Chapter 6: Entrust

They had gotten married on the first day of their blind date.

Announcing this news was as shocking as dropping a bomb.

However, when the words were spoken by Marcellus, it somehow felt as if there was nothing wrong with it, and it was just a simple and ordinary situation.

On the other hand, Scarlette was extremely anxious. She was on high alert as she stared closely at Molly's expression, preparing to run at any moment.

Unexpectedly, after a short period of silence, Marco and Molly both came to their senses and spoke in unison, "Well, this is good news."

This...

Did she hear that correctly?

Scarlette's wide eyes shifted back and forth between Marco and Molly as she thought to herself.

"Dad, Mom, are you..." not mad?

Marco and Molly did not pay attention to Scarlette. On the contrary, they started communicating with Marcellus about entrusting Scarlette to him.

Marco took Scarlette's petite hand and placed it in Marcellus' palm.

"Marcellus, we'll have to trouble you to take care of her. Scarlette is always careless, but she has her strengths. She is kind, lovely, and pure."

When Scarlette's hand landed in Marcellus' hand, a numbing sensation spread throughout her body as if she had been electrocuted.

Her face flushed red in an instant and she lowered her head in mortification.

Marcellus didn't make any promises and simply replied, "Professor, you can rest assured."

These few words made Scarlette feel warm and safe for no reason. She secretly glanced at Marcellus from the corner of her eye.

Sure enough, a good-looking man would look perfect no matter from which angle he was gazed at.

The meal ended perfectly.

Scarlette walked behind Marcellus to send him off.

Looking at his tall figure, Scarlette's cheeks couldn't help but blush red.

Her thoughts flew back to the scene from earlier.

She had thought that her parents would get mad and throw a fit, but they did not.

It was all because of this man.

At this thought, Scarlette stole another glance at Marcellus's figure. Then, her gaze fell on Marcellus's hand with the ring on it.

Her heart began to beat wildly once again, and her hand, which had touched Marcellus' earlier, started to feel hot.

She didn't expect that Marcellus, who was like an iceberg would have such a warm hand that gave her a sense of security.

It seemed that as long as he was by her side, nothing would be a problem for her.

Just like how they had gotten married without needing any documents.

Scarlette couldn't help but sigh. Marcellus Yeager was simply too powerful!

She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't notice Marcellus stopping.

Hence, Scarlette's head bumped into his firm back. She let out a yelp of surprise. When she raised her head again, she felt so embarrassed that she quickly took a few steps back.

Marcellus turned around and looked at her. He handed a golden card to her, saying, "If it is not enough, let me know. The pin number is six 0s."

Under the street light, his chilly face looked much gentler, and even his eyes were less cold.

"Is-Is this for me?" Scarlette stuttered as she took the card. Staring at the gold card in her hand, she was in disbelief.

It was Marcellus' gold card. It must contain an unimaginable sum of money!

The money-obsessed look was evident on her face, and Marcellus caught that look completely.

At this moment, Ethan arrived in a car to pick Marcellus up.

Glancing at Scarlette, who was still immersed in her own thoughts, Marcellus couldn't restrain a grin from spreading on his seductive lips.

However, his faint smile disappeared in a flash. His face soon returned to his usual indifference.

Marcellus got in the car. He rolled down the window and said to Scarlette calmly, "I will come and pick you up tomorrow. We'll go to our new home."

"Huh?" Only then did Scarlette return to her senses. But when she looked up, Marcellus had already rolled the window back up and the car drove away.

He didn't give Scarlette any time to process his words at all.

It was a few seconds later when Scarlette finally understood the meaning of his words.

Did Marcellus mention their new home?

"Our new home."

Scarlette held the gold card and repeated his words in her mind. Her face was flushed again.
