What savagery

24

Jeremy, who was focused on driving, glanced at me and said in a joking tone, "Why don't we make the best of the mistake?"

My hand, which was holding the phone, trembled. I hid my emotions and said in an indifferent tone, "No. I said that I wouldn't be in a relationship for three years. Otherwise, I'll have to pay for it."

The person next to me laughed in a low voice. "What a miser."

Three years ago, between the world and Jeremy, I would definitely choose him without hesitation.

But now, I chose money.

After a while, Jeremy suddenly said meaningfully, "He won't make that money."

I didn't understand what he meant. "Of course, because I'm not in a relationship."

"We can get married directly."

I was shocked and didn't say a word.

In the enclosed space in the car, even the sound of our breathing seemed louder. I tried to calm my hammering heart and didn't dare to make a sound.
