Marriage Like Candy

Chapter 12

Charles kept his words and didn't go home for a whole week.

The next Saturday his car finally appeared at the entrance of the villa.

"Charles!"

The moment Cherry heard the sound of the car, she couldn't wait to run downstairs without changing her pajamas.But Charles just threw a dress on the sofa.

"There's an important banquet today. It's improper to take Nora there."

He said coldly, "Dress up and go with me."

The joy on Cherry's face wore off.

Looking at the dress on the sofa, she lowered her head with a wry smile.

How would he be willing to come back for her? He just came back for a "legal wife."

"I see."

Afraid of disobeying Charles on such a trivial matter, she picked up the dress and went upstairs.

Half an hour later, Cherry changed her clothes.

Charles was waiting impatiently on the sofa, but when he looked up and saw Cherry, he was stunned.

She was so beautiful.

The pure white silk gown outlined the woman's nice figure, and the light makeup showed her elegance perfectly.

She was like a spotless white rose.

Spotless? Charles cast down his eyes and smiled sarcastically.

How could this kind of woman who had thrown herself at countless men be spotless? The affection in his eyes faded.

He got up and urged, "Let's go."

The banquet was held at the most luxurious six-star hotel in S City.

Cherry didn't even know what the theme of the banquet was.

She was led by Charles, greeted and toasted the people at the banquet numbly.

Until.

"Mr.Yanak!"

Charles's eyes lit up when he saw a tall figure in the crowd.

He hurriedly pulled Cherry over and smiled fawningly at that man, "Thank you for inviting us here.Congratulations on the listing of your new fund.Here's a toast to you."

Austin had been discussing the new contract with a partner when hearing the greeting.

He turned to see a flattering smile.

He frowned with no sort of recognition.

Seeing that Austin didn't recognize him, Charles quickly handed over his business card and respectfully introduced himself.

"I'm Charles Laris, the eldest son of the Laris family.I had cooperated with one of your subsidiaries a while ago."

Austin took the business card and finally remembered him.

The Yanak family was one of the richest families in S City, and there were several first- class families following.

The Laris family could be narrowly considered as a second- class family.

As for the Quigley family that adopted Cherry, it could only be counted as a third-class family.

Therefore, from Austin's perspective, he only had a vague impression of the Laris family, though it was superior to the Quigley family.

To be exact, if it weren't that the Laris family happened to cooperate with the Yanak's subsidiary, Charles wouldn't have been worthy of an invitation at all.

Handing the business card to the assistant next to him, Austin said calmly, "Nice to meet you, Mr.Laris."

"The pleasure is mine."

Charles seized the opportunity of talking to a big shot like Austin.

He quickly dragged Cherry over, "This is my wife, Cherry.Why are you standing there like a fool? Hurry up and greet Mr.Yanak!"

But Cherry was shocked, with her face as white as a sheet.She never expected that the banquet was held by Austin.

If she had known, she would never have come.

Austin finally noticed Cherry, who was standing beside Charles.

Cherry was on the edge when meeting his calm eyes.

But Austin seemed not to know Cherry at all.

He just nodded naturally, "Nice to meet you, Mrs.Laris."

Cherry was too shocked to say anything for a whole while.

Charles pinched her palm and whispered in her ear, "Cherry, what are you doing? Mr.Yanak is talking to you!"

Only then did Cherry recover and quickly lowered her head to avoid Austin's eyes, "Nice to meet you too, Mr.Yanak."

Austin glanced at Cherry silently and turned to leave.

"Take care, Mr.Yanak!" Charles said goodbye with a smile.

Waiting for Austin to disappear, Charles withdrew his smile.

He grabbed Cherry's arm and dragged her into the corridor.

"Charles, what are you doing? Let go of me! I'm pained!"

Charles shoved Cherry against the wall. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

His face darkened, "What am I doing? 'm gonna ask you the same question.What are you doing in front of Mr.Yanak? Are you trying to seduce him?"
