Harrison Wells' wrist was dislocated, and he was in great pain. No matter what request Ethan Blackwood made today, Harrison Wells had neither the qualification nor the ability to refute it. He just hoped that this terrible man would leave quickly so that he could go to the hospital to fix his dislocated wrist as soon as possible.
"Whatever you need, Mr. Blackwood, just tell us. We'll do it even if we have to risk our lives," Harrison Wells said with a bitter face, unwilling but having to lower his voice.
Ethan Blackwood pushed the two of them aside, took Avery Wells' hand, and walked into the living room, sitting in the most prominent seat in the room. The slight lift of his eyebrows gave him an elegant and unapproachable look.
"I didn't come here to fight to the death. I came here today for Avery's marriage."
"Marriage?" Upon hearing this, Harrison Wells and his wife looked at each other, not understanding the meaning behind Ethan Blackwood's words.
Victoria Wells was afraid of causing trouble again, so she didn't even look at her daughter and went up to flatter Ethan Blackwood with a smile.
"Mr. Blackwood, we already handed this girl over to you yesterday. You can do whatever you want with her without consulting us."
Even if they were to sell this girl, they would have no objections. As long as the Wells family was okay, sacrificing one daughter was nothing. Not only did Victoria Wells think this way, but Harrison Wells also wished he could kick this disaster-like daughter as far away as possible.
This made Avery Wells feel ironic. Perhaps it was because they had never regarded her as a family member that they could say such things about letting others dispose of her.
"You got it wrong. I'm not here to ask for your opinions today, but to inform you," Ethan Blackwood stood up, hands in his pockets, looking at Victoria Wells with a particularly indifferent gaze.
"As for Avery, she will become my wife from now on. Whether your Wells family will have good fortune or bad, calamity or hardship, you are not allowed to approach her again. Do you understand?"
"What...what? Marriage?" Victoria Wells rubbed her ears, looking at Ethan Blackwood in disbelief, obviously unable to believe the truth of this news.
Harrison Wells also thought he had misheard and confirmed again and again, "Mr. Blackwood, are you saying that you want to marry our little Avery?"
As soon as he heard that he wanted to marry, the way he addressed Avery Wells changed immediately. "Little Avery," how affectionate, people who didn't know would think that Harrison Wells cherished this daughter so much.
Only Avery Wells herself knew the bitterness and irony in it.
But at this moment, Avery Wells had no intention of caring about her parents' reactions. Because she, like Harrison Wells and Victoria Wells, was shocked by what Ethan Blackwood had just said.
"Mr. Blackwood, what did you say? Marriage?" She went up in astonishment and pulled the man's clothes corner.
It was too sudden, and she couldn't digest this news for a while.
Wasn't it said that she would only be a surrogate mother and give birth to his heir? Okay, she reluctantly agreed to sell her body to sleep with him and have a child.
But now, suddenly saying that he wants to get married...
Avery Wells didn't understand. What did this man see in her? And why did he suddenly decide to marry her?
The man turned around and raised an eyebrow.
"What, don't you want to?"
Avery Wells snapped out of her thoughts and saw the scar on the man's face twitch slightly under the mask.
He seemed unhappy.
She quickly shook her head and said, "No, I don't mind."
"Oh, is that so." Ethan Blackwood's gaze was cold as he looked at Avery Wells.
"Is that what you really think? Do you really want this?"
