Chapter 1443
Chapter 1443
Vanessa did not get much sleep, but she was not sleepy at all. She was tossing and turning on the bed but still could not fall asleep. Hence, she got up and went to the gym room for a run.
Vanessa loved working out, so she would always find time throughout the week to work out. Running was her usual go to exercise routine. Like she usually did, she started running on the treadmill but halfway through it, she felt that something was wrong with her body. In the next second, her vision became blurry as she dropped to the ground.
Before falling down, a face flashed across Vanessa's mind. He was the only one who could save her. However, he was so angry at her the night before, so she guessed that he would not appear in this house for the next few days.
By the time he showed up, she was probably a rotten dead body already.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Vanessa blinked her eyes and woke up from unconsciousness.
She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Julien's indifferent but extremely handsome face. Alas, this man was really her kryptonite. She was already dead, but he was still the first thing she saw the moment she opened her eyes.
Vanessa was staring at him, and Julien was looking at her too. No matter where they were, this man would still be this cold. He was even colder than the icebergs in the Arctic. He did not look cute at all.
Seeing that Vanessa was awake and staring at him, Julien turned his head away and did not look at her anymore.
Vanessa pouted her lips and said, "Alas, I'm already dead. Can't you be a little gentler to me?"
The corner of Julien's mouth twitched, but he was still ignoring her.
Vanessa reached out her hand and poked him. "Are you real or is it just my imagination?"
However, his hand felt real. It didn't feel like she was hallucinating.
If that was the case, did it mean that someone had saved her?
Vanessa looked around and realized that she was in a hospital ward. She quickly reached out her hand and pinched her thigh. She could feel the pain, which proved that she was still alive. Therefore, Julien was the one who saved her, "Thanks!"
Vanessa felt that she should thank him. Otherwise, he probably would not save her the next time. This man had always been a petty person, so she must not upset him.
Now that Vanessa had thanked him, not only did Julien not respond to her, he stood up and left.
Vanessa's heart was filled with disappointment. She was still lying on the hospital bed. Couldn't he stay for a little longer?
Even if he ignored her and put on a cold face, as long as he was here, she would still be better.
Alas...
Vanessa sighed quietly and quickly concealed her dejection. Since Julien had left, Vanessa thought that she could sleep for a little while longer.
Julien had just left when Joel Skylar came into the ward. He said, "Vanessa, are you feeling much better now?"
Vanessa nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I'm feeling much better now. Thanks, Joel."
Joel handed an envelope to Vanessa and said, "This is what Mr. Kyle asked me to give you. You should take a look at it first. If there's anything you would like to add on, feel free to let me know."
Vanessa was puzzled. "What is this?"
Joel said, "You should take a look at it first."
Vanessa opened the envelope and took out the document. The moment she saw the content of the document, she was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. No, no... This should not be true. It's probably just an illusion.
However, just as Vanessa was comforting himself, she could hear Joel saying, "Vanessa, Mr. Kyle wants to marry you. All the properties that are listed on the prenup would belong to you once both of you are married. You should read through it first, and if there's anything else that you would like to add, you can just let me know. I'm sure that Mr. Kyle will not refuse any of your requests."
"Prenuptial Agreement?" Vanessa read out the title of the document. Seeing that Joel was nodding in agreement, Vanessa immediately threw the document away like it was a hot potato. "Joel, please don't scare me like this, okay? I don't handle surprises well."
Joel said, "Since when was I scaring you?
What's more, if Mr. Kyle didn't order me to do this, do you think that I would actually dare to joke around with you behind his back? Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't have dared to joke about such an important matter."
Vanessa shook her head. "You can just take this away. Just pretend that you've never shown this to me, okay?"
Joel continued, "You know Mr. Kyle's character too, don't you? Do you think that I'll be able to change his mind? Vanessa, all of us saw how Mr. Kyle treated you over the past year. He was the
kind of person who did not care about anyone's affairs other than his work. You're an exception. He treats you differently."
Vanessa laughed and said, "Joel, do you know what kind of a person I was? Do you know what I've done in the past?"
Joel shook his head. Julien had never ordered his men to look into Vanessa's background, so none of them knew anything about Vanessa's past.
Vanessa added, "Joel, could you please relay this message to Mr. Kyle for me? Tell him that I appreciate his intentions but I won't sign this prenup. I don't want to be his wife."
Joel persuaded, "Vanessa, you should really reconsider it."
"I've already thought things through," Vanessa said. "No matter how much time you give me, I won't reconsider it anymore."
Joel did not understand. He asked, "Why though? Mr. Kyle is so rich and handsome. He's the dream man of countless women. Now that such a man is saying that he wants to marry you, why don't you want to accept it?"
"Maybe that's the reason why. There should be someone better who he can marry. This woman shouldn't be me." Vanessa lay down on the bed. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed now."
Joel did not know how he could persuade Vanessa anymore. "Vanessa..."
Vanessa buried her head under the blanket and ignored Joel.
Joel knew that Julien had already made up his mind. He would not allow any changes to his plans and he would never give Vanessa the chance to refuse. He was here only to ask Vanessa to state
her requests. She could ask for anything that she wanted, but Vanessa, this insensible woman, actually refused such a great offer. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Joel tried to persuade Vanessa again, "Vanessa, what are you worried about? Are you worried that our Mr. Kyle will fall in love with someone else in the future? If you are worried about this, you can rest assured. The men of the Kyle family are all very devoted to their wives. The moment Mr. Kyle is married to you, he will definitely be loyal to you for the rest of his life."
Vanessa covered her ears, refusing to listen to Joel. She was afraid that she would be swayed by his words and she was afraid that she would recklessly sign the agreement. After all, this temptation was deadly to her and she really could not resist at all.
Joel sat down and continued to persuade Vanessa. After a long time, Vanessa was still not moved, so he took the agreement with him and went out to report the situation to his boss. When he was just about to explain the situation, Julien spoke first, "You can't even handle such a trivial matter. It seems that there's no need for you to stay by my side anymore."
Joel said, "Mr. Kyle..."
Was this a trivial matter?
How could this be considered a trivial matter?
This was his boss' marriage, an important life event.
Joel really could not understand what Julien was thinking at all. If Julien wanted to marry Vanessa, he should have proposed to her in person. He should go to her and hold her in his arms and get things clear. Women are soft-hearted creatures. If Julien were to do the marriage proposal in person, Joel did not believe that Vanessa would still reject him.
Hence, according to Joel's analysis, Vanessa probably did not want to sign the prenup simply because Julien did not do the proposal himself. After all, a marriage proposal was a major life event too. How could Julien ask an assistant to do it on his behalf?
