"I don't mind if you have other women, as long as you don't have illegitimate children while I'm alive."

"I'm not a person who indulges in beauty."

Mrs. Lopez narrowed her eyes, and she stared at Ethan for a moment: "What are you planning to marry me for?"

"Your connections can help me quickly expand my business plan." Ethan's smile was very official, "Aren't you marrying me for a stable life?"

She curled her lips consciously: "I might live to be more than 100 years old. At that time, all your good years will be wasted on me. Don't regret it."

"Let's sign it." Ethan calmly pushed the drafted prenuptial agreement in front of her.

"By the way, your ex-sister-in-law asked me to convey something to you. She said she would come and take away what belonged to her son."

"Brace? Yes, these things should have belonged to him. It's a pity that when my brother died, no one knew that he would leave a posthumous child."

"You are really cruel. Even if you know that he is your nephew, you still refuse to give him half a Nat. It stands to reason that he and your blood relationship are the closest."

"But we have never met before, so I can't talk about the feeling of uncle and nephew to him. Besides, my brother and I had a mediocre relationship in the past. Why should I leave the inheritance to someone I don't know well?" Ethan sneered, Signing his name on the bottom of the agreement Lopez returned to him, "I heard she was very unhappy with my move to sell the Three Lions."

"Yes, but she didn't offer to buy it from me either."

Ethan was silent for a moment, he tidied up the documents on the table, and did not answer the conversation.

"How did she treat you in the past? It's okay?" Mrs. Lopez still sighed, "I have to say, you are really a cold-blooded animal."

"Don't mention me." Ethan raised his eyes, "Do you have any living relatives?"

Mrs. Lopez was taken aback for a moment, then smiled indifferently: "No."

"is it?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious about who is your heir to the estate."

She couldn't help giggling, "I have no heir, sweetheart." Under Ethan's slightly surprised gaze, she continued, "I'm going to spend all my savings before I die, leaving nothing .”

Today, she brought him a gift they both gave each other—a gift that was both joyful and terrifying.This gift came at an inopportune time, and it would tear the final veil like a sharp knife, leaving them nowhere to turn.

Their relationship was very dangerous, like a wild animal galloping through the forest, it will either escape the hunter's bow or fall to the ground and go to heaven.The same goes for them, one moment they reciprocate you, and the next moment he admits that what he fell in love with is only her appearance. Of course, she also clearly told him that she did not marry him out of love.

The night that suffocated her passed, and Edwin stood up from the sofa: "You——is everything going well?"

"Edwina," he whispered, "I said I would come back to you."

She noticed that he avoided her question, which was an ominous sign, and her heart sank.But Haydn suddenly ran over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders tightly, pressing her to his chest.

There was a wound on his cheek: "You are hurt."

"It's nothing." He smiled slightly, a little bit bitterly, "at least they didn't kill me."

"So, what happened?"

He gently stroked the top of her head with his cheek: "I persuaded them to give me a little more time, and I will use other methods to make up for it..."

His arms are reliable and warm, his hands are gently stroking her hair, he bows his head to give her another kiss, a new kiss that will dispel all shadows and fears——

But she saw the shadow hiding behind his shallow smile, so Edwin pulled his face away and pushed him away: "How do you make it up to them?"

"A Death Eater named Karkaroff was deported after making a deal with the Ministry of Magic, and I'm going to kill him." Haydon rolled her shoulders, "One traitor gets rid of another traitor, that's all. "

"You believed what they said? No, Haydon, Death Eaters are not that easy to deal with. I thought you should at least have heard of their usual methods—"

"That was in the past." He didn't take it seriously, "Now the remnants of the Death Eaters can't protect themselves, and they don't have the extra energy to trouble me."

"Really? What if they let another traitor get rid of you?" Edwina couldn't help raising his voice, "You really have made deals with them for so many years, Haydn, you don't even know about Death Eaters How dishonest and double-faced. Even if you're not afraid of death yourself, at least think about it for us! I don't want to die by wrong—"

"Enough, Edwina." Haydn said, the last trace of a smile disappeared from his face, "I came back with great difficulty, but you accused me of not doing well enough..."

"I know it's not easy for you, but how can you listen to their nonsense?"

"Things are different now, aren't they?" There was dark anger in his voice. "I can feel that you've changed a lot in the few short days I've been away."

Her eyes didn't blink. "That's right. Everything has changed."

"What happened?" He grabbed her shoulder with terrifying strength, "You see me wandering in a dangerous place, are you going to abandon me?"

"Not really," she said, "Listen—"

"Have you found your next home yet?"

"Stop!" Edwin pulled hard to break free from him, and she took a step back, "You will hurt us."

Haydn let go of her hand suddenly, as if she had cast a curse.He trembled and took a step back, his face pale: "Yes... I will hurt you..." He sighed weakly, and the calmness he had pretended since entering the door finally disappeared, "They won't let you go , but if I don’t even try, I’ll just die faster... Don’t worry, I won’t implicate you and Blaise. Are you going to divorce me? I’m going to draw up an agreement..."

"You're an idiot, Haydn," she said in a pause.

"Yes, I am."

She took a few steps forward and extended her hands to him. Haydn hesitated for a moment, and slowly took those soft hands.She took his hand and placed it on her stomach accurately: "I'm pregnant."

She watched him and saw all the things their child meant turning up in his mind one by one.When she saw a fiery, almost gushing joy appearing on his face at first, she was finally relieved a little, no matter what, this good news could at least make him persist in continuing to deal with the Death Eaters, and Not foolishly falling into their trap.

But then she saw that joy fade, because he began to understand that this child came at a very bad time-if he was killed by Death Eaters, the unborn child would have a child with his or her half-brother. Same fate; if the Death Eaters had heard the news, they might not have taken the risk to rob his wife and children... Finally, she saw that he had decided not to think about it for a while.

"It's really..." he said slowly, the fire sparkling in his eyes again. "It's wonderful... Edwina, dear—it's wonderful. How long have you known?"

She shook her head: "What are you going to do next?"

"I will release the news that our family has fled to Germany to seek refuge in seclusion. I have some acquaintances in Germany who can help me spread these rumors." He squeezed her hand tightly, "But in fact, we will continue to stay. in England."

"You should contact the Ministry of Magic," Edwinra said.

"I can't." He shook his head. "There are too many Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic who use money to whitewash peace and pretend to be innocent, such as Malfoy...I can't expose myself, or you will be very dangerous."
