The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley) novel Chapter 3
“If Mr. Dean asks you to remove the mask from his face later, don’t be afraid.” Daphne cautioned.
Just as Daphne finished speaking, a voice as cold as ice came from behind her. “Daphne, I’ve already told you many times that I don’t need a woman.”
Daphne hesitated in her response. “Mr. Dean, this is the bride chosen for you by Old Mr. Dean. He said this is the last time, and if you still don’t like her, he won’t send anyone else in the future.”
“He has already said that nine times.”
Although Finley’s face remained cold, he didn’t let Daphne send Samantha away. “You can leave first.”
“Yes, Mr. Dean.”
Daphne thoughtfully closed the door for Finley and Samantha. Finley moved closer to Samantha in his wheelchair and looked at her dressed in a white wedding gown with a white veil on her head. He didn’t know what to say about his grandfather.
Only his grandfather could arrange such a wedding for the older generation.
This was already his ninth bride, and without thinking, he knew that this woman was no different from the previous eight brides who had fainted because of him.
He had no expectations as he lifted the white veil on Samantha’s head. What he saw was a woman with a smile on her face, and her smile made Finley pause for a moment.
After marrying eight brides, she was the first woman to smile at him.
Finley threw the white veil he held aside. “After tomorrow, you can leave.”
In his past life, Finley said the same words after lifting her white veil. But at that time, she was still a fool who didn’t understand the meaning of marriage, nor did she understand beauty and ugliness.
Back then, she didn’t want to leave, so Finley asked her to remove the mask from his face in hopes to scare her away. However, when she saw his extensively burned face, she asked him if it hurt and innocently blew on his wounds. At that moment, he realized that she was a fool.
Perhaps it was because of her foolishness that he didn’t send her away like he did with the previous eight women.
He left her behind and completely treated her like a child, providing her with delicious food and fun activities and fulfilling her every desire. It was the happiest time of her past life.
It was also the happiest time for Finley.
Unfortunately, everything changed when she regained her intelligence.
Upon thinking of this, Samantha threw herself into Finley’s arms before holding him tightly. “I won’t leave. No matter how you hit me or scold me, I won’t leave. I want to stay by your side and be with you.”
Finley was at a loss for words.
“I am disabled.”
“I don’t care.”
Finley furrowed his brows. “I don’t love you.”
“As long as you let me stay, I will make you love me one day.”
Samantha looked up and gazed deeply into Finley’s eyes. His eyes revealed a murky and uncertain expression. “How much money did my grandfather give you?”
If this woman didn’t receive money, she wouldn’t have such an attitude toward him.
Samantha replied earnestly, “I willingly married you. I didn’t ask your grandfather for any money.”
“Do you think I’ll believe that?”
The previous eight women who married him were all from ordinary families. Overnight, eight companies appeared in Edrana. He didn’t believe that this woman didn’t accept money from his grandfather.
