Marrying
Chapter 802
Ian Grant w
was a fast worker. In less than four hours, he had sorted out all the information and handed it to Katherine Santos.
Katherine was dumbstruck. She did not think that Valerie was serious. When she saw the stack of detailed information, she gave a big sigh
fan simply shrugged. âTake your pick and Iâll arrange the time. These are all the people Iâve carefully chosen.â
Katherine did not know whether to laugh or cry at this point. She knew that Valerie had good intentions so she did not want to disappoint her. Thus, she began browsing. âThese three then!â
Jan was taken aback when he saw how carelevy Katherine made her selection. âAre you sure you want these three?â
âOf course. You shortlisted them, didnât you? I trust your judgment. Letâs start with these three?â
Ian gave her a skeptical look. âAlright.â
In the end, he decided to keep his mouth shut. He would let Katherine decide on her own.
Katherine simply smiled silently. Thereafter, she selected a coffeehouse near the Noria Groupâs office. It was wellâknown for its elegant environment.
The first candidate was a company senior executive and was now the project manager. He was 35 years old and wore gold rimmed glasses. He was dressed in a suit that gave him a refined air, and he also looked like an honest chap.
Katherine observed him. She couldnât find any flaw with his appearance, but then again, she wasnât bothered by looks. She was not one to judge people on their appearance
The moment he saw Katherine, Blind Date No. I was very excited. He knew that Katherine was Mrs. Grantâs good friend. If he could marry Katherine, he would not have to worry about his prospects in the company.
âMiss Santos, youâre even more beautiful than I imagined!â The first thing that came out of this guyâs mouth was a compliment.
Katherine smiled at him. âMr. Chandler, you are also very handsome and you donât look your age at all.â
âIâm already past marriageable age. I have delayed marriage for so many years because of work.
âTodayâs date was so unexpected. Now that I know you are my date, 1 think itâs very good.â
Katherine smiled. âSo youâre willing to accept me?â
âOf course Iâm willing!â came the swift reply.
âThen you donât mind being a stepfather, do you?â
Blind Date No. 1 froze when he heard that. âWhat? Did you say, stepfather?â
I did
Katherine stroked her belly. âIâm already pregnant. If you marry me, you have to treat my child as your own. Iâm actually an easygoing person. You also know my relationship with Mrs. Valerie Grant
âOf course, after we get married, I wonât be able to provide many business connections to you. After all, Iâm just running my own business now. You have to give me an allowance of 5,000 dollars per month and you have to pay for my childâs education in the future.
âBecause you married me, the Santos family may be able to help you a little, but it wonât be much. Donât expect a
a windfall
âAs for your promotion in the Noria Group, I may not be able to help but I promise you that if you can meet my e
yearliern
Frequirements, after marriage has lasted beyond five years, I may be able to speak up for you. What do you think?â
Katherine caressed her belly as she spoke. Her face was radiating motherly love while Blind Date No. 1 was wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
âMiss Santos, does the childâs father know that youâre pregnand*
Katherine answered frankly, âHe doesnât know. I just wanted a child. As for who the father is, surely thatâs not important, is it?â
âMr. Chandler, I think youâre a smart person. I only want the child and not the father.
âIn the future, I may also have children with you, but only if you treat me well. Also, the prenuptial agreement has to state clearly that our individual assets are not shared assets!
âIf you can accept all these conditions, we can go for registration now!â

Chapter 802
Katherine took charge every step of the way and frightened Blind Date No. I thoroughly. This woman. Firstly, she wants me to be her unborn childâs father. Secondly, she wants me to raise her child. 1 donât get any benefits and may be replaced any timeâ¦
Not surprisingly, this date found these conditions unacceptable. âMiss Santos, I suddenly remembered that I have some work to clear. I wonât take up your time anymore. Iâll uke my leave first
With that he hurriedly ran away.
Katherine burst into laughter when she saw his reaction. There was still a tenâminute wait before the next candidate. She took a sip of juice and waited patiently.
Soon, the second candidate arrived with a bouquet of flowers. When he saw Katherine, he was taken aback. âArenât you Miss Katherine Santosâ
Katherine smiled at him. âOh, itâs you, Mr. Fraser! Are you going on blind dates again!â
âMy Mom made me. If I had known it was you, I would have just contacted you directly instead of going through so much trouble.â
Blind Date No. 2 sat down unceremoniously. âMy mother told me we are discussing terms of marriage. Go ahead and state your conditionsâ
Katherine laid down her requirements. âFirstly, you have to agree to be my unborn childâs father and pave the way for the child to succeed in the
future
âSecondly, my child has to have a share of the Fraser familyâs assets.
âChild?â Blind Date No. 2 was stumped. Katherine elaborated. Iâm pregnant. Congratulations. You will be my childâs father in the future.
Tm sure you know that I have fallen out with the Santos family and severed all ties with them. I donât have much resources to help you. There will br no shared resources after you marry me, but I can still use your familyâs resources. What do you
think
After listening to her. Blind Date No. 7âs face clouded over. âKatherine, you must be crazy. Who would be willing to be a big sucker?
âOf course. Iâm not saying youâre not good, but I donât think I can accept another manâs child and pave the way for him.
âIf you still have the backing of your family, perhaps I can consider it. It doesnât matter if either party leads his own life. Itâs just a marriage. But with such terms, I donât stand to benefit at all. I canât accept this. Sorry, Iâll take my leaveâ
Blind Date No. 2 smiled, left the bouquet, and left
Katherine sighed. To be honest, she wasnât bothered by so many things. Both sides were just using each other. She couldnât do anything if the other party was not agreeable.
Moreover, her belly was getting bigger day by day. It was not good to keep it a secret. She might as well tell them first. As Valerie said before, if anyone was willing to accept her and if he really had feelings for her, he would definitely accept everything about her.
It was obvious that the second candidate did
pass mutter either.

Katherine sighed again and ordered a dessert from the waiter. She got hungry very quickly after getting pregnant. She might as well fill her tummy first.
There was still half an hour before Blind Date No. 3 showed up. There was enough time.
Katherine sat there and waited patiently.
After a while, she saw a figure outside the window. She was a little surprised that Blind Date No. 3 came so early
She had just taken one bite of her dessert when the other party arrived.
Blind Date No. 3 was the scion of one of Kranson Cityâs families known for producing intellectuals. He was also a doctor and his familyâs financial standing was good.
The moment he showed up, Katherine took the initiative to greet him. Dr. Woolerton, youâre quite early!â
Dr. Woolerton smiled. âOf course. I have to come carly since Iâm meeting a lady. I didnât expect you to arrive even earlier!â
