All Chapters of Married To a Stranger : Chapter 61 - Chapter 68

Owen's suggestion hung in the air. It took Ruby a few moments to snap out of her reading streak. She glanced out the window, and it really did look like a beautiful day. Maybe I need a break too, she thought to herself. She looked at Owen and nodded. Kitty stood up and wagged his tail as though he was asking to take him along with her. All right. I think you deserve a break too, she remarked, and went on to help Matilda get ready. "Are you coming along as well?" Matilda asked, looking at Owen. Owen wasn't sure. His immediate gaze fell upon Ruby, but before he could react, Matilda chimed in. Let me make it easier for you. You are coming. End of discussion. Soon enough, they made their way to the hospital garden. Ruby found a bench and helped Matilda get settled. Then she stared out at the distant lake, her mind replaying the neurology concepts she'd just been reading. Owen's voice suddenly cut through her thoughts. Do you spend a lot of your time online? Ruby looked over at him, dresse

Sheila looked at Carter for support. But she got nothing from him. He just looked sideways, pretending he had nothing to do with it. She then looked for Isabel, but she had nothing to offer either. "Ma'am. Let me ask you again," the HR Director began, "how did you know it was the files related to the hydrogen fuel plan?" Sheila sputtered, words failing her before she bowed her head in defeat. "I don't care. I did it. It has nothing to do with my daughter. Call the police. Arrest me. It was all my fault." The director sighed again. His expression was a mixture of pity and concern as he looked at the kneeling woman. Carter's eyes stayed locked on Sheila. He should have despised this woman, but watching her debase herself for her daughter sent a sharp and unwanted sympathy through his chest. He rounded on Ruby. "Say something," he roared. "Are you really going to stand there and let your mother take the fall for you? Do you have any shame?" The HR director's voice follo

The conference room was dead silent. Everyone's eyes were locked on Miles. The shock written plainly across their faces. Their gazes flicked back and forth between Ruby and Miles, their minds scrambling to make sense of what was happening. Despite them all having different roles to play right now, every single one of them had only one question running in their mind. Why would Miles call Ruby Dr. Anderson? Could Ruby actually be Dr. Anderson? Carter shot to his feet so fast, his chair screeched across the floor. What the hell do you think you are doing? He barked. You don't get to throw Dr. Anderson's name around casually like that. If they ever heard— He began. But Miles raised a hand and cut him short. I figured you'd say that, Miles said, as he reached into his bag and pulled out a document, holding it up high for everyone to see. It was Dr. Anderson's official identification, and the name printed on it was unmi

Down by the elevator bank, Isabel was clutching Carter's arm. Her voice trembled with panic. Carter, I swear. I don't know what happened. Ruby must have hidden her identity on purpose just to mess with me. Carter shoved her hand away. He looked at Isabel, his face churning with disgust. Isabel, she's not like that. We were classmates for four years. I know her. His eyes darkened. And I'm guessing Dr. Anderson never actually agreed to consult for Knight Corp. in the first place. Did she? Isabel froze. Her silence was all the answer Carter needed. He clenched his fists. Asking you to marry me was a mistake I'm regretting already. Carter— Isabel cried, grabbing at him in desperation. But Carter didn't stop. He just plowed on. Tomorrow, I'm going to your parents' house to call off the engagement. Isabel clenched her fists, her nails biting into her palms. Just then the elevator chimed, the doors sl
