Chapter 1 Mr. Hawn, Please Marry Me!
At the grand lobby of MUSE Hotel, Genoca City.
“After marrying my son, you must give birth to three chubby children for our Malone family.”
The sophisticated-looking older woman incessantly chattered away, extending three chubby fingers, her lips painted a vibrant red.
“Also, no more of these flashy clothes and excessive makeup. Do you know that excessive use of cosmetics might affect fertility?” she continued.
“By the way, we won’t need housekeepers once you marry my son. You need to take care of my son, keep the house clean, and cook and do laundry for us. You do know that silk underwear requires handwashing, right?”
As the old lady made a series of demands, she looked at her “beloved son” Joe Malone, who was over 40, with a smile.
Joe leaned back lazily, brushing through videos of seductive beauties, occasionally chiming in, “My mom’s right,” his jiggling fat resembling a pig.
Monica Donat gazed at the peculiar mother and son sitting across from her, feeling like her heart had plunged into an abyss, and her hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly.
Today was her eighteenth birthday, supposed to be the most beautiful day of her life.
However, the Donat family desperately needed money, with its company on the brink of collapse. Monica’s father had borrowed from loan sharks, who were now at their doorstep, threatening his life.
Being cornered, her father was still unwilling to sacrifice Monica’s sister.
Now he decided to marry her off to the millionaire ugly, also a mama’s boy, Joe. Rumour had it that the Malone family was particularly harsh and mean, having driven away several wives and even allegedly causing a miscarriage by kicking a pregnant woman who was carrying a girl…
Madam Malone was initially displeased with Monica’s illegitimate status. Still, looking at the terrified- looking girl in front of her – slender, fair-skinned, and pure as a budding gardenia – she seemed to be quite to her son’s taste.
“Oh, by the way, my son has been afraid of the dark since childhood. I’ve been the one sleeping with him since his childhood. Even after you two are married, I’ll have to sleep in the middle, and I can teach you how to conceive sons… We’ll also need to take you to the hospital to have a virginity test and STD tests. Who knows if your father has sold you to someone else and you’ve already lost your virginity…”
Monica blushed with humiliation. She could no longer bear it and stood up.
“I can marry anyone except him!”
Her loud exclamation drew the attention of everyone in the hotel lobby. Madam Malone’s face immediately darkened, her humiliation evident, and she grew furious.
“Hah, your family is now broke, and your dad’s life hangs by a thread. I am kind enough to let you marry into our family. Or who do you think you can marry?”
Madam Malone reminded her of the harsh reality, wearing a contemptuous smile and showing no concern that Monica might refuse.
Monica’s nails dug deeply into her palms as she scanned her surroundings. In the distance, she noticed a man striding towards them in a tailored suit, exuding an intimidating aura simply through hisBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
tall stature.
However, this man had a horrifying face!
Half his face seemed unsightly and grotesque as if it was burned.
Like those of a cheetah, his eyes carried a sense of menace as he stared directly at her.
Monica’s gaze met the man’s, and she could see him staring back at her intently, like a predator fixating on its prey.
She overheard whispers between the Malone family’s bodyguards and Madam Malone herself. “Madam, according to insider information, that man is the one we wanted to see, Mr. Hawn, Leo Hawn.”
Mr. Hawn?
Monica caught the critical point. In Genoca City, rumors circulated about Leo Hawn, the billionaire from the Hawn family, with his exceedingly unattractive appearance and eccentric temperament. His notorious reputation preceded him, and his physical aspect seemed to be a flaw, as he had no women.
Now, she was face-to-face with the rumored Leo and found him genuinely terrifying.
But at this moment, she had no other choice. Observing the awe and scare shown by the Malone family towards Leo, she could only take a gamble!
Summoning her courage, Monica stood up and approached Leo, suppressing her fear as she met his icy gaze, which caused him to pause briefly.
Little did Leo expect Monica to grasp his tie firmly, forcing him to lean down and passionately kiss him on his lips!
Leo was instantly enveloped in the fragrance emanating from the girl, and he heard her voice, clear and tinged with determination.
“Mr. Hawn, please marry me!”
Before Leo could react, Joe, who had been watching his mother trembling with anger, stood up and slammed the table.
“Damn it! Do you know who you are messing with? You slutty bitch!”
Then he quickly changed his tone, showing a flattering expression. “Mr. Hawn, I’ve finally got to see you. I’m taking her away! I’ll teach her a good lesson! I’m sorry she offended you.”
Leo’s face darkened, and he was about to speak when his assistant approached, his face covered in a cold sweat, looking nervous. “Mr. Hawn, Old Mr. Hawn is furious. He said that if you drive away Miss Rachel, your fiancée he chose for you today, and don’t find a new engagement partner before nightfall, he’ll have the doctors remove his life support. After all, you don’t listen to him, and there’s no one to carry on the family line….”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Leo’s expression grew solemn. He could disregard anyone but couldn’t ignore his grandfather’s life.
He had initially thought that if he upset Rachel, his grandfather would abandon the idea. However, he had underestimated the Andrew’s determination to have a grandson.
Joe, by Leo’s side, watched as Leo began instructing his assistant, preparing to drag Monica away.
But suddenly, Leo tightly gripped Monica’s hand, his gaze icy. “Who are you taking away?”
Monica was taken aback, inscrutability catching a flicker of ambiguity in Leo’s eyes.
“She just proposed to me. She’s now my fiancée.”
