From the very first moment I laid eyes on Carter, I feltan inexplicable fear toward him. A single cold and sharp glance from him was enough to make me feel like I had been plunged into an icy abyss.

His presence was overwhelming, almost suffocating. H features were already striking, but those eyes were just

like a hawk's. It seemed to strip away every layer of pretense I tried to hide behind.

1 forced myself to stay calm. Even though I wasn't entirely clear on the situation I was in, there was no way he could know who I was. Pushing down the turbulent emotions threatening to surface, I curled my lips. into a faint smile. "Oh? We're not even married yet, and you're already trying to control me."

Carter didn't respond right away. His gaze stayed fixed on my face, intense and unyielding, as though he were trying to read my mind or figure me out.

God knows how much cold sweat was running down my back under his oppressive scrutiny: Yet, I kept the smile plastered on my face, refusing to falter.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally spoke, h Ms. Gardner that the night air is chilly, and youtu

old as his demeanor. "I just wanted to remind best health. It's better not to catch à cold.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bolton." My tone was polite but distant.

Seeing he didn't leave, I met his gaze head-on and asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Bolton?"

"Ms. Gardner, I can treat the marriage registration tomorrow as a joke on your part."

So that's why he was here. Of course. After all, the original owner of this body had been so desperate to avoid marrying him that she had attempted suicide. Then, out of nowhere, she'd decided she wanted to go through with the wedding. Anyone would find that suspicious.

I took a deliberate step closer to him, and propped my hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, peering at him from above. "Mr. Bolton, you have someone you love, don't you?"

He didn't deny it. His answer was simple and direct. "Yes"

I said with a knowing smile. I thought so, because you can't be with her, it doesn't matter to you who you marry, right?"

*Right."

"Well, that works perfectly for me. Mr. Bolton, I'm only agreeing to marry you because I want a more comfortable life. You've seen it for yourself, things are exactly great for me in the Gardners."

I didn't know the Gardners's specific situation yet. However, judging from the fact that the original owner of this body had been pushed to suicide, I could make pretty good guess.

The flicker in his expression confirmed my suspicions. was right!

I let my lips curve into a slight smirk. "We can treat this marriage as a transaction. You give me the stability and freedom I need, and in return, my status as your wife can offer you some business resources. I'll play my role as Mrs. Bolton perfectly. What do you think?"
