Chapter 429: Chapter 429



Adrian was extremely cautious in this area. Despite a long period of abstinence, he was always mindful of Joelle’s well-being, holding back more often than not. However, despite the rarity, Joelle struggled to feel any desire.

Their lovemaking was brief and merely satisfied basic physical needs.

Meanwhile, Wade didn’t hesitate to pay a hefty deposit for a pair of custom wedding shoes, swiping his card effortlessly.

The woman next to him was both surprised and thrilled.

She could hardly believe Wade had proposed to her.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.” She walked beside him, attempting to link arms with him. After all, they were about to be married, and such closeness was to be expected soon.

“After the wedding…”

Wade’s sudden comment made the woman quickly pull her hand back.

“What about after the wedding?”

galnovℯℓs․com keeps you updated “After the wedding, I plan to live abroad.”

She assumed Wade meant they would move together and agreed instantly.

Wade seemed like an excellent choice for a husband. Being chosen by him felt like an incredible stroke of fortune. Her family was poor and deep in debt. The first time she worked at a nightclub, Wade took an interest in her. She expected to sleep with him, but instead, he asked, “Do you want to make money?”

With her financial burdens weighing on her, she quickly agreed.

Wade cleared her debts immediately and provided her with a generous allowance.

Naturally, she questioned, “Why did you pick me?”

Wade replied, “Because you’re clean.”

She realized that being powerless and without status made her easy to manipulate.

Despite this, Wade had rescued her from a desperate situation, and she couldn’t help but nurture a faint hope of love for him.

The following day, Wade married her.

Afterward, he presented her with a stack of documents to sign. At first, she skimmed through them, but upon recognizing them as prenuptial agreements, she didn’t want Wade to think she was after his wealth. So, she signed everything his assistant handed her without hesitation.

Three days after their marriage registration, Wade said, “I’m going abroad.”

“What should I get ready?”

“There’s nothing for you to prepare.”

She stood there, puzzled. “Does that mean we’ll be living separately?”

She felt betrayed and surprised but couldn’t comprehend that Wade’s generosity had been mere pretense.

Still, she trusted him. “Did you marry me because you needed me to do something for you?”
