Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Zoe was stunned, looked up and saw the handsome face of Henry.

With a slight start, she was about to sit up and wanted to leave.

However, the space in the carriage was quite limited, and the man was tall enough, when she straightened up from his lap, her head hit the roof of the car.

“Look out!”

Fortunately, Henry had a quick reaction and put his hand between her head and the roof of the car.

Zoe bumped into his hand. Henry held her on his lap and said seriously, “Don’t move. We’ll

be home soon.”

Zoe had no choice but to stay still and then she asked in confusion, “I fell asleep?”

“Yes. You’ve caught a cold. When you get home, ask Mrs. Dottie to prepare some ginger soup for you.”

Zoe frowned and raised her hand to her forehead.

Indeed, it seemed to be a little hot.

After the car arrived home, they got off. Archie ordered Mrs. Dottie to cook ginger soup and ordered her to go back to her room immediately for a hot bath.

The air conditioner was on in the room, and the hot bath could also help her feel better, so Zoe just did as she was told obediently.

But unexpectedly, he heard a scream from upstairs just immediately after she went up.

“AHHHH!!”

The expression on Henry’s face changed drastically and he hurried upstairs.

The bedroom door was open, and the bathroom door was shut tight, but the light was illuminating from the other side.

Henry frowned and knocked on the door.

“What’s the matter, Zoe?”

For a moment, from the inside came Zoe stuffy voice, “I’m OK! Leave me alone!”

The sound of her voice could not muffle the forbearance and pain in her tone.

Henry’s face became darker.

“Open the door!”

There was no more answer from the other side of the door.

Then there was the indistinct sound of rustling.

Still, with a cheerless expression, Henry decided not to wait. He found the key to the door and open it up.

At the moment the door opened, his pupil shrank.

He was riddled by both amusement and dejection.

Wrapped in a towel, Zoe had taken a fall. With her head still covered in bubbles, she lied next to the bathtub in a rather awkward position.

Seeing him, Zoe reached out the hand that was rubbing her leg to cover her embarrassed face.

Henry walked in.

“Mrs. Han, is it a bathing show?”

He crouched down beside her.

“Get out! Get out of here!”

Zoe was so embarrassed, and at that moment, she just wanted to dig a hole and hide. She didn’t even care about her face and wanted to push him away.

Henry took hold of her wrist and, seeing that one of her legs was lying in an eerie, straight position, he reached out and grabbed her ankle.

“Have leg cramp?”

Zoe did not want to admit it, but still she nodded.

She turned away in embarrassment, breaking away from his gaze.

Henry’s eyes darkened for a moment, and then he picked her up in his arms and put her on the vanity stand next to him.

Zoe hurriedly wrapped the bath towel on her body even tighter.

The man did nothing but take her by the ankle and rub it.

He had quite the technique, using just the right amount of pressure. Soon, the tension was released from her cramped leg.

“Better?”

He asked in a gentle voice.

Zoe nodded.

With the light turned on in the bathroom, the temperature got warmer and warmer. Henry found the woman who only wrapped herself in a bath towel biting her lips. Aggrievance, unwillingness and an awkward helplessness were all written on her face. For some reason even unknown to himself, he just felt his throat hot and dry.

He straightened up and put his hands at her sides.

“Mrs. Han, if you want to seduce me, can you try another time? I don’t want to do it with a patient.”

Zoe’s blushing face suddenly became crimson.

“Henry! When did I seduce you?”

Henry smiled.

“Don’t get excited. Your towel may just fall off.”

He said, and his gaze dwindled on her front on purpose.

Zoe immediately tightened her hands that had been grabbing the towel.

The cheer in Zoe’s eyes broadened, but he did not continue making fun of her, thinking that she was a patient after all. Finally he held her up in his arms and put her back to the bathtub before he turned to leave.

When Zoe came out of the bath, there was a bowl of ginger soup and a few cold pills on the table in the bedroom.

Henry sat down on the sofa and pointed at the soup and medicine. “Drink it all.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Zoe frowned.

She hated everything with such a pungent taste and smell all her life.

She sneaked a glimpse at the man on the sofa with the corner of her eyes. He did not raise his head but said lightly, “I don’t mind to feeding you personally.”

Zoe was stunned.

She picked it up, pinched her nose and drank it all.

After drinking the soup, she also took the medicine.

Henry was finally satisfied.

After sending the bowl downstairs, he came back, put her on the bed, and covered her up with the quilt.

“Sleep well and tomorrow you will be fine.”

Feeling out of it and without the energy to say anything more herself, Zoe fell asleep very quickly.

When she woke up the next day, she did get better.

Henry had already got up and was waiting for her in the dining room downstairs.

Zoe went downstairs and greeted Mrs. Dottie who was serving the breakfast, “Mrs. Dottie, thank you for the ginger soup last night, I feel much better today.”

Mrs. Dottie answered with a smile. “You are welcome.”

But Henry cast a cold glance at her.

He was the one who had asked Mrs. Dottie to prepare the ginger soup, why didn’t she thank him?

Zoe deliberately ignored the dissatisfaction in his eyes, walked to sit down opposite him.

Mrs. Dottie served her the breakfast. She thanked her with a smile and gave a provocative look at the man opposite her.

Henry was silent.

It seemed that this girl had been so sure that he just would not do anything to her and had been acting more and more wantonly these days, he thought.

He felt that it was necessary for him to do something to resurrect his position in the family!

After breakfast, the two went out together.

Today was her first day in Annie International. As they walked out, they saw Brian standing next to the car door.

She smiled and greeted Brian, “Good morning, Brian!”

“Good morning, Mrs. Han.”

Brian pulled open the door for her, smiling, “Please get in the car, Mrs. Han.”

She looked back at Henry and smiled. “No, I’ll drive myself.”

“Are you sure your car is at home?”

Henry’s voice came from behind her.

Zoe was stunned.

Then she remembered that she had parked the car in the parking lot in the Han Group last night, and she came back in Henry’s car. She didn’t drive the car back.

There were plenty of cars in the garage, but they weren’t hers.

She felt slightly embarrassed. Finally in Brian smiling eyes, she got into the car helplessly.

Annie International was next to the Han Group.

But when they were still far away from their destination, Zoe let Brian stop the car.

She opened the door and got out of the car. She patted her wrinkled trousers and smiled, “Thanks! Drop me here, and you can go!”

Henry took a look at her, but his face showed no emotion.

He just asked Brian to drive forward and went to the Han Group.

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief.

As a newcomer, she didn’t want others to know about her relationship with Henry to avoid people’s gossips.

She then walked all the way to the company. Because yesterday she had met her colleagues, although today was her first day to work, she didn’t have to do those procedures again.

At half past eight in the morning, she held a department meeting directly.
