Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 784:

Burnet hadn’t expected to encounter Araceli at Silver Fox’s place. Confronted with her question, he hesitated briefly before saying, “I’m waiting for my wife.”

“Your wife?” Araceli’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. Hoffman, I didn’t know you were married.”

“Well,” Burnet responded, showing the papers in his hand. “I’m just about to go to City Hall to get married.”

“Oh.” Araceli understood, then chuckled. “But aren’t you in the wrong place? Your wife-to-be is not here.”

Burnet smiled. “I’m not in the wrong place. My wife-to-be is right here in this room.”

Araceli paused, then hugged herself in alarm, quickly throwing out a series of comments. “Mr. Hoffman, have you fallen for me? Are you declaring your love? This won’t do. Despite your good looks, charm, and being many women’s dream man, you’re not my type, so I won’t marry you. You just mentioned getting married. Are you planning to coerce me into marriage? That won’t do either. My cousin is a close friend of yours, so out of respect for him, you shouldn’t treat his cousin this way, right?”

Burnet was taken aback. He was amused and slightly frustrated, observing the young woman before him. He had always thought she was clever and astute, so why was she being so silly now? She reminded him of her brother, who was highly intelligent but emotionally clueless.
