What??

From the blurb, I figured this would be a friend doing a favour for a friend they secretly love or something like that.

Instead, this is straight up financial blackmail, as the fmc is in dire financial straits and needs cash, and our gentlmanly mmc ruins *two* jobs she does excellently and suggests she get pregnant instead. Because having a baby and committing for a lifetime is a much better option than waitressing at a topless restaurant for a few months, right? Especially considering he could loan her the money she needs without breaking a sweat.

Um, no.

Also, suspension of disbelief goes only so far. The mmc wants to bring a child into a dysfunctional family in order to... get his beloved grandma's house. All we have is some lawyer's word that the will is airtight. Seriously? How about adoption? Or buying the estate after it's given away? Or even breaking in and stealing his favourite mementos? And the mmc is all "airtight? Let's make a baby then!"

To summarise: I can't root for a rich mmc that ruins the fmc's employment to get her to have a baby, or one that agrees to have a baby for such a flimsy reason. Dnf at 66%.
