Chapter 1 Flash Marriage

City A in March are still very cold.

Evelyn lay on the wooden bed with her daughter in her arms, with two hot water bottles under her feet, but she still felt cold.

Originally, you could plug in an electric blanket, but my sister-in-law thought it was too much electricity, so she sealed all the sockets in her room with cement.

The sound of brother and sister-in-law arguing came from next door again.

Unclear, but harsh.

"How can my sister-in-law be pregnant and my sister-in-law still live in her parents' home with the child? No matter what kind of person Young Master Ferguson is , he doesn't mind your sister having a bastard. He is willing to pay a betrothal gift of 500,000 dollar. Then we can move to a bigger house!"

Young Master Ferguson tomorrow to get the date of the engagement..."

Evelyn fished out the earplugs from under the pillow and put them in her daughter's ears.

Looking at my daughter's peaceful sleeping face in the moonlight, my heart ached.

Freddie Ferguson is a womanizer and a filthy person with no moral bottom line. She would never let her daughter marry a scumbag.

Evelyn pulled out her cell phone and contacted the man she had saved five years ago.

His name is Liam .

He is a soldier.

After a brief text message conversation, I learned that Liam was single, so I asked him out of curiosity.

"Can you get married with me? Just to repay you for saving my life."

What Evelyn didn't expect was that Liam actually agreed.

He was grateful and Evelyn didn't want to lie, "I have a daughter, she's four years old."

She was worried that Liam would be like those blind dates and dislike her taking care of their daughter, so she hurried to explain.

"I won't pester you, and I don't need you to help me raise my daughter! We, mother and daughter, won't cause any trouble to your life."

"I've been in some trouble lately and need married status! Once things are resolved, I will divorce you and make sure I don't ruin your happiness for the rest of your life."

After waiting anxiously for a long time, Liam finally replied and they made an appointment to meet at the marriage registration office at 9:30 tomorrow morning .

The next day.

Evelyn helped her mother to set up the shelves in the supermarket downstairs, had breakfast, carried her little pink schoolbag, and rode her little pink electric scooter to take her daughter to kindergarten.

When they arrived at the school gate, Lily asked Evelyn in a low voice .

"Mom, what is a bastard? Why do my aunt and the kids in kindergarten say that about Lily ?"

It turned out that my daughter heard everything last night, but she pretended to be asleep the whole time.

She is only four years old, but she is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Evelyn held her daughter's pink face in her hands and said softly, "Who said our Lily is a bastard! Our Lily has a father, but he died before Lily was born!"

" Lily , don't care what others say. We just need to live our own lives happily."

Lily was still unhappy, hanging her head. "After mom gets married, will the new uncle hate Lily ? Will he think that Lily is not well behaved enough?"

"How could that be? Mommy's little princess is the most well-behaved and lovable!"

Evelyn hugged her daughter, held back the tears in her eyes, and swore in her heart that she would never let this happen!

Her daughter is her life and everything to her. No one can despise her, not even a glance!

Evelyn arrived at the marriage registration office and sent Liam her location.

After a while, the roar of propellers was heard from the sky.

Three helicopters roared in and circled low over the marriage registration office .

Everyone looked up and saw that the leader was a military fighter jet. Its super-technical and cool appearance made people tremble with fear, as if a bomb would be dropped at any time.

Everyone was talking about it. Are we going to have a war?

People were in panic for a while.

However, the three planes circled and flew away into the distance.

Evelyn was in no mood to pay attention to anything else. She waited for nearly an hour, called Liam but he didn't answer, and sent him a text message but he didn't get a reply.

Did he regret it?

Evelyn was disappointed and deleted Liam 's number. Just as she was about to leave, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of the marriage registration office.

The car door opened and a man got out.

He was wearing a neat black suit and a pair of oversized sunglasses, and his temperament was reserved and cool.

After not seeing him for five years, Evelyn didn't dare to recognize him until he walked towards her with his long legs. Then she was sure.

" Mr Reed , you're here!" Evelyn greeted with a smile.

Liam had a cold attitude, and his deep eyes behind his sunglasses glanced at Evelyn nonchalantly .

Evelyn wore a white shirt today, a light brown windbreaker, jeans, and white sneakers.

Clean, refreshing, and full of vitality, she has shed the immaturity of five years ago and is becoming more and more bright and attractive!

Seeing that Liam was so distant, Evelyn stopped talking and was about to walk into the marriage registration office when the taxi driver behind her called out.

It turned out that Liam didn't pay for the ride.

He seemed to react just now, touched his trouser pocket and said to Evelyn .

"I don't have any cash."

His wallet had been with his personal assistant. He didn't want to attract attention in an occasion like today, so he didn't let his assistant follow him. He got off the helicopter and took a taxi directly here.

Evelyn scans the QR code to pay.

Liam said, "I'll give it back to you."

"I asked you to come and get the marriage certificate, and I should reimburse the car fare." Evelyn felt that Liam must be having a hard time now, and he said he would reimburse her just to save his man's face.

However, if they can make some things clear between them, there will be fewer personal connections involved.

So when Liam took out a prenuptial agreement, Evelyn signed it without even looking at it.

Liam was surprised.

Evelyn threatened Reed by saving his life, wasn't it because she was eyeing Reed Family's huge business?

What he hated most in his life was women who approached him with ulterior motives.

If it wasn't for the gold watch he lost five years ago, he would just give Evelyn a large sum of money and ask her to stop bothering him.

"Our marriage won't last long, and I'm just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble. During the marriage, I will fulfill all my responsibilities as a husband. After the divorce, I won't give you less than what I owe you."

Evelyn could see that Liam was very reluctant.

If she had no other choice, she would not want to force anyone.

"Although I saved you, we haven't been in touch for five years. We are no different from strangers! If I were you, I would be on guard too if you suddenly called me to get the marriage certificate."

"You helped me a lot by marrying me. I can't thank you enough. Being a soldier is not easy. You have to be the first to defend your country. I won't be greedy for your property, right?"

Liam looked at Evelyn meaningfully . He was familiar with the tactic of retreating to advance in the business world!

the marriage registration office together after getting the certificate .

"What difficulties did you encounter?" Liam asked.

Considering that Evelyn has done him a favor, he can't be too harsh on her.

As long as Evelyn asked, he could give her a large sum of money right now.

Evelyn didn't want to tell outsiders about the bad things happening at home.

Her brother has a disability in his legs and feet. He finally got married and had children. She doesn't want to become the cause of the discord between him and his wife.

If you want to move out of your home legitimately and get rid of that bastard Freddie , getting married is the best way.

"Nothing, I just want to get married!" Evelyn said.

Liam felt that Evelyn was hypocritical and his tone became less patient.

"Then how long should our marriage last? Half a year, a year, or longer?"

Evelyn thought about it seriously, "One month is enough!"

"A month?" Liam sneered inwardly.

Did Evelyn think that she could win him over in just one month and make him reluctant to divorce?

Evelyn took out a card from her bag, which contained her rent for the second half of the year.

"Here are eight thousand dollars. It's not much, but it's a token of my love."

Liam frowned, not understanding why Evelyn gave him money?

"The password is the last six digits of the card number." Evelyn pressed the bank card into Liam's hand. "I'm sorry to have kept you here for so long today. You must be very busy! Let's meet here at the same time in a month."

Liam 's brows furrowed even tighter!

Is his new wife going to dump him?
