I Need A Husband

"You said you want to marry me? Why? When?" he asked her impatiently.

"You heard me right," Marie nodded. "I honestly need a husband, and I feel that you're the right person."

Nicolae was used to being pursued and admired by women, but no one was as aggressive as Marie who asked him to marry her after two encounters. He felt really uncomfortable.

"Marie, we've only met twice and I don't know you very well, so I don't know if you're serious or joking, but I don't consider things like marriage as a joke. Therefore, I hope you won't do it again." Nicolae spoke in a calm voice, but there was firmness in his words.

Marie looked at Nicolae with wistful eyes. "I agree with you. Unfortunately, I don't have much choice. Will you come and pretend to be my husband for just two days? I'm begging you. I'll do whatever you ask me to. I'll even pay you. Just mention your price."

Nicolae frowned. "I don't need money."
