Maggie wasn't joking. She had thought it over.
Three months later, her life would come to an end. Even if she didn't divorce Lance, he could marry Hedy openly after she died.
Maggie would rather make the offer to tempt Hedy not to pester Lance. In this way, Lance might love her wholeheartedly.
Besides, although Hedy didn't love Lance sincerely, Lance loved her. Maggie was willing to bring him together with the woman he loved after she died.
As for the Rudolph family, it was the same. Maggie was the only one left in the family. After she died, the Rudolph family would be heirless. Moreover, Lance had been stealing business secretly from the Rudolph family to upset her. Maggie would leave the Rudolph family to Lance instead of letting it decline. After she died, her staff would still have a place to make a living.
Maggie returned home after leaving the hospital. She seldom went to the company because Miles Dell was handling the business for her. Miles was her assistant and had been working with her for six years since graduation.
In the evening, after Maggie took a shower, the door was pushed open. Lance was back.
He usually came in the middle of the night, Maggie was surprised when he came at this hour, but she could guess why he came.
However, he didn't bring it up directly, and neither did Maggie. She took the hair dryer to dry her hair. After a while, she thought of something suddenly and raised the hair dryer in front of him. "Lance, we have been married for five years, but you haven't dried my hair once."
Lance frowned. "Are you blaming me?"
Maggie shook her head. "No, I just want you to dry my hair."
Whenever she saw such a scene on TV, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if Lance dried her hair.
"Tell me what exactly you want to do by saying those words in the hospital?" Lance finally took the hair dryer and dried her hair.
Just as Maggie expected, he came here for Hedy because he didn't believe her words.
Maggie didn't answer and closed her eyes to enjoy the softness of his fingers running through her hair.
Looking at her enjoyment, Lance was inexplicably irritated and threw the hair dryer aside. Maggie knew that he was unwilling to do that, but she longed for a moment of warmth with him, even if it was an illusion.
Maggie thrust the hair dryer into Lance's hand again and said childishly, "If you don't dry my hair, I won't tell you."
"Maggie…"
"Come on, Honey. Continue." Maggie looked like she was coaxing a child at the moment.
Lance looked at her and finally picked up the hair dryer again. Maggie smiled brightly with satisfaction like a child who had received the most desired compliment.
For some reason, Lance's heart suddenly tightened when he looked at her contented face. He couldn't dry her hair anymore, tossing away the hair dryer and standing in front of the window.
Knowing that she couldn't force him, Maggie didn't press him. She went up to Lance and leaned her head against his back. "Lance, what I said in the hospital today is true. I have no other purpose than to make you happy."
"Do you think I'll be happy when you put forward such a condition?" Lance's voice was cold.
All she wanted was only three months with him, and she would give her all she had.
"""Only three months. Lance, I only need you for three months. I've been married to you for five years. Can't I have you for three months?"" Maggie begged humbly.
She was no longer the tough businesswoman in people's eyes."
Lance swallowed hard. "Maggie, what's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"
His question moved tears to Maggie's eyes. He cared about her because he noticed something was wrong.
In fact, anyone would think she was being strange if he thought carefully. How would a normal woman give her kidney to her rival in love? Maggie even offered her identity as his wife as well as her property.
In order not to let him see her tears, Maggie pressed her face against his back again and said, "Honey, promise me, okay?"
Lance's lips moved, but before he uttered anything, his cell phone rang.
Hedy's voice came weakly from the other end of the line. "Lance, I don't want her kidney. I would rather die than lose you..."
