Chapter 1092

Joshua was a strong man. Fiona knew that if he came up to her, there was a very high chance she would
not be able to win in a physical fight against him.

Therefore, she narrowed her eyes, put the knife closer to the rope tied on Nigel, and threatened, “ Wrap
the contract around a rock and toss it over! “

Joshua froze in his step, and his expression darkened as soon as he heard this.

However, he still followed suit. He crouched down to pick up a rock and chuckled. “What are you worried
about? I’ve promised to marry you and vowed to protect you. Do you really think I’ll break that promise?

“If you act so defensively against me, what will our future be like?“

There was a hint of kindness in his harsh, emotionless words.

Joshua had never talked to Luna like this before, so she was puzzled for a moment, trying to figure out if
Joshua meant it or if he was simply trying to trick Fiona.

However, one thing was clear: Joshua had never displayed this warmth and kindness toward her at all.

Joshua put both the contract and the rock into a plastic bag and tossed it over to Fiona as instructed.
The rock landed at her feet with a thud.

Just as Fiona bent down to pick up the bag, Joshua turned to shoot Luna a meaningful look.

When Fiona stood up again, he turned his head back to face her and smiled at her.

Fiona opened the contract, and there it was, clearly written, (Joshua Lynch will protect Fiona Blake
against any foreign police that wanted to prosecute her from the crime she committed and will marry her
and take care of her until the end of her days.



[If he fails to achieve any of the clauses, all assets down to every single penny of Lynch Group will be
hereby transferred to her name.]

Seeing the contract in her hand, Fiona suddenly felt like changing her mind.

She did not want to die at all. What if…

What if Joshua could truly help her avoid

prosecution for the murder of Violet and Shaun Lewis and take care of her for the rest of her life?

If he kept to his promise, why would she choose to die?

However…

She lifted her head and stared at Joshua with a cold expression. Although she was faltering, she knew
she could not show her true emotions. “Why did you draw up this contract?“

Joshua replied without any hesitation, “You know what I care about.

“When we first met you, you already knew what I cared about most in this world. None of that has
changed.“

Fiona’s hands started shaking.

When she and Joshua first met, he was trying to save Nigel’s life by getting a suitable bone marrow
donor for his transplant. During that time, Joshua thought Fiona was dying from her disease, so when
she asked him to be with her, he agreed without a second thought.

All this while, Joshua treated her like a princess, giving her nothing but the best.



Although he could not give her his love or physical intimacy, he had already provided the best for her.
Therefore…

If she let go of Nigel, would she and Joshua be able to return to what they used to be?

As soon as she thought of this, Fiona bit down on her lip.

Although she knew that Joshua was a man of his word, she still did not think she could release Nigel just
like that.

“If you think I’m lying and won’t be able to protect or take care of you, then you can sign this contract

and take away all of my assets.“ Joshua could tell that Fiona was hesitating, so he added, “There’s
nothing for you to lose on signing this contract.“

Fiona fell into silence for a moment. Then, finally, she gave in to his words.

She put down the knife, lowered her head to grab the pen inside the plastic bag, and wanted to sign the
contract. However, there seemed to be something

wrong with the pen, and its ink came out a little choppy.

Fiona furrowed her brows and struggled to put her name on the contract, looking a little frustrated. As
soon as she lowered her head to sign the contract, Joshua narrowed his eyes and lunged toward her —
