Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Zoe’s heart seemed to melt immediately.

She looked over at the granny, who was also staring at her with a begging look. How could she turn the granny and the little girl down?

Finally, Zoe gave up her appointed business dinner in the evening. She drove the granny and the little girl to a parent-child restaurant in the city center.

The decoration in this restaurant was quite warm and harmonious. It was the first time that Zoe came here.

Besides them, a lot of parents took their kids over for dinner.

The dining tables were on one side of the restaurant, and on the other side was a small amusement park.

After ordering the dishes, Zoe encouraged Anne to go play with other kids in the amusement park because it would take a bit of time to wait for the dishes.

However, Anna shook her head. Looking at the kids over there, she looked disdainful and alert.

Zoe also noticed it. Although the little girl looked enthusiastic, inwardly, she did not like being with people that much in nature.

She wondered what her parents would be like.

However, Anne was quite intimate with her since they first met, which made Zoe felt a bit weird.

“Miss, I can tell Anne likes you so much. Usually, she doesn’t like getting closer to a stranger at all. Even in our family, except for the closest ones, she wasn’t willing to let others approach her. However, since you first met, she has liked you so much. I believe that’s called fate,” said the granny slowly.

Smiles were written all over her face and eyes.

Zoe also smiled. She turned around to look at Anne, stroking her hair gently.

“Exactly. I also believe that we have the fate. Not only she likes me, but I also like her.”

Upon hearing it, Anne curled her smiling eyes at her joyfully, like a coquettish kitten.

Zoe became so obsessed with her cuteness.

The granny said with a smile, “By the way, you’ve helped us twice already, but I still don’t know your name.”

“Zoe. You can just call me Zoe.”

“Oh, I like your name, Miss Gil. You looked so young. Do you have a boyfriend?”

Zoe curled up her lips.

“I’m married.”

“Oh?”

The granny looked quite surprised. Then she said with a smile, “Well, it’s not surprising though. You are such an outstanding girl. You must have a lot of admirers. Who’s so lucky to marry you?”

Zoe didn’t intend to disclose so much information about Henry to an outsider. Hence, she said with a smile, “He’s an outstanding man. I’m so lucky.”

“Well, I can tell that your manners are extraordinary, and your appearance is noble. Probably he’s the lucky one.”

Zoe laughed out, but she didn’t give any remarks about it.

The dishes were served pretty soon. Zoe didn’t like talking while eating, but the granny kept chatting with her. Hence, she had to echo the granny from time to time.

“Zoe, you are so pretty. I’m sure your husband must treat you well. Have you got any plan to have a baby?”

Zoe almost got choked up by the food in her mouth. She hurriedly took a sip of the water and answered, “So far we don’t have such a plan yet.”

“I see!”

Zoe wondered if that was her illusion after she answered this question, the granny knitted her brows somewhat.

Feeling the atmosphere was becoming a bit awkward, immediately, Zoe changed the subject.

“By the way, did you come to Julio for a trip with Anne alone? Did you have any friend or family here with you?”

Earlier, Anne told her that she came to Julio for a trip with her great-grandmother.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

The granny shook her head. “Nope. Only two of us came here.”

Zoe subconsciously frowned.

“Please excuse me if I’m too rude although I don’t know Anne’s father, I believe he’s too careless that he dared to let you take Anne here for a trip alone. What if something happens to you?”

The granny explained with a smile, “It won’t happen. We’re quite careful. Besides, there are always more kind people in this world. If we’re in trouble, we can ask them for help. Didn’t we meet a kind-hearted lady like you?”

Looking at the optimistic granny, Zoe twitched her mouth corners but didn’t give any remarks.

She had experienced the dark side of this world a lot of times. However, in Anne’s presence, she didn’t want to mention them.

It seemed that the granny also figured out what was in her mind. She heaved a sigh helplessly.

“Actually, I also wanted her father to take her on the trip, but her father is way too busy. Anne wanted to travel around, so the duty fell on my old shoulders.”

Zoe smiled. She said considerately, “It must be a difficult job. But please try your best to pay more attention next time. Anne is still young. If you got lost and she met someone bad, it would be terrible.”

The granny nodded hard. “I know it. Zoe, thank you for your kindly reminder.”

Zoe didn’t speak more words. They finished the dinner pretty soon.

After dinner, the granny took the initiative to pay for the bill.

However, she fumbled in her pockets but failed

to get any money. Her expression also changed.

“Shoot! I seemed to have lost my wallet!”

Zoe’s expression also changed slightly.

“When did you lose it? Can you remember anything?”

The granny shook her head.

They walked back to their table and looked around but failed to find anything. The granny looked so embarrassed. “Ah… I’m so embarrassed. I originally wanted to treat you to a dinner, but I’ve lost my wallet… Well…”

Zoe said, “It’s alright. Just a meal. It’s my treat for you then.”

As she spoke, she gave her credit card to the waitress and paid for the bill.

Then she asked with concerns, “Do you need me to go to the police station with you? You should have some important documents in your wallet. In that case, I’m afraid you should report the loss first. Otherwise, it might cause you some unnecessary loss.”

The granny waved her hand to refuse.

“Oh, not necessary. I just put some changes to it. I left all my documents in the hotel. Besides, there is nothing important in my wallet. No need to report to the police.”

Seeing that, Zoe couldn’t force her. She nodded.

“It’s getting late. I’ll drive you back to the hotel.”

“Okay. Thank you so much, Zoe.”

Zoe drove the granny and the little girl back to their hotel.

In a surprise, she found that they were staying in the most luxurious five-star hotel in Julio.

Earlier, the granny told her that Anne’s father was too busy to take the little girl out for a trip.

She also recalled that Anne didn’t have a mother.

Hence, subconsciously, Zoe thought that Anne’s father was quite busy making a living. However, judging from the hotel they stayed in, she felt that she had made a wrong guess.

Zoe didn’t overthink too much, though. After all, safety came first for a granny and a little kid. It was normal for them to stay in a high-end hotel.

Zoe walked them in. Much to her surprise, they were stopped by the hotel staff at the entrance.
