Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Be My Real Girlfriend
Seeing this line, Craig Landers’ eyes flickered slightly.
"So, you all already know about Damon’s other identity?"
Leia Quinn nodded, flipping through her phone and replying to a few messages.
Craig Landers rubbed his chin, looking at the woman who had her head bowed, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Cindy, sweetheart, I can keep the secret for you and Elly, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Hearing this, Leia Quinn looked up at him, silently asking what he meant with her eyes.
Craig Landers approached her, raising his hand to gently hold the back of her head, his thin lips parting slightly, "I want you to be my real girlfriend."
She could no longer resist his closeness.
Nor could she ignore his existence!
The man’s light breath brushed against her face, stirring a slight itch.
A pair of beautiful eyes, brimming with starlight, reflected a small image of herself.
Leia Quinn’s heart pounded irregularly once more, and she swallowed, reaching out to push him away.
What’s this?
Is it quid pro quo?
Craig Landers grabbed her hand, "Cindy, I’m serious, I want to be with you. Promise me, okay?"
The expression on the man’s face was solemn, with no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Leia Quinn’s emotions surged, and she turned her head away without saying a word.
She didn’t dislike him, but...
"Not agreeing? Fine, since Cindy is so heartless, I can only..."
Craig Landers slightly straightened his body, taking out his phone.
Was he planning to call Damon?
This man, can he be any more shameless!
She didn’t say she wouldn’t agree!
Can’t he give her a little time?
Leia Quinn snatched Craig Landers’ phone, frowning and glaring at him.
Craig Landers chuckled lightly, his hand gently brushing over her hair, "Cindy, does this mean you agree? I’ll count to three, and if you don’t speak, I’ll take it as default. One, two, three!"
In just a second, he finished counting to three.
The speed was so fast, she couldn’t even react.
Leia Quinn was somewhat exasperated, finding Craig Landers’ childish side rather endearing at that moment.
Alright then!
For her best friend, she’ll sacrifice herself a little!
"I’ll make it clear first, we can be in a relationship, but you’re not allowed to do things I don’t want to do!"
She’s not that open-minded and doesn’t want to be someone’s outlet for certain needs.
"Cindy sweetheart, does that mean I can’t do things that involve physical intimacy?"
Looking at the line Leia Quinn typed, Craig Landers raised his eyebrows inquiringly.
Leia Quinn glared at him, rolling her eyes, indicating acquiescence.
"Then hugs and kisses should be okay, right?"
Craig Landers had already sat beside her, his hand wrapping around her waist.
Rogue!
Leia Quinn snorted internally, discontentedly elbowing him.
"Ow! Cindy sweetheart, be gentle, don’t murder your husband!"
Craig Landers feigned pain, holding his chest as he spoke.
Leia Quinn cast him a sidelong glance, muttering softly, "I’m just this violent, if you don’t like it, you can leave."
Craig Landers chuckled, holding her shoulders so she’d face him, "How could I not like it? As long as it’s you, I like it."
The man’s charming eyes exuded a hint of tenderness, his low voice irresistibly captivating.
Leia Quinn’s heart raced once again, watching his handsome face approaching, she closed her eyes...
Since she agreed to be his girlfriend, hugs and kisses were unavoidable.
The main thing was, she didn’t mind!
"Mr. Landers, I’ve bought everything."
The door opened, and Craig Landers’ assistant came in, laden with bags, panting heavily.
The romantic scene was interrupted, and Craig Landers was a bit frustrated.
Today, he just wanted to have a romantic moment, why was it so difficult!
Craig Landers shot a chilly glance at the assistant.
The assistant also realized his mistimed entry, immediately looking guilty.
He quickly put down the things, glanced at his boss, and the flushed Leia Quinn, "Sorry, I forgot there are still things I haven’t bought, I’ll go buy them now."
The door closed with a click.
The room returned to silence.
But the warmth of the moment had already been forcibly interrupted.
Leia Quinn’s face was burning, she glared at Craig Landers fiercely, tossing off the covers to get out of bed.
Although Craig Landers’ good mood was interrupted, he was still feeling pretty good.
He quickly held her down as he saw Leia Quinn about to get out of bed.
"Cindy, you’re injured, don’t run around. What do you want? Tell me, and I’ll get it for you."
Leia Quinn pursed her lips, managing to squeeze out two words, "Move aside."
"Cindy, are you mad?"
"No, just move aside!"
"I won’t, unless you tell me what you want to do?"
Craig Landers was holding down Leia Quinn, preventing her from getting off the bed.
Leia Quinn was both angry and amused, "Craig Landers, I need to go to the restroom!"
She was about to burst!
Craig Landers: "..."
So that’s what it was!
He thought she was mad!
Craig Landers chuckled lightly, wrapping his arm around her waist, lifting her up sideways.
Leia Quinn was startled by the sudden lift, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Craig Landers, what are you doing?"
"Cindy sweetheart, you need the restroom, I’ll carry you there."
"I can walk by myself."
"Mm, I know, so what?"
Leia Quinn: "..."
She was rendered speechless.
...
The next day.
Elara Don finished her work, feeling a little distracted.
She had spoken to Leia Quinn over the phone.
Leia Quinn told her that Craig Landers knew about Bea.
Although he promised to keep it a secret, her unease grew stronger.
She had a feeling that this secret would soon be exposed.
No, she had to make plans in advance.
After thinking it over, she applied for leave with Ethan Lane, deciding to find a law firm to understand her current situation.
She needed to prepare for fighting Damon Hawke for child custody.
Elara Don found a well-known law firm online.
Upon entering, she was arranged to meet with a lawyer for consultation by the receptionist.
"Miss Thorne, you mean, your friend gave birth to a pair of twins, one is with the father and the other with her, and now she wants to fight for custody of both children?"
The lawyer inquired.
Elara Don nodded, a trace of unease flashing across her face.
Not wanting to reveal herself, she had to claim it was a friend seeking consultation.
"Miss Thorne, can you provide more details? After all, fighting for child custody involves many aspects."
The lawyer took notes and inquired.
Elara Don opened her mouth, hesitatingly recounting the process of how she gave birth and the current situation.
The lawyer furrowed their brow slightly, "Miss Thorne, from your current description, I believe the father will most likely regain custody of both children. Your chances aren’t great."
Hearing this, Elara Don felt a chill in her heart.
"Why?"
"Because the father’s conditions are superior to yours in every way."
Is that the only reason?
Elara Don’s face turned slightly pale, her fingers clenching, "Even though his conditions are better, the children love being with me."
