Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Before Zoe finished her words, she suddenly felt warm on her back. Then her waist was wrapped by a pair of hands.

She was startled, letting out a scream. When she turned around, she saw the man’s smiling handsome face.

“Henry?” Zoe breathed a sigh of both relief and shock, “Why didn’t you tell me when you came in? You freaked me out!”

As she spoke, she patted herself on the chest.

She was wearing a loose v-neck t-shirt. When she bent down her head, Henry could see her delicate collarbones.

Henry’s eyes were darkened. He didn’t speak. Lowering his head, he pecked on her lips first and then started to kiss her eyebrows and eyes.

Zoe was confused by his sudden enthusiasm. She was quite slim, trapped between his chest and the glass worktop. She couldn’t dodge at all but only be forced to hold her head up and feel his kiss.

Henry kissed her for a long while before letting her go. With his forehead pressing hers, he chuckled.

Zoe gasped for several breaths and finally came back her to senses, still a bit confused.

“Why? What happened?”

Henry seemed quite abnormal today.

He was always enthusiastic to her, but he still paid attention to the occasion. He wouldn’t do anything intimate to her in a place like the kitchen at all.

Zoe wondered what was wrong with him today. Henry smiled. Reaching out, he tossed the hair behind her ear. He whispered to ask, “Have you met my aunt?”

Zoe was taken aback.

Gazing at him with her watery eyes, she asked, “How did you know?”

“She came to find me in my company earlier.”

“To complain about me?”

Henry was quite honest. He didn’t hide it, nodding.

Zoe felt quite amused. She slightly took a step back, leaning against the worktop. However, she was still in the man’s arms.

Holding her arms, she said with a faint smile, “I’ve offended your aunt who has brought you up. Mr. Han, how will you punish me?”

Henry raised his eyebrows.

“Well, I must punish you.”

Suddenly, he bent down his head, his face approaching her.

When their lips almost touched, Zoe immediately moved back.

Feeling guilty, she took a glance at the door of the kitchen. After ensuring that no one was peeping, she said in an embarrassed and angry tone, “What are you doing? Stop it!”

Henry giggled.

He was quite tall with his long legs. His arms were stretching to each side of her body. His shadow almost covered her completely. Even the air seemed to be fulfilled with happiness and sweetness.

Zoe blushed for some reason. She didn’t know what this man was doing. Seeing that he was motionless, she reached out to push his chest.

“If you don’t have anything to do, just go out. I haven’t finished cooking the soup yet.”

Henry grabbed her hand.

“My aunt is quite short-tempered. She always believes others easily. But she’s not a bad person. I do apologize on her behalf to you. It won’t happen again in the future.”

Zoe was slightly taken aback.

Looking up at the man in front of her, she saw the soft light fall from above his head, covering his cool and handsome face with a hazy halo.

She had never expected that he would say those words to her.

Actually, she didn’t feel aggrieved, but she felt quite uncomfortable. However, in her opinion, the relationship between Henry and her was different from that between her and his aunt.

Hence, even if he didn’t explain, she wouldn’t care at all.

However, this man…

She felt warmth from the bottom of her heart, which warm up her whole heart.

Zoe curled up her lips into a smile. Shaking her head, she said, “I didn’t take it to heart. In fact, I also spoke some words that I shouldn’t. After all, she’s your aunt and has brought you up. I hope my words wouldn’t hurt the relationship between her and you.”

Henry smiled.

Reaching out to rub her hair, he said in a doting tone, “Silly girl!”

…

They didn’t leave the kitchen until a long while later.

In the evening, Mr. K called Zoe, telling her that his investigation had some progress.

Five years ago, Helen transferred a huge amount of money to a bank account. The account owner was an auto-repair man, named Erik Spears.

Back then, Kiera often went to the auto-repair plant Erik Spears worked in. As long as her car had any problem, she would send the car to that plant.

Mr. K wanted to catch the man and let Zoe interrogate Erik Spears in person, but some accident happened on the way. He ran away.

Upon hearing the news, Zoe felt as if her heart was pinched by a huge hand.

After taking a few deep breathes, she finally suppressed the anger in her chest. She said solemnly, “I got it.”

Mr. K comforted her on the phone, “Although we didn’t catch him, we managed to have the evidence. Your mother’s car accident must have

something to do with that woman. What’s your plan next then?”

“She killed my mother. She should pay with her life.”

“But the evidence in your hand isn’t enough to sue them for murder.”

“Ho! Really? Then we can do it step by step. I’ll make them return all the things that they have snatched from my mother and make them pay the price for whatever they framed me before.”

…

On the second day.

A shrill scream was heard in Gil Mansion suddenly.

“Bang!” The door of the bathroom was smashed open. Annie trotted out with a pale face.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Upon hearing the exclaim, Helen rushed over with the servants as well as Jaden, who had just got home.

Holing the wall, with an extremely pale face, Annie pointed in the direction where the bathroom was with her trembling fingers.

“Blood… So much blood…”

“What?”

Everyone raised their head and looked over at the bathroom, only to find that the white floor was covered with blood.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The crimson blood came out from the corner, just like the equinox flower blossom in hell, impacting everyone’s sight.

All of them looked pale. Helen looked annoyed. Jaden roared in anger, “What’s going on here? Who cleaned the bathroom today?”

A servant stood out in the crowd timidly. “Mr. Gil, I did it.”

Jaden pointed at the blood on the floor. “What’s this? Is that how you do your job?”

The servant immediately shook her head, looking quite shocked and horrified.

“Mr. Gil, I have nothing to do with it. I have cleaned the bathroom. I also don’t know where the blood was from.”

“If you don’t know, who else would? You’re in charge of it. Except you, is there anyone in the house who has come in?”

“But I truly haven’t done anything. Mr. Gil, I like my job here. Why would I have to do such a thing? It’s really not me!”

The servant was so panicked, almost bursting into tears. With a tightened face, after a moment of silence, Annie said in a deep tone, “Dad, I don’t think she has done it.”

Of course, Jaden although thought so. However, he was quite panic and couldn’t blame anyone

for it for the time being, so he vented his anger on the servant.
