Summary
Natalia Nelson, obsessed with making money, was at her wit's end from her parents' constant nagging about marriage. To focus on her career, she decided to marry her blind date—a construction worker with nothing to his name and two kids in tow. No problem, she thought. After all, she just wanted a marriage of convenience and didn’t mind being a stepmom. But after the wedding, her orchard flourished, her business skyrocketed, and her bank account overflowed. She thought her husband must be her lucky charm—until his childhood sweetheart showed up with a check for ten million dollars. “Leave him. Name your price.” Natalia was stunned. Her husband wasn’t a construction worker after all—he was the heir to the Martinez Group, the wealthiest family in City A, worth billions! Accidentally marrying into a wealthy family, Natalia was speechless. “So... can we get divorced?” Willow Martinez pulled her into his arms. “Run away, and you can kiss your luxury orchard goodbye.”
Chapter 1 Do you dare to get married quickly?
The early summer in City A is extremely hot.
But at around eight in the morning, the sun became scorching.
Natalia took the bus to the bus stop near A City Hotel, got off, then took out her cell phone and called her mother.
"Mom, I'm near the A City Hotel. I'll be there soon. Can you tell me again what my blind date looks like?"
Natalia's Mother said on the phone, "You don't have his photo with you?"
"I forgot to bring it."
"He always forgets things. Even if I tell you what he looks like, you may not be able to imagine what he looks like. Anyway, you go into the hotel and look for him in the cafe on the first floor. He works at a construction site nearby. Whoever you see wearing a worker 's uniform and a safety helmet is your blind date."
Natalia pushed her glasses up on her nose and said "oh".
" Natalia , I'm telling you, you can't be so picky anymore. You're already 27 years old. If you don't get married, you'll become an old aunt. Don't stay in your orchard all day and disappear without seeing anyone."
"Mom, I know, I... Oops!"
Before Natalia could finish her words, she was knocked down by someone, and the conversation between mother and daughter ended.
"Girl, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry that I didn't see you."
who knocked Natalia down was a woman in her sixties. She helped Natalia up and apologized to her repeatedly .
Natalia was fine, but the fall caused her glasses to fall to the ground and the lenses broke.
She is severely myopic and without glasses, everything she sees is blurry. She couldn't even recognize her own mother when she walked past her.
"Auntie, I'm fine."
Natalia didn't want to get entangled with the aunt, so she hurriedly said that she was fine. After the aunt asked again and again, she said that she was fine, and then the aunt left.
She bent down to pick up the broken glasses. Since they could no longer be repaired, she folded the frames and stuffed them into her trouser pocket.
Finding that her mother had not hung up the phone yet, she gave her mother a brief account of what had happened, then hung up the phone and hurried into the A City Hotel.
Without her glasses, her vision was blurred, and Natalia had to get very close to see clearly when looking for a coffee shop.
There were quite a lot of people in the hotel's cafe. Natalia walked into the cafe, looked around, and saw a man sitting in the corner. The man was wearing clothes similar to those of the workers moving bricks on the construction site, and he also had a safety helmet on his head.
Natalia saw him, he had just taken off the helmet on his head.
This must be her blind date today.
Natalia walked over.
Willow noticed a strange girl approaching him and asked him politely, "Excuse me, are you Willow ?"
Who is she?
Willow was confused, but still hummed softly.
"Hello, I'm Natalia Nelson , your blind date today."
After getting the reply, Natalia sat down opposite Willow and introduced herself.
Her eyesight is not good now. Even if she sits face to face with Willow , her appearance is still blurry. At least as long as all the facial features are present, it's fine.
Willow raised his eyebrows, his eyes became deep and cold, staring at Natalia sharply , but seeing that Natalia was calm and her eyes were clear, unlike those women who approached him deliberately, he restrained his sharpness and coldness.
" Mr. Martinez , has the matchmaker told you about my situation? I'm 27 years old. I've been in a relationship before, but it ended without any result. I've been single for seven or eight years. I have my own business and I own several orchards, where I grow lychees, longans, mangoes, papayas, grapes, oranges, and watermelons."
"I'm usually very busy with work and don't have time for a relationship. I want to cut the Gordian knot. If the blind date is a hit, I'll get the marriage certificate so that my parents don't keep urging me to get married. It's making my scalp numb."
"Oh, by the way, I am one of three siblings. My elder sister is married, and my younger brother has also started a family."
She is the only one who is still single, so her elderly parents push her very hard.
Natalia was still thinking about buying a truckload of fertilizer to bring back later, and didn't want to waste too much time on the blind date, so as soon as she sat down, she said everything she wanted to say and explained her situation clearly.
Willow looked at Natalia with great interest . Natalia was not as bright and noble as the daughters of famous families he had seen before. She was very good,looking. She was not stunning at first glance, but the more he looked at her, the prettier she became. She was quick,witted and frank with nothing to hide, which gave him a good first impression of her.
The other girls introduced themselves, and Willow also introduced herself.
" Miss Nelson , I have many brothers in my family. I am the oldest. I am 31 years old and unmarried. However, I have two children who belong to an old friend of mine. He died in an accident and his wife disappeared, leaving two children with no one to take care of them. So I adopted them and treat them as my own children."
??How old are they this year???
Natalia felt that Willow 's information was different from what the matchmaker said. She was older and had two children to raise. Although they were not her biological children, she would be a stepmother if she married him.
Sure enough, the matchmaker can turn black into white and deceive people to death without any remorse.
"They are four years old and will be in the senior kindergarten class in September. They are twins, a boy and a girl."
Natalia felt relieved when she heard this. As long as the child could be sent to kindergarten, the adults would feel much more relaxed.
"Do you have any pictures of them? I'd like to see them."
Natalia thinks that Willow is an honest and kind person because she is willing to adopt the children of her deceased friend and is not afraid of affecting her marriage. The fact that an unmarried man can take good care of two children also shows that he has a good temper and is very tolerant.
This is the kind of man she is looking for.
I had already made up my mind and wanted to see my two children.
Willow took out her cell phone, opened the photo album, found the photos of the two children, and showed them to Natalia .
The two children are very beautiful and cute, just like the two lucky dolls in New Year pictures.
Natalia's eyesight is not good now, she can still see the appearance of the two children clearly by holding the phone closer. She fell in love with the two cute kids at first sight.
After looking at the photo of the child, Natalia handed the phone back to Willow and asked bluntly, " Mr. Martinez , I have a good impression of you. If you think you have a good impression of me, do you dare to get married quickly? If you dare, shall we go and complete the formalities now?"
It's just getting married, so she can just get married so her parents don't have to keep urging her.
A flash marriage requires courage.
Natalia lacks the least is courage.
She is a girl, but she dared to borrow millions and borrow money from all her relatives and friends. She contracted several orchards and did what she loved most. Many men do not have such courage.
What's there to be afraid of in a flash marriage?
As long as she doesn't have to be nagged or urged to get married by her parents, she can focus on her career.
As for a husband, as long as he is a man, he just needs to be honest.
Mr. Martinez works on a construction site. The person who introduced him said that he is a very honest man. He mainly works on the construction site and cannot go home for a long time. That way she doesn't have to serve her husband, which is great!
