Episode 3

“Bah! Brat, she’s your wife! Why are you asking me if I’m satisfied with her? Miss, move a little closer to me. Let me have a good look at you.” Grace motioned Ariana to come closer.

Ariana took a quick look at the room before she moved her eyes back to the elegant old lady who was lying in the middle of the big bed. The old lady’s eyes were beautiful, but their beauty was eclipsed by the anger that shone in them. However, upon closer inspection, she discovered the old lady’s eyes were actually twinkling with mirth. It was quite apparent now that the old lady was only feigning anger. When she recalled the soft pillow that was aimed at Adrian, realization dawned on her. She quickly glanced at Adrian and discovered he looked both nervous and helpless.

When Ariana regained her senses, she calmly stepped forward and bowed. “Hello, grandma. I’m Ariana.”

When Ariana stood next to the bed, Grace reached out and held her hand.

With this, the servant, Lily, hurriedly brought a chair over and invited Ariana to take a seat.

In contrast to her treatment of Ariana, Grace rolled her eyes at Adrian, who was standing at the side, and waved her hand impatiently as she roared, “You’re blocking the light. Step aside!”

Adrian reluctantly moved aside, wondering where else he should stand in the 330-square-meter room.

Grace no longer minded Adrian as she held Ariana’s hand and looked at her carefully before saying in a gentle voice, “You’re so beautiful. Tell me, did my lawless grandson kidnap you?” Then, she patted Ariana’s hand and continued to say with a solemn expression on her face, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t take his side. Tell me the truth. I’ll teach him a lesson. Send him to the police station. I don’t want this grandson anymore”

Ariana patted Grace’s hand with her other hand and said softly with a smile on her face, “Grandma, Adrian didn’t kidnap me. Our marriage certificates are real. Here! You can take a closer look at them.”

Grace looked at the marriage certificates on the quilt and raised an eyebrow. “It’s a piece of cake for him to obtain fake marriage certificates.”

Ariana chuckled before she suggested, “You can ask someone to verify them online.”

Grace nodded. “I’ll investigate this thoroughly. I won’t allow him to fool me! Girl, how much did my grandson pay you?”

Ariana was startled when she heard Grace’s words.

Grace confidently made a counter offer. “As long as you tell the truth and admit that your marriage with him is a farce, I’ll pay you double of whatever he paid you.” After she finished speaking, she shot a triumphant look at her grandson who was standing next to her.

Adrian was rendered speechless by his grandmother’s words.

On the other hand, Ariana burst out laughing. “Grandma, you’re so cute.”

Grace’s eyes lit up when she heard Ariana’s words. “Oh, what a sweet talker! No one has ever praised me for being cute. Please tell me if he hired you. Did he fake marriage with you to fool me?”

Ariana giggled before she swiftly changed the topic. “Grandma, do you have trouble sleeping these days? Do you have nightmares often and are easily awakened? Do you feel drowsy? Do you lose your temper for no good reason every afternoon? How about your appetite? Do you feel hungry but have no appetite to eat?”

A stunned expression appeared on Grace’s face immediately upon hearing these questions.

On the other hand, Lily had an expression of amazement on her face. She looked at Ariana intently and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes. Old Madam has been facing these issues recently. How do you know this, miss? W-what’s your occupation?”

Ariana chuckled and said teasingly, “I’m a fortune-teller.”

Yu could not help but feel embarrassed when she heard Ariana’s reply.

At this moment, Adrian finally spoke up. “Grandma, Ariana is studying Chinese medicine; she’s a doctor. We are really married!”

Grace rolled her eyes at her grandson as she said, “So you didn’t bring me a granddaughter-in-law, but you brought me a doctor instead? How long have you known each other? If you’ve known each other for a while now, why didn’t you bring her to meet me when I first fell ill? Adrian, do you really treat me as a fool just because of my age?”

Adrian, who was at a loss for words, only muttered, “Grandma…”

At this moment, Ariana gently explained, “Grandma, it’s true that we don’t know each other for long…”

Grace glared at Adrian with an expression that seemed to say ‘I knew it’.

Ariana looked at Grace with clear and calm eyes as she continued to say, “Grandma, haven’t you ever felt as though you’ve known someone for a long time even though you’ve just met? The length of time we knew each other has nothing to do with us being married or not. What do you think?”

Grace’s eyes brightened as she held Ariana’s hand again and said, “Girl, I’m only worried that you’re being fooled by this punk. I forced him to find a girlfriend and even introduced girls to him, but he didn’t take me seriously at all. All of a sudden, he brought you over when I threatened to die if he continues being single. Isn’t this suspicious?”

“Grandma!” Adrian said through gritted teeth. However, he had no words to refute Grace.

Ariana remained calm as she said, “Grandma, it’s fine if you don’t believe us. Time reveals a person’s heart. We will prove it to you, okay? However, you have to get better before you can interrogate us. Why don’t I give you an injection so you can sleep better? In the meantime, I’ll cook something for you to eat. Would you like to try my cooking?”
