Chapter 4: If he bullies me, I’ll tell Grandpa. Grandpa can punish him!
****************************************************“Nina Lindsey.”Just as I was at a loss, Charles grabbed my hand. I almost stuck my nails in his flesh.Looking at the woman in front of us, Charles said with a frown, “Everyone in California knows that you and Mia do not get along. Stop pretending to be a friend here.”The smile on her face disappeared instantly.****Nina and Mia had the same piano teacher, but Mia had exceptional talent and left her far behind eight years ago.She had always been jealous of Mia and wished she could disappear from California City.Later, Mia was discovered by a piano master and became his last disciple.Since then, she and Mia have been two worlds apart.After that, Nina had never seen Mia again.But even so, she could tell that the woman in front of her was not Mia.“Young Master Smith, that’s an old story. Mia and I…”“Darling.”Immediately, Maria gently shook Charles' arm. She raised her head and looked at him acting cute, “I’m hungry.”Charles curved his lips, gently pinched her tender face with his fingers, and said, “Let me take you to eat.”After saying that, the two of them walked away as if Nina did not exist.Nina was angry. She looked at Maria’s back and slightly curled her lips in a mocking smile.She took out her phone, pretending to be searching for food. She secretly took photos of Charles and Maria.She did not have Mia’s number but she had her on F******k. She couldn’t directly contact Mia and lower herself, so she sent out a line of words.‘Young Master Smith is so gentle.’Below are several pictures, including one of Charles handing a piece of cake to ‘Mia’.There was also a picture of ‘Mia’ eating the cake and Charles using his fingers to affectionately wipe away the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth.After posting the pictures, she chuckled. A glance at Maria, she proudly shook her phone, then left.If this one was not the real Mia, she wondered how the real Mia would feel when she saw these photos.Heh…****After we left ‘Heaven on Earth’ and got in the car, my previously smiling face instantly turned gloomy.I glared fiercely at Charles, then shifted my butt, trying to create as much distance as possible between them in the car.Charles glanced at me. I was almost trying to embed myself inside the car door.The disdain for him was more than evident.He did not say anything. He just curved his lips and said to the driver, “Go to the old residence.”Old residence?I was instantly tightened again. I almost lost half of my life attending a banquet today. But now he wanted to take me to the old residence? Was he trying to scare me into a heart attack and death today?“Charles!”Charles furrowed his brows slightly.“Darling”I was angry!‘Darling?’ What kind of darling?Looking at Charles' handsome visage, I argued in annoyance, “Charles, do you think that you’re my husband just because I call you darling? Don’t forget that I’m not Mia.”Charles was instantly displeased. He turned around, and forcefully pressed me against the car door with both hands.Looking at my panicked face, Charles smirked evilly, “You can feel it yourself whether I’m your husband or not.”To feel it?Who wanted to feel it?I furrowed my brows and struggled hard, but I could barely free myself in Charles' hands. The sturdy man’s upper pressed me down, making it difficult for me to breathe. In the end, I could only give up.“Char…”Before I could finish, the man’s thin lips aggressively kissed me.***The chauffeur driving in front, Tom Jones, was Charles' driver and bodyguard and had been working for him for several years. He had never seen Young Master Smith so impatient with a woman before.He smirked soundlessly and kindly raised the car panel.It was very rare. Even an iron-willed person has moments of weakness. If Young Master Smith did not sleep with one or two women soon, everyone in the world would assume he was Charles' partner.Good luck to him…***“Mmm…”Just as I was about to suffocate, Charles finally let go of me.“Charles, you…”“If you dare to directly call my name again in the future, I’ll set you straight right here and now! Consider this a warning!”“Pfft…”I was so angry that I almost spat blood.I did not understand why Charles was so hung on ‘darling’.But looking at Charles' serious, warning-filled eyes, I knew very well that he would definitely follow through with his words.“You…”I felt uncomfortable being pressed down. “Get up first.”Third-person POV:Charles gave her a deep look, sat up straight, and lightly brushed his thumb over the corner of his lips.Heh…She tasted good.Maria did not see this action of his. After sitting up, she quickly began to fix her clothes and hair.After tidying up, she was about to say something, but Tom’s voice came from the front. “Young Master Smith, we’ve arrived at the old residence.”****I looked nervously out the car window. We had arrived so quickly?After getting out of the car, Charles grabbed my little hand and placed it in the crook of his arm.“My grandfather really likes Mia, so please be more affectionate with him later.”For the past two years, I had appeared in Charles's villa during Mia’s allocated time, but I had never been to the old residence. This was going to be my second time meeting Charles' grandfather since the wedding.I had always been friendly towards the elderly.Entering the house, we saw the old man sitting in an armchair, listening to a tune while hugging a cat. A warm smile appeared on Charles' cold face.“Grandpa, I’m back.”When the old man glanced over, I quickly put on a smile and sweetly called out, “Grandpa.”“Ah, Mia!”The old man’s face was full of smiles as he completely ignored Charles and waved at me. “Come over here, grandpa has not seen you for a while.”Two years ago, members of Smith's family did not discover that I was a fake bride, so I was not nervous now.I walked gracefully over, squatting beside the old man and tilting my beautiful face to meet his affectionate gaze.Old Master Smith was extremely delighted as he looked at me again and again. He appreciated me very much.“It’s all that brat's fault. He left you alone for two whole years as soon as you got married and went abroad. Mia, don’t worry, if he dares to leave this time, I’ll break his legs! I won’t let him bully you.”“Heh…”I turned my head to look at Charles and nodded with a smile, “Okay, if he bullies me, I’ll tell Grandpa. Grandpa can punish him!”“Grandpa…”Charles gave me a cold glance, then handed the marriage certificate to Old Master Smith. “The thing you have been urging me for two years, I brought it to you today.”I looked at the certificate. My heart skipped a beat.The name written on it was mine, not Mia’s.If Old Master Smith took a look, my secret was about to be exposed!Maria POV:At that moment, my phone suddenly buzzed. My tense heart jumped to my throat. I quickly took out my phone without even looking at the caller ID, I hung up the call and stared nervously at Old Master Smith. Old Master Smith Held the marriage certificate and examined it front and back. He touched it lovely as if it was his own marriage certificate. The smile in his eyes was so intense that it could overflow.“Great! This is great! My grandson is finally married and has a wife.” He said joyfully.After that, he slowly opened the certificate…I was so nervous that my eyes almost popped out. At that moment, my phone rang again.I wasn’t in the mood to answer the call, so I directly pressed the side button to silence the phone. Then I widened my eyes anxiously and stared at Old Master Smith flipping to the side with photos.I just felt like entering the ground. I felt doomed.My heart tightened. I almost collapsed to the ground, sweating and feeling cold at the same time. I had
Is this really for me or for Mia?********************************************Please note that the story will continue in Third person POV from now on.**********************************************Third person POV:Today, Maria was mentally exhausted. She had never felt so tired in her life.When she returned home, she kicked her slippers off and collapsed on the bed.Charles walked in and saw her lying on the bed in various positions. He threw his suit jacket onto the sofa, took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.In no time, he came out, wearing pajamas with a slightly open collar, revealing his enticing collarbone and well-defined chest muscles. Even if Maria couldn’t see the lower part, she could imagine his unbelievably perfect figure.No! She shook her head slightly.Maria sat up from the bed, looking at Charles walking towards the bedside. She nervously asked, “You’re sleeping here?”Charles glanced at her sideways. “If not, where will I sleep?”Maria stared at him shoc
Next Time, I Will Make You Suffer More!**************************A sudden storm was brewing in Charles' previously tranquil eyes. Maria widened her eyes in fear, not knowing what she had done to offend him.Maria just saw him walking towards her step by step with a cold face. She immediately retreated in horror. “Charles, w-what are you doing?”Charles immediately increased his speed. Maria continuously backed away until her body hit the iron door behind her, leaving her with no way to retreat anymore.With a ‘slap’, Charles puts his arms forcefully beside Maria’s ears, trapping her body between himself and the iron door.He looked at her with a serious eyes.Maria swallowed hard, “Charles…”“Dare you to call my name?”Maria quickly change her words, “darling…”Looking at his cold face, she felt a bit wronged. “What did I do to make you upset?”Everything was just fine then.A sinister curve appeared on Charles thin lips. Her pink cherry-like lips were opening and closing, shining i
God! What Did I Just See?**********************************At 9:55pm, on the most remote Deer Bend Lane in California city.Because it was in the outskirts and the road was a mountain path, there were usually few people here, and it was the favorite place for street racers in California city.A man dressed in luxury brands from head to toe, sat slanted on the front of the car and impatiently asked Sam, “Didn’t you say someone else was coming to challenge me? Where is he?”Sam was scared and sweating profusely. They had agreed on 10 pm with Summer. Why hadn’t she arrived yet?Could she have gone to borrow a car at the last minute?He walked up and smiled, nodding and bowing, “Young Master Warren, there are still a few minutes left. Please wait a little bit longer…”“Fu@k!”Young Master Warren jumped off the car and kicked Sam’s leg, “Make me wait for him? Such a big air he put on. Is he trying to get on my nerves?”Sam was forced to take several steps back from the kick and barely ma
Which Young Master Smith??*********************************Maria’s heart sank immediately. She didn’t expect that Young Master Warren could be so shameless.Sam was so scared that his legs became weak. He grabbed Maria’s hand as his legs started shaking. “Summer, what should we do?”“Young Master Warren!”Maria pulled Sam behind her and stood in front of Young Master Warren, slightly raising her chin, defiantly locking eyes with him.“Can’t you handle losing?”Young Master Warren smirked and laughed with a lot of disdain, “Ha-ah-ah…, young girl, when I was out there making a name for myself, you were still cuddling in your mother’s arms. Your provocation is useless to me! Don’t try to struggle. Be my girl. I can give you a lot of whatever you want.”After saying this, he waved his hand towards his men. Those men, looking like wolves seeing a little white rabbit, smirked and walked towards Maria.Even in this situation, Maria did not show any panic on her face. She looked at Young Ma
Can You Blame Me For Not Telling You In Advance?********************************Charles stood by the car door, his deep gaze looking towards Maria. When he saw Young Master Warren’s fat hand grabbing Maria’s wrist, he got mad in an instant.He raised his hand and gently waved it towards Young Master Warren’s direction. The group of men dressed in black behind him immediately ran aggressively towards Young Master Warren and his gang.Young Master Warren was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. The men beside him were even more terrified with their legs trembling.Of all the people to come, why did it have to be Charles, the new noble of San Diego!This was going to be a death sentence!Young Master Warren, like a cat with its tail stepped on, let go of Maria and jumped up to run.Maria only felt a gust of wind passing by her, then she heard the cries of Young Master Warren and his people.“Ah…it hurts! Be gentle, please!”“Don’t hit me. Don’t hit me. I won’t run…”Yo
Everyone Knows That Mia is Your Wife, Not Me!*******************************The car entered the villa. Charles grabbed Maria’s hand and rushed into the bathroom, then pushed her in.“Remove it!”Maria looked at her face in the mirror. She thought that Charles probably did not like the look. After all, Mia had always been elegant and noble, while she dressed like a thug, which was unacceptable in Charles' eyes.“Okay.”Maria picked up the makeup remover and slowly removed her makeup. After washing her face, she turned around and looked at Charles without any makeup, “I’m done washing.”Charles gritted his teeth fiercely. Immediately, he grabbed Maria’s hand, placing it under the faucet and rinsed it with water. He then applied hand soap and continued to wash Maria’s hands repeatedly.Maria stared at him blankly because she realized that Charles was washing the spot where Young Master Warren had grabbed her.He made her wash it. Could it be that he did not want her to remove her makeu
This Car Cost At least 1million Dollars, right?**************************Looking at her proud face, Charles was amused, “So, who is living with me?”Maria was struck dumb, unable to respond.It was true. No matter who everyone knew as Charles' wife, it was her who was living with him.She bit her lips in frustration and suddenly felt less confident.Even if she was coerced, it was her name listed on the marriage certificate with Charles.Maria was furious, her cheeks ballooning like a puffer fish. Charles reached out and forcefully pinched her puffed- up face with his slender fingers, “So, Maria, you should only feel natural when spending my money.”“Ouch…”Maria yelped in pain. She raised her hand to slap his hands away. Then she gently rubbed her own sore cheeks, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.Who hated money?He voluntarily gave it to her. She did not steal it or snatch it. And he seemed unhappy when she rejected his money.“Fine.”Maria tightly grasped the credit ca
