Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Zoe’s sarcastic remarks didn’t force Steven back.

Steven said sternly, “Well, since you are here, I have something to ask you. Where the hell did you go last night? Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

Zoe’s eyes twitched slightly.

Last night, Steven did call her a few times, but she was with Henry, and didn’t hear it at all.

Zoe did check the missed calls this morning, but she just didn’t bother to call him back.

After all, considering their current relationship, it was no longer appropriate for her

to show her concern or scolded him.

Thinking about it, she grabbed her hair and replied lazily. “Steven, do you think you mean a lot to me?”

Steven was stunned, “What?”

“Then why should I have to answer your calls?”

Steven was dumbfounded for a second. After realizing what Zoe meant, he burst into a rage.

“Zoe, you are so ungrateful! I’m concerned about you!”

“Oh? Does Annie know that you care so much about me?”

The ends of her eyes rose and she looked at him with a smirk.

Steven’s face changed slightly as he was angry and furious, but he was unable to utter a word.

Just then, a clear, sweet voice came from the villa entrance.

“Steven!”

As soon as Steven turned around, he saw Annie running out in a lavender long-sleeved dress.

Seeing her, Steven’s face softened a little and he strode towards her.

“Why do you get out? You are wearing thin. It’s windy outside.”

“I’m fine. I am not cold.” Annie looked up at Steven with a smile, and then her gaze fell on Zoe.

Annie took a lurch forward, followed by a sweet smile and hurried towards Zoe.

“My dear sister, you are still here. Didn’t you come here in your car? Do you want me to call the driver to send you home?”

Zoe looked at the tenderness and kindness on her face, and mockingly curled the corner of her lips, “Don’t bother, I can take a taxi myself.”

Annie paused for a moment and said with a smile. “Sister, don’t try to be brave anymore! It’s not easy to get a taxi here, and it’s too late. It’s not safe for you to go back alone. Let me call a driver to send you home!”

Annie said, beckoning a servant to come closer. “Ask the driver to come here and take my sister back.”

The servant nodded and turned around to call someone.

Zoe suddenly felt disgusted when she saw Annie acting like she was already the Mrs. Gil.

Five years ago, she was just a young girl from

the countryside. At that time, there was no place for her and her mother in the family. However, in just a few years, the situation had changed drastically.

Zoe sneered in her heart and naturally did not show any good expression on her face. She said coldly, “Annie, don’t you understand what I am talking about? When did I agree to let the driver take me home?”

Annie was stupefied. She shrank back as if she was frightened by her sister’s harsh words.

“Sister, don’t be angry. I just care about you.”

“Care about me?”

Zoe sneered, and stepped forward in a casual pace.

”Someone who worked with my Grandma to force me seconds ago is now coming to tell me she cares about me? Annie, after wearing the mask of hypocrisy for so long, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to take it off?”

Annie’s face turned slightly pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Sister, I’m just worried about you, how could you say that…”

Annie’s trembling body looked pathetically thin and fragile. Steven couldn’t help but stride forward and embrace her into his arms.

Turning his head around, Steven glared at Zoe viciously.

“Zoe, Can you stop talking like this and stop hurting her with mean words? You are just like a hedgehog that keeps everyone who tries to get close to you away!”

“Annie is just being kind. If you don’t like her arrangement, just refuse her. Why do you say something like that to hurt her?”

Zoe paused as she watched him defending Annie.

Then she curled the corner of her lips, and her heart was immersed with coldness.

In fact, during the past six years, Steven was not bad to her. He was quite gentle and considerate to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen in love with him for six years.

But she didn’t understand why he didn’t break up with her earlier since he liked Annie so much.

She was not a person who could not accept a relationship failure.

If he proposed to end their relationship first, and fell in love with Annie later, she would not complain, even though she was upset.

But he didn’t.

He waited until his cheating was caught on the scene, and everyone involved were caught embarrassed!

Zoe inclined her head and said in a cold voice.

“Get the hell out of here if you don’t want to get hurt. I’ve warned you to stop displaying affection in front of me. Don’t you know the saying that the couple who was always flirting in the public would break up sooner?”

“You!” Steven was furious, but Annie hurriedly stopped him, ”Steven, forget it! My sister is in a bad mood. Let’s not argue with her…”

Steven stretched out his hand, pointing his finger at Zoe with hatred in his eyes.

In the end, he shook his hand heavily.

“Okay! I don’t want to argue with you. With such a cold and harsh personality like yours, you will never find a boyfriend! Don’t regret when it happens! Annie, let’s go!”

He said angrily, panting, and pulled Annie into the villa.

Standing alone in the cold breeze of the night, Zoe shivered for no reason.

No one wanted to be with me?

Suddenly, she felt a dull pain in her heart, and her eyes were sore.

However, she tilted her head and blinked her eyes hard to suppress the sourness.

Then she laughed at herself.

“What are you crying for? I have heard more mean words before. A filthy mouth can’t utter decent language. Are you really going to fight with a bitch?”

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

BEEP! BEEP!

Somewhere ahead a car horned.

Two clear whistles sounded from the front.

Zoe looked up. In the dark night, a black Rolls Royce came towards where she was standing.

The bright headlights were shining bright, causing her to raise her hands and narrow her eyes. Soon the car passed her and stopped in front of her.

“Miss Zoe Gil! We meet again!”

The man who got off the car was Jack, Henry’s assistant. Of course Zoe knew him. After all, she saw him earlier in the morning.

Zoe forced a smile, embarrassed, “Why are you here?”

“Mr. Han just finished a dinner party and happened to pass by. It looked like you are standing on the roadside, so he ordered me to stop.”

Saying that, Jack opened the car door for her with a smile, his back bent respectfully, “Miss Zoe, please.”

Zoe hesitated.

She looked up at the man sitting in the car. He sat there quietly, his elbow resting on the window and his eyes looking out of the window. Zoe didn’t know what he was looking at, his entire body looked rather lazy.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Henry’s handsome side face could be clearly seen even under the cover of the night, only the cold aura emitted from his body made her feel that this man was still alienated and indifferent.

She paused for a few seconds and eventually got into the car.

As soon as she got into the car, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

Zoe was slightly stunned and blurted out subconsciously, “Are you drunk?”
