Chapter 1

“Pretty boy, wanna get married? I’m proposing to you!”

William Sandler turned around to see an unkept girl covered in blood. He frowned slightly. “Are you talking to me?”

Plenty of women had tried to get married to him, but this was the first time a woman was employing such a tactic...

He discreetly took a look at the girl from head to toe. When he noticed her knees that were bleeding, his gaze sunk and a flash of darkness swept past his black eyes.

Cecelia Shayne who seemed nervous immediately nodded. “Yes. If you’re willing to, we can get married right away.”

To be honest, Cecelia did not have much hope in her heart. Even if the stranger in front of her had just been dumped by his girlfriend a moment ago, it was unlikely he would agree with her.

“Ok!”

“... What did you say?” Cecelia thought that she had misheard him.

William grabbed her hand and walked forward with large strides. ‘You’re the one that proposed to me.”

Looking at the marriage certificate in her hands, Cecelia was dumbfounded as she blinked her eyes.

‘I’m going to get married already?

‘Just because I was betrayed by my ex-boyfriend of three years, I ended up randomly pulling a stranger from the streets. And now I’m going to get married?’

When the marriage certificate was snatched from her hands by one that was larger, she was brought back to the present and realized that it was truly happening.

She had spent 9 bucks, and she was going to become a married woman.

However, she noticed the man frowning at the marriage certificate and could not stop herself from pouting. “Pretty boy, are... are you regretting your decision?”

If he regretted it, was she going to get a divorce right away?

William raised his eyes and glanced at her. Just as he had done moments ago, he grabbed her hands and strode off.

Cecelia noticed that he had placed both certs into his pocket, and she wanted to ask for one of them from him. The words reached the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

Other than his name which was William Sandler, and the fact that he was 28 years old, she had no knowledge or understanding of this man. Additionally, she only knew those things because she had caught a glimpse of one of the marriage certificates.

‘Wait a minute, there’s one more thing I know. He seems to be a man of few words.’

She was pulled along by William to the exit. Like how they had arrived, he hailed a cab.

Cecelia was shoved into the cab, and when she saw that he intended to get in as well, she quickly waved her hand. “Pretty boy, you don’t have to escort me, I can go...”

Before she could complete her sentence, she was carried by William and shuffled further into the cab before the latter entered the vehicle himself and closed the door. He asked her, “Address?”

Cecelia was flabbergasted for a moment before she told him her address.

Throughout the journey, William did not say another word, and Cecelia kept silent as well.

Firstly, she did not know what to say. Secondly...

It was a reason that would make her look like a fool; she felt rather intoxicated by his handsome looks.

She stole another peek at him.

He was the most handsome man she had ever seen throughout her life.

His bold eyebrows, fan-like eyelashes, deep and dark eyes, lovely lips...

“Are you pleased with what you see?”

The man who had been looking straight suddenly turned to look at her. Cecelia had been caught red-handed, and her cheeks flushed red.

Like an errant child, she lowered her head and played with her fingers.

Cecelia could feel that the man’s gaze was still upon her. She unknowingly swallowed her saliva, feeling even more uneasy than before.

Fortunately, he said nothing more and they arrived at their destination shortly after.

Having exited the car, Cecelia spoke once again, “Pretty boy, we’ve arrived. Thanks for sending me home. Have a safe trip back.”
