Harley arrived at the ward in the evening.
He stared at Eudora as soon as he entered the room. Eudora was confused.
âWhat? Is there something on my face?â
âNo, Iâm just thinking if you were really going to marry Christopher, or is this just a part of your plan to take Amos back!â
Eudora was at a loss of words.
âYouâre thinking too much. Do I look like I have the time to do that?â
Harley nodded firmly and he replied, âOf course!â
Eudora was speechless.
âYou should leave if you donât have anything else to say. I still have to accompany Juju.â
âNo. Tell me honestly, was this all a show between you and Christopher? Did you actually take advantage of me to pass on the message?â
What was he talking about? Eudora was extremely confused at this point.
âWhy do you think that itâs just for show?â
âBecause you didnât get married today but Christopher got married. Amosâ heart used to waver, but now, heâs so sure about you, and he became extremely loyal to you.â
She did not hear the last sentence clearly because all she heard was that Christopher Gellert had gotten married.
âWhat do you mean by Christopher is married? Did he get married today?â
âYes, the wedding is held in the hotel.â
âWho is the bride?â
Harley shook his head and said, âI donât know who she is.â
âDo you have a photo?â
Harley took out a photo and handed it to Eudora. âI just went there for fun because I thought that you were getting married and Amos would definitely crash the wedding. The wedding would have been really lively if he did that. Yet, I didnât see you or Amos when I got there. Instead, I saw a bride whom I didnât know, so I took a photo.â
The girl in the picture was pretty good-looking but Eudora did not know her either.
She put down the photo and instinctively thought of calling Christopher. However, Harley stopped her and said, âThat wonât be the right thing to do. He has just gotten married. He is either busy or âenjoyingâ himself. What would he think if you called him right now?â
Eudora did not know what to say. She glared at Harley and turned to look at Juju.
Fortunately, Juju did not hear what Harley said. However, Harley had a point. This really was not a suitable time to call him.
âAlright, you should head back now!â
Harley was at a loss of words.
However, he did not intend to leave. He then said, âIt seemed like you werenât pulling tricks but youâve succeeded in capturing Amosâ heart. You are even better than me in this aspect. Why donât you teach me some of your secrets?â
At this moment, Jujuâs sweet voice came from behind Eudora, âMommy, what aspect is that? What secrets?â
Eudora was shocked.
Eudora rolled her eyes at Harley. She said in a hurry, âLeave now! Otherwise, I will break your leg!â
Harley replied, âDoes Amos know how incredible you are?â
Someone had just entered through the door just as Harleyâs words fell.
The two of them turned to see who it was and they happened to meet Amosâ eyes.
âI know. Do you have a problem with that?â
Harley did not know what to say.
Of course, Harley had nothing against it.
How would he dare to have any objections? He would be beaten to death if he did! He quickly found an excuse to escape.
â¦
At the same time, in the Gellert family.
After Christopher was done drinking, he walked slowly to the wedding room with the servantsâ help.
He had drunk a lot tonight and he was in a daze.
The warm yellow light in the room created a romantic atmosphere. Christopher was immediately placed on the wedding bed when he entered the room.
He lay there for a long time before he realized that he had gotten married to a girl whom he had just met for the first time.
It was a little absurd, but for some reason, it also a little funny too.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something, where was the bride?
Yes, where did the bride go?
He sat up clumsily and looked around the room. He then noticed a beautiful figure behind the glass door in the bathroom.
The girl stood behind the glass door and she was taking a shower.
Her hands were sliding up and down her slender body and he caught himself staring for a few seconds. He then looked away hurriedly.
The girl did not realize that she was being watched, and she began to sing while taking a bath.
âI love taking a shower, and my skin is so fine. La la laâ¦â
Christopher didnât know what to say.
Once the song ended, the girl wrapped herself in a bath towel and exited the bathroom.
She went blank for a moment when she saw him sitting there. She quickly composed herself and said loudly, âOh, youâre back?â
Christopher noticed that she was half-naked and the skin above her chest was exposed. His temples throbbed, âPut on your clothes first. Letâs talk!â
The girl lowered her head to check herself. She had covered everything that she needed to cover and she did not feel that there was anything wrong.
She simply walked over and sat down next to Christopher. âGo ahead!â
Christopher was speechless.
He stared at her as her fair body approached him. He could feel his heartbeat getting faster. After all, he was a man, and to top that off, he was extremely drunk. He took off his coat and put it around her.
The girl suddenly smiled and she said, âI did not expect you to be so old-fashioned, especially not after you agreed to marry someone whom you just met for the first time. I thought that you were a jerk!â
Christopher frowned and he said, âWhy did you agree to marry me if you thought that I was a jerk?â
âWhatâs wrong with that? Anyway, I didnât expect to get anything from you.â
âThen, arenât you afraid that Iâm trying to get something from you?â Christopher said deliberately. He then intentionally stole a glance at her chest. It was obvious that the girl was finally a little nervous.
She pulled the coat around her subconsciously but soon, there was a smile plastered across her face again.
âYouâre scaring me! I heard what you said at the door to the ward today. Obviously, you like the person on the other side of the phone, donât you? But, she doesnât like you, right?â
âYou took the initiative to break up with her and I could tell that you are a good guyâ¦â
Christopher saw the smug look on the girlâs face and it seemed as though she was mocking him.
Without warning, a trace of anger surged from his heart and he grabbed the girlâs arm and pinned her down on the big bed.
âTell me, what do you want?â
The girl was surprised by his sudden change of mood. The drunken him was completely different from the man who was heartbroken in the afternoon. She came back to her senses after noticing that he had tightened his grip around her shoulders.
âWellâ¦Â Iâm homeless right now because of some reason. However, you donât have to thank me for saving you. We donât owe each other anything. Naturally, Iâll leave immediately after dealing with my family affairs. By then, I can pay you as much as you want.â
Money?
Christopher laughed angrily. âDo you think I want your money? Tell me whatâs going on? Who the h*ll are you?â
As he said this, he tightened his grip and she felt as though her shoulders were going to break. A heartbroken man was indeed very frightening!
The girl took a deep breath and her expression immediately changed.
âOh, the truth is that my family had suffered a huge loss and my familyâs company is not doing well now. My father wants me to marry an old man to save the company but I ran away because I didnât want to get married to him.â
