Chapter 84

His eyes passionately bore into hers, and Calla held her breath as she stared back. She whispered, “You… what are you trying to do?”

She looked like a deer in headlights. Mercer was intrigued. He smiled slightly and asked, “What do you think I’m going to do?”

Calla replied nervously, “About that… The doctor said I’m pregnant and that we can’t… Calla bit her lip. She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.

Mercer’s gaze was dark as he pressed on, “What can’t we do?”

“We can’t have sex,” Calla spat.

As the words left her mouth, her entire face flushed. Even the tips of her ears turned red.

She was extremely nervous because he was a largely built man. If Mercer resorted to violence, she wouldn’t be able to stand her ground, even for a moment

Mercer seemed to be satisfied when Calla said those words. He got up and walked toward the windows, pulling the curtains open.

He turned back and glanced at Calla, who’d sat up. He exclaimed, “Who said I wanted to have sex with you? I’m not a monster.”

He had a smug expression on his face. Mercer was probably making fun of her misinterpretation of his intentions.

Calla knew that she’d fallen into his trap and immediately threw a pillow at him while shouting. “Alright, so you’re just using me as entertainment!”

“Your thoughts are impure. They keep venturing onto sexual matters,” Mercer pointed out, amused.

At his words, Calla immediately recalled what had happened in his office. He had thrown the underwear that she’d accidentally left in his bathtub onto his table. Then, he accused her of seducing him.

She’d used the same statement against him back then Who would’ve thought he’d scold her with the same reasoning now?

Calla immediately rushed at him, jabbing at his chest while questioning furiously, “Are you taking revenge on me?”

Mercer reached out and flicked a finger against Calla’s forehead. His eyes seemed to sparkle with affection as he responded, “I’m only telling the truth.”

Calla could see the gleam in his eyes clear as day. Her anger disappeared, and her heart began pounding She immediately went to the foot of the bed and pulled her purchases out of their respective bags.

“I went to the mall to buy clothes and shoes. I don’t know what kind of girls your mom likes. I intended to leave a good impression on your parents so they won’t give you a hard time,” Calla explained. She held the clothes over herself to see how they looked on her.

Mercer seemed to be moved by her words. As he walked over, he asked, “Is that so? In that case, let me help you pick an outfit for tomorrow.”

After browsing through her clothes for a while, Mercer picked a pair of slacks for Calla and paired them with a lace shirt as well as a pair of black heels. For her bag, he selected a regular black purse.

“This outfit isn’t bad. It makes you look bookish and elegant,” Mercer said as he looked at the clothes he’d picked out.

“I’ll take your advice,” Calla agreed. She then put the clothes and shoes away.

However, a sense of trepidation still blanketed Calla. Before they slept, she asked Mercer, “Is it true that your mom is extremely strict?”

Mercer peeled his blurry eyes open and pulled Calla into his arms while saying. “You’ll know when you meet her tomorrow.”

Calla retorted, “Can you not say that? Quick, tell me what your mom is usually like. What hobbies does she have? What does she like to eat?”

-My

mom…” Mercer mumbled before falling asleep.
