Felix's gentle expression softened, leaving only a cold and indifferent look: "Miss Adeline, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You should understand this. The reason why I'm in such a hurry to get married is that my family needs an heir to stabilize people's hearts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the need to get married at all."

"As far as I know, you have personally signed the equity transfer agreement of the Canhua Company left by your parents, and it will be extremely difficult for you to get it back by your own ability. In Jincheng, only I can help you. Isn't it just right for each of us to get what we need?"

The cold and heartless deal, all the tenderness and affection he had given her before suddenly became an illusion, but what he said was true and fair!

Marrying Felix is no joke.

Her eyes were red, and it took her a long time to calm down: "Why me? If it's because of my family's misfortune, then I'm not the only poor and wealthy young lady in Jincheng?"

"Your mother is on good terms with my grandma, so my grandma likes you too, and more importantly..." He paused and looked at her with a deep gaze: "The timing of your appearance, your appearance, and your character - everything is just right for me."

Adeline looked up at him, her long amber eyes shining with a soft light, mysterious and profound, he was also a temptation to her!

She suppressed the unease and excitement in her heart, and quickly signed her name on the document as if resigned, then handed him one.

He took it and couldn't help but wonder: "How did you agree so quickly when you were so fiercely opposed just now?"

Adeline coldly said, "As you put it, it's just a matter of what you want. More importantly, Mr. Felix has been eyeing me for a long time. Even if I don't agree, you will find a way to get me to agree, won't you?"

She turned to look at him, her moist eyes dull and devoid of any sparkle.

Felix, for some reason, didn't like her like this. He pulled his arm around her shoulder with a bit of force. Seeing her face full of annoyance, his expression became lively and he felt happy. He lowered his head and gently kissed her productions, saying, "Don't say such words. It will make me think you are wronged, and I can't bear to see you wronged!"

Adeline's face heated up in an instant, evading the productions that he wanted to kiss, he didn't hold her back, held her fingers tightly and went downstairs. When he got into the car, Grant was already waiting for them and handed Adeline's ID card and household registration door to her.

She looked at the document, speechless: "You're moving too fast."

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. "It's not my fault. It's you who are so nice. I had married you earlier so I could have felt at ease earlier."

The words of love come out of your mouth!

Adeline was a little annoyed: "People say that Mr. Felix is not close to women and is very cold and cold, but I found out that's not the case. I'm afraid you always say sweet words to make girls happy, don't you?"

He raised his eyebrows to look at her: "What, jealous?"

Without answering and changing the subject, it was obvious that there was another woman. Adeline knew that such a topic should not be asked too much, and smiled: "What am I jealous of? Mr. Felix is overthinking."

They said nothing more and made their way to the civil office, which was clearly cleared, and when Adeline followed Felix in, there were only the staff and them.

Everything was going through the proper procedures, and when they got their marriage certificate and left, she had a trance about what day it was.

She looked at the red-background photo on the marriage certificate, with Felix putting his arm around her, smiling on his face, and his amber eyes curving, brimming with tenderness.

It's so real!

And she was smiling too, smiling so brightly and beautifully. She wanted to just give a perfunctory smile, but he insisted that she smile for real. He bit her ear and said, "You smile so charmingly."

The heart was beating uncontrollably again, and Adeline slapped her head hard to wake herself up.

Felix took her from behind and put his head on her shoulder, saying rather lazily, "Hello, Mrs. Andreas!"

Adeline blushed again, mumbled a mumble, and reached out his finger to tuck her drooped black hair behind her ear, and looked at the photo on the marriage certificate for a moment, with a somewhat complicated expression: "Adeline, if only I had met you earlier."

"Ah?" Why do you say that?" She turned her head to look at him, puzzled.

He withdrew his hand from her waist, and his once tender face suddenly turned cold, and his aura returned to the usual cold and powerful: "I have something to do and need to go back to the company. You go back yourself."

After saying that, he got into the car and waved away, leaving Adeline standing in front of the civil affairs bureau, stunned, what to do, to turn against him at will, where did she offend him?

In the car, Grant carefully looked at Felix through the mirror and was puzzled to see his cold expression: "Mr. Felix, today is a wedding day after all. Why do you look unhappy?"

Felix frowned and gave him a cold look: "Stop talking nonsense and drive your car in peace!"

Grant's back stiffened and he dared not say much. He thought the president was really concerned about Adeline. After all, if he really wanted to be a surrogate, there was no need to marry her at all. But now it seemed that perhaps it was just a simple deal.

Felix was still in his mind the photo of the marriage certificate he had just seen, so beautiful, and even more surprised that he didn't know he would be laughing so emotionally.

Adeline, if I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have owed a debt to another person!

No, how could he think that was a debt, and how could that be worthy of her?

He stroked his brow with a headache, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. "It's almost Grandma's seventy birthday. Have you bought all the gifts I ordered?"

Grant nodded and asked, "Are you going to bring the young lady over that day?"

If they were to go, it would mean that their relationship would be made public directly, but at this juncture, it was clearly not convenient to do so.

He paused for a moment: "Let's talk about it then."

Adeline did not return to the splendid garden that Felix had arranged for her, but to the family. She was not a person without a temper, and he gave her a cold look for no reason. He really thought she was easy to bully.

After Zoe's disturbance, she dismissed all the servants of the family, except for one girl, Ah Hong, who was reluctant to leave, saying that the whole family relied on this salary for a living and asked her to give her a chance.

Adeline, in the end, was soft-hearted and stayed. When she came back and saw that everything was in good order, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Ah Hong handed her two letters, saying they had been sent recently. Adeline opened them and took a look. One was a court summons. Zoe had actually taken her to court and couldn't wait to take away Canhua. The other one was from House of Andreas. It was for Mrs. Felix's 70th birthday and asked her to attend.

Adeline felt warm at the thought of the kind old lady, and wondered how she would feel if she knew she was married to her grandson.

But... Felix has never said he would make their marriage public, so she can't be reckless. Besides, they have only been married for two years, so it would be good for her not to make it public and it would be convenient for her to leave later.

Ah Hong smiled happily when she saw the invitation in her hand: "Miss, it's hard for Mrs. Andreas to remember you. You should ask her for help this time when you see her and let her send someone to help you take Canhua away."

She shook her head: "The old lady is old, so it's good to enjoy her children and grandchildren. Someone from Canhua will help me. I'm going mainly to drop the engagement with frank."

"Will there be someone to take Canhua for the young lady?" Ah Hong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

Adeline gave her a fierce look, and the little girl immediately covered her mouth and lowered her head, secretly blaming herself for being talkative.

It was late at night. She carefully put her marriage certificate in her secret box and then lay down to sleep. About an hour later, she suddenly heard footsteps.
