Summerine could only stare at him, stunned.It was as if he had read her mind!
"In any case...we have all the time in the world to understand each other. We can take things one day at a time. But for now, I think I can safely guess the things you'd most likely want to hear from me."
Good,Summerine thought in relief. Actually, it wasn't just good. It was great.Terrificeven. She was just so glad that he seemed to have figured things out for both of them...since Summerine had been lost in translation from the moment he had described her eyes as expressive.
"To start with, I want you to know you have no reason to be ever frightened of me. You do not have to worry about me exercising my rights as a husband. I don't intend to consummate our marriage. There'd be no point doing so, all things considered."
Um...
"Nevertheless, I expect you to demonstrate wisdom and discretion about every matter concerning our relationship."
Summerine could also nod, with her mind still stuck on Point #2. Was he saying he meant her to die...a virgin?
"I expect you to conduct yourself in a manner befitting my wife. You'll accompany me when I need a date. Host parties on my behalf. Do the usual things that a billionaire's wife does."
Everything,he said...except for Point #2.
"Lastly, I have an extremely demanding schedule at work. It cannot be helped, but I trust you're used to this, given your own parents' schedule. Other than these things, you are free to do whatever else you wish with your time."
Summerine worked hard to concentrate on the rest of his words.
Monthly allowance.
Credit cards.
Mistress of her own home.
And so many other "perks".
He wasn't just offering her freedom from her parents' tyranny. But shockingly enough, her new husband was offeringeverythingon a silver platter, and all she needed to do in return was be his brainless, voiceless, andsexlesswife?
Where am I?
IT WAS A GOOD NINETY-minute ride to her new home, and Summerine didn't even realize she had fallen asleep until she heard her husband softly saying her name.
"I'm s-sorry."
