Chapter 5 I Won’t Love You

Maria subconsciously wanted to escape, but Hawk grabbed her wrist. He said, “If you don’t want me to make a scene, come with me!” “You jerk, let go of me!” Maria said with annoyance. She was the one who lost her virginity. Why should she be threatened by him? Hawk smiled mysteriously, tightened his grip on Maria’s wrist, and pulled her towards him. “Even if I do something to you here, you won’t mind, will you?” Maria’s heart skipped a beat. Hawk could do that to her in her car. She gritted her teeth. “You’ll stop bothering me once I make it clear, right?” “If your answer satisfies me!” So, Maria followed Hawk. She felt quite depressed! She didn’t want to pursue the incident anymore. Why did Hawk dwell on it? What was wrong with him? The car stopped at the entrance of a restaurant. Maria angrily cut through the steak with her knife. After that, she ate all the pieces, applying extra force with each bite, with an expression as if she wanted to bite those people who took advantage of others to death. If her teeth had that power, she would bite those who forcibly take away her things to death, including Tim, Ruby, and Hawk in front of her. Hawk waited for Maria to finish eating her steak before speaking, “Have you figured out what else you need besides money?” Maria looked up and shook her head. “No, I don’t need anything else besides money. In fact, many things in this world can be solved with money. I will think about how to spend 850 thousand dollars well.” Hawk nodded and continued, “You said yesterday that you need me to take responsibility. I can do that. I can marry you!” “Ahem!” Maria almost choked and hurriedly explained, “Well, I was just joking!” “I’m serious! I’m at the age to get married. There is one thing. I think I need to make it clear first. Perhaps, I will never fall in love with you in my entire life. But I promise, as long as you’re not unreasonable and don’t interfere too much in my life, I will never divorce you!” Hawk said earnestly. Maria widened her eyes and asked in confusion, “What do you mean by never being able to love me?” Hawk explained, “Human’s heart is small. Once it has someone inside, it can’t take in another person. Except for giving you love, I will do my best to be a good husband!” “Since there is someone you love, why not marry her?” Maria couldn’t help but ask. Hawk was rich. Rich people’s love stories were usually blessed. “She isn’t in this world anymore,” Hawk answered. Maria felt the air in the hall filled with sadness. She couldn’t help but look at Hawk, whose expression was full of sorrow. Then he restrained all his emotions and became calm. It was as if the sadness just now was all in Maria’s imagination. “I’m sorry!” Maria apologized. “I didn’t know she already…” “It’s okay!” Hawk forced a smile and continued, “So, if you need me to take responsibility, I have no problem with it! After marriage, we can treat each other like friends or like family.” “No need! Ahem, what I mean is I have already forgotten about that day!” Maria wished she could bury her face in a plate. “Virginity is important for women. How could you forget?” Hawk asked again. “Ahem…” Maria coughed and said dryly, “Well, it’s not that important!” “Okay,” Hawk responded. “Well, I’m done eating. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave. I have to go to the project site this afternoon. The design has been approved, and the landscaping project should start.” Maria just wanted to leave quickly, so she used work as an excuse. It seemed like no matter what Hawk said, he could stay calm, while Maria felt like she was overwhelmed by shock. “No rush. I think we need to discuss this matter more thoroughly. It’s best to have a result today! If you don’t have enough time, I can help you ask for leave!” Hawk’s expression remained calm. Maria was so frustrated! How unlucky was she to have encountered such a jinx? She had told Hawk that there was no need for him to take responsibility and that virginity wasn’t important. But Hawk wanted to discuss it further and have a result. How distressing! So, for the next couple of hours, Maria mostly listened. She would only occasionally say a few words when Hawk asked about her. She deeply understood the saying “the more one speaks, the more likely he will make a mistake”! If Maria hadn’t casually mentioned that Hawk should take responsibility in the hospital, he wouldn’t be so fixated on this matter. However, after one or two hours, Maria’s mindset underwent some changes. Listening to Hawk talk about how they would live together after marriage, such as not interfering in each other’s lives and mutually respecting each other, it seemed like Hawk was a good candidate for her husband. So, Maria agreed to seriously consider marrying Hawk.
