Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

She then tried on a monkey mask and made a goofy face at him.

Henry felt warm in his heart hearing what she said, and after a while, finally he nodded, “You are correct, it’s good enough to have a blessing”

Zoe removed her mask and smiled at him.

“That’s right!” she murmured and squeezed his face.

Henry came to a halt. Nobody had ever squeezed his cheek before, and he had an odd feeling about it.

Zoe hadn’t noticed that. She then removed the monkey mask and replaced it with a pig mask.

“Hey, beautiful lady, do I look good?” she turned back and asked Henry.

Zoe could not hold back his laughter and said, “Ugly!”

“Come, beautiful lady, come back to my farm with me!” she said as she approached Henry in an attempt to catch him.

“Who are you talking to?” Henry said, softly knocking on her head.

“Of course, you! Look in the mirror and check whether you have a beautiful face.”

“But I am a man!”

“There aren’t many ladies in the world who are more beautiful than you.”

Henry was at a loss for words. He wasn’t sure whether he should be delighted or upset at being told he was more good-looking than a woman.

Zoe removed the mask and gave it to the owner, saying, “I’ll take this, how much is it?”

“Why do you want this?”

“Just for fun.”

Zoe grinned at him, paid, removed the mask from the bag, and put it back on, clearly having a good time.

Henry trailed behind her, seeing that she was much more energetic and lively than when she was in Julio.

He lavished her with jewels, cosmetics, clothes, and purses, all custom-made by world-renowned designers, yet she had never smiled as brilliantly as she did now.

And she acted as though she had just found some magnificent treasure for purchasing two cheaply produced rings.

He realized she was far more cute than he

had previously believed, and he liked her much more as a result.

She was happy because of him, not the luxuries.

They stayed in the night market until Natalia was tired and then returned home.

Zoe felt cold on her trip home because the temperature in town varied greatly between day and night.

Henry then took off his jacket and put it around her shoulders. They were hungry, so on the way back, they stopped at the bistro where they had eaten earlier in the day.

They were ready to enter when they noticed the owners adjusting and cleaning up the chairs and tables.

“Oh? Are you through with the night market?”

“Are you closing?” Natalia inquired, feeling a little awkward.

“Yes, it’s almost eleven o’clock now, and we’re ready to head home. Would you like anything to eat?”

Zoe gave a nod.

“Oh, everything is sold out. We’ll have to get some fresh ingredients tomorrow morning.

But I got some bread and yogurt this afternoon. You can have them if you want!”

She went to the refrigerator, pulled out the bread and yogurt, and presented it to them.

Zoe immediately waved her hand. “It’s okay, you’re running a business here. How could we take it for free?”

Henry quickly pulled three notes from his wallet and handed them to her.

Hannah was irritated by this. “What are you doing? These are just bread and yogurt. We are all from Ambario and we are now in a foreign land. I can certainly afford to treat you this.”

Zoe blushed and felt embarrassed.

“No, we didn’t mean it that way.”

“In any case, take this! There are no stores or restaurants along the way you’re taking, so this will be your final chance to get food.”

“Oh, I see,” Natalia murmured.

“Yes, and don’t stay out too late at night since the tourist attractions are packed with all sorts of people. The weather will get much colder after midnight and everyone will be heading home, there isn’t much outside at that hour anyway, and it’s not safe to remain out late.”

Zoe gave a nod. “Thank you”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Henry put back his cash into his wallet.

Zoe was holding the bread and yogurt when they were sent to the door. She was moved because she felt Hannah was a nice person who took wonderful care of them.

“There are lovely people everywhere in this world,’ she murmured on the way home, “And we are blessed to have met a kind couple here.”

“It just took bread and yogurt to reach to your heart?”Henry said softly.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Zoe gave him a stern look and said, “What do you mean? Is this something to do with bread and yogurt? This is the warm feeling of meeting someone from the home country in a foreign land, do you get it?”

“Yes, I do. You met someone from your own country in a foreign land and she was gracious enough to give you bread and yogurt. But you’ve never thanked me for all the bread I’ve given you.”

Zoe couldn’t think of anything to say.

“Because you are such a businessman!” she

said after a little pause.

Henry couldn’t hear her and gave out a high-pitched ‘hmm’

Zoe didn’t want to irritate this man, so she softened her tone and added, “Thank you, I am very thankful to you, so grateful.”

Henry smirked. She was praising him, but why did he feel she was not?

Zoe didn’t explain anything to him and just went away without giving him a chance to defend himself.

After a restful night’s sleep.

Zoe and Henry headed to the nearby food market the next morning after learning about it.

They chose this little town for a reason, and they wanted to experience the life of ordinary people here.

As a result, Zoe had insisted they buy ingredients and cook for themselves.

Although she was not a competent chef, she had seen him cook and was happy to let him take on the culinary duty.

Henry agreed and accompanied her to the food market after changing his clothes. They arrived at a nearby market.

Zoe was inept at cooking and sourcing fresh food alike.

Henry , on the other hand, could tell the difference between fresh and bad food. But he was too proud to bargain, so he chose the ones he liked and paid

whatever the owner asked, while ignoring those he didn’t want, no matter how cheap.

His abrupt and non-bargaining purchasing style drew the attention of the ladies around him in the market.

It was already quite a topic for good-looking couples like them visiting the food market.

There were usually vacationing couples who would want to visit the food market, but they sure weren’t as good-looking as Henry and Zoe . In an instant, they became the talk of the town.

They finished buying the items for lunch in approximately half an hour.

“Have you noticed how the ladies are looking at you just now in the market? They were watching you like wolves.” On the way back, Zoe teased Henry.
