodded.
"Brother, have you ever felt that your sister-in-law has been acting strange these days, she doesn't look like she's avoiding you because of what happened in the past! And I can see that sister-in-law likes you a lot too, I wonder if something has happened in the last few days? That's why it's like this."
Rupert Rogers sensed it, Hector Rogers naturally sensed it long ago, and there must be a reason why Eloise Thompson is like this for no reason.
Thinking, Rupert Rogers then spoke up and suggested, "Brother, why don't you check it out and see what's going on, we won't know what's going on if this doesn't happen, and we won't be able to dissolve her mind." Hector Rogers lowered his eyes, thought about it, called for his assistant, and then ordered, "Check Eloise Thompson's whereabouts during this time to see if she's met anyone or had anything happen to her." The assistant led the way.
After he had left, Rupert Rogers spoke again, "By the way, brother, be prepared for the Rogers family and Lawson family dinner tonight! I can't make it tonight, so you're on your own!"
It may say it's just a party, but who doesn't know that! The elders of both families will surely take this opportunity to arrange his brother's marriage to Reeva Lawson.
Hector Rogers frowned slightly and didn't say anything, continuing to work with his head down, showing a look of indifference.
Rupert Rogers felt that he was worrying blindly about how a man as strong as his brother could be forced into marriage.
...
Later that evening, by dinner time, Reeva Lawson arrived at the office.
"Hector, it's almost time to go to the restaurant, my parents and aunts and uncles are waiting!"
Having been left alone at the hotel by Hector Rogers in the morning, Reeva Lawson was a little worried that he would back out and not go to the party, and if he didn't, what was the point of going alone!
