Marrying My Ex

"Marry me."Noah's words instantly petrified Grace. Grace's tears welled up. She didn't expect Noah to ask something that an engaged man shouldn't ask.Grace's mother was very sick at the moment, so Grace needed a lot of money for her mother's surgery, and Noah was her last option. However, Noah's condition was not to be ignored.What is this? How could an engaged man ask her to marry him when Noah knew very well that it was forbidden to have a relationship between them? Not forbidden because of religion, but forbidden because of threats and curses from their parents, who forbade them from having a romantic relationship."Noah, my mom is very sick. How can you ask me to marry you?" asked Grace with tears in her eyes.Noah laughed and got up from his chair. He approached Grace and put part of his buttocks on the corner of the table."That's your business, Grace. I'm only giving you two options. First, you marry me and get the money. Second, you refuse my request and watch your mother d

"Hmm, alright. I'm going back to the hospital. Thank you, Doctor." Grace answered and ended the call, but her gaze was fixed on Noah, who didn't stop smiling."The hospital bill has been paid. That's what you did, right?"Noah only raised his eyebrows and shoulders when asked like that by Grace."Noah, answer me. You paid for my mom's hospital bills, right?" Grace asked again."Tsk. Call me 'honey, babe, or darling'. I'm already your husband," Noah grumbled instead of answering."Is it that important to talk about calling you like that right now? I'm serious, Noah. Please don't joke around!" Grace complained, "Are you still the same man who just moments ago threatened me with a cold face?""Yes, it's still me, and I need to hear you call me affectionately. And that's your first obligation because I have every right to ask you to call me that," Noah said casually.Grace hissed and tapped her forehead. She was always helpless against Noah's silliness when he teased her.Grace started to

'Noah Blair? I think I've heard that name before. It can't be Noah Blair, the sole heir of Cruise International, Zara Jones' fiancé, right?' Jonathan was still trying to remember the name of the man in front of him."Noah, you don't have to say anything to him. Just get out of here." Grace didn't want Noah to reveal their relationship to Jonathan unnecessarily."Come on, so the reason you're rejecting me is because you already have another guy paying off your mom's hospital bills, right? Ok, I get it," he said with a mocking smile."You're a doctor here, right? I'll make sure you receive your termination letter from this hospital if you don't watch your tongue. So now you just remember my name and stay away from my women!" Noah spoke firmly and immediately drew a clear line for Doctor Jonathan."Okay, clear enough for me," Doctor Jonathan answered Noah directly before turning to Grace. "Grace, thank you for everything. I'm sure I'll repay you someday." He said it irritably and left wi

Noah left his mother in anger. He went down the stairs and then passed Zara, saying, "You're coming with me." He said it coldly.Zara was both excited and anxious, but she nodded and followed Noah out of his parent's house.Noah opened the car door and said, "Come in, we'll talk inside.""Hmm, okay," Zara replied without forgetting to smile gracefully.Noah started driving his car quietly and without looking at Zara for even a second. The atmosphere was awkward, and Zara didn't know where to start."Why are you here? Don't you still have to be in London?" Noah began to ask."Hmm, I'm attending a meeting to discuss a fashion show collaboration I'm doing with a fellow designer. So I stopped by your parents' house first because I missed Uncle and Auntie," Zara answered very carefully. Noah's aura was so cold at the moment."I know what you guys are talking about isn't as simple as you say. Admit it, my mom discussed remarriage plans with you, right?" Noah's tone was colder this time."No

Noah, who saw Grace's gloomy silence, gently tugged on Grace's chin to make them look at each other again."What are you thinking about again? Is something still missing this time?" Noah asked softly while caressing his wife's cheek.Grace shook her head softly and said, "Nothing. Everything is enough for me. It's just...""It's just what?" Noah asked again."It's just that I'm still afraid of my mom and your parents if they find out we're married. It's like a time bomb ready to explode at any moment," Grace said glumly."Even if it does go off, you won't get hurt because I'll protect you. Can't you still trust me?" Noah reaffirmed the protection of his love for Grace until Grace burst into tears.Noah kissed the tears streaming down his wife's beautiful face. He replaced the tears of sadness with the warmth of his lips."Fight your fear. Where is the Grace I know who dares to face anything, anyone? Why do you have to break down and sadden yourself just because of what outsiders say a
