MARRIED TO MY CUTE WIFE

Getting married

Aria Bennett saw Old Master cross’s expression and instantly felt that this might work out. Although she did not know why the cross family had taken a fancy to her, a wealthy and influential family could not possibly accept a rude and ugly woman as their daughter-in-law, right?

Mr. Bennett took the opportunity to speak. “I’m sorry, Old Master cross. We’ve spoiled our dear aria. Our spoiling her was inevitable. I’ll get someone to return the gifts you sent over yesterday to the cross residence later. The marriage you mentioned earlier is also...”

“It’s okay. I like this aria girl.” Old Master cross put down the photo. His gaze was sharp and penetrating.

Aria Bennett’s heart clenched. She felt that Old Master cross had seen right past her ridiculous disguise. She calmed down and was about to speak when Old Master Cross said, “I have something I want to say to Aria alone. Look...”

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett hesitated. Aria Bennett secretly tugged on Mrs. Bennett’s arm. Only then did Mrs. Bennett say, “Sure, I happen to feel a little restless. Hubby, let’s go for a walk.”

After Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Bennett left, Aria Bennett pulled a chair out and sat down. Her behavior seemed rude and inconsiderate, but it was not annoying. One could disguise one’s appearance, but one could not disguise one’s eyes.

Old Master Cross stared into Aria Bennett’s striking eyes for a while. “Little girl, do you not want to marry into the Cross family? Do you know...”

“Representatives of the Cross family don’t need you to say much. I believe that everyone in the capital is aware of the Cross family’s status.” Aria Bennett’s back was stiff. “I don’t like to beat around the bush. Although I don’t know why you like me, I really don’t want to marry into the Cross family. If you want to use wealth and power to tempt me, I’ll make myself absolutely clear that I won’t marry. If you use your influence to threaten me...”

Old Master Cross raised his eyebrows and waited for her next words with interest.

Aria Bennett smiled as she played with the cup on the table. “If I’m thinking of myself, no matter how much you use power to threaten me, it’s pointless. No one can force me to do things that I don’t want to do. If I’m forced to comply, I might even bite off a chunk of your family’s wealth. However, I have parents. I can’t let the wealth that they have worked so hard for in the majority of their lives disappear just because of a moment of impulse. I also don’t want them to lead a wandering life because of me at their age. So, if you decide to choose me, I can’t resist you. I can only agree to get married.”

“You’re a sensible little girl.” Old Master Cross stroked his beard. “I think July 16th is a good date. Let’s set the wedding date on this day.” He knew that Aria Bennett did not want to marry into the Cross family. However, the master said that his second son, dominic Cross, was destined to marry Aria Bennett. For his son’s sake, and because he was already so old, he could only shamelessly threaten the little girl.

Things were exactly as Aria Bennett had expected. If she had succeeded in persuading Old Master Cross, the feared Cross family would not have lived up to its reputation. She accepted her fate and wiped her face. “Alright, I can get married, but I have a condition.”

Old Master Cross said, “Tell me.”

Aria Bennett said, “According to the normal procedure of a blind date, apart from the parents, the husband and wife should also be present. However, your son did not show up, which means that he is not satisfied with this marriage. I have no control over the internal affairs of the Cross family, nor do I care about the strained relationship between a father and a son. I am just a little unlucky that I was forced into your fight. So... I need you to guarantee the safety of my parents and my family’s company, Old Master Cross.” She did not want to become collateral damage from the Ji family’s disagreements.

This condition was not difficult to fulfill. Old Master Cross nodded. “Fine, you have my word.”

......

After Mr. and Mrs. Bennett came back, they heard that Aria Bennett’s wedding date had been set. Their jaws dropped.

Aria Bennett smiled at them. “Father, mother, now you don’t have to worry that I won’t be able to get married in the future.”

In the CEO’s office of the Cross Corporation, the man who was working behind the desk had a cold, handsome face. His gaze was sharp, and his eyebrows were subtly menacing. The bridge of his nose was high, and his thin lips were distinct. He was unapproachable.
