Chapter 7 What If You Fall in Love

"Same name with me?"

"Yes." Zedd replied, "He is also called Jason Moore but in a miserable condition..."

Jason suddenly showed interest, "Define miserable."

"Terminal cancer, he gave up treatment and went home to recuperate." Zedd sighed, "Alas, people should care about their health and lives..."

"He only has six months to live, right?" Jason suddenly asked.

Zedd nodded, "Yeah... eh, how did you know?"

The corners of Jason's lips curved up in a cool and helpless smile.

It seemed the old man barked up at the wrong tree when he visited him in the hospital, and a wrong diagnosis was heard by him. He thought Jason was terminally ill and thus was so anxious to find him a marriage partner...

Therefore, in Alison's mind, he only had half a year to live.

This was quite interesting.

Jason silently folded the marriage certificate, "Tell the lawyer to draft a six-month marriage agreement."

...

In a café,

Selena Dean examined Alison's marriage certificate and touched the clear mark of a steel seal on the photo.

"Alison, have you lost your mind? Why didn't you consult me for such an important issue?"

"It's not that important." Alison held her milk tea, "Just six months."

"It's not a matter of duration."

Selena held her forehead, "You married someone. Do you know what marriage means? It means you are his lawful wife. What do you think a normal man would do to his wife?"

Alison asked, "... What?"

"Anything!" Selena got mad, "Legally."

"He is seriously ill... and doesn't seem to have much vigor..."

"You don't know, but many people become reckless near their ends. They would experience all the things they have never enjoyed before!"

"Don't sound so scary, but I think Jason is pretty normal." Reasoned Alison.

"Oh, right, you are the abnormal one. No normal people would do such a thing!"

Selena looked all helpless, "Unlike ancient times, we don't repay people's rescue with pledges of marriage nowadays. Your college failed to impart advanced knowledge to you."

"Don't be mad, the marriage certificate is obtained after all. I will... exercise caution."

Alison was a little scared by Selena's warning, and her mental preparation tended to collapse.

Jason wouldn't act rashly, would he?

Although the old man wished she could bear a seed for Moore Family, she didn't agree. Since the old man didn't insist, that wouldn't count.

"You can be careful about other things." A flicker of calculation flashed across Selena's eyes, "Except one thing."

"What is it?"

"Heart." Selena sighed, "You fall in love, but he only has six months to live..."

Alison was stunned by the question that she had never considered.

How would she fall in love? No one had reached her heart for years.

"The man didn't contact you again?" Selena suddenly asked.

"Who?"

"Who could it be? Charles Miller."

After a moment of daze, Alison mocked at herself, "He is a movie king now. How would he contact me? Besides, I don't have any connection with him."

Selena shot a disappointed look at her and sighed, "Don't be so silly again..."

Alison consoled her, "Don't look things from the bad side. Even if I don't marry Jason, my mother would arrange more blind dates for me. Compared with those ugly men, Jason is quite handsome."

"What makes your mother think she can meddle in your affairs? From 13 till your adulthood, did she ever give you a penny?"

Selena turned indignant, "Now she remembers you and wants to sell you to a wealthy family so that her own children will thrive. What a wild wish!"

"It's okay." Alison soothed Selena and said gently, "Since I'm already married, she could no longer exploit me. Jason is pretty handsome, so this is not bad."

Selena sulked, "Nonsense... didn't you say you would sign some six-month agreement?"

Alison nodded her head.

Selena advised, "Then you should add an extra clause to the agreement. You can leave him without claiming anything, but he must behave himself during the marriage!"

Alison was silent for a while, "Okay."
