Chapter 123 Ethan is Pressured into Marrying Harper

"What do you think 'personal assistant' means?" Ethan asked as he set down the

contract he was holding.

Jasmine looked down and stayed silent, not wanting to anger him.

"Mr. Patrick Sr. won't give up custody of Justin that easily. He's waiting for you to slip up," Ethan casually reminded her.

Jasmine paused at the door, not saying a word.

Ethan thought he disliked kids before he met Justin.

After encountering Justin, Ethan realized that he didn't dislike kids, he just disliked Lisa's son, Casey.
