Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband

"Madam, you’re finally here."

Hammer saw the hope when he met her.

He had noticed early in the morning that Yvonne didn’t come to the company, which was why Mr. Taylor was so angry.

"What’s wrong?"

Yvonne was a little confused.

Hammer hesitated for a moment and said, "You should have a look at Mr. Taylor yourself."

Only then did Yvonne look at the office in confusion. The door was closed, so she could not see what was going on inside.

But it was not hard to tell from Hammer’s expression that James was in a bad mood at this time.

She had planned to take advantage of lunchtime to bring him lunch and also explain what had happened last night.

It seemed that she had come at the wrong time.

Then she was wondering if she should leave.

When she was about to leave, an angry roar came from the office. "Come in."

Obviously, he was calling Hammer.

Hammer looked at her with a pleading expression.

Yvonne was in a dilemma.

However, thinking that she had to explain it to him sooner or later, she knocked on the door and went in.

"Come in."

James’ voice came from inside the door, sounding unfriendly.

Yvonne was not used to this tone, but she still walked in.

As soon as she walked in, a document was thrown heavily at her feet.

"Is this how you treat your work?"

Yvonne looked at the document and then at James, who was sitting in his seat. His head was lowered. Although his expression could not be seen, his body exuded an unapproachable anger.

She couldn’t help feeling a little nervous while thinking, "Do I come at the wrong time?"

She was hesitating to leave before he discovered her.

"Why are you here?"

When James saw Yvonne standing at the door, the anger in his eyes was instantly hidden, and he was full of surprise.

Yvonne pursed her lips and said, "Mom asked me to bring you something to eat."

As she spoke, she raised the lunchbox in her hand.

His eyes darkened and then he said in a gentle tone, "Put it down."

Then he lowered his gaze and did not look at her again.

She stood there awkwardly. James only asked her to put the things down and did not ask her to stay. She did not know what to do for a moment.

However, when she thought of her purpose in coming here, she still walked over shamelessly.

"Eat something first. It’ll get cold later."

She placed the lunchbox on the coffee table. Then she opened the lid, took out the cutlery, and handed it to him.

James glanced at the cutlery she handed over and paused for a moment before putting down the document in his hand. However, he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he got up and walked past her.

Yvonne felt a little embarrassed.

She put the cutlery to the side and stepped aside silently.

James sat down on the sofa and glanced at the hot lunch on the table. He frowned slightly and reached out to pick up the cutlery.

"Have you eaten yet?"

She quickly nodded and said, "I’ve already eaten."

James did not say anything more. He took the cutlery and ate the food silently.

Yvonne stood to one side and stared at his expression as he ate. After hesitating for a while, she gathered her courage and asked, "Are... are you still angry with what I said last night?"

Her tone was uncertain.

James did not say anything.

Yvonne’s eyes darkened and she continued, "Actually, I didn’t mean that last night. I..."

Just as she was about to explain, James raised his head and interrupted her, looking straight into her eyes.

...

He suddenly asked, "Yvonne, do you know why I was angry last night?"

She was stunned. She then pursed her lips and said, "Because I said something I shouldn’t have."

James sighed helplessly and put down the cutlery in his hand.

"I married you not to make you bear me children, nor to force you to do something you don’t like. I only hope that you are happy. That’s what I wanted back then, and it won’t change in the future."

With a determined look on his face, he picked up the cutlery and continued to eat without waiting for her reply.

She stood there, feeling touched.

<I knew, I have always known. It is precisely because I knew that I would feel so uneasy.>

She hurriedly explained, "I know that you are very tolerant of me, but I really want to have a child not only for the sake of duty, but also because I really want to."

"Then why do you want to have children with me?" he asked calmly.

Yvonne was stumped by the question. She pursed her lips and did not know how to answer.

He stared at her and his eyes darkened. "You want to repay me, don’t you?"

It was a statement rather than a question.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m full." He suddenly lost his appetite.

Putting down his cutlery, he got up and walked to his desk to continue working.

She wanted to speak, but she felt as if her mouth was locked. She could not open her mouth no matter what.

She had to admit that it was indeed what she was thinking.

She always knew to pay the price for her joy.

She couldn’t think of a way to repay him, so she could only do something within her capabilities.

This was the only thing she could do to comfort Mrs. Taylor.

However, she had overlooked the fact that he did not need her to do that.

She even felt that her thoughts insulted his feelings for her.

Compared to his true feelings, she was simply too idiotic.

Then, she was too ashamed to explain it.

The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. She didn’t want to stay any longer, which would only make her hate herself even more.

When she thought of this, she didn’t say anything. She quickly tidied up the lunchbox and left.

On the way back, she did not take a car. Instead, she walked slowly along the street.

It was already deep winter, and was freezing cold. There were only a few passers-by walking in a hurry.

She walked alone on the street, her mind in a mess.

<Why on earth do I want to give birth to a child? In fact, I am not sure. Perhaps it really is as James has said, just to repay him. In this case, what else could I explain? >

She suddenly felt that she was too ridiculous.

Gradually, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

This was the first snow since winter began.

It was so spectacular.

She paused in her steps as she watched the snowflakes drift down from the sky. Then, she slowly stretched out her hand to catch them, watching the snowflakes melting and vanishing in her palm.

Instantly, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind.

<Do the snowflakes melt because of the temperature of my palm? Or could it be that it is their destiny?>

She was at a loss. While she was thinking, an umbrella suddenly appeared above her head.

She slowly turned around and saw James standing behind her.

He stood there with an umbrella in his hand, and there was a trace of inexplicable warmth between his snow-white eyebrows.

Suddenly she seemed to understand why she wanted to have children with him.

...

James stood there. Just now, he stood in front of the windows and watched her leave. He found that she was not taking a car, so when he saw the snow, he chased after her with an umbrella.

Then he saw her standing alone in the snow.

"It’s snowing. Let’s go. I’ll drive you back."

He paused for a moment and put his arms around her shoulder. However, he sensed that she remained still, so he looked back at her in confusion.

She stood still and stared at him without blinking.

Compared with James’ confusion in the eyes, her eyes were full of emotion.

She thought that she was probably obsessed with the warmth he gave her.

After she sensed the warmth, she didn’t want to return to the cold.

She thought, "Perhaps this is the reason why I want to have a child with him."

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth. "I want to have a baby because I don’t want to lose you."

She continued, "At present, I may not be able to like you as much as you like me, and I can’t give you a warm response, but as long as you don’t dislike me, I am willing to accompany you for the rest of life."

In the heavy snow, she spoke out what was on her mind.

James stared at her in a daze, feeling surprised, excited, and even relieved.

<That’s enough. This sentence is enough. Even if she would never love me for the rest of her life, it is enough.>

He threw the umbrella away and pulled her into his arms tightly. "I don’t. I won’t dislike you for the rest of my life." His heart was full of joy.

Hearing what he said, Yvonne was fully relieved. She hugged him tightly and could not help closing her eyes to wholeheartedly feel the warmth in his embrace that she had never felt before.

She thought that there might not be such a warm place in the world.

Therefore they hugged each other tightly in the heavy snow and allowed the snowflakes to fall over their hairs.

"Come, let’s go home."

After an unknown period of time, James slowly let go of her, and his big hand reached out to her.

She watched his strong hand and held it.

Then the two disappeared into the snow hand in hand.

When they got home, both of them got wet to different degrees.

When Mrs. Taylor saw them return, dripping with water, she rebuked, "Why are you wet? Don’t you know how to hold an umbrella?"

Yvonne was a little embarrassed. It was she who asked James to walk back. Unexpectedly, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and even the umbrella was useless.

Just as she was feeling ashamed, James spoke with a smile, "Mom, it’s me who want to play in the snow with Yvonne."

"How old are you? Play in the snow? Go take a shower and don’t catch a cold."

"Okay."

As James spoke, he took her hand and walked upstairs.

After entering the bedroom, his first reaction was to get a towel for Yvonne.

"Wipe yourself, don’t catch a cold."

He handed the towel to her and turned to the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Yvonne thought that he was going to take a shower. So she was about to leave while drying her hair. Unexpectedly, he came out again.

"I’ve already prepared the water. Go and take a hot bath."

Yvonne thought in surprise, "Did he just go in to prepare water for me?"

She quickly shook her head. "You take a shower first."

After all, their clothes were both wet.
