Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

After telling the front desk staff, since they might not be able to find the granny so fast, Zoe didn’t think it would be so proper to stay at the entrance.

Hence, she took Anne to the lounge backstage.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Right then, Curtis happened to be taking a break. He had changed his costume and was drinking a bottle of water, taking the two-minute break.

Seeing Zoe came in with a little girl in her arms and hearing the girl calling her Mommy, Curtis was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

“Wait! Zoe, you can’t tell me this is your daughter. I heard you’re married. But when do you have such a big kid?”

Zoe eyed him fiercely. “Shut up. I know you are not mute.”

“Eh… No way… Where did you get this little pinky girl from?”

Zoe put the little girl to sit down and sent someone to buy some drinks that kids liked. She explained, “I have the fate with this little girl. I’ve met her twice, both because she got lost. Since I saw her, I can’t leave her alone outside. I’ve sent someone to find her family, so I just took her here for the time being.”

Only then did Curtis understand.

He asked curiously, “But, why does she call you Mommy?”

Upon hearing his question, Zoe felt a migraine.

She didn’t know why the little girl called her Mommy as soon as she saw her and kept calling her this way.

Helplessly, she squatted down and looked into Anne’s eyes, staring at her seriously.

“Anne, could you change the way to address me in the future?”

Anne blinked her watery big eyes and asked in confusion, “Why?”

“Because I’m not your Mommy. If you call me in this way, your real mommy would feel upset. You don’t want your mommy to be upset, do you?”

Anne curled her lips.

“But, I don’t have a mommy!”

Zoe was taken aback.

So was Curtis.

They never expected that such a cute little girl didn’t have a mother.

Zoe just felt as if part of her heart was pinched fiercely, feeling a strong pain.

Immediately, she hugged the little girl, who almost burst into tears. Patting her on the back, Zoe said, “Good girl, Anne. Don’t cry. It’s my fault. You can call me whatever you like in the future. It’s alright.”

Anne slightly sobbed. Then she raised her chubby hand to wipe off her invisible tears.

Looking at Zoe in a grievance, she said, “I won’t call you Mommy from now on. May I call you Aunt, please?”

Zoe nodded immediately.

“Of course. You may.”

Curtis said with a smile. “This little girl is so adorable. If I haven’t known your relationship, I would have believed she’s your daughter. She looked like you. Why don’t you become her godmother? She likes you so much.”

Zoe turned around and glared at him.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Although she liked Anne as well, she wasn’t familiar with Anne’s family. If she wanted to be Anne’s godmother, she must obtain her parents’ permission.

Curtis smiled. He didn’t speak anything else.

Bending over, he started teasing Anne. “Little girl, do you know who I am?”

Anne tilted her head, blinking at Curtis.

“I’ve seen you before. You are Curtis!”

Curtis immediately laughed out.

“Yeah. I’m Curtis! Nice to meet you, sweetheart.”

Then he bumped Zoe with his elbow proudly. “Have you heard it? She called you Aunt but called me by my name. Zoe, you’ve come back to Ambario for two years. It’s time for you

to do some skincare. You can’t keep going aged.”

Zoe pinched him on his waist violently.

“Curtis, you have a death wish, don’t you?”

Curtis groaned and dodged. Then with a cheeky smile, he said, “Don’t be mad. I was just kidding. You are still pretty. No one can compare to you in my heart.”

Zoe gritted her teeth. “Stop being so proud. After all, I don’t have such a big nephew like you.”

Upon hearing it, Curtis was taken aback.

The makeup artist couldn’t help but burst into laughter and only then did he understand what Zoe meant by tit.

Since Anne called Zoe Aunt and called Curtis by his name, Curtis was in the same generation as Anne. Hence, Zoe could naturally treat him as her nephew in this case.

Upon realizing it, Curtis looked annoyed.

“Anne, you can call me Uncle in the future, Uncle Curtis. OK?”

Anne curled her eyes when smiling. “Curtis, you are an idol. An idol can’t get old. If I called you uncle, it meant you are aged, so I can’t call you Uncle Curtis.”

Curtis was rendered speechless.

He was so annoyed.

This little girl seemed to know a lot.

Finally, he couldn’t insist on it. Without any self-confidence, he clenched his fists and squeezed a few words between his teeth. “I’m an idol? I’m an actor! An accomplished star. Alright?”

Right then, the field assistant came to urge him, “Excuse me, Mr. Chapman, the break time is over. All your fans outside are urging you now. Please go back to the stage!”

Curtis snorted loudly. Then he swaggered out arrogantly.

Almost half an hour later, she received a call from the front desk. They said a granny asked them to look for a child. After asking her for the details, they believe it should be Anne’s great-grandmother.

Hence, Zoe held Anne to the front desk. Sure enough, she saw the gray-haired granny who she had met last time standing there, looking quite anxious.

The granny was quite aged, almost in her seventies. However, she had been taken good care of, so she looked quite healthy and energetic.

However, Zoe didn’t have the heart to scold a granny. After all, if there would be anyone to blame, Anne’s father should be blamed. He was so irresponsible to let the granny and a little kid go out alone. It shouldn’t be the granny’s fault.

Once she put down Anne, the little girl trotted to the granny enthusiastically.

“Great-grandmother!”

“Anne!”

The granny hugged the little girl delightfully. Then she stood up and looked at Zoe with a smiley face.

“Miss, you helped me find Anne again. It seems we’re destined to meet.”

Zoe forced a smile. “Ah, it’s just a lift of finger.”

“Oh, it might be so to you, but for me, you helped me a lot. I don’t know how to thank you. How about this? Will you be free later? How about I treat you to a dinner?”

Zoe subconsciously wanted to refuse. “No, thanks, Ma’am. I still have work in the afternoon…”

Before Zoe finished her words, the little girl interrupted her, “Aunt Zoe, please! Let’s have dinner together. I want to have dinner with you…”

She tugged Zoe’s hand, swinging and shaking it slightly. Raising her small head to stare at Zoe with her black eyes, she looked so pitiful that Zoe failed to reject.
