TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE - Season 2 Episode 29

“Ah, I’m so sorry!” Samantha apologized right away.

“It’s fine.”

The person’s voice was exceptionally mellifluous, flowing into her ears like a clear spring flowing through the mountains. It was very pleasant to listen to such a voice.

Samantha could not help but look up.

An extremely petite and delicate face was the first thing Samantha laid eyes on. The woman’s lush hair, which was left untied, added an extra layer of personality.

Samantha had seen no shortage of good-looking people since she was young. The benchmark for men was Timothy, while for women it had to be Rochelle. Few people could amaze Samantha at first glance, but that unknown woman was one such person. Samantha’s eyes lit up resoundingly when she saw the woman.

There was a certain pure and unadulterated charm to that woman, unlike Rochelle’s high-profile and in-your-face kind of beauty. Simply looking at that woman made one feel as though the entire world had turned quiet, almost like there was an eternal calmness.

That was probably the kind of face that man’s first love would possess.

Samantha gawked for a second before realizing that her actions were impolite. She immediately stopped looking and squatted down to pick up the ID card and plane ticket, which she handed over as she apologized once more. “I’m really sorry. You’re not injured, are you?”

“Not at all.”

The woman smiled and shook her head. Her slender fingers tucked a wayward lock of hair behind her ear and she reached out to take the ID card and ticket. “Thank you, Ms. Larsson.”

Samantha could not hide her surprise.

She had no idea who the woman in front of her was. Such beauty would almost certainly leave a lasting impression on Samantha if they had met before.

How did that woman know that Samantha’s last name was Larsson?

“You, how do you know my name?”

A hint of trepidation, fleeting though it was, appeared in the woman’s eyes. However, she replied in a very natural manner, “I know because Mr. Barker revealed his marriage to you in a rather high-profile manner a few days ago.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.”

It was logical, considering how Samantha’s marriage with Timothy had spent a few days making the headlines of all the news outlets.

The woman smiled at Samantha again. “Goodbye then.”

“Ah, okay, goodbye.”

The woman dragged her luggage and turned around to leave.

Samantha looked at the woman’s rear figure and gasped in awe at such elegance and beauty. The woman was very unlike her because she had been a carefree and spirited girl ever since she was a child.

That so-called ladylike temperament was instilled into her by her mother in order to make her more marriageable to a wealthy family in the future. A teacher had once been hired to teach her, but that was the one thing she was never able to pick up on, despite being a quick learner when it came to other things. For that reason, she often had to bear the brunt of her mother’s scolding.

It was only after she got together with Timothy that her mother finally did not care about that anymore and stopped forcing her to learn it.

“What are you looking at?” Timothy’s voice rang suddenly in her ears.

Samantha came to her senses right away and looked up to see Timothy’s dark pupils.

She replied without much thought, “I accidentally ran into a really pretty woman earlier!”

“Oh.”

Timothy responded indifferently and showed little interest. He could not even be bothered to look in that direction and merely said to her, “Let’s go.”

Go? Go where?

Samantha no longer talked about the woman and turned her attention back to him. She did not move from her spot and merely stared at Timothy while asking, “Can you tell me now, Timothy? Where are you going to take me? What do you want to—”

Before she could finish speaking, Timothy had already lost his patience. He grabbed her wrist again in a manner that was slightly more forceful than earlier and dragged her to the VIP boarding gate.

Since Timothy was a top-tier VIP, he was allowed to go through a special lane. Samantha had already been dragged onto the plane and seated down inside before she could even manage to figure out what was going on.

The flight attendant walked over and asked politely, “Mr. and Mrs. Barker, is there anything you’d like to drink?”

Timothy responded carefreely, “Coffee for me.”

He glanced at still shell-shocked Samantha and said to the attendant on her behalf, “Lemonade for the wife.”

“Alright, one moment please.” The flight attendant walked away.

Samantha finally regained her ability to think and turned to look at Timothy. “Can you tell me now?”

Timothy casually gave a two-word reply, “A vacation.”

“…Why are you bringing me on a vacation so suddenly?” Samantha was speechless. “And I didn’t even bring anything either.”

She did not pack any luggage nor brought her bag. All she had was her cell phone.

He ignored her first question and only answered her second one, “You can buy whatever you need there.”

Samantha frowned. “But Corey—”

“The caregiver will take care of him.”

Timothy then leaned over all of a sudden, prompting Samantha to step back slightly. However, she merely saw him stretching out his hand to buckle her seat belt.

Did he just go ahead with everything and before even getting her approval?

He got angry all of a sudden that morning and left, but by the time he came back in the afternoon, he immediately dragged her to go on a vacation. Just how divergent were that man’s thoughts?

Samantha was still very puzzled and asked again. “Why are we going on vacation all of a sudden?”

“Keep it down.”

Timothy muttered those three words in a low voice, then leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes for a nap.

“You…”

Samantha felt a little annoyed. Why did he always do things according to his whims and fancies?

However, she forcibly put a halt to whatever words she was about to spit out after seeing the faint greenish rings under his eyes.

She would never be able to coax Timothy into saying something he did not want to say, and besides, she might even get pissed off if he opened his mouth and spoke.

There was nothing she could do other than to accept it. After all, she was already up inside the plane.

Samantha had slept well the night before and Timothy forced her to sleep with him the entire morning. As a result, she was very energetic at the moment and did not feel sleepy at all.

She flipped through the magazines and read the newspapers until she finally became bored.

As she glanced at the peacefully asleep Timothy, the beautiful woman she ran into earlier popped up suddenly in her mind.

She seemed to have heard that woman’s voice before.

It sounded like the female voice in Timothy’s video earlier that morning.

Samantha could not help but shake her head as soon as that idea popped up. She probably only made that kind of association because she was too bored.

Samantha ignored it, switched on the television, then put on her earplugs and watched a random movie.

…

It took more than ten hours before the plane landed.

Samantha was already tired from all the sitting and stretched her waist as soon as she unfastened her seat belt. Meanwhile, Timothy opened his eyes with perfect timing, as if he had a built-in alarm clock in his sleep.

The two people got off the plane and went through the exclusive lane. They exited the airport in no time and got into the car that was waiting for them.

It was already evening there and it just so happened that the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the horizon, making for a beautiful sight.

Samantha looked out the window for a while and felt that the place was a little familiar. A thought suddenly occurred to her and she looked back at Timothy. After a few seconds of hesitation, she asked, “Are we on Barrkjaer Island, Timothy?”

Timothy looked askance at her and replied faintly, “Yes.”

Unable to hold back the shock and astonishment, Samantha’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.
