Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

117



Zoe looked at Annie coldly, “For my benefit?”

She sneered, “If so, why doesn’t she just introduce Randy to you? After all, you are her favorite granddaughter, aren’t you?”

“Zoe!”

Jaden Gil rebuked in an angry voice.

“Zoe, I already have Steven. How could you say that. Our grandma loves you all the time, but you…”

“Stop it!”

Ciara interrupted Annie and turned her gaze at Zoe with a cunning look.

“Just tell me you agree to marry Randy or not.”

Zoe looked at Randy.

He was staring at her. Even after all the words she just said, he did not flinch.

It seemed that her relationship with Henry had been explained to Randy.

Since he was not fear of death, she could fulfill his wish.

She said softly, “I didn’t disagree.”

Ciara’s eyes brightened. “So you agree?”

“I can agree, but I need to live here for some time.”

Annie immediately frowned, “Zoe, don’t you have your own place?”

Zoe looked at her with a half-smile.

“You think that I am just a fancy woman of Henry, don’t you? So, I have to move out anyway.”

“But you have your own house…”

“So you forbid me moving in? Since that’s the case, just forget what I said!”

While Zoe was speaking, Ciara hurriedly said, “I agree!”

She paused and said in a deep voice, “You are a child of the Gil family, so you should marry into another family from the Gil family. It’s a deal. No one can raise any objection.”

Annie was a bit annoyed about the fact that Zoe would move back, but she could not help being excited when she thought Zoe would marry a man like Randy in no time.

Randy was also excited.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The woman was harsh on him just now and suddenly agreed to marry him.

He felt himself so lucky.

His face flushed with excitement, and he kept rubbing his hands.

“In that case, let’s fix a time!”

Helen said, “What a coincidence. My friend named this weekend for her daughter’s marriage because it was a good date. But it would be quite a hurry for the preparation.”

“No, we have a week.”

Jaden said at once.

Hearing that, Randy got more excited.

“It’s a little hasty to hold a wedding this weekend, but I can make it. I’ll make preparations for it as soon as I get back. I won’t make you feel aggrieved anyway.”

Zoe put on a cold smile and said nothing.

Ciara said with a smile, “Sorry to trouble you. A lot of young people favored getting married quickly. When the day for your wedding comes, you will have known each other for a week. It’s not hasty at all.”

“Yes.” Jaden echoed, “Mr. Kruf, if you don’t want to wrong Zoe, maybe you can prepare more gifts for the guests.”

After that, Helen threw Jaden a warning look.

He stopped talking immediately and turned his gaze at Zoe to observe her.

Zoe, who should be angry or a bit upset, was drinking her soup with a spoon with an indifferent look.

It was as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with her.

Jaden was a bit stunned.

Randy smiled, “Sure I’ll prepare enough gifts when I go back. I promise I won’t let you down.”

Jaden came to his senses and smiled happily.

“Well, let’s make a toast for it.”

With that, everyone raised their glasses.

Annie said with a smile, “I thought that I would get married before Zoe, but she makes a quick way. I am really happy for you, Zoe. Let me toast you.”

Zoe raised her head and looked at Annie with a half-smile.

She did not say anything, but picked up the glass and drank the wine without chinking glasses with Annie.

Annie twitched her mouth. She couldn’t suppress her joy and also drank the wine.

Only Steven did not raise his glass and frowned tightly.

“Zoe, have you really decided to get married?”

He had got a hunch that something was wrong.

Steven didn’t know Randy well, but he had heard of Randy.

Randy was very rich but had a rather complicated background. He was related to the underworld. Though Randy looked gentle and polite, he had a vicious character. It could been seen from his ex-wife’s death.

Though Zoe didn’t get along well with her family, her family should not introduce her to such a man!

However, Steven hadn’t married Annie, so he shouldn’t interfere in it as an outsider.

Though he was puzzled, he couldn’t put it blunt.

So, he could only raise such an ambiguous question.

Hearing that, Zoe put down the glass and smiled at him.

There was a touch of redness on her face that set off her fair skin.

She tilted her head slightly, her cheek resting on

her hand. She was smiling, like a budding flower.

“You care about me so much. Do you still like me?”

It was suddenly so quiet.

They were silent and looked at Zoe, astonished.

Ciara frowned.

“Zoe Gil! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Zoe pursed her lips, as if she had been drunk.

“Nothing! Steven always thought for me. I’m thinking about if he still likes me. Steven Anderson, if I hadn’t caught you and Annie in the bed, would we be together now?”

Annie’s expression faded away gradually.

Steven put on a long face and said in a cold voice, “Zoe, it’s the past. Why bring it up at this time?”

Only Randy was very astonished.

Ciara only told him that there was something between Zoe and Henry and she was a bit worried since Henry had a fiancee.

But Ciara never told him that Zoe was Steven’s girlfriend before.

He looked blankly at Zoe, then at Steven, and asked, “What are you talking about? Mr. Anderson, aren’t you Miss Annie’s boyfriend? Why…”

Annie held back the anger and smiled reluctantly.

“Sorry, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll go upstairs to rest.”

Then Annie stood up and hurried to leave.

Seeing this, Steven also got up and ran after her.

“Annie, wait for me.”

As he left the dining room, he paused and looked back at Zoe.

“You always mistake kindness for viciousness. I won’t mind your business anymore. Watch your back!”

With that, he left angrily and chased after Annie.
