Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Nancy's eyes dimmed, she shook her head, "No, I can't marry you."

Her words took a load off Paul's mind.

Right! You're not qualified to marry anyone, Paul hummed.

"I have been tarnished by Paul Burnett. I'm not a good match for Mr. Garcia."

What is this damn woman talking in her mind!?

Paul was satisfied with her refusal but could not accept the reason.

"And, Mr. Garcia, you know that I was divorced and even had a 4-year-old child…." Nancy smiled bitterly.

Marcos gazed at her with affection, "What if I say I don't mind all of your past?"

"Why?"

"To love someone is to like not only her merits but also her demerits," when he spoke, he was still on his knees, "Nancy, I like and accept everything about you."

"Hypocrisy!" Paul snorted.

"Nancy, marry me." There's only Nancy in Marcos' eyes.

"But..." Nancy fiddled with her fingers.

She was not affected, but she was frightened by men and marriage after being hurt by a failed marriage.

It's too abrupt for her to enter into another marriage so quickly.

She was not prepared. Besides, the happiness was so sudden and unreal, making her feel unsettled.

"What are you hesitating about?"

"We... we've known each other for only a short time."

"We met a long time ago," Marcos said with determination, "it's just a pity that I remember you while you already forgot me."

"I'm a straightforward person, I like you now, and I'll like you forever," his eyes were clear and steady, "and don't worry, your son will be my son."

"Nancy, let me ask you again. Will you marry me?"

Marcos asked seriously and nervously.

"You stupid woman, think it out before you answer!" Paul interrupted.

"I..." Nancy stuttered.

"You're nothing; no man will like you. It's just a show if you take it seriously, you lose," Paul's ghost-like voice floated over.

"Mr. Garcia, I..."

"If you marry him, you'll ruin him. For God's sake, don't harm others anymore," Paul chipped in again.

Nancy finally could not stand Paul; she turned back and shouted at him, "Shut up!"

"Shut up!" Of one accord, Marcos also scolded with impatience.

The two parties and even Crystal also wanted to seal Paul's mouth with tape.

Paul's face turned gloomy instantly. He stared hard at Nancy.

"Nancy, say yes?" Marcos pressed about her.

Nancy took a deep breath, turned to look at Crystal for help.

"I can't help you with this. But no matter what decision you make, you have to think about the consequences. And, you should know that I'll support you no matter what," Crystal spoke.

"Thanks, Crystal."

Paul began to be anxious.

"You're so dead. Damn woman, what do you mean?!"

That was a prelude to saying "yes."

Again, Nancy gasped hard and looked into Marcos' eyes.

"Mr. Garcia, you've been really nice to me these days. No man is as thoughtful as you are to me."

"Nancy Carter!!" Roared Paul.

Her words were like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky for Paul.

"I feel very comfortable around you. Even If I'm silly, stupid, you would not detest me. You always help me up when I fall; remind me when I do stupid things..."

"Nancy-Carter!!!" Paul shouted again.

"However, I'm not alone now. I have a son. I can't just think about myself, I have to think about my son, too. So, I need time to think about it."

"Nancy Carter!!!" Paul cracked his knuckles.

Is there a need to think about that? You should reject it at once! Paul roasted in mind.

"How long do you need? I'll give you enough time," said Marcos.

Crystal also agreed with Nancy. After all, Marco's appearance was bizarre.

Why did he treat Nancy so well? She believed that there must be some secret or even trick in it.

After a while of hesitation, Nancy replied, "I want to ask about Clark's opinion, can I?"

Paul did not know they had picked Clark back; he thought Clark was still in Nathan's hand.

"Fine," Marcos nodded, "I'll take you to him now."

"No! We can't see him now."

"We can talk on the phone."

Eric chuckled, "It seems that you can not wait anymore."

Nancy turned to Crystal again to ask for her advice.

Crystal hesitated for a moment and said, "Just make the call. But you only can take Clark's opinion for reference. Most importantly, you have to follow your heart. Nancy, you have to learn to make your own decisions."

Nancy nodded and picked up the phone.

"Didn't you say Clark is in Nathan's hand?" Paul squinted his eyes and doubted.

"Yes, he is. But that doesn't stop him from receiving calls," Crystal explained cleverly, "do you think everyone is as sadistic as you?"

These days Nancy had often called Clark. "Nancy Carter, turn on the speakerphone. I'd like to hear what the lad will say." Paul narrowed his eyes again.

Who would expect Clark to have the power to decide Nancy's marriage?

Damn! Paul somehow had a sense of foreboding.

As soon as getting through to Clark, Nancy turned on the speakerphone.

"Mommy, where are you? When will you pick Clark up? I miss you so much."

Receiving the call from his mother, Clark appeared to be very happy.

"Err... Clark, listen, I miss you too. But I'm calling you for a very important question."

"Is Mommy going to find a new daddy for me?"

New daddy? Paul flew into a rage.

This stupid woman must have mentioned it to Clark, or how would he know about the new daddy thing as soon as he picked up the phone!

"Baby, you're so smart!?" Nancy marveled, "Why do you know? I haven't said anything."

"Because Mommy has kept praising Marcos, you said he treats you very well..."

The foreboding in Paul's heart became stronger and stronger.

Didn't see Clark for a while, Paul found that his thinking and speaking became clearer.

Nancy took a quick look at Marcos.

Everyone in the dining room was listening to their conversation, making Nancy a little embarrassed.

Clark's naive voice sounded again, "So, will we drop daddy?"

"Err... you can say so... Will Clark be sad?"

"Yay!" To everyone's surprise, Clark shouted happily, "Mommy's finally going to change a daddy for me! I hate him the most..."

Paul knitted his brows hard; his heart seemed to be pricked by thousands of needles. All the sights in the dining room focused on him in an instant.

Sarcasm and sympathy were shown on everyone's face as if saying, "What a loser, even his son didn't want him..."

"Mommy, change Daddy!" Clark said excitedly, "Change him, change him!"

Failing to bear any longer, Paul gave out an angry roar, "Clark! You're so dead!"

As quick as a cheetah, he rushed over, aiming to rob Nancy's cell phone.

Fortunately, Marcos was agile. He stopped Paul in time.

"Mommy...? I seem to hear Daddy's voice?"

Clark muttered in a weak and timid voice.

Marcos was covering Paul's mouth, and he could not utter exact words.

Nancy scratched her head.

"You heard it wrong, baby. So, you agreed to have a new daddy?"

"Yes! I want a new daddy. Mommy, buy me a new daddy!"

"We can't buy a daddy... So, is it okay for you to have Uncle Garcia be your new daddy?"

"As long as I don't have the daddy I have now…."

That was to say, he didn't care who his new father would be, as long as not Paul.

Paul bit hard on Marcos's palm when he struggled, making it bleed.
