Destined Marriage with Uncle Kayden

Although it could be seen that Molly had always admired and respected Kayden, they were still brother and sister after all.

And she was just an outsider who had only known him for a day. If they didn't get a marriage certificate to fulfill a stipulation of their contract, they wouldn't have anything to do with each other at all.

"I don't like to use force to solve my problems. I prefer to see the other party beg for my forgiveness rather than force them to apologize." Kayden's smile was meaningful. "If you encounter this situation again in the future, I hope it's not you who will suffer a loss. I don't want others to think I married a stupid wife."

"Oh." Lilian pursed her lips. So he meant he was afraid that his wife would disgrace him?

Kayden shook his head helplessly. "You should stay at home and rest until your face recovers. I have something I need to do and will be gone for a few days. I hope that when I return, the redness on your cheek and the wound in your heart have already healed so you can be my wife wholeheartedly."

Lilian was surprised to hear that he would be gone for days. "Where are you going?"

It wasn't the only surprise she was feeling. There was also great joy. If he was away, then didn't that mean she could have a holiday all to herself? That she didn't need to serve him or face him awkwardly?

Kayden immediately caught the ecstatic expression on her face. He frowned and asked unhappily, "So excited? Is it because you don't like being with me, or are you just afraid of being with me?"

"Me? Excited? No way!" Lilian denied it immediately. "I'm just concerned about where you're going. If someone asks where my husband has gone, I can't say 'I don't know,' right?"

Kayden didn't expose her true thoughts. He only said faintly, "I'm headed to Japan for a contract signing. I was planning to take you with me, but the schedule is tight, and if I take a woman with me, there's bound to be some trouble. You'll have to remain at home and rest, instead. We can go on our honeymoon when I get back."

Lilian's eyes widened. She glared at him, her eyes showing a mix of shock and anger.

She was angry, not only because of the part where he said, "There will be trouble if I take a woman with me," but also because of the word "honeymoon," which was actually the more frightening prospect for her.

"We're going on a honeymoon? I don't think it's necessary. We're just a fake couple anyway!" She told him with a smile.

Marrying a man she didn't love was her boldest thing ever. Going on a honeymoon with her husband, who was also her honey, was, of course, a "honeymoon," but if it was with a fake husband, should it still be called the same? Shouldn't it be called a… "sham moon"?

"Mrs. Brown, it seems like I need to stress the fact that we are legal husband and wife. There is nothing fake about it. If you don't want to have a honeymoon, then I won't force you, but our marriage agreement will be extended to three years." Kayden raised an eyebrow at her and added lightly, "You can choose which one you prefer."

"You…!" Lilian was irritated but finally swallowed her words and turned away angrily.

What she really wanted to say was, Is your Brown family really in the habit of making such boring, unequal treaties?

Nevermind. She shouldn't quarrel with a disabled person. Fine! She would go on a honeymoon with him. She would just treat it like an ordinary vacation where she could relax!

Kayden glanced at the woman who was sulking in her seat. A smile faintly appeared on the corners of his lips.

He needed to set out with Jerry that afternoon. Lilian got out of the car when they reached their villa. It was obvious that she couldn't wait to wave goodbye to him.

Kayden frowned. "Is that how you say goodbye to your husband?"

Lilian hurriedly put down her hands which already ached from her enthusiastic waving. "How should I say goodbye to you then? Farewell? Sayonara?"

Kayden scowled. He pointed to his face and told her in body language: What do you think?

Lilian was dumbfounded. It took a moment before she realized what he wanted her to do. Her face flamed. She took a quick glance at the servants who were doing their work around the villa and then made her decision.

She gritted her teeth and bowed her head to his level. Her eyes closed, and she was ready to kiss his cheek quickly to get it over.

But things didn't often go according to plan. Kayden suddenly turned to her. He reached out, took her face in his hands, and then kissed her full on the lips without hesitation.

Lilian felt soft lips touch hers, and a faint mint fragrance wafted her nose. Her eyes opened wide in an instant, and she saw the face that was really, really close. The man's deep, dark eyes were staring directly at her, twinkling with pride and strong interest. She could feel him smile against her lips.

She immediately realized that she had been tricked. She was about to shove him away, but he released her first, gently pushing her away at a safe distance so he could close the car door. His smile had turned smug. "Goodbye, honey."

When Lilian came back to her senses, the arrogant black Bentley had already driven far. Lilian caught a glimpse of some of the female servants giggling amongst each other. She could feel the redness of her face spreading down to her neck. She buried her face in her hands and ran inside her room.

That afternoon, Lilian hid in her bedroom to watch the film about her wedding day. She screenshotted several scenes and asked Emma to help her get them developed.

The photos were mainly a couple of photos of her and Kayden where only the upper half of their bodies were visible. With her slightly squatting beside him so they could be on the same eye level, it wasn't obvious that he was in a wheelchair.

Looking through the photos, she smiled in satisfaction. She took a pen and wrote a few lines behind some of them: "Mom, Dad, this is your son-in-law. Isn't he handsome? After a few days, I'll take him home to meet you."
