Married in a Flash Embarking on the Journey to Wealth

Chapter 87

Leslie looked at the reflection on the glass window at the busy and delicate figure before him and then at the shrimp in his hand. There was a strange feeling swirling in his chest.

His parents‘ divorce had been an ugly affair. He was still young at the time and couldn’t do anything but stare in disbelief as his usually stern father hurled the most vicious words at his mother. At that time, he had never believed that man was his own father.

When he saw his father leave, he followed him outside, only to find a beautiful woman sitting in the car, holding a boy of roughly his own age in her arms. His father smiled as he picked up the boy and kissed the woman on the forehead.

He realized that even his father, who rarely showed emotion, could smile. At that moment, he felt nauseous.

Everything that happened afterward shattered his understanding of humanity. Since then, marriage was never a part of his plan.

But he hadn’t expected to get married eventually, and the feeling of being married was different from what he had imagined.

As for what was different, he couldn’t quite put it into words. It was as if nothing had changed, yet everything had changed.

“I don’t eat spicy food,” Leslie replied in a deep voice.

“Alright.”
