“Wait... What? So basically, you want a pretend engagement?"

Maria was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Anthony had something like this in mind, But why? Why did he need to do this in the first place?

Because of her natural distrust of strangers, Maria didn't find any reason to agree.

Besides, the main reason why she followed Bill to Sheffield was because she had something to do here. She didn't want to complicate her life with this facade.

Obviously, there was a hidden story as to why Anthony needed to pretend that he was disabled. However, it had nothing to do with Maria, and she was not interested in being involved.
