Contract Marriage with Devil Billionaire - Chapter 234 Get Married

“I understand what you are saying,” Kate blushed.

“Since you understand, I won’t say too much to you,” Cassie said seriously. It was often she spoke like that, yet when she did, she could scare someone. She continued, “I know that Joseph listens to you in regards to everything. However, am I correct in assuming that the ultimate goal of your relationship is to marry Joseph? You two are so deeply in love; it would only be appropriate for you to get married.”

“Yes,” Kate nodded, not because of Cassie’s urging but because she felt that the relationship is reaching that point.

“Good girl! I have never treated you as an outsider, so I say whatever I am thinking. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me,” Cassie’s tone and expression were much softer than before.

Kate politely returned, “I know, and you didn’t say anything inappropriate.”

“Your body may not be the healthiest at this time, so I found a nutritionist for you. She will help to be responsible for three meals a day,” Cassie said, thinking of how Kate’s miscarriage caused so much damage to her body. Fearing that she might have difficulty becoming pregnant, Cassie wanted to help as much as she could.

“Mom, I don’t need that. I will pay more attention to my diet and take good care of myself,” Kate felt that she only needed to have one servant, Rena, and there was no need to hire another one.

“I’m still worried about you. Keeping a good diet is a long-term task. Joseph is a workaholic. When he gets busy, he forgets to sleep and eat, let alone remind you. If you just listen to me and follow the nutritionist’s plan, then when your body recovers, I will listen to you,” Cassie pressured.

“Okay,” Kate sighed.

“Then I have her come to see you tomorrow,” Cassie smiled, “However, you do need to speak to Joseph and get his consent.”

“I will.”

To not put Cassie in the middle of things, Kate decided to tell Joseph that it was her idea to hire the nutritionist, and then he would not question her or his mother.

“Kate, I treat you as my own daughter. I truly hope that you will give birth to Joseph’s baby for our family. After all…” Cassie stopped and sighed.

Kate could understand her eagerness to have a grandson, but she didn’t know why Cassie always hesitated whenever she tried to speak about it.

“Mom, how are things going with you?” Kate was worried about Cassie’s living arrangements.

“Since Joseph agreed to take over Smith Group again, your grandfather’s attitude toward me has improved significantly. Coupled with the fact that Samuel and the others have no caused any issues, my life is relatively peaceful.

Realizing that it probably was not pure coincidence that both Vincent and Cassie were urging Kate to have a baby, she wondered why.

After walking Cassie to the door, Kate laid back on the sofa and thought of their conversation. The words pregnant and baby scared her. She did not object to becoming pregnant, but being pressured to have a child, she felt a little reluctant even to want to try. It felt as if it was a chore rather than an exciting thing in her life.

Kate took out her phone and called Lisa. She didn’t even say hello; she immediately commented, “Hey, it’s been a long time since you called me.”

In a happy tone, Kate quickly explained, “You know that I have been extremely busy with a ton of work. Now, I have some time to talk to you.”

“Alright, I’m just kidding,” Lisa laughed, then cautiously asked, “Have you had any trouble with Daisy?”

“Let’s not talk about her right now; I have something significant to ask you,” Kate sighed. Whenever she needed help with a decision, she would ask Joseph and then Lisa. However, she couldn’t talk to Joseph about the topic because he would follow her advice.

“Go ahead.”

Kate told her what Cassie had just said and said annoyingly, “I am not against having a child; I just don’t want it to be a job.”

“Since you are not disgusted by the fact, then don’t overthink it. If you and Joseph want to enjoy your time together, then there are ways of delaying pregnancy,” Lisa laughed.

“I wasn’t thinking about it until Mom brought it up; now my heart is confused.”

“Kate, I know that she urged you have a baby in the past, even when Joseph didn’t love you. So, having a baby made you feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Now, it is different, though, because you and Joseph are in love. You can make your own decisions rather than follow other people’s orders,” Lisa knew it was pointless to tell Kate that because she always thought of everyone else.

“If it was only Mr. Smith who urged me to have a baby, I may not be overthinking it. It was when Mom asked, I…”

“You and Joseph are living together now. I think you can expect pregnancy may happen at some point,” Lisa told Kate her own personal opinion rather than deciding for her.

“But I don’t know what Joseph thinks about it.”

“Why are you worried about what Joseph thinks? He wants to marry you. You must know that!” Lisa exclaimed, “Don’t think about it so much. Just let it be, and if you become pregnant well, then you do!”

“Before I become pregnant, though, shouldn’t we get married?” Kate wondered out loud. She realized how silly it sounded as soon as the words came out of her mouth.

Lisa giggled on the other end of the phone, “So, is that actually what you wanted to ask me?”

“As you know, Joseph asked me to marry him before, but I turned him down. I said I didn’t want to rush things, then we never talked about marriage again, but now…”

“But now you not only want to marry him but also want to have children with him!” Lisa blurted out.

Kate did not deny what Lisa said; she felt a little self-conscious, though. She whispered like a little child telling a secret, “Should I tell him that I want to marry him?”

“Haha!” Lisa laughed loudly, “This is so funny!”

“Before, I was not sure if I could marry him. I worried about making the same mistakes that we had before. I think I gave us enough time to get to know each other…”
