"Take these things back!"
Travis hitchhiked and let Lamar Hunter take back everything.
"What?!"
Not only Lamar Hunter, even his mother and sister were completely caught off guard!
"These things are worth millions, are you really not taking them?"
Lamar Hunter couldn't help but confirm again.
To him, ten million was nothing, but to Travis's family, it was an astronomical figure!
"Well, I don't want them!"
Travis firmly said, "My father had taught me that one should not accept rewards without merit. Helping you is just a small matter and I cannot accept your gifts!"
Seeing his younger brother's high principles, Mariana sighed helplessly.
Katherine was even more worried. With this, when will her son be able to get married?
"Haha, good!"
But Lamar Hunter nodded excitedly and took the things back.
Afraid that his granddaughter wouldn't believe him, he showed Avalynn the entire recording of the process.
"Avalynn! I knew that man could withstand the test, right?"
"May the loser abide by the bet, you will marry him immediately and give birth to a great-grandchild for me!"
Lamar Hunter forcefully arranged the marriage.
Avalynn remained silent, but she was known for being efficient in her work. Since she lost her grandfather, she will take care of this matter tomorrow. Otherwise, her ears would never be at peace again.
The next morning, Travis received a strange phone call.
"Young man, since you won't accept gifts, how about I introduce a wife to you? Will you resist that?"
Upon hearing this voice, Travis knew it was that strange old man from yesterday.
"Old man, are you part of some scamming group? Is this a new scamming trick?"
Travis asked with a smile.
He certainly didn't think Lamar Hunter was a fraud, judging from his demeanor alone, that old man was definitely wealthy!
But what did he see in him? What was his intention?
"Haha, there is a trick! I just want to find you a wife. Are you scared?"
Lamar Hunter deliberately provoked.
"I'm not scared of any tricks, and I'm definitely not scared of the trick of getting married!"
Travis replied seriously.
After eighteen failed blind dates yesterday, he was almost annoyed to death by his mother!
Now, as long as someone is willing to marry him, regardless of gender, as long as it's a female creature, he would probably marry!
"Then bring your documents and go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"
Lamar Hunter instructed.
Sure, why not?
Who's afraid?
Travis set off directly!
According to Lamar Hunter, the other party was a corporate executive, a beauty in a bustling mall. Travis didn't have much expectations for her looks.
As a pre-gynecologist, he had no curiosity about women's bodies, so he wasn't interested in her figure either.
His only requirement was that her character shouldn't be too bad!
At least not like Jazlyn!
But when they met at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was completely stunned.
It was actually Avalynn!
Her temperament was very cold, sitting in a red convertible, clearly a rich and beautiful woman. However, no matter how beautiful she was, no one dared to approach her and strike up a conversation!
"What are you standing there for? Come over!"
With just a glance, Avalynn made Travis obediently approach.
This woman was indeed a big corporate executive, her aura was so strong!
"Miss Avalynn, do you want to marry me?"
Travis still couldn't believe it.
"What? You don't want to?"
Avalynn frowned, her whole body exuding a cold aura that ordinary people couldn't bear!
"I do! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come!"
Surprisingly, Travis's heart was beating faster, he didn't know if it was excitement or fear.
Avalynn was undoubtedly a disaster to the country and the people, but it seemed difficult to get along with her?
However, he only wanted a marriage for show, whether it was difficult or not was not something he was considering at the moment.
"Let's go inside, let's make it quick!"
Avalynn stepped forward with long legs and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau. As someone who preferred to be alone, she would get married alone too!
Fortunately, Travis's legs were not short either, and he quickly caught up with her.
"Do you want to reconsider? You can still back out now!"
Before the registration, Avalynn reminded him again.
Of course, she hoped Travis would back out because she didn't want this marriage in the first place. If Travis backed out, her grandfather couldn't force her anymore!
"Miss Avalynn, with your coldness, why do you seem like so nagging?"
Travis said calmly.
Avalynn's icy gaze suddenly sharpened, like a knife that almost cut a piece out of Travis.
"Then you better not regret it in the future!"
This was the last thing Avalynn said to him before getting married.
Ten minutes later, they obtained their marriage certificate and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
They didn't say a word throughout the whole process. Avalynn's face remained cold, making the staff at the registration office suspect if this was a divorce or a wedding.
"Marriage to you is just me fulfilling my promise to my grandfather!"
"Don't take this marriage too seriously, don't care about me. Whatever you used to do, continue doing it after marriage!"
"Even if you go find other women, I won't care."
Avalynn's tone remained cold.
Travis felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but couldn't help but smile.
Did Avalynn say the wrong lines?
Shouldn't this be something a scumbag would say to a woman?
"Oh, by the way, I remember you saying that you haven't a house yet?"
Avalynn suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Travis nodded, and she handed him a bunch of keys.
As the female CEO of Timberlight Group, she was meticulous in her work and prepared in advance.
"What does this mean?"
Travis asked.
"In this society, it is still a man's society. After marrying, the wife goes to the husband's house to live. But I will never go to your house, so this is our marital home. You can go live there in the future, but I probably won't go home much!"
Avalynn's one sentence had two meanings, allowing Travis to fully experience how cold this woman could be.
"Why do I feel like I have a sugar mommy?"
Travis hesitated for a moment to safeguard his dignity as a man.
"Take it!"
With just a glance from Avalynn, he had no choice but to accept it.
Indeed, she was worthy of being a high-ranking executive of a large company, her presence was so strong!
"Okay, I'll take the easy way out, I'm so lucky!"
Travis had to compromise. They were already married, so it was only self-inflicted to create such an awkward situation.
"Goodbye!"
Avalynn threw out those two words and turned to leave.
"Miss Avalynn, wait!"
Travis grabbed her wrist, but with a glance back from Avalynn, he felt as though his hand had been cut and quickly let go as if being electrocuted.
"Is there anything else?"
Avalynn spoke coldly, she didn't like people who dragged things out, especially men.
"Three things!"
Marriage indeed affected each other, Travis immediately began speaking in accordance with Avalynn's pace:
"First, let's exchange contact information so that we can easily get in touch. Don't refuse, you got married to deal with your grandfather, and I also did it to deal with my mother. If she ever asks about you, I need to be able to find you, right?"
Although Avalynn was cold, she was reasonable. She furrowed her brows and took out her phone, instructing him, "Scan it."
Ding!
After adding each other on w******p, Travis continued, "Second, I will give you 3,000 dollars each month. You can consider it as rent or as a promise I made when we were arranged to meet."
Avalynn immediately found it amusing, her smile was somewhat contemptuous.
To her, 3,000 dollars was not even worth mentioning.
However, she didn't refuse this man either.
"Third, what do you plan to do about our intimate life as a married couple?"
Travis suddenly asked seriously.
