Chapter 148 I Want a Child
"Sleep with you?"
James was stunned on the spot when he heard Cynthia's words, his eyes filled with deep shock.
Just now, a thought occurred to James that Cynthia had brought him to this place because she was aware of his identity and had ulterior motives of kidnapping him.
But he never expected that Cynthia actually wanted to trick him into bed.
"This woman really has ulterior motives!"
James sighed inwardly, then looked Cynthia up and down.
At this moment, Cynthia was wearing a sexy camisole nightgown, her full chest giving a sense of bursting out, her slender waist exuding a tempting aura with every sway, and her long, smooth legs almost impossible to look away from.
A top-tier beauty like this is actively proposing to sleep together, and any normal man would probably not refuse.
However, James's expression betrayed his inner conflict as he remained uncertain about Cynthia's true intentions.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take off your clothes!" Cynthia said as she walked over, trying to take off James's clothes.
Seeing Cynthia's actions, James quickly reached out to stop her, then said helplessly, "Cynthia, I'm not that kind of casual man. If you want to do that, you should find someone else."
"Why? Am I not pretty enough?"
Cynthia, not expecting James to reject her, shouted at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Cynthia, you are very pretty and sexy, but I don't deserve you, and I don't even know why you want to do this!" James said with a collapsed expression.
"Why sleep with me?"
Cynthia was stunned for a moment after hearing James's words, then pointed to the stack of cash on the table and said, "James, there's $200,000 here. If you sleep with me, it's yours. If you can get me pregnant, I'll give you another $200,000. Now, do you understand why I want to sleep with you?"
"You want to sleep with me to get pregnant?"
James seemed to understand Cynthia's intention.
"Yes, I want a child!"
Cynthia nodded lightly.
Having a child with James was Cynthia's plan.
Because she was getting older, her parents had been pressuring her to get married and arranging blind dates for her.
Contrarily, Cynthia had possessed a strong obsession with cleanliness since her youth and was unable to imagine living with a man. Moreover, she had never encountered a man whom she genuinely liked.
Today, Cynthia's parents had given her an ultimatum: if she didn't get engaged to that jerk, they would take back her bar.
Stellar Lounge was Cynthia's dream for many years, and she couldn't bear to see it taken away, so she thought of this two-birds-one-stone solution.
As long as she could have a child with James, no one would want to marry her, and her parents couldn't keep pressuring her.
Cynthia had already planned to stay single for life, and having a child would fulfill her wish to be a mother.
James looked at Cynthia in front of him, saying helplessly, "You want to have a child with me?"
Recently, James had encountered too many strange things. First, he inexplicably inherited a trillion-dollar fortune; then, he suddenly had a fiancée.
Now, working part-time at a bar, the female boss wanted to sleep with him and have his child. What was going on?
"James, Janet told me about your situation before. Your parents passed away when you were in elementary school. If you sleep with me and get me pregnant, you can get $400,000. If you think $400,000 is too little, I can give you another $100,000," Cynthia said expressionlessly to James.
James asked Cynthia with a very puzzled expression, "No, Cynthia, why are you doing this?"
"That's none of your business. I'm giving you money, and you just need to sleep with me!" Cynthia pouted and shouted.
"No, I am not a casual man. You have to explain this to me clearly, and then I'll see if you really need my help. If you do, considering how beautiful and hot you are, I might agree. Otherwise, I definitely won't sleep with you!"
James was very curious as to why Cynthia made such a request. After all, Cynthia was so beautiful and hot.
If she wanted to find a man to sleep with, she could find someone better than James.
Observing James's resolute demeanor, Cynthia hesitated for a brief moment before finally deciding to share her thoughts with him.
After knowing the reason, James was shocked.
He didn't expect Cynthia to come up with such a bizarre plan to avoid being pressured into marriage.
James had heard Cynthia talking to her mother on the phone before, so he knew she wasn't lying.
"Cynthia, if you want to have a child, you can find someone better than me. We're not even familiar with each other," James hesitated and asked softly.
"Because you're poor," Cynthia replied calmly.
James was stunned on the spot, and his expression was very awkward.
To his surprise, James did not anticipate that Cynthia's reason would be so straightforward.
Actually, Cynthia chose James not just because he was poor.
First, Cynthia had a good impression of James, and he was quite handsome, with a rugged look and presumably good physical condition.
And most importantly, James seemed honest and very needy.
Cynthia thought someone like James could be easily handled with money.
But if it were another man, he might develop feelings for her after tonight and use the child to threaten her, which would be a disaster.
So, James, who had nothing, was the best candidate for Cynthia's plan.
James could get the money he needed from Cynthia, and after having a child with him, Cynthia could cut ties with him, eliminating any future troubles.
"Well, Cynthia, with today's technology, you don't have to have a child with a man," James said softly to Cynthia.
"You're talking about IVF, right?" Cynthia replied expressionlessly.
"Yes, that's it!"
James nodded lightly.
"I looked into it before, but it's not as simple as you think. IVF requires a lot of procedures, and there's a very important reason: I don't have the time. I'm supposed to get engaged in a few days, and I can't wait that long!"
Cynthia looked at James, paused, and then continued, "And I find it strange not knowing who the father is. I can't accept that!"
"I see!"
James nodded lightly at Cynthia.
"Alright, stop talking, take off your clothes, and get in bed!" Cynthia said as she took off her nightgown.
After taking off her nightgown, Cynthia's delicate body was fully exposed to James's view, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
