Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Zoe glimpsed at the padlock and seeing his serious and neat writing, her eyelashes trembled a little.

Henry noticed romantic words were written on other padlocks after finished writing the names. He then asked Natalia for her opinion, “Shall we write something on it?”

Zoe asked him in return, “What do you think we should write?”

Henry felt troubled.

He was not the mushy type and he would only say something heartwarming and sappy when he faced her and was brimmed with emotions.

Yet he truly could not think of any romantic words when they were in the middle of nowhere.

Since he had said that, he did not want to give up. After pondering for a while, he took the pen and wrote swiftly on the padlock.

Zoe approached him to take a look, and the words written on top was – I want to sleep her forever!

Natalia was speechless.

‘Are you kidding me, Mister Han?

Henry hung the padlock on the bridge with great satisfaction. Zoe still had a descendant’s padlock.

Henry snatched i from her and wrote two names on top. He then hung it on the same spot too.

Zoe asked him, “What did you write?”

“Names…”

“Names?” She widened her eyes in a daze.

“Whose names?”

“Our children’s.”

Without thinking further, she thought he meant their future children.

Henry locked the padlocks, held her hand and turned back. He ignored Natalia when she looked a bit weird.

They returned to the place that they had had their meals just now and they only knew the meteor shower said by rumors online was true after inquiring.

The observatory had indeed said there would be a meteor shower tonight, and many people had climbed the hill earlier and set up tents for it.

It was no longer the first time Zoe had seen a meteor shower with Henry together.

He had brought her to see it once not long ago.

Since they had come, and coincidentally, the meteor shower only appeared today. They did not have any reason not to see it.

Zoe’s despondence vanished and she ran to the hilltop to see the meteor.

The meteor still had not showed up, but quite many people had been sitting on the grass.

Many of them were couples.

Some came in families. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful as they gathered together.

“It would be nice if we have a telescope. We could see better.” Zoe sighed.

Henry raised his eyebrow and pointed at a stall nearby. “Someone seems to be selling it there.”

“Oh really? Shall we go there and have a look?”

Henry nodded and both of them went to the

stall. They noticed the telescopes sold were all inferior and outdated.

The stall owner tried hard to persuade them to purchase one when he saw them. After all, they looked young and wealthy, and had elegant temperament.

He promised that there would definitely be a meteor shower tonight and the view would be clearer and more beautiful with the telescopes.

Zoe did not know how to make a decision since she didn’t know about it, so she let Henry choose.

Henry picked some telescopes and without asking the price, he disassembled them, chose the parts deftly and combined them.

His movement was quick and smooth and before the stall owner could react, he had already disassembled four telescopes. He instantly panicked.

“Hey, mister, don’t destroy it if you don’t want to buy it. How could I sell these anymore?”

Henry was expressionless. “It’s fine if you don’t sell these outdated junk to others.

The stall owner became apprehensive and as he wanted to argue with him, Archie had already combined the parts he took off and tried to look through the telescope.

Although he was dissatisfied with the outcome, that was the best he could do since the parts were limited. At least the telescope looked much better than the ones before.

He took a stack of cash from his wallet and tossed it to the stall owner. He took the telescope and a soft mat from the stall, holding Natalia’s hand and left.

They came to a empty place. Archie laid the mat on the ground and both of them sat down.

Zoe tried looking through the telescope but she could not tell the difference.

Henry asked her to look through it when the meteor showed up. She would then know its difference with ordinary telescopes.

Zoe put down the telescope and they sat there, waiting.

“Hey, I heard that your wish would come true if you make a wish the moment the meteor shows up. What wish do you want to make later?” Zoe poked his arm and asked.

Henry smiled. “I thought your wish won’t be fulfilled if you say it?”

Zoe pondered and thought it to be true.

She said with grievance, “Alright!”

Seeing her looking a little dispirited, Henry worried that she was tired, and he turned his eyes towards his shoulder, signaling her, “Have a rest, I guess we still need to wait for a long time.

Zoe had been climbing the hill the whole afternoon and she indeed felt a little tired.

She then leaned against him.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Henry extended his hand and took her into his arm. Both of them cuddled towards each other tightly.

The night was silent and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of the grass. Natalia lied in his arm quietly and she felt peaceful as she listened to his powerful heartbeats and rhythmic breathing.

“Do you feel cold?” she asked.

Henry said with a low voice, “No.

“Tell me if you’re cold. Cover yourself with some clothes, don’t catch a cold.”

“Alright. I don’t feel cold when I’m hugging you.”

They cuddled towards each other silently.

Zoe moved a little for a more comfortable position. She put her head on his legs.

Henry put his hand on her waist and the atmosphere was tranquil.

“Take a nap if you’re tired,” Henry rumbled when he noticed her tired look.

Zoe shook her head. “No, I want to stay with you.”

Henry felt touched and he did not decline her kindness. Natalia whispered, “Let’s talk about something. We won’t feel tired if we talk to each other”

Henry pondered. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Anything”

“Then … could you tell me about your childhood?”

Zoe was startled.

Her childhood?

She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, yet her face turned gloomy when she suddenly remembered her deceased mother.

How should she talk about her childhood?

No matter how she said, it seemed like she could not avoid that wound in her heart.

She fell into silence and only replied at length,

“I refuse.”

Henry raised his eyebrow with surprise and looked down.

He saw her eyes limpid with a mixed expression. She pursed her lips and was looking stubborn.

His eyes turned profound and he said blandly after a long while, “Is it because you have something embarrassing to talk about?”

Zoe was startled and her slightly despondent mood instantly transformed into annoyance.

“You’re the one getting embarrassed!” Henry could not help but chuckle.

“You know, I won’t abandon you just because you did some embarrassing things in your childhood.”

Zoe looked up and took a glimpse at him.

She then looked away. “I still refuse to talk about it.”

Archie did not intend to force her.

The mountain wind was cold. He hugged her and as both of them cuddled towards each other, the coldness they felt was greatly minimized.

Henry played with her locks of hair unintentionally with his fingers and whispered, “Close your eyes if you’re tired, I’ll wake you up when the meteor shows up.”
