Chapter 12

Some time later, in the large living room, only Mr. and Mrs. Solis and Mr. Harris were left discussing the remaining matters of the two families' marriage.

Quentin stood in the windy hallway, lighting a cigarette and slowly taking sips.

Diego stood next to him, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cigarette.

"Are you really going to marry Amanda?"

Diego suddenly spoke up, only to hear Quentin laugh softly.

"Have I ever joked with you?"

Diego was silent for a moment. Indeed, Quentin has always been a person who says one thing and not two.

He smiled and said emotionally:

"That nephew of yours was cruel enough! But he probably didn't expect that the person last night was Amanda, right?"

Quentin slowly exhaled a stream of smoke, squinting at Diego.

"What? Already dissatisfied with this brother-in-law?"

Diego shrugged.

"It's just that stupid girl who doesn't see people properly."

He was close to Quentin, of course, he had many encounters with Javier. Although that guy hid his true nature very well, he was not an innocent teenager like Amanda who only looked at people's appearance. .

"Is that so? Makes me think you're dissatisfied because the person in your heart soon colluded with someone else."

Quentin seemed to laugh but did not speak, only briefly seeing Diego's darkened face if he could still hear the sound of a face slapping somewhere.

"You shut up!"

Liking someone for two years, Diego truly did not expect Elena Lewis to be such a fake person.

No wonder Amanda took it upon herself to threaten him and not let him have anything to do with her.

Thinking of this, Diego suddenly realized something.

He frowned slightly and said:

"The story of Javier catching fish with both hands seems like Amanda already knew, and even threatened me to not let me get close to Elena."

Quentin slightly lowered his eyes, threw the cigarette to the ground and crushed it with his foot. He lightly replied:

"So what do you know? She still cares about Javier."

Diego also sighed softly and reached out to pat Quentin on the shoulder, saying thoughtful words.

"This time, she so easily accepted the marriage, there must be a trick, it will be hard for you in the future."

Amanda's personality has been stubborn and bold since he was a child. Once she caused trouble, it made the whole family uneasy.

Quentin curled his lips and pushed his hand away, replying as lightly as a feather:

"She's still young, it's good to mess around a little."

He was just afraid that she wouldn't mess around, otherwise he wouldn't know how to get close to her.

Diego's lips twitched and he raised his hand to point at Quentin.

"Having parents at home is enough, don't let her climb on the roof to remove tiles."

Quentin laughed, this time he reached out and patted Diego's shoulder.

"Take care."

Leaving Diego with a grim face, Quentin strode away on his own. After a while, he stopped someone and asked: "

Where is your lady?"

The servant respectfully replied:

"Mr. Quentin, the young lady is in the back garden."

Quentin nodded and turned around to go in that direction. He had been to the Solis family a few times because of his good memory, so he quickly found his way to the back garden.

In the distance, he saw Amanda squatting next to a flower cluster, obviously not in a good mood because the rose cluster was about to be stripped bare by her.

"Bastard Javier Harris, damn Quentin Harris. The Harris family men are damned!"

Amanda plucked a flower petal. The original plan was for her to approach Quentin Harris to spark a separation, but she ended up becoming the youngest aunt of that bastard.

Even though Amanda lived two lives, she couldn't accept this, but if the matter was this big, it wouldn't be right for her to not marry Quentin.

At least being the youngest aunt puts a burden on Javier's head.

Thinking of this, Amanda felt a little more comfortable, leaving the flower cluster with only one branch, and stood up to brush her hands.

"What are you doing here?"

Quentin walked up to her. Obviously, he could see the sadness and unhappiness on her face, but he could only see it in her eyes and keep it in his heart.

Amanda glanced at him, turned around, walked to the nearby swing and sat down, replying faintly:

"What's the point of picking flowers?"

Quentin looked at that pitiful flower cluster, nodded slightly and said:

"Picking is also enthusiastic, isn't it?"

He said and then naturally sat down next to her. Amanda opened her eyes in surprise when he pushed her and had to move her butt to the side.

"What are you doing out here?"

Now every time she saw him, she was both embarrassed and angry, wishing she could kick this guy to the ground.

Faced with her attitude as if he had met an enemy, Quentin still calmly replied concisely.

"Find you."

Amanda moved over to sit close to the edge, frowned and asked angrily:

"What are you looking for me for?"

Quentin let out a breath as if to relieve his worries, he said:

"Tomorrow I will come pick you up, let's go get the certificate together."

All the plans she made for the future were all messed up overnight.

"I know."

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly remembered something important and quickly said:

"Oh, one more thing, in my contract with the company, it says I'm not allowed to fall in love or get married while my contract with the company is still valid."

In the chaos of the past two days, she completely forgot about signing a contract with the company, and now that she had time to think aimlessly, she suddenly remembered.

Amanda spoke a bit hastily at this point, but He calmly asked like an outsider:

"So?"

Naturally, Amanda felt a little short of breath. She was secretly grateful for 12 years of education, so she restrained herself from rushing over and scratching His stiff face a few times.

"So it's because of you that I'm about to violate the contract and have to pay people back, and there's a very good chance of retiring!"

Amanda shouted directly at Quentin's face. He was a bit stunned for a few seconds, seeing her frown as if she wanted to reach out her claws and jump over.

He was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he found it a bit funny.

"Do you want me to help you deal with it?"

He narrowed his eyes and gently bent closer to her. This time, She did not avoid. She glared at him.

"It's not that I want to, it's that I have to help!"

If it wasn't for him, how could she have been forced into such a tight spot?

Since you are the mastermind, it is most reasonable for you to handle this matter.

Furthermore, Starlight entertainment company that she signed a contract with is a subsidiary of the Harris family.

Quentin raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"I have the conditions."

Amanda's eyes widened to the point of almost bulging out. She was so irritated that she burst out laughing.

"Let me try!"

She swears! If Quentin dares to set any conditions, then one day she will tell him why the seawater is blue.

The corner of his lips curved, he raised two fingers to touch the corner of her lips and gently.

"Just smile once."

Amanda suddenly became stunned, her eyes no longer glaring at him, the corners of her lips were still slightly pursed like an electric shock.

Quentin thought, if she were a cat right now, surely her fur standing up because of anger would gradually subside, right?

Looking at her current expression, he couldn't help but remember her expression of wanting to strangle him yesterday. The corners of her lips couldn't help but smile and suddenly asked: "We didn't use any safety measures that night, did we?

What if she was really pregnant? Quentin couldn't help but think for a moment.

Amanda was so embarrassed that he pushed his hand away and said angrily:

"Don't worry, I already took the medicine!"

She is also not a naive girl who doesn't know how to find her own way out after things happen.

It's just that Quentin's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly:

"Do you know that birth control pills are very harmful to the body?"

The first time she saw his gloomy appearance like this, Amanda suddenly felt a little shy, pursed her lips and moved back a little.

"I...! Just reluctantly."

She also couldn't be in a state where she couldn't see through his thoughts and let herself become pregnant with a child in just one crazy night.

Quentin took a deep breath and stood up straight.

"Next time, don't take that medicine anymore. It's late. Go rest quickly."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer and turned around to leave. Amanda looked at his back and made a slight noise.

"It turns out that your temperament is not at all gentle. If you say you're angry, you'll immediately turn away."

Actually, Quentin wasn't angry at her, but at himself. If he had been a little more careful, she wouldn't have needed to take that medicine..
