Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Ciara paused a bit, heaving a sigh.

“She’s a filial girl. Unfortunately, she’s a girl and will eventually get married. I don’t think she could inherit such a big family and business.”

Jaden stiffened, looking at her gingerly.

Ciare reached out and picked up the teacup next to her, taking a sip. Then she continued, “Hubert is coming back recently, isn’t he?”

Hubert Gil, Jaden’s nephew, was the only son of Ciara’s youngest son. He was Ciare’s grandson.

Since Jaden married Kiera, the daughter of the richest family in Julio, the Gil family also climbed up the social ladder rapidly.

Unfortunately, the Gil family didn’t have many family members. Ciara only had two sons.

Jaden’s younger brother, Percy had passed away because of an illness, leaving a pregnant wife. Later, Kiera sympathized with them a lot, so she helped them move to Julio and bought them a house.

Percy’s wife, Amy, was a cold and aloof woman. Although she and her son were staying in the same city with them, she seldom contacted the Gil or the Hawkins family.

Kiera respected her. Since she knew that Amy didn’t want to keep in touch with them, she didn’t pay much attention to Amy and her son if there was nothing important.

Only ten years ago, when Hubert was going abroad, Amy didn’t have much money at that time, so Kiera helped them again.

Although they should be quite close, they didn’t keep in touch in the past, which was kind of weird.

Upon hearing Ciara’s questions, Jaden nodded, his eyes twinkling.

“Yes. I called him earlier. He said he’s coming back in April this year.”

“Good. As long as he’ll come back. He’s a child of our Gil family, and he’s a straight A-student, a smart kid. I believe Gil Group will develop better after he takes it over.”

Jaden frowned subtly.

Ciara didn’t speak anything else. Waving her hand, she said, “All right. Go ahead to deal with the things you should. I’m so tired now. I’ll take a nap.”

Jaden nodded. “Okay, Mother.”

…

On the other side.

Zoe was fully concentrated on her work.

Curtis had a pretty tight schedule recently, but those were some minor commercial activities. After all, he had just come back to Ambario, he was still deciding on the bigger activities.

The only big activity recently should be his concert, which was held particularly for his fans.

It was a small concert, and would only be held once. It would last for two hours, and there were only a small amount of tickets, either. It wasn’t a commercial activity. He held such a concert just because he had come back to Ambario not long ago. Although he had a lot of fans, due to his limited domestic activities, he didn’t have many loyal fans.

Most of them only fancied his appearance or only showed their occasional interests to him.

The small concert that Zoe was planning for him was like a meet-and-greet for him, just for

drawing him closer to the audience, so that he would have some loyal fans soon.

After all, it was quite different in Ambario and overseas they must have the ability to protect Curtis from the anti-fans and fake fans. When Curtis was developing his career abroad, he didn’t pay attention to those factors, so he didn’t have much experience in being an idol. This concert was also a foundation for their efforts in the future.

The concert was a big success. As an experienced superstar in the entertainment business, Curtis knew how to obtain his fans’ hearts very well.

Just after he had sung a few songs, the fans offstage had screamed themselves hoarsely. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely good.

Zoe kept an eye on the concert in person.

Seeing such a result, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was about to leave before the concert ended, she saw a familiar small figure in the corner of the auditorium.

Anne?

She wondered why the little girl was here.

Zoe looked around carefully but didn’t find any adult next to her.

The little girl was sitting there alone, watching the stage concentrated. Her tender and fair face were covered by the black shadow, making Zoe feel so sorry for her.

In a hurry, Zoe strode over.

“Hey, Anne? Why are you here alone? Where is your family?”

The little girl withdrew her gaze from the stage. When seeing her, Anne widened her eyes in surprise.

“Mommy!”

She hopped off from the chair delightfully, pouncing at Zoe.

Zoe hurriedly reached out and caught her. Meanwhile, an employee, who came to report to her, gaped.

“Is Miss Gil married already?”

“Miss Gil even already has a child?”

Inwardly, the employee couldn’t help but exclaim, wondering what a big gossip they had missed.

Zoe didn’t know what was going on in the employee’s mind at all. She took over the report from the employee and asked her to go back to her work first.

Then she put down the little girl. Looking at her seriously, Zoe asked, “Anne, why are you here

alone? Where is your great-grandmother?”

Since she mentioned it, Anne curled her lips immediately.

“My great-grandmother and I got lost again. Mommy, why don’t you take me home? Let me stay with you.”

“Uh…”

Zoe was startled and found it hilarious.

“Anne, you can’t speak such words to a stranger. It’ll be quite dangerous. Tell me. Where did you get lost with your great-grandmother? I can take you to find her.”

Anne tilted her head, blinking at Zoe with her big eyes.

“But, we’re not strangers. Mommy, you are the best mommy in the world. How can you be a stranger?”

Zoe smiled helplessly.

She squatted down and explained patiently, “But we’ve just met each other not long ago. If I have an evil mind, you’ll be in danger, won’t you?”

Upon hearing it, Anne looked as if she was thinking about her words carefully.

After a long while, she nodded reluctantly.

“All right. I know you said that for my own good. I accept your kindness.”

As she spoke, she patted Zoe’s head seriously as if she was saying, “All right. I know you don’t believe there’s true love in this world, but I don’t mind. I respect your opinion.”

Zoe found it all the more hilarious. Since there was no one around, she lifted Anne.

“Okay, Anne. Tell me. Where did you get lost? I’m taking you to find your great-grandmother now.”

Anne seemed to be a bit reluctant, but she still nodded in agreement.

“Okay!”

She showed Zoe that her great-grandmother and she were separated by the crowd when entering the concert hall.

Upon hearing it, Zoe was so angry.

How careless Anne’s parents were!

Anne was so little and they just let such an old lady take care of her. Zoe wondered why they could rest assured of that.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Her great grandmother was old already, so she couldn’t hold Anne for a long time. Anne was still a little kid. Once they went to a crowded place, it was pretty easy for them to separate.

Zoe wondered what was on the mind of Anne’s parents.

While inwardly cursing, Zoe asked the staff working at the front desk to help them look for the granny.

Anyway, everyone who had come here for the concert should be in the hall right now and hadn’t left yet.
