Chapter 1


    B City.


    The man''s hand held hers tightly as they left the city hall marriage registration window.


    Ines Galeana looked at the marriage certificate with both their names on it. It felt unreal like she was


    dreaming.


    The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. "Mr. Meyer, have you ever been divorced?


    Or do you have any secret problems?"


    Women were really into him because of his looks.


    She couldn''t figure out why he was still unmarried in his 30s and why he fancied her. She was just


    an ordinary girl. It didn''t make any sense.


    Ethan paused for a second and smiled, "Isn''t it a bitte to ask that question now? You''re legally my


    wife. Are you already thinking about getting a divorce?"


    This was the first time in Ines’ life that she had done something so unbelievable. At this moment,


    she was tense all over, her mind in chaos, unable to think.


    She almost couldn''t catch her breath when she heard the man''s response.


    Impulse really is the devil. She must have lost her mind. She married a man she had known for less


    than a day!


    However, since she chose this path, she had to keep going.


    Ethan understood her worries andforted her, "Mrs. Meyer, don''t think about it too much. No


    need to make wild assumptions and worry. I won''t be abusive. I won’t have affairs or divorce you. As


    for the secret problems you mentioned, I can prove I have none."


    Ines''s face instantly turned red. This man really knew how to tease!


    Wait a minute.


    "What did you just call me?" She seemed to have heard "Mrs. Meyer."


    "Mrs. Meyer. Did I... get it wrong?" The man''s mouth slightly raised.


    Ines coughed lightly and turned her head silently. There was no mistake. She was indeed married


    and now had her husband''sst name.


    It was such a formal name. It sounded awkward, no matter how she said it. Calling her by her name


    seemed more direct.


    "Give me your phone."


    Ines knew what he wanted to do and handed him her phone. He quickly entered his phone number


    and then used her phone to call himself.


    "I have a business meeting tonight and will be busy for the next two or three days. Once I''m done,


    I''lle to pick you up and visit your family to discuss our rtionship."


    When it came to their rtionship, Ines was stressed and immediately got a headache. She really


    didn''t know how to exin it to her family. Who got married unexpectedly?


    They would definitely make a fuss.


    "I live with my aunt and uncle. They are my family. I don''t have any other rtives."


    Ethan didn''t ask any more questions. He just responded with, "Hmm."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Ines breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn''t know how to exin herplicated past.


    She initially wanted to go back on her own, fearing that her aunt and uncle would discover her


    marital status.


    Ethan insisted on taking her home. He stated a very legitimate reason, "Now that we''re married,


    how can I let you go home alone at night? What would people think of me as a husband?"


    Ines had no words to respond. She was unable to find a reason to deny his proposal.


    This man always hit the nail on the head with simple words. It left her speechless each time. Ines


    couldn''t help and wondered, would he control her in the future?


    The two drove all the way to an old neighborhood. Ethan couldn''t help but frown at the dark alley,


    "Do you walk on this street alone at night?"


    Ines gripped her purse slightly, "Not exactly. If I workte, my uncle or cousin picks me up and takes


    me home."
