The Wolf’s Bride by Coffee’s Tea novel Chapter 2

Andrius simply laughed it off.

He was under his master’s order to repay the debt by marrying the woman. He had no objection to Luna’s refusal to marry since she was the other party involved.

He, too, was forced to be here.

Luna added a slight compassion into her tone when she noticed Andrius's silence. “I know calling off the marriage is huge blow to you, but you have to know the difference between us. We shouldn’t even cross paths at first.

“If you can suggest canceling the marriage in front of my grandfather, I will pay you handsomely under the table so that you won’t have to worry about the rest of your life. You can marry whomever you want in the mountains and live like a king there. Just leave me alone.

“But…” Luna paused. Her delicate face showed a brazen hint of frostiness. Her tone turned cold as she continued, “If you decided to use my grandfather against me and force me to obey your will, I will ruin your life!”

Threats! Brazen threats in the face of the Wolf King!

Andrius was somewhat unhappy with her words. He, the Wolf King, had reigned for more than ten years now in the Western Frontline. Even the enemy’s generals were horrified when his name was mentioned.

Yet he was being threatened by a woman!

Fine! The woman’s grandfather was his master’s savior after all.

Andrius inhaled deeply and answered calmly, “Deal.”

Luna’s frosty expression eased when she heard Andrius's decisive answer. She praised the man in her heart for being self-aware.

She put on her sunglasses, picked up her expensive purse, and got up from her seat. “Let’s go see my grandfather now. Remember, you are going to be the one who rejects this arrangement.”

The two of them strode out of the cafe.

Luna’s presence turned heads as soon as she walked out. A goddess walking among mortals was a rare scene indeed.

As for Andrius, who wore a jersey and pants, he was ignored completely.

Outside the cafe, a fiery red Ferrari was parked.

Luna opened the door, further sealing her image as a goddess in front of the people.

“Get in,” Luna said before she got into the driver’s seat.

After Andrius got into the passenger’s seat, Luna reminded him once again, “Remember, you are going to tell my grandfather that you want to call off the arranged marriage. Don’t mess it up…”

Ring!

The sudden ringtone interrupted Luna.

She answered it immediately, but the conversation put an anxious look on her beautiful face.

“Okay. I’m coming back right away!”

Luna hung up the phone and stepped on the accelerator.

The sudden thrust pinned Andrius on the seat. He frowned and asked, “Ms. Crestfall, what happened?”

Luna remained silent.

The silent journey brought Andrius to the Crestfall Manor’s entrance.

Luna then said to him, “My grandfather’s condition relapsed. When you go in later, don’t utter a word.”

The two of them entered the manor. Through a crooked and long corridor, they arrived at a spacious room.

In the center of the room were three middle-aged men. They were the three sons of Belarus: Harry, George, and Dick.

The three of them surrounded a sandalwood bed, and on the bed was an elderly, twitching ceaselessly.

It was Belarus, the master of the house.

Beside Belarus was another white-haired elderly, looking professional and profound with the medical equipment by his side.

Luna went up to Harry nervously. “Dad, how’s Grandfather doing?”

Harry sighed. “Fortunately Dr. Artemis is here. He’s doing his best to keep your grandfather’s condition under control…”

Before he could finish, the man spotted Andrius behind Luna. He frowned and asked, “Luna, who is he?”

Luna glanced at Andrius and said scornfully, “Dad, he’s the man whom Grandfather mentioned.”

Since it was Dr. Artemis’s request, he simply allowed it. Otherwise, he would have kicked the impudent fool out himself.

Andrius was not interested in arguing with Harry. He leaned against the door frame and watched Dr. Artemis continue the acupuncture treatment.

Dr. Artemis picked up the needle once more, heated it with fire, and poked it into Master Crestfall’s crown.

“Oof…”

As the needle entered the head, Master Crestfall grunted softly and his body stopped twitching. The pale look on his face was soon replaced by a healthy one.

“Oh, my God!”

“Dr. Artemis is amazing!”

“Of course! We all know how Dr. Artemis is! Unlike someone who’s trying to make a fool of himself in front of the others.”

Dr. Artemis stroked his white beard indifferently as he was being showered by praises. He barely showed any reaction because he had grown numb of praises after saving countless lives throughout his career.

He then looked back at Andrius. “Kid, what else do you have to say for yourself?”

Andrius glanced at Dr. Artemis before he put his hand out with all five of his fingers fanned out. “This is how long Master Crestfall has left.”

“Five days?!”

Dr. Artemis was surprised. He roared, “You fool! You are simply trying to play to the gallery! I have cured Master Crestfall with my acupuncture method. Master Crestfall will recover completely with some extra medicine and rest. What gave you the courage to spew nonsense?”

Andrius ignored Dr. Artemis and started closing his fingers one by one.

“Five.

“Four.

“Three.

“Two.

“One.”
