Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

A while later, both Adam and Belle pulled away from the kiss.

Belle stood back, feeling a little shy and embarrassed.

Adam cast a meaningful glance at her and then at the priest with a sneer. “Will that do?”

“Y–Yes, that’ll do,” the priest stammered.

Charlie, after giving a glance to the displeased Penelope, slowly stood up.

Because of the Miller family’s antics, he hadn’t been too fond of Belle at first.

However, in just half an hour, Belle had completely changed his view of her.

He now accepted her as his granddaughter–in–law.

“The ceremony is over. Next, please join us at the Landor residence for the wedding banquet,” Charlie said with a smile.

The guests responded in a hurry.

The Landor family’s wedding banquet was obviously going to be extremely extravagant.

For the attendees, it was going to be a delightful experience.

However, for the newlyweds, such grandeur only meant one thing–exhaustion.

Belle, standing in her high heels, gritted her teeth.

She had been standing in the church for quite some time, and now she had to continue to stand and greet the guests.

Her feet were aching, but she couldn’t show any signs of discomfort.

Adam glanced at Belle and suddenly asked, “What is your shoe size?”

Belle instinctively replied with a number.

Adam nodded and gestured at a servant. “Go and fetch a pair of flat shoes her size.”

The servant left quickly as receiving Adam’s order.

Belle blinked and gave Adam a puzzled look.

If her thoughts were correct, Adam was getting her a pair of shoes.

She hurriedly said, “No need. I can manage. I—”

Adam interrupted her coldly. “If you trip and fall, it would be even more of an embarrassment.” Adam’s tone was rather harsh. This caused to Belle shrink back, not daring to say another word.

In no time, the servant returned with a pair of shoes.

Belle put on the flat shoes, instantly feeling a sense of relief. She stole a glance at Adam, she was even more grateful to him.

Belle followed Adam and offered toasts to the guests. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Adam went out to take a work–related call. After informing him, Belle headed to the balcony to take a break.

She sat down on a lounge chair without any sense of decorum, kicked off her shoes, and allowed her feet to relax for a moment.

It was September, and the weather was mild. There was a gentle breeze that was just right.

Belle’s expression softened as well.

At that moment, someone suddenly opened the door to the balcony.

“Adam, are you done?” Belle asked subconsciously.

There was

no answer.

Belle sensed that something wasn’t right and turned around. She was slightly surprised.

It was Timothy and Yana.

While the banquet hall buzzed with activity, this balcony seemed like a separate world, isolating all the noise.

Belle pursed her lips and asked calmly, “What are you doing here? I thought you were at the banquet.

Timothy didn’t respond to her question but instead posed another.

“Why did you resign all of a sudden? Why didn’t you disucss it with me beforehand? Do how much trouble this is going to cause the company?” Timothy shouted at Belle.

Yana pretended to be innocent and pretended to try to calm the agitated Timothy down by saying, “Timothy, don’t be mad. Belle resigned because she was in a hurry to get married.”

Belle looked at Yana’s feigned innocence, and Timothy who thought he was being all righteous.

This caused Belle to almost laugh out loud.

Belle paused for a moment and then smiled. “I’m Mrs Landor from now on, do you think I still need to work?”

Timothy looked at her with a contemptuous expression on his face. I’ve never realized before that you are such a shallow person. Is the Landor family’s money and power that important to you? Are you willing to marry someone like Adam for money and status?”

“I’m shallow?” Belle repeated inwardly.

She had never felt so ironic. She looked at Timothy coldly. “You mean I should work for you at your company for the rest of my life, then watch you two get married and give you my blessings?”

Timothy froze for a moment.

Yana quickly interrupted. “Belle, what are you talking about? Timothy and I truly love each other. He never had any feelings for you!”

Belle’s smile became even more sarcastic.

She looked at Timothy coldly and asked, “What did Yana tell you about my marriage?”

Timothy also realized what was going on and said, “Belle, stop stirring things up. Yana already told me everything. I didn’t expect you to turn out like this.”

Belle could guess what Yana had told Timothy. Yana must have said it was Belle’s vanity that made her give up Timothy’s company. Even the current meeting was most likely created by Yana on purpose to provoke the two into an argument to secure her position.

However, Belle had no intention of explaining things to Timothy.

First, Timothy might not believe her since he already had preconceived notions.

Second, it was unnecessary.

“Belle, considering that you used to be a member of the company, and you’re Yana’s sister, I’m kindly advising you that Adam isn’t a kind person. If you ever regret your decision, you can come back. I’ll can forgive you and let you work at my company again.” Timothy’s voice showed a sense of superiority.

Belle’s gaze, however, immediately turned cold.

Over the years, Belle had never felt an issue with the way Timothy spoke. She had even found his firmness and confidence reassuring.

However, after today’s wedding and her subsequent departure from the family, Belle suddenly

found these words unsettling. Why should this man dictate what he thought was best for her life? Why should she be grateful? This man had consistently manipulated her emotions to achieve his own goals, essentially gaslighting her, and she had never actually realized it.

She looked at Timothy with an indifferent face. “Timothy, Adam is my husband. If you ever speak ill of him in front of me again, I will no longer consider you as a friend”

Timothy was slightly taken aback by Belle’s words. “I’m telling you the truth!”

Belle suddenly stood up, her tone unwavering. “You all say he’s a terrible person, but what makes him terrible? I mean, his face is scarfed, but so what? Many people may look attractive on the outside but they are actually scheming on the inside. Adam, on the other hand, is broad–minded. He may look cold on the outside but has a warn heart. He is also very kind and considerate. He is a thousand times better than some of those good–looking people.”

Yana had stolen the spotlight at the banquet, but later she withdrew from her betrothal and asked to be replaced. The Miller family’s behavior was definitely inappropriate.

Originally, Belle thought that Adam would be absent from the wedding to teach her a lesson.

However, he actually showed up, leaving her with a trace of dignity.

That was enough to prove that he was broad–minded.

The priest deliberately made things difficult for Belle, as everyone could see it, but no one helped her.

Only Adam, seemingly indifferent, stood up for her. That showed how considerate he was.

Her feet ached from wearing high heels for too long, but no one even noticed.

It was Adam, who brought a new pair of shoes for her to change into.

Despite his less–than–pleasant tone, Belle focused on the result–her feet were much more comfortable.

That was why she felt Adam was kind and considerate.

Belle felt that she had spoken the absolute truth.

But Timothy was utterly perplexed.

“Broad–minded, cold on the outside but has a warm heart, kind and considerate… Is Belle talking about Adam? She must be out of her mind!” he exclaimed inwardly.

“I’m going back to the hall; help yourself.” Belle completely ignored Timothy and walked past him.

As soon as she walked back indoors, she collided with someone.

Belle was surprised when she saw who it was.

It was Adam!

What was he doing here?

Adam looked at Belle with interest. “I never thought I’d appear so perfect in my wife’s eyes.”

Adam had come to the balcony to look for Belle, but he didn’t expect to see Timothy.

He then heard what Belle had said about him, which made him want to laugh.

“Broad–minded, cold on the outside but has a warm heart, kind and considerate? When have I given this woman such a misconception?” he mused.

Under Adam’s teasing gaze, Belle blushed suddenly and stammered, “Sorry, I–I…”

452. 452.

“No need to apologize. You were simply speaking the truth,” Adam replied nonchalantly and then glanced at Timothy. “Isn’t that right, Mr. Leen?”

Timothy remained silent, but his face darkened.

“Let’s go. natural.

The guests are still waiting.” Adam held out his arm for Belle. Everything seemed so

As Belle walked past Timothy and Yana, Adam’s voice sounded in Timothy’s ear.

“Mr. Leen? I’d advise you to be careful from now on. Don’t touch what you shouldn’t, or I can’t guarantee what might happen to you.”
