Chapter 280


    ra''s mind halted abruptly. Surprise shimmered in her dewy eyes as she gazed at the stunning


    man before her. "What are you talking about?"


    "Of course, the marriage certificate. You promised mest night, and you can''t back out now." Ian


    nipped her lip in a yful act of revenge, a mischievous smile curling at the edge of his mouth.


    ra''s awareness gradually returned to her. Indeed, there had been such a momentst night, in


    the midst of her crazed state, when Ian had suddenly paused, then whispered seductively in her


    ear. "Sweetheart, let''s go get a marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?"


    She wanted to refuse, to cling to thest shred of her sanity, but his caresses were so tantalizing


    that she couldn''t help but murmur a breathless ''yes.''


    Recalling this, ra glowered at Ian. "You''re a con artist in both love and marriage—I should sue


    you."


    Ian chuckled lowly, "How do you n to sue me, Attorney ra? I didn''t force you, and I didn''t drug


    you. You were the one begging me, remember? I have evidence."


    He pulled out his phone and yed a video. The video content was indeed from thatpromising


    scenest night.


    ra''s face flushed crimson. She reached out to snatch the phone to delete the video, but Ian


    evaded her. He pulled her into his arms and captured her lips with his own. The kiss was sultry,


    leaving ra with reddened eyes.


    Ian slowly released her, his fingertips gently tracing her reddened lips as he murmured, "Honey, I''ve


    already posted it on my social circle. Everyone''s waiting to see our marriage certificate. You


    wouldn''t want to let your husband-to-be down, would you?"


    ra paused, taken aback. How eager was this man to show off? The certificate wasn''t even


    issued, and he was already celebrating on social media.


    Deep down, she felt an indescribable sweetness. She was about to respond when her phone


    suddenly rang.


    Seeing it was her father calling, she quickly answered. "Dad, what''s going on?"


    Casey''s voice came through with urgency, "ra, your Grandpa Reed took a fall this morning and


    broke his thigh. All the highways are closed, I can''t get him to the hospital, and the ambnce can''t


    reach him either. Do you remember that ssmate of yours who lives near Reed''s vige? She''s a


    doctor, and I was hoping you could get her to check on him."


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Grandpa Reed lived in the countryside, was over eighty years old, and lived alone. ra had spent


    most of her childhood summers and holidays there.


    Hearing of his ident, ra''s expression turned anxious. "Dad, don''t worry, I''ll reach out to her


    right now."


    After hanging up, her eyes brimming with tears, she turned to Ian. "I don''t think we can do this


    today. Grandpa Reed has broken his leg. I need to find him a doctor."


    As she started to search for her ssmate''s number in her contacts, Ian took the phone from her.


    He kissed her forehead tenderly, chiding, "You have your man right here, and you don''t think to turn


    to me in a crisis?"


    Ian soothed her by stroking her hair. "Don''t worry, I''ll send the hospital''s helicopter right away with


    doctors on board."


    "But Reed''s ce is in the countryside, and they probably don''t have a helipad."


    "There''s plenty of open space in the countryside tond a chopper."


    Half an hourter, Ian, ra, and Casey boarded the helicopter. Upon seeing Casey, Ian spoke up


    before ra could. "Don''t worry, we''ll have the doctor check on him. If it''s serious, we''ll bring him


    back to the hospital for treatment."


    Casey nodded appreciatively. There was a slight dy before he saw something on ra’s finger.


    "What''s that on your finger, ra?"
