Chapter 417 - 417 The so-called marriage 2

Chapter 417: The so-called marriage 2 Chapter 417: The so-called marriage 2 Victoria Garcia, who had always been good at keeping her emotions in check, had recently become increasingly moody in front of Arnold Johnson. Even though she has noticed, she might not be aware that it’s because she’s coming to trust and care about him more and more.

Arnold Johnson teased her with a smile, “So, which wife do you want to be?”

The more he smiled, the angrier Victoria became, and she snapped at him: “I want to be the only wife.”

“Haha…” Arnold laughed, took her hand, and said very seriously, deeply, and happily: “Alright, I promise.”

“Then, when you go back to Metropolis, you’d better divorce them all,” Victoria seemed determined to push her luck.

Arnold looked at her with a smile, her eyebrows knitted together, her lips involuntarily pursed – it was such a cute look. He couldn’t help but say: “I didn’t know you looked so adorable when you’re jealous.”

“It’s not just cute, I can get so angry that I hit people. Are you scared?” Victoria said, pretending to hit him.

Arnold immediately played along, shrinking his head slightly and begged: “I’m so scared, so scared!”

He even acted scared, patting his chest; it was funny, Victoria turned her anger into laughter and couldn’t help but laugh.

Arnold took advantage of her laughter and sat down beside her, embracing her in his arms, and said seriously, “Victoria, the so-called rumors are half-true and half-false.”

“So which parts are true and which are false?” Victoria didn’t push him away but lay quietly in his arms, feeling a sense of security in his embrace.

Every time she leaned on him, Victoria felt like a silly teenage girl because she unconditionally believed whatever he said at those moments.

“It’s true that three women live in the Johnson Old Mansion, but it’s not accurate to call them the first and second wives,” Arnold hesitated, not knowing how to describe their relationship.

Victoria followed up on his comment with another question: “What do you mean by ‘not accurate’?”

She seemed to have a vague understanding of the situation – just like how there were gray areas between black and white in the world. But weren’t things either true or false?

Arnold gently pinched her hand, enjoying the soft and smooth feeling. It was comforting and calming to him.

“Chloe Johnson and I did have an engagement, and we even had a wedding ceremony, but our marriage is not legal because we didn’t get a certificate,” Arnold tried to simplify the topic as much as possible.

“If you had a wedding ceremony, why didn’t you get a certificate?” Victoria was both surprised and curious.

At the same time, a thought occurred to her: Did Arnold and Chloe have marital relations? She unexpectedly felt a little jealous.

Jealous that another woman had experienced a wedding with him.

Arnold’s eyes were evasive; this was something that happened many years ago, but he knew very clearly that the wedding was just a scam, and he was just a pawn in it.

After a long time, Arnold remained silent. Victoria wondered if he was reminiscing about the past or thinking about how to explain the situation…

Victoria didn’t continue to ask questions or disturb Arnold’s thoughts but quietly lay beside him, waiting for him to continue once he had gathered his thoughts.
