NovelEnglishChapter 787: As Buobserved the genuine curiosity on Silver Fox's face, he almost found it amusing how easily she could be fooled, prompting an urge to chuckle. Yet, the thought of fooling her quickly soured the moment, striking him with a pang of guilt. He awkwardly cleared his throat, maintaining his facade. "We should start with developing a relationship. Once we fall in love, having children will follow naturally." Silver Fox pondered his words before responding with a skeptical laugh, "And how long will that take? What if we never fall in love? Does that mean no children? My grandmother is over seventy. She doesn't have that much time." Feeling guilty, Burubbed his nose and replied, "We could try to have children while building our relationship. As long as we strive toward loving each other, it should work out." Silver Fox blinked, skepticism plain on her face. "But I don't see myself ever loving you. Our children would grow up in a family without mutual love between the parents." "Why do you say that? What's wrong with me?" Buasked, raising an eyebrow.

You're the complete opposite-tough and domineering. It wouldn't feel natural trying to love you."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In a moment of frustration, he reached out and flicked her forehead, not holding back his strength. "Foolish woman!" The flick was harder than he intended, clearly causing her discomfort.
"Ouch!" Silver Fox sharply inhaled as she instinctively drew back. She rubbed her sore forehead, glaring at Burnet. "See? This is exactly why I could never love you. You're harsh and mean, quick to anger. We've only just agreed to a childbearing contract, and here you are, resorting to violence. If I ever fell for you, I'd just be another one of your possessions. Honestly, I despise you. If it weren't for your looks and intellect, which make you a suitable candidate to father children, I wouldn't have considered this arrangement. And it's not just your tough demeanor that repels me—it's your joyless expression. The first tI saw you, I loathed it. You don't look any better when you smile, and your voice is as harsh as stone. No normal girl could fancy you, except perhaps someone as oblivious as Clarissa. Even Araceli would choose death over a life with you, and that's saying something." Buwas left speechless by her tirade, and for a moment, he genuinely reflected on himself. Could he really be so unappealing to women? "Ahem!" He awkwardly cleared his throat, mustering an apology. "I'm sorry, that was entirely my fault just now." Despite his apology, Silver Fox remained irate, shooting him a fierce glare, snorting coldly, and turning her head away in a clear refusal to engage further. Yet, her anger was not quelled. Barely two seconds later, she spun back and kicked him in the calf. Her frustration made her kick harder than intended, causing Bunoticeable pain.
"Hiss!" Bumimicked her sharp intake of breath, but to lighten the mood, he playfully jumped in place twice. His exaggerated antics paid off-Silver Fox couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha." Relieved to see her laugh, Budropped the act, gazing at her with fondness. "Feeling better?" he asked gently.
Silver Fox, realizing he had been trying to cheer her up, softened. Though she recognized his effort, she playfully glared at him and remained silent, choosing not to voice her amusement.

Bucontinued, "I'm not as dull as you think. I can make a girl happy too. I've always been serious m because never met someone who inspiredto relax. Since you appreciate affection, I promise to pamper you-and only you-from now on."
Silver Fox pouted, feigning indifference, but internally she was delighted. She had always had a soft spot for men who would sweet-taik ve her, which was why Ernst had initially caught her attention. Yet, Burnet's charm was distinctly different from Ernst's. While Ernst's felt hollow, Burnet's was substantial and sincere, resonating with a deep, genuine strength.
She shot Buanother glare, then posed a playful question. "If we fall in love, how are we supposed to get En divorced after having children?"
