"So... what you mean is, you're asking me to marry you?" Michelle Campbell incredulously pointed at herself as she asked.
"You could say that."
His acknowledgment made Michelle even more surprised...
She tried to guess what he meant, recalling that he had just said he needed a wife... not that she should marry him.
Although these two statements seemed similar, there was a huge difference in meaning!
At this moment, Michelle suddenly thought of the phone call she had with Aaron Duncan before.
At that time, Aaron was so sure that the man hadn't touched her...
Could it be... because...
With that thought, Michelle suddenly looked at the man in front of her more closely.
He was handsome and dashing, with a perfect figure and eye-catching long legs. Just looking at him gave one a visual enjoyment.
For such a man, finding a wife would be a simple matter, even without considering his status as the owner of JS Corporation.
But he chose her...
On second thought, after he kissed her last night, he did nothing else.
At this point, Michelle suddenly remembered an online news article she had seen about Samuel Noah Jackson. The article claimed that Samuel's sexual orientation was rumored to be abnormal, and that he liked men...
Michelle's heart jolted, and she suddenly came to a conclusion: this man in front of her didn't like women!
In other words, he might actually like men!
Asking her to be his wife could just be him wanting to find a woman to deal with his family or for some other reason.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her to marry him.
With this thought, Michelle figured out why he wanted to marry her.
"Okay, as long as you're willing to help me, I'll agree!" She nodded, having no other choice at this point.
Samuel looked at her, the corners of his thin lips curving into a faint, unrecognizable smile.
......
One hour later, at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The Civil Affairs Bureau, which should have been closed by now given the time, was still bustling with staff members, probably due to Samuel's presence.
Michelle, holding documents like her hukou that she had just stolen from home, wore a slightly nervous expression on her face.
"I'm nineteen this year, I shouldn't be able to get a marriage certificate yet, right?" Michelle worriedly looked at Samuel beside her.
One could only get a marriage certificate after turning twenty!
"Miss Song, your age has already been increased by one year!" At this moment, a man in a black suit with a poker face standing behind Samuel, presumably his subordinate, suddenly spoke.
Michelle was initially surprised, but then she understood considering his status.
It shouldn't be hard for Samuel to change her age.
Still, she felt somehow wronged, having suddenly gained a year out of the blue!
With this thought, she sighed and kept comforting herself.
It was just a marriage, no big deal, especially since it was a marriage in name only!
As long as her brother Daniel could be saved, she would be willing to do anything!
The staff handed them two forms. Samuel quickly filled out his and handed it back.
Michelle hesitated for a moment as she was about to sign her name on hers.
She lifted her head and glanced at Samuel and the poker-faced man standing behind him...
