Chapter 2
When they came back again, they entered holding hands tightly.
Nathaly’s lips were swollen and red, and there was a prominent hickey on Martin’s Adam’s apple.
Everyone looked at me with a smug expression, waiting for me to lose my temper.
In the past, whenever I saw scenes of other girls getting close to Martin, I would inevitably make a big fuss and cling to him to divert his attention back
to me.
Martin reached out and shielded Nathaly behind him, his expression seemingly anticipati something.
However, several minutes passed and I still had no reaction.
Martin was somewhat surprised and after a moment, he chuckled coldly, “You have made some progress, not fooling around like before!”
When the party ended and I was heading home, Martin grabbed me and said, “It’s late and not safe. Let me walk you home.“”
There was a free car available to ride, and I didn’t refuse.
When I tried to walk from the front seat to the back seat, Martin, however, took a step ahead and
blocked the passenger
door.
“You went to the back.”
After speaking, he escorted Nathaly to the passenger seat.
“Sorry Aileen, Martin also felt sorry for me and worried that I would get carsick…”
I didn’t say anything and sat in the back seat of the car as I had originally planned.
On the way, Martin and Nathaly were chatting and laughing ahead.
While waiting for the traffic light, Nathaly coquettishly asked Martin to help her apply lip balm
The two of them locked eyes, getting closer and closer until their breaths became heavy from
intertwining.
The next second, Martin suddenly looked back to the back seat, as if just realizing that I was also in
the car.
When he saw me staring out of the window with a single–minded focus, his expression froze, and he inexplicably darkened his face and started the car.
got out of the car when I arrived home, and Martin, contrary to his usual behavior, grabbed me again.

He handed me a bracelet and said condescendingly, “Alright, stop using these pretentious tactics of pretending not to care, it’s very cheap,”
This bracelet can be considered as the engagement gift I gave you‘
“As long as you obediently listen, I will give you the wedding. At least, in name, the people of Newwald will consider you as my wife.
I looked up and asked him, “So who is the person you are going to marry? Is it Nathaly?”
Martin suddenly became angry, but there was also a mysterious sense of satisfaction in his expression.
“I knew you were pretending all along. I warn you; you are absolutely not allowed to reveal a single word about this matter in front of our parents!”
“The relationship between Nathaly and me was not what you could imagine! She was kind and fragile, without any of your sneaky thoughts. If you dare to hurt her, don’t blame me if I don’t even invite you to the wedding!”
I laughed, even though it was he himself who was timid and afraid to express his intentions to the Gibson family, but it turned out that everything was me who was causing trouble in between.
I didn’t respond to him anymore and turned around to go home..
I had just entered the door when I received a video from Nathaly.
In the video, Martin carefully helped her put on the necklace.
I recognized the brand of this necklace and then remembered that the bracelet Martin had put in my hand earlier was a gift with this necklace.
Their necks intertwined, and the next second they kissed each other, the smacking sound of their lips and tongues was unusually harsh in the car.
Aileen, Martin should have just told you, right? After he finishes the wedding with you, he is going to register with me…
You know, an unrecognized marriage doesn’t have any property inheritance rights, time for me to become a wealthy man’s wife in this lifetime!
