Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 78
“What? Grandma asked you to marry me?” Evan repeated Luci’s words as if he couldn’t believe what he just heard.
She nodded softly.
“Ehem, can you explain in detail what my grandmother said?” He asked again. His face was filled with very high curiosity.
Luci agreed to the request. Then Luci told him all that Grand Lady had done, and what she had said when she visited Luci’s flat.
Luci told in detail without exaggeration or subtraction in the slightest. Even she didn’t hesitate to say about Grand Lady who would drag her into her family if she didn’t marry Evan soon.
The problem here was that it was supposed to be a man marrying a woman, but Grand Lady instead asked Luci to marry Evan first.
After Luci finished her story, Evan shut his mouth in disbelief. This was all beyond expectations. His eyes were empty but also burning. His body froze and didn’t move at all.
“I know this is bad news for you too. But we must immediately straighten all this so that there are no misunderstandings.” Luci nodded seriously.
Usually, her clients only need to meet her with their fiancée. So their fiancée only needed to know that her client had many women.
In other words, Luci’s clients wanted to show that they were jerks and not worth marrying. So naturally, the prospective fiancés of her clients would decide the match by themselves.
But it’s different now. Luci had to meet the family of her client, especially since the meeting brought everything about marriage. She certainly didn’t want the misunderstanding to continue.
“How, sir? Should we just cancel this contract?”
“Brilliant,” Evan replied. But he wasn’t responding to her idea earlier. He was busy with his thoughts.
“Brilliant? So you agree to cancel this contract? Fine, I haven’t cashed the advance either.”
“No, it’s not like that. Our contract is going more smoothly than I thought. We have to have a follow-up meeting with my grandmother. I’ll send someone to help you fit the clothes.” Evan’s eyes lit up. In his brain, he had managed to cancel this matchmaking.
“What? But – but your grandmother misunderstood.”
“That’s exactly what I needed,” Evan interrupted. “Grandma must have misunderstood and believed that we had a relationship. That way my matchmaking can be canceled.” He nodded firmly.
That’s when Luci understood that she was already trapped in this matchmaking case.
“Ahem, Mister, I will give you some advice. My clients used to prefer getting rid of their fiancés rather than changing their parents’ decisions.
“So I just need to act intimately in front of your fiancé to make her angry and decide on an arranged marriage. Don’t you want to try that method? It’s less risky than making your grandmother believe I’m your lover.” Luci explained at length.
“You don’t understand my grandmother. She will continue to chase me until I die if necessary. She is an opponent I must beat.” Evan looked sourly at Luci’s gloomy wall.
“But isn’t this too risky? She even discussed everything about marriage.” Luci bit her lower lip restlessly. She was thirsty to get married someday to fulfill her promise to Hans, but of course, she didn’t want the marriage to be based on a contract.
For the wedding, she wants everything to be done with great seriousness. After all, it’s about a promise before God, right?
“That is easy. I’ll think about something else later. We will break up after meeting grandma. I don’t want to marry you either. You’re not my type. No Way!” Evan crossed his arms again.
Hearing that he seemed to be resisting well had made her finally feel relieved. At least her luck was getting better now.
“So when can we finalize this agreement? The problem is I already have another client.” Luci brought her position closer to Evan. She no longer felt threatened by him.
“One week should be enough. I will make a plan first so that we can break up in front of my grandmother.” Evan nodded, satisfied with his plan.
A few seconds later Luci’s cell phone rang. It came from Spider, via a video call.
“Sorry, I have to pick up the phone first,” said Luci then took the phone to the table. But before picking it up she said something else, “Could you please don’t talk when I call?”
“Who is he? Your boyfriend?” Evan’s face was a little sour, and he didn’t know why it happened to him.
“No. But please don’t talk.” Luci then went to the kitchen to pick up the call from Spider.
“Hello, Bee, sorry I called you so late because I saw you online so…” Spider giggled in embarrassment.
Luci did open WhatsApp earlier but she had no activity there. When Luci was online she was talking to Evan. That’s the chronology.
“Oh, I opened WhatsApp earlier, but because I was busy watching TV, I forgot about my cell phone,” Luci replied kindly.
While not far from her, Evan was already peeking and trying to see who she was calling. But unfortunately, Spider’s face was not seen by him. Even so, it didn’t stop him from eavesdropping.
“It’s not her boyfriend? Bulshit! Even her tone of voice is very different when she’s talking to that person,” Evan whispered. “Eh, what’s my business anyway?” Evan regained his senses and quickly went back to watching TV.
“So why did you call? How’s your head? Still sick?” asked Luci attentively.
“Erm, it’s cool. I’m sure my head would be fine if you were here.” Spider covered his mouth while laughing.
“All I remember is your head will hurt if you get close to me.” Luci didn’t mean anything.
“Hehe, maybe it just wants to be pampered. That’s it, I have to do some things here.”
“You don’t want to sleep? Isn’t it already midnight? What do you want to do?” asked Luci in succession.
“Eh, that… is there anyway. Uh, I can’t explain it to you now, Bee, I’ll explain later when I visit your flat. I’ll bring the ingredients and cook for you.” Spider laughed happily.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for you.” Luci nodded in agreement while flashing a smile. When he saw Luci’s sweet smile, Spider’s heart melted in an instant.
“Okay, I’ll go first. Eh but… erm, can I ask you something?” asked Spider a little sheepishly.
“What are you asking for? If I can give it then I will give it to you.”
“Erm, send me a voice note before you go to sleep. Just say have a nice dream and so on. Lately, I’ve been a bit afraid of sleeping alone, so I needed something that could put me to sleep.” Spider looked very hopeful.
“Okay, I’ll send you a voice note. Ok, it is finished? Hurry up, finish your business and go to sleep! You’ll get sick again if you stay up all night.”
“Yes, madam,” Spider replied sweetly.
“Okay, I’ll hang up the phone first. Good night.”
“Good night, Bee,” Spider ended, followed by the sound of a ‘tut’ on his phone.
Luci also turned off the phone, returned to the living room. But how surprised she was when he found Evan standing eavesdropping near the kitchen wall.
“What are you doing?” Luci caught Evan with a confused face. Immediately he turned pale and embarrassed.
