Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

29



Henry looked at her with a wry smile, “How’s that? Can you say it now?”

Zoe laughed awkwardly.

But while she was reluctant, he’s been waiting, so there were no other ways to go.

It took a long while before she finally managed to force out a “Honey”.

However, her voice was so low, and it was barely audible to herself.

Henry raised his eyebrows and brought his ear over, “What did you call me?”

Zoe gritted her teeth, raising her voice a little, “Honey.”

“I can’t hear you.”

Zoe became even more nervous.

But finally, she gave up. She had been through a lot, why should she care about her face just now?

She simply threw her arms around his neck and suddenly came up to his ear and yelled, “Honey!”

After that, she let go of him immediately, and shrank back to the other side.

Henry was stunned.

Turning his head, he stared at her incredulously.

Zoe turned her face to the side, pretending to be calm.

But in fact, she was already so nervous, and her heart might just jump out of her chest any moment.

Suddenly, the giggles of a man sounded in her ear.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Startled, she thought to herself, ‘Did I break anything when I yelled at him just now? Why’s he laughing?’

She looked over curiously, and saw him holding back his laughter, “I just want you to call me Henry. I did not think you would be so passionate and call me honey. Emm … then I will just follow your lead and call you honey as well!”

With that, he produced a little box from his pocket and slipped a delicate diamond ring onto her ring finger.

Zoe was stunned.

Her mind was now totally blank, and she could not even think properly anymore.

‘What? What is going on?’

Before she could do anything, the man reached over again and held to his lips her hand on which he just put the ring, and gently gave it

a kiss.

“Honey, happy marriage!”

Zoe totally didn’t know what to say.

When her senses finally came back to her, she knew she had been tricked by this man.

Her delicate face suddenly flushed red in fury.

He just had planned it!

She was so angry and wanted to take the ring down but was stopped by him.

“Honey, you don’t take your ring off easily. It’s a mark. With it, you will only be mine. You can never regret it.”

Zoe was about to cry.

“Henry Han, I already want to regret it now. What should I do?”

“Then you should never think about that again.”

He said in a domineering tone, and Zoe did not know what to do then.

But right at this moment, her rang with a ‘ding’ sound.

She could only pulled back her hands reluctantly. Anyway, this man had just helped her tonight, she would just leave everything for the time being and planned to talk about it later.

She produced her phone from her pocket and noticed that it was a message from Victoria Kaur, her childhood friend.

There was also a link attached to it, which led to the video Henry had asked his men to release.

[Zo, I just got off work and saw this, are you alright?]

Victoria had been busy with some night scenes recently. Except for those rare days off, she started her days normally in the afternoon and got back around five or six in the morning.

That’s also why she did not go to the birthday banquet of Annie.

Zoe wrote her a reply hurriedly.

[I’m fine. Don’t worry.]

[Ok then, they really went too far. I was so angry!]

[They will get what they deserve.]

[Just tell me whenever you need my help. I will let my assistant keep an eye on my phone these days.]

Zoe smiled as a warm current flowed through her heart.

She then wrote a swift reply.

[Ok, thanks, Victoria.]

And she ended the message with a string of kisses and hearts.

It was normal for girls to use emoji like that when they chatted online, so that they could feel the affection and care of each other even from the screen.

But the man next to her did not find it very proper.

He did not intend to peek at her phone, but they were in the car anyway and his vision was great.

With a careless glance, he caught sight of their messages.

That string of hearts and kisses caught all of his attention.

He snorted and said in a grim voice, “Victoria? You two close?”

Zoe nodded, “Yeah, we were classmates in

the high school. We grew up together. She’s my childhood friend.”

“Heh, there are no true friends in the entertainment industry. Careful. She might do something bad behind your back.”

Zoe frowned.

She turned to him and said in a serious voice, “It doesn’t matter what industry you are in. People may lie to you and may be sincere regardless their profession. I have known her even before she entered the entertainment industry!”

Henry gave a light hum.

“Naive!”

She didn’t know what to say to that, but she was somewhat angry.

Then she just ignored him, took a cushion pillow in her arms and turned around.

After the tossing and turning of the last night, she was tired.

Leaning against the car window, she had just wanted to close her eyes for a while, but she had fallen asleep finally.

Silence filled the car. Outside the windows, a thin white line could already be seen in the sky, and the morning dawn slowly blossom in the hazy mist.

The road began to be gradually filled up with cars. Among these cars, there were a clamor of the commuters who were traveling by bicycle down the street and passersby who were on their morning jogs.

Henry whispered to Brian to slow the car down. Then he took off his jacket to cover it over Zoe. Finally, he also closed his eyes and leaned back to take a nap.

Zoe woke up in a warm embrace.

When she opened her eyes, the silver-bordered sky outside was still carrying the same dim color.

Only the surroundings looked a bit unfamiliar. She rubbed her eyes and looked closely before she realized that this place looked somewhat familiar. She had been here before, and it seemed to be the Han Mansion.

Looking up, she met the perfectly handsome hand with a hard shudder.

“AHH-”

With a startled cry, she finally realized that she was being carried across his arms and towards the house.

“Henry Han! Put me down!”

Only then did Henry look down at her with a light smile in his eyes.

“You are awake?”

Zoe’s face flushed slightly as she quietly glanced around and found a row of servants standing at the entrance, all smiling brightly, and Brian was also standing at the end of the line.

She instantly covered her face, wanting to die.

“Put me down! I can walk by myself!”

Henry chuckled but eventually respected her, so he bent down to put her down.

“Welcome come! Mr. and Mrs. Han!”

The powerful and uniform sound of servants startled Zoe

Immediately after that, there was the sound of party poppers.

“Pop-”

“Pop-”

“Pop-”

It rang for a whole five or six minutes before it stopped.

Zoe was so frightened that she almost fell down, but fortunately Henry held her tight so that she was saved from the embarrassment.

After the greeting ceremony, Brian came forward with a pleasing face.

“Mrs. Han, I have prepared this greeting ceremony for you, do you like it? How do you think of it?”

Zoe gave a stiff smile, looked at him, and finally nodded with difficulty.

“Oh … I like it, I like it a lot.”

“It’s good that you like it.”

After saying that, he then winked at Henry, as if he was waiting for his reward.

Henry was also in a good mood, and naturally he would be generous enough. He waved his hand, “Double bonus this month!”

“Thank you. Mr. Han!”
