Martha's lips were pressed. She was pondering how to negotiation with Rhys.
Rhys saw that she was silent, but he didn't care and asked smiling, "Since we're here, how about we go inside to visit the children?"
"No, let's talk here."
It was no need to make everything so clear.
He knew why she asked him to meet here.
An emotion flashed in Rhys' eyes. He asked in an intentionally light-minded tone,
"Are you going to get divorced? Oh, if so, I'd like to go with you."
"Rhys, we have another choice."
Martha stared at him impassively while her hands were sweating a little due to nervousness.
She was not sure if Rhys would agree with that, but she made a desperate attempt.
There was no doubt that she would save Jimmy no matter what price she needed to pay, but-
It didn't mean that she had to marry Rhys.
Rhys smiled evilly and indecorously.
"Miss Doyle, do you mean I'm not worthy of you?"
"No."
Martha replied in an indifferent tone. It was not about whether he deserved her.
After Rhys heard her answer, he squinted slightly at her and asked chuckling,
"So what do you mean?"
"I know you don't love me. Since you want to make a deal with me, you can make some other conditions."
There were many kinds of deals. She could give him anything except marriage.
Rhys clearly saw the worries in Martha's eyes. He smiled, got closer to her, and said in a low voice, "Like what?"
"Cooperation. Or company projects. Whatever you want." In fact, she knew it was not enough for Rhys.
After all, he didn't care about these at all.
What about his true identity? Could she threaten him if she used his true identity as a bargaining chip?
It was the last thing she would like to do.
After all, she was turning to him for help.
She looked up at the man standing next to her with her firm gaze.
"It's up to you whether to save Jimmy."
He didn't coerce her.
Martha felt like being in a icy cave. It seemed that they would not meet in the middle.
Then she tried to make a deal with him in his way. She turned around and looked at the orphanage in front of her, saying in a soft voice with her red lips opened.
"Rhys, do you know why I asked you to meet here?"
Rhys became a bit sterner as he heard he question, but he soon recovered his smile.
"One of the most difficult things is to see through what a woman is thinking about. It's
like seeking for a needle in the ocean."
"I thought you could make it every time."
Martha said in a especially calm and cold tone, looking at him.
Each time, he took control of the games between them. Why did he become a fool this time?
The reason why Martha chose this place for their meeting was for one thing-
She wanted to know whether the relationship between Rhys and Stefan was as the same as she expected.
