After Benjamin and the others left home, Chloe packed her belongings and brought it and her identity card to the agreed location. When Joseph saw the luggage in her hand, he asked, “Are you moving?”
Chloe did not answer his question and instead said, “I can marry you but I need a temporary place to stay.”
“And?”
“That’s all.”
Joseph clenched his hands and his voice turned cold. “Don’t expect me to give you anything beyond money.”
He could not ignore the fact that women always viewed marriage as something sacred and beautiful. This woman must want other benefits in exchange for it. He did not believe that she did not want anything at all.
As if she could read his mind, Chloe offered him a sweet smile and teased, “Mr. Joseph, nothing in this world is absolute. What if you accidentally fall in love with me first?”
Just because she ran into a scumbag did not mean no one was interested in her. She was popular among the boys and had many suitors since childhood.
Joseph narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the woman before him. Her skin was fair and it seemed to glow under the sunlight.
“Being confident is good.” He scoffed.
Twenty minutes later, Chloe silently stared at the certificate in her hands. Before yesterday, she never imagined that she would marry a man she had known for less than a day. It was truly unbelievable.
Joseph said to Chloe while barely looking at her, “If you need anything, just call the number on my card.”
“Okay,” Chloe replied, feeling a little embarrassed. “Um, where am I going to stay?”
“The driver will take you there.”
