Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

“Excuse me. Are you the guests of Room 6602?”

All three of them were taken aback. The granny hurriedly said, “I… We have something emergent to deal with upstairs now. If you have something to say, come back to me later. All right?”

After finishing her words, she dragged Zoe and Anne to trot inside.

However, they were stopped by the staff again.

This time, not only the staff in the lobby but also two security guards also stood in front of them.

They all looked quite serious. The staff from the lobby gazed at the granny and said seriously, “Excuse me, Ma’am. You haven’t paid for the room for two days. You said you would pay it today, so we agreed to let you and your granddaughter continue staying here. But since this morning, we have failed to contact you. If you don’t pay today, I’m afraid we can’t let you continue staying here.”

Zoe was startled.

She turned around to look over at the granny.

The granny looked quite embarrassed.

“Well… I planned to pay today, but my wallet was lost when I was having dinner earlier. Could you give me another two days? After I’ve found my wallet, I’ll pay for sure.”

The staff heaved a sigh helplessly.

“But, Ma’am, you’ve already said the same thing two days ago.”

The granny was silent.

Zoe had never expected to encounter such an awkward scene.

Anne walked up to tug that staff’s sleeve, shaking slightly.

She raised her cute face and stared at the staff with her jade like eyes, blinking.

“Miss, have my great-grandmother and I brought you any trouble? I’m terribly sorry for that, but we truly have lost our wallet. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Aunt Zoe. She is our witness.”

As she spoke, Anne pointed at Zoe behind them.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Zoe was speechless.

She wondered how come suddenly she became the focus.

How should she answer?

Seeing that Zoe was a bit hesitant, the granny immediately winked at her in secret.

Zoe found it literally hilarious.

Right then, she roughly understood what happened. Without looking at the granny again,

she asked the staff directly, “How much do they owe you?”

“Three days, that would be seventeen thousand six hundred and sixty-four in total.”

Zoe nodded. Grandview was a high-end resort hotel, so naturally it cost a little more.

Without speaking anything, she pulled out her credit card.

“I’ll pay for them!”

In embarrassment, the granny said, “Uh… I’m so sorry for bothering you.”

Zoe twitched her mouth corners and didn’t expose the granny’s lie. She rubbed Anne’s hair.

“It’s alright. Just take it as a gift that I give to Anne. We are destined to meet but I haven’t given her any gift yet.”

Seeing that, Anna widened her bright eyes. With a delightful smile, she said, “Thank you so much,

Aunt Zoe!”

The hotel staff then took over Zoe’s car for the payment.

After it was done, Zoe asked the granny, “What’s your plan now? Do you have any place to stay?”

The granny felt quite guilty. She wasn’t so talkative as she was when they were having dinner. Shrinking backward, she stammered, “No… No, we don’t.”

Zoe paused a bit, feeling quite unhappy about the granny’s behaviors.

It was obvious that she was lying about losing her wallet or having a trip.

The granny took Anne with her for free lunches and accommodations, and she had even chosen such a high-end hotel. Zoe could understand that someone was leading a difficult life, but the granny had gone too far…

Heaving a sigh, Zoe didn’t have the heart to scold her. She bent over and carried Anne in her arms.

“Well, in this case, you can stay in my house overnight. It’s quite late now. Let’s talk about your plan tomorrow.”

When the granny heard her suggestion, her eyes lit up.

Anne also looked quite excited hearing her words.

Wrapping her arms around Zoe’s neck, she started to celebrate. “Yeah! I can sleep with Mommy again!”

Zoe was speechless.

Anne had just changed the way to address her a few hours ago, but now she called Zoe Mommy again.

Zoe felt quite helpless, but she wasn’t in the

mood to correct her again. Seeing that the granny agreed, she walked out with Anne in her arms.

The car was driving steadily on the wide avenue.

Zoe called Mrs. Dottie ahead, informing her that she was bringing two guests back home.

Henry had a meeting at night, so Zoe knew probably he would stay in the company till very late as he had called her earlier. Hence, she didn’t interrupt him but sent him a message. He should see it after the meeting.

The car was pulled over in front of Han Mansion. Zoe got off the car, opened the door for them, and carried Anne out.

Mrs. Dottie had already got prepared at home after receiving the call. Upon hearing the sound of the engine outside, she knew that Natalia had arrived home, so she hurriedly walked out.

“Ma’am, you are back! Are the guests also he…?”

She hadn’t finished speaking the last word when seeing the granny and the little girl, and she gaped instantly.

The granny cast her a glance, keeping calm.

However, her shrew eyes were full of warnings.

Mrs. Dottie immediately covered her mouth. Anne had been trotting into the house excitedly.

“Yeah! Here I am again! I’ll sleep with Mommy tonight!”

Mrs. Dottie’s widened eyes became more widened.

She noticed how Anne had called Zoe.

‘Has Miss Anne and Mrs. Han met and known each other’s identity already?

‘What on earth is going on?’ she thought to herself.

Under Mrs. Dottie’s shocking gaze, Zoe walked into the villa while holding the granny’s and Anne’s hands.

“Mrs. Dottie, this is Anne and her great-grandmother, Ariana. Please get me two guestrooms. They’ll stay here tonight.”

Mrs. Dottie swallowed. She truly wanted to speak something, but when she met Ariana’s sharp eyes, Mrs. Dottie swallowed the words back. She turned around to clean the guestrooms.

Ariana turned around and looked at Zoe with a smile. “Miss Gil, I’m so sorry for troubling you. Thank you so much for taking us in.”

Zoe smiled faintly. “It’s alright. Anne is still so little. I can’t let her suffer that much.”

Anne tugged her hand. Zoe thought that she wanted to say something, so she subconsciously bent over to listen to her.

However, the little girl tiptoed suddenly and pecked on Zoe’s cheek.

Zoe was stunned.

Then, the little girl said in a clear tone, “Thank you, Mommy.”

Zoe laughed out.

After the guestrooms were ready, Zoe sent them to bed. Anne insisted on sleeping with her, but Henry would come home tonight, so Zoe dared not to agree with her.

She negotiated with Anne for a long time and promised that she would tell her bedtime stories and send her to sleep before leaving the room, Anne finally agreed.

Mrs. Dottie watched them get along so intimately, and she felt so complicated.

The last time when Anne came here, Mrs. Dottie was on holiday, so she didn’t know it.

Right then, when she saw Zoe was fully obsessed with the little girl, Mrs. Dottie felt quite happy and a bit worried.

She could tell that Miss Anne had admitted Zoe to be her mother, which was supposed to be a good thing.

However, the old Mrs. Han insisted on hiding her true identity from Mrs. Han. Mrs. Dottie wondered how this farce would end finally.

Thinking of that, she couldn’t help pitying Zoe.
