He nodded slowly, " I understand this is a bit too much to take in, just take your time. "

"We barely know each other. " She blurted out after a minute.

"I know, but we will if you agree to sign the baby contract. I know we're not doing this because we love each other but I'll promise you one thing. " He said in the same quiet tone.

She raised her eyebrows, " And what would that be? "

" Although we don't love each other, I promise to take care of you and our baby, give you all the protection you need, and make sure you never lack anything. " He said softly and Carla knew right then that he meant every word.

" I'll treat you well even though ours won't be a marriage of love. " He added, shoving his hands into his pockets.

" So I'm just a baby factory, " She lamented and smiled bitterly. She was doing this for the money, she knew. Heck, she would do almost anything if it would pay her family's debts and make her mother happy. She was selling her happiness, she knew but she didn't care.
