Chapter Sweet 17
Set a Small Goal First
Seeing her blushing face, George said, “It’s okay to sign the contract. We can renegotiate the terms.”
“Okay!” Sigrid nodded quickly. As long as she didn’t have to ‘do the dirty‘ at night, she could take a few steps back on the other points. This was not a problem at all!
For the next ten minutes, they sat in front of the computer and considered their conditions.
George had already prepared the way to deal with her. With her sitting next to him and smelling her faint body fragrance, he couldn’t help but smile and think of the past.
The year he was in the first grade of primary school, she had been bullied by several naughty boys in the class who wanted to attract her attention because she was so cute. Those boys deliberately pulled her braids, which made her cry in pain.
Enchanted, he handed her a handkerchief. She took it without hesitation and wiped her tears and snot on it Perhaps it was because he had taken the initiative to hand over the handkerchief, the little girl thought he was a nice guy. Then she cried so hard that she threw herself right into his arms and wiped her tears. and snot with his uniform shirt…
George had never been so embarrassed. When the day’s classes had finished, he went home wearing a shirt full of tears and snot.
He knew who she was because he investigated her identity after the incident, but then they didn’t see each other for a long time after that encounter.
The second time they met was five years later after he had successfully taken over his family business. She was out eating with Rebecca and he was sitting at the next table.
Since then, he had intentionally or unconsciously taken care of the Vincent family and successfully gotten to know the two sisters.
All the people in their social circle guessed that he was interested in one of the two sisters.
Indeed, he had a crush on Sigrid.
But three years ago, when she was with Edward, George’s parents happened to ask about it.
He had his pride. Seeing that she and Edward had a good relationship at that time, he chose Rebecca but kept a close watch on Sigrid and Edward all the time to see when they would break up.
“Well, they will definitely break up because sooner or later she will be mine.‘ George thought to himself
then.
George looked at Sigrid’s small face in front of him now. His usual cold expression softened a little, and the corners of his mouth were slightly lifted at this moment.
“Since we are married, how can I let you go? he thought to himself.
This little girl was conservative. She had not had a sexual relationship with Edward in those nearly three years. He had to do this step by step so as not to scare her off.
1 should first set a small goal and let her fall in love with me first.‘ George told himself.
Sigrid felt that the revised contract was almost complete. She turned her face and was about to say something, but her lips gently wiped past his chin…
She was shocked and quickly leaned back. When she saw George getting closer, she got a little nervous. She was about to move back further away from him when a big hand wrapped around her waist. Then she

heard the man’s low and sexy voice, “Be careful, you’ll fall.”
Sigrid looked at the large space beside her and really didn’t think that she would fall down!
Could take his behavior as he was taking advantage of her?

‘No, no, he is so upright, how could he possibly be hitting on me! He doesn’t like me!‘ she tried to convince herself.
Sigrid quickly pointed to the computer screen and said, “I’ve added all the things I wanted. Do you have anything else to add? If not, we can print out and sign the contract.”
George’s eyes moved from her face to the computer screen and scanned the content roughly.
But after a moment, he fixed his eyes on one of the items in the contract and asked, “Want a divorce in the future?”
Let’s Get the License
Sigrid felt that the temperature around her seemed to have dropped a little. Realizing that George might
be
angry, she quickly said, “I can accompany you to put on a show in front of your parents, but you can’t do this all your life. Maybe we will meet someone we like and want to get married…”
George frowned and was silent for two seconds. Then he said, “Okay, Let’s get the marriage license.”
“Huh?” Sigrid was shocked. “There’s no need to get a marriage license, is there?”
She thought that if there was a marriage license and in the future she met someone she liked, she would have to get remarried. If there was no marriage license, they would be a fake couple and it would be more convenient to split up. They would need only to explain it verbally to the public.
“Yes, we need.” he responded. It seemed that he was worried that she would not agree, so he added, “If there’s a marriage license, we’ll be a legally married couple and you can get a property settlement if there is a divorce.”
Sigrid was a little tempted when she heard this. After all, George’s wealth was not something she felt she could count up. It was just that one should not be too greedy. If they were not truly married, how could she take advantage of a divorce to get a property settlement?
“You must not refuse,” George insisted.
Sigrid was speechless. ‘How could it be that he’s forcing me to take his money? she thought to herself incredulously.
Seeing that she couldn’t get out of it, Sigrid had to nod her head in agreement.
Then George added his conditions. It was nothing more than acting like a loving couple with him in front of outsiders and for the five years that the contract was valid, she couldn’t have an intimate relationship with any other men.
These were conditions that Sigrid could accept. Looking through the whole contract, she wasn’t being asked to do anything embarrassing with him at night…
‘Ahem, ahem, did this mean that they would only appear as husband and wife in front of outsiders but that in private, there was no need to have intimate physical contact? she wondered.
Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief and then said, “There is something I still want to discuss with you.”
Noticing that she had softened her voice, George was satisfied. He guessed that she might want to discuss how much money he would give her each month. “Just tell me,” he said but he thought he would agree on whatever she asked for.
*Can we sleep in separate rooms?” Sigrid asked.
That was not exactly what George had imagined! He turned his head to look at her and said, “Say that again.” Fortunately, he hadn’t spoken out what he just thought loud, or he would have regretted it!
“Can we sleep in separate rooms?” Sigrid looked at him expectantly. “Anyway, we only need to keep up the facade in front of your family. It doesn’t matter if we sleep in separate rooms in private, right?”
“No!” George frowned and looked at her in a rather unfriendly manner. “How can we not sleep together?”
But… don’t you want me to deceive your elders? We can sleep in separate rooms.” Sigrid frowned.
“No, we can’t.” He refused decisively and said with a serious expression, “There are spies of the elders in our family. They will definitely discover it if we sleep in separate rooms.”

Sigrid suddenly understood. So that was what it was! In that case, they must sleep in the same room! And in order not to be discovered, they must be on the same bed together! Otherwise, it would be done for if servants found out their secret.
Only then did she realize that she would be sleeping with the man in front of her for a long time.
“All right then.”
In the end, Sigrid agreed. After all, he could bankrupt the Vincent family with just a word.
“Since there’s no problem, we’ll get the marriage license tomorrow.”
Okay,” she said, but then thought to herself, ‘This is all happening too quickly!”
“In order to celebrate our marriage, why don’t we take a shower together tonight?” He shot her a meaningful look..
