Destined Marriage with Uncle Kayden

Lilian quickly waved her hand as she shook her head. "No, you misunderstood me! I actually wanted to thank you for appearing at that moment. I would really be ashamed if no one volunteered."

Lilian couldn't thank Kayden enough for helping her, especially since she was in the worst time of her life. Lilian couldn't help but to look forward to the fact that after a year, she's finally moved on and will not feel any resentment with Benjamin and will finally recover her freedom. Unharmed. Unashamed.

Kayden was like a guardian angel that fell right out of the sky to help her.

Lilian was delighted and relieved that her absurd marriage seeking wouldn't bring her too much trouble.

"You're welcome. We just need each other. Although I can't go to bed with you, I'll make sure you'd be proud that you're my wife. But you must also fulfill your obligations. In addition to accompanying me on various business occasions, you must also take care of my daily life." Kayden glanced at her lightly. "Is there any problem with that?"

"Yes." Lilian hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and asked, "If I'm going to take care of your daily life, um... will I get a salary?"

"What?" Kayden frowned, surprised by the question's absurdity.

"I mean, I won't go abroad with you in a year. We are only bound legally, and I have to take care of you every day, so I'm afraid I can't go to work... I used to be an employee of Holmes Group, and now I'm sure I'll lose my job..." Lilian looked down and spoke incoherently.

"Are you short on money?" Kayden interrupted her and hit the nail on the head.

"Yes." Lilian nodded timidly.

"Okay, don't worry about it. My wife will never be short of money." Kayden smiled while looking at her little face. His slightly frowned eyebrows stretched out.

"Didn't you just say you had questions to ask me? You can ask now."

"No, I don't have a question now." She finally shook her head and looked up at him. His words dispelled all her worries, and she was glad that they had come to terms with their marriage.

"Then, Mrs. Brown, can we go back home now?" he asked, putting his hand around her shoulder.

"Go back... To your house?" she asked, uncertainty etched in her voice as she moved her body to the side uneasily.

"It's our house now, you know."

"Oh, okay." Lilian couldn't help but feel embarrassed about hearing that his house also belonged to her now.

After driving for more than half an hour, the black Bentley drove into a high-end mansion area in the suburbs. Lily was not shocked that Kayden owned such a massive and elegant house because she knew how rich Benjamin's family was.

As soon as the car stopped, Lilian hurriedly went out the door and opened Kayden's side. "I'll help you out," she said.

"No need." Kayden held her hand: "You don't have to do the work that my men and maids could do."

When he spoke, his eyes kept looking at her with a smile. His tone was very serious, but it seemed to be with interest.

"Oh." Lilian nodded obediently.

As soon as she opened the door and came down, Lillian saw a line of people standing by the side of the road and nodding respectfully to her. It looked like Kayden alerted all of his staff of their marriage.

Except for the driver and the two men who came down from the car behind, there were three women and three men. Kayden had more servants than the Holmes family, Lilian concluded.

"Hello, sir! Hello, madam!"

"Hello," Lilian greeted with a sly smile. She felt a bit embarrassed. It was the first time I addressed her with so much respect. All she received before was Benjamin's mother's sneer and judgmental looks.

"I'd like all of you to introduce yourself to my wife. She may be young, but you need to listen to her in the future," Kayden said as he controlled the wheelchair to enter the living room fully.

"Madam, my name is Jerry," a man started. "I'm Sir Kayden's personal assistant." Jerry smiled as he ushered Lilian into the house.

Lilian frowned at the word 'madam.' Benjamin's brother, Jack Holmes, used to call her that while she and Benjamin were dating. She couldn't help but remember her cheater ex-fiance.

Kayden signed a document and handed it to Jerry. "Tell President Neil that we will start a partnership with the Miller group."

Lilian had just finished getting to know Kayden's staff and heard what Kayden had said. With her curiosity prying open, she glanced at the document and saw the big font of 'Plan to Acquire Miller Group.'

She couldn't help but ask, "Are you buying Miller Group of companies?"

Kayden waved his hand to tell Jerry to go out, patted the sofa next to him, and motioned her to come and sit down. She willingly obliged despite her wildly beating heart.

"Why are you asking?" Kayden asked with his brows raised. "Are you interested in business?"

"No, not because of that. I was a saleswoman in Holmes Group and had business contacts with Miller Group. Miller Group is one of the leading enterprises in JC City. Did you just buy them out?" Lilian said honestly.

The Holmes family was already a famous family in JC City. Even Benjamin's father didn't dare to think of acquiring Miller Group, which was on an equal footing with Holmes Group. But Kayden had just returned home and acquired Miller Group so easily.

It seemed like Kayden was a powerful man. Much more powerful than the Holmes family. She couldn't help but be curious about Kayden's real identity. Was he some secret billionaire in the US?

Kayden grinned. "I had to work hard so my wife wouldn't be short of money," he answered lightly.

Lilian rolled her eyes. "Please. That sounds like a really fake reason," she whispered.

"What did you say?" Kayden confusedly asked.

"Nothing!" She waved her hand.

"Hmm. Nothing, huh." Kayden hummed. "Fine, then. Come and help me take a bath so we can finally have our dinner."

"Help you take a bath?" Lilian stood up from the sofa and stared at him. A loud ringing echoed in her ears due to shock.

Kayden tilted his head and gave Lilian an innocent look. "Do you expect me, a disabled person, to bathe alone?"

***

"But you said we were only married in the paper? We won't act as a real husband and wife?" "Lilian's small face flushed, "How can I assist you in taking a bath?"

"I also said you had to look after me. What's the matter, Mrs. Brown? You dislike a disabled person like me?" Kayden narrowed his eyes and looked at her. His expression was cold and sullen, and his tone was unhappy.

He was angry.

Lilian looked at his gloomy handsome face and lowered her head. "I didn't mean to say it that way. I'm sorry."

"Then stop hesitating and just do it. You don't have to worry. I won't feel anything if you take your clothes off before me. I cannot feel anything in my waist down, do you understand?" Kayden's frowned eyebrows stretched out slowly as he saw Lilian's face become more blushed.

He controlled his wheelchair and went to the elevator. "Come on, follow me."

Lilian stood in her place for a brief moment as she hesitated; she bit her lips hard and followed up after a few seconds. She was determined to assist Kayden in taking a bath. As he had stated, she could treat him as a patient, another woman, or even cabbage.

It was her first time seeing someone's home with an elevator installed. 'If it was inconvenient for him to go upstairs, why didn't he just live on the first floor instead?'

Lilian gently pushed Kayden into the elevator and stood behind him. She couldn't help but whisper, "What a pretentious rich man."

"A wife who is unwilling to bathe her disabled husband is more pretentious," Kayden pointed out upon hearing what Lilian whispered. He noticed Lilian curling her lips angrily from the visible metal panel on the elevator's sides. A soft light shone into his dark eyes.

After entering the bedroom, Kayden pointed to the large king-size bed and said, "You have to sleep in the same bedroom with me so the maid won't get suspicious. I'll sleep in the study room next door most of the time, anyway, and even if I go back to my bedroom to sleep, the bed is big enough to keep us at a distance while sleeping."

She nodded, saying, "Oh, okay." without hesitation. She walked directly into the bathroom after briefly exploring the room with her eyes.

She was grateful to Kayden. She desired marriage but believed she would pay for her rash decision. She was lucky to meet Kayden, who would only be her husband for one year, and she didn't have to fulfill the wife's obligations, such as sleeping with him if needed.

After entering the bathroom, Lily discovered everything was designed for a disabled person like Kayden. The wash basin was shallow, and everything was within his reach.

The bathtub was also built-in, the height was nearly the same as the wheelchair, a large table, the pool walls were all non-slip, and an inside massage chair-style seat.

As Lilian put water into the bathtub, she thought that with such a convenient facility, he could take care of himself completely; however, he asked her to serve him.

'What an arrogant idler!' she thought.

After the bathtub was ready, she turned around and saw Kayden had come in.

"W–well, the water is ready." She couldn't help but blush and stammer because Kayden had taken off his clothes on the upper part of his body and only wore trousers.

When he was in the wheelchair, she could only see Kayden's long and slender legs. His muscular and tight chest and abdominal muscles were exposed, as were his broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his honey skin was revealed in the steamy bathroom.

"Come, help me take off my pants." He controlled the wheelchair to get closer to her while speaking in a natural tone.

Lilian immediately walked over as she clenched her teeth. She squatted in front of him and hesitated as she lowered her head to untie his belt.

Lilian's clumsy little hands trembled while undoing his belt. She deliberately closed her eyes when she went to unzip Kayden's pants. Kayden looked at Lilian's closed eyes, and he smiled.

Kayden raised one of his eyebrows and said, "Is your husband in such bad shape that you can't even look at it?"

"Your body's so great that I'm scared I'll get a nosebleed if I look too much," she sarcastically replied with an awkward smile.

Lilian had been in sales for three years; she was very good at flattery. She also considered herself best at communicating and making other people like her.

After a short while, Kayden was only wearing thin, white shorts. Lilian hurriedly looked away; however, a question suddenly appeared in her mind.

'If he had no consciousness below the waist, wouldn't he ask her for help when he wanted to go to the toilet?'

"Go on, take it off," Kayden ordered as he noticed Lilian stopped for a moment, interrupting Lilian's thoughts.

'He still wanted me to continue? Do I have to help him take off his last pair of shorts?' Lilian thought, questioning Kayden in her mind.

She was helpless; however, she had no choice. She turned to look away while stretching her hand out to his waist.
