The Billionaire’s Temporary Bride

As soon as Rosiley left, the room fell into silence.

Yayoi leaned against the head of the bed and drank the water.

Maddox stared at her for a long time before he asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Tell you what?” Yayoi looked at him in confusion.

“Tell me you were in a bad mood.”

Yayoi curled her lips and said, “You’re busy with family matters, aren’t you? I don’t want to worry you anymore.”

“But now you worry me.” Maddox smiled helplessly. “Yayoi, we are lovers. I don’t want you to be so sensible. I will feel that I’m useless to be your boyfriend.”

“No, Maddox.” Yayoi smiled bitterly, “You have to worry about your grandfather and you have no time to care about me. So I can only treat myself alone.”

“Are you complaining about me?” Maddox asked tentatively.

Yayoi raised her eyebrows, “If I say yes, what will you do?”

“What will I do?” Maddox pretended to think seriously. A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and he looked at her in a gentle manner. He said softly, “I will be very happy, because I will have the feeling that you treat me as your boyfriend.”

Yayoi chuckled, staring at him with affection.

Maddox gently stroked her head with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. “Yayoi, I have some good news for you.”

“What’s it? Did your grandfather allow us to be together?” Yayoi thought it was the only good news for her, and other things were not good news.

Maddox laughed and pinched her nose dotingly. “He will allow soon.”

“Really?” Yayoi widened her eyes in disbelief. “You didn’t coax me just to make me happy, did you?”

“No.” Maddox smiled and shook his head, “Actually, Wendy volunteered to dissolve the engagement.”

“Wendy?” Yayoi was more shocked. She reached out to touch Maddox’s forehead and frowned, “Maddox, you’re not having a fever, right?”

Maddox helplessly took her hand away and said. “No. I’m telling the truth. Wendy said that in front of my grandpa and me.”

“It’s impossible!” Yayoi blurted out. She sneered, “Unless the sun rises in the west, she will definitely not take the initiative to annul the engagement.”

“You don’t believe her like that?”

Yayoi pursed her lips. “No, I don’t believe her. And she totally can’t be trusted. Wendy used money to send me away a few days ago and even threatened me. She would not suddenly be so kind. There’s definitely something wrong with that.”

It was precisely because she had come into contact with Wendy that she knew that Wendy was not as gentle and innocent as her appearance. More simply, Wendy was scheming.

Maddox had to take Wendy’s words seriously, because both Rosiley and Yayoi were suspecting Wendy. He wondered if there was something wrong as what Yayoi said.

However, he remembered that when Wendy proposed to dissolve the engagement, there was nothing suspicious, and he didn’t felt that something was wrong.

Maddox was lost in thought. Yayoi called out, “Maddox…”

Maddox came back to his senses when he heard the voice.

“What’s on your mind?” Yayoi asked.

He smiled and said, “I was just thinking about what you said.”

He held her hand and smiled gently, “Yayoi, regardless of whether Wendy has a purpose or not, since she propose to dissolve the engagement, I have a chance to make it real.”

Yayoi only looked at him and did not say anything.

He continued, “Yayoi, let’s get married.”

Yayoi’s eyes widened and filled with disbelief. She asked, “What… what are you talking about?”

Did she hear wrong?

Maddox held her hand and kissed it. He looked at her affectionately and repeated word by word, “Let’s get married.”

She didn’t hear wrong.

She pursed her lips tightly and looked into his tender black eyes. She was moved, feeling warm in heart.

Her eyes grew moist. After a long time, she gently nodded, “OK.”

Maddox smiled and held her into his arms tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.

Yayoi quietly leaned against his chest and heard his calm heartbeat. She felt the air was sweet, and she put on a sweet and happy smile.

…

It was true that alcohol caused trouble.

When Juliet opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment, she was so frightened that she sat up suddenly. A thought flashed through her mind.

She had a one-night stand?

She suddenly felt chilly in her chest.

She looked down stiffly. She was astounded and she quickly grabbed the blanket and covered her naked chest, screaming loudly.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“What’s the matter?”

The door was forcefully pushed open and a panic man rushed in.

Juliet turned around and saw Payton’s handsome face. Her eyes instantly turned red.

“Payton…”

Seeing that she was crying, Payton hurriedly walked over and asked anxiously, “What happened?”

“I… I…” Juliet sobbed and her voice was choked.

Payton frowned and asked again, “What exactly happened?”

Juliet wiped away her tears and sobbed, “I… I… had a one-night stand.”

“One-night stand?” At first, Payton didn’t understand what she meant. When he reacted, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Juliet, who was immersed in her own sorrow, immediately stopped crying. She questioned discontentedly, “What are you laughing at? Is it so funny?”

Payton laughed uncontrollably and pointed at her, “Do you… think you had a one-night stand with someone else?”

Juliet frowned. Didn’t she?

Seeing her confused expression, Payton laughed even more uncontrollably. His laughter filled the entire room.

Juliet was angry, “Payton, what do you mean? Are you still my boyfriend? Is it so funny that I have a one-night stand with someone else?”

Payton quickly restrained his laughter, but the corners of his lips were still turning up. He looked at Juliet, who was angry, and cleared his throat softly. He put on a serious expression and said, “If you really had a one-night stand with someone else, I would kill that man.”

Did he mean that… she didn’t have a one-night stand with anyone else?

But why she was naked?

Thinking about it, she looked down and lifted the blanket. She saw that she was indeed naked, and then she frowned.

Seeing her actions, Payton smiled and said, “Last night, you were drunk and vomited all over your body. I don’t have any women’s clothes here, so… Well, you know.”

She knew?

She didn’t know anything!

“Payton!” Thinking of her embarrassing movement just now, Juliet angrily picked up the pillow and threw it at Payton.

Payton caught it and said with a smile, “Your clothes are dried. I put them in the bathroom. Get changed and come out.”

Before Juliet could react, he turned around and left the room.
