Chapter 10 Post-Nuptial Agreement
In the shower, Jennifer’s head became clearer. She suspected that Ivan was waiting for her to fall into the trap.
He wasn’t at all surprised to see her just now.
Ten minutes later, Jennifer walked out of the bathroom. Mary was waiting for her outside. Was this to prevent her from looking for the children?
“Ms. Brooks, have some hot tea.” Marry handed the tea with both hands.
Jennifer reached out and took it. “Thanks.” She drank it and handed the empty cup back to Marry.
“Mr. Marsh is waiting for you in the study on the second floor. Go upstairs and turn right.”
Jennifer had a bad feeling. “Okay.”
She went upstairs with uncertainty. Would Ivan let the children go? It didn’t look like so.
Whatever! She must fight for her children!
Turning right upstairs to the study, she glanced at the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He really got an amazing posture.
Hearing the footsteps at the door, Ivan turned around, fixing his eyes on Jennifer’s exquisite little face, “I did the paternity test.” His voice was low and he went straight to the point.
“I don’t deny that the children are yours,” Jennifer replied fearlessly, standing still, bravely facing him. “So what?”
“Sign this.” Ivan handed Jennifer an agreement, “This is the only way you can see your children.”
Jennifer was shocked when she saw the words written on the agreement. “Post-nuptial Agreement”!
“I’ve got the marriage licenses. Someone will send them over early tomorrow morning.” Ivan said, “This is a post-nuptial agreement, if you can accept it, sign it. Tell me which item you can’t accept, and we can talk about it.”
Jennifer was stunned.
She chuckled, unable to suppress the ridiculous thoughts in her heart, “I’m here to take the children away, not to marry you!”
“This is an order, not a negotiation.” Ivan didn’t sound angry, “There is zero chance that you can take back the children. The court will definitely give them to me. If you don’t believe it, you can try.”
As expected, Jennifer’s expression changed…
Jennifer tried to stay calm. The person she was facing was Ivan, who basically controlled Arkpool City. There was nothing he couldn’t do.
Jennifer panicked, feeling passive.
“Think about it.” Ivan’s eyes darkened, “But I have to remind you that I never fail to get the things that I want.”
Hearing this, Jennifer felt deflated.
In the next few seconds, time seemed to freeze.
Jennifer reached out for the agreement and looked up at Ivan. “Why are you bundling yourself to marriage?”
“Because the children can’t be kept secret forever.” Ivan confessed, “I don’t want to be regarded as a playboy.” Because of his father, he cares a lot about that.
“But a marriage without love cannot be bound by an agreement.” Jennifer tried to persuade him to give up.
The man’s cold handsome face was suddenly covered with frost, “You’ve given birth to my children behind my back and hiding it from me for seven years. How shall I punish you for that?”
Jennifer was a little afraid. To see the children, she could only compromise. She must not provoke him.
She looked at the agreement in front of his face.
1. Go home before 7 p. m.
2. In front of the children, we must play the roles of a loving couple.
3. Not allowed to have intimate contact with the opposite sex. Being photographed by the media will damage the reputation of the Marsh family. If that happened, we would divorce, and you will never see children again.
4. We will announce to the public that we had secretly married seven years ago.
…
Finishing reading, Jennifer frowned slightly, “Those are all to restrain me. What about you? Can you really abide by these rules?”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes.”
Looking at each other, the air seemed to pause temporarily.
A thunderclap resounded through the clouds. The lightning outside the window was dazzling!
Heavy rain was still pouring.
Jennifer didn’t want to sign the agreement, but for the children, she had no choice.
Ivan handed her a pen. He knew she would sign it.
Jennifer took the pen and signed her name. She had been kind of confused during the whole process.
“Daddy! Mommy!”
Jennifer turned around and saw Alfie and Diana come into the study hand in hand. She crouched down excitedly and reached out to hold the children.
Alfie said with excitement, “Daddy said you and him are married. Is that true?”
“Mommy.” Diana asked in a cute voice while playing with her hair, “We’ll never separate again, right?”
