Chapter 4 Give Me Back My Fiancé

Alonso's mouth twitched, "Where do I go find it?"

Zoey's gaze fell on Russell in the wheelchair and she said, "Since there is an engagement, it doesn't say who it has to be with. So, I want Russell!"

Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips.

Just now Russell said he wasn't interested in women, isn't that asking for trouble!

Moreover, although Russell held a high position and had an exquisite appearance, he was impotent. Marrying him would clearly mean living as a widow!

Is Miss Harmon from the Harmon family out of her mind?

The air seemed as if it had stopped flowing, unusually quiet.

The entire banquet hall could only hear the sound of Russell lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.

Under the crystal chandelier, the man's pupils turned amber, as if they had merged with the snow, clear and beautiful, unlike those of a real person.

Suddenly, his slender fingers paused, and he glanced at Zoey's delicate eyebrows, raising them slightly. His voice was cold and clean, "I agree."

Troy's eyes flickered with surprise for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

The crowd: "..."

Weren't you uninterested just now?

How did this change so quickly?

Zoey's eyes twinkled with a triumphant smile, and she immediately lowered her gaze and pursed her lips, concealing this joy.

Russell stared at her with his dark eyes. After a moment, he spoke gently, "Come here."

Zoey walked up to him, obediently and meekly.

Russell looked at the slender and fair wrist, took off the string of sandalwood beads on his wrist and put it on Zoey's wrist, then held Zoey's hand and led her to his side.

That Buddhist bead was Russell's personal belonging, symbolizing his social status.

He presented the Buddhist beads to Zoey, which meant he acknowledged her.

In the past life, Russell also wore the Buddhist beads on her wrist, except that she was already a lifeless body at that time, unable to feel the warmth of the man on the beads.

Now, she finally felt that every bead was so warm, warming her heart.

The man's palm was warm and solid, giving her a sense of security as he enveloped her small hand completely.

Zoey's heart pounded rapidly, and her face instantly flushed with a tinge of red.

Russell looked at Nelson on the stage with a gloomy expression, his voice cold and icy, "Get your ass over here."

Nelson took a cold breath and walked down the stage to stand in front of Russell.

"Russell, I am sorry."

Then he looked at Zoey and said, "Zoey, don't be mad at me, and don't make fun of Russell."

Zoey firmly said, "I wasn't angry, and I wouldn't joke about Russell."

Russell?

Russell's lips curved into a satisfied smile, but when he looked at Nelson, his voice turned cold and deep, "You should address her as your auntie."

Fiancée turned auntie?

Nelson felt that Zoey was deliberately embarrassing him, and would rather marry someone who was  impotent and disabled than forgive him.

He cheated on her, so she made him descend in rank to be her nephew.

All the plans were disrupted, and the current situation, he couldn't salvage it either, so he could only summon courage and call out, "Auntie."

Russell nodded contentedly and squeezed the girl's hand. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

The man's voice was magnetic and gentle, and Zoey felt like her ears were going to get pregnant from how pleasing it was.

How could she be so indifferent in the past life?

Perhaps she had identified her savior and naturally excluded others, or perhaps her heart was focused on another project that had started, and she was contemplating how to steal the secrets.

Because Russell had a hacker who was just as good as her.

Although she won every time, it seemed like the opponents were deliberately letting her win.

Zoey snapped back to reality and nodded at Nelson, saying, "Since things have come to this point, you better treat my sister well. Tonight's engagement banquet will be considered yours and Ariana's engagement banquet. You can exchange engagement rings."

Nelson: "..."

Ariana: "..."

The crowd: The Miss from the Harmon family is so generous!

Zoey lightly scratched the man's palm and whispered, "I'm done."

The itchiness spread from the palm to the tip of the heart, and Russell's Adam's apple rolled along with it.

He looked at Matteo and respectfully said, "Grandfather, Zoey and I have something to discuss."

Matteo snapped out of his shock and said, "Oh sure, go have a good talk."

Alonso chuckled twice and said, "Ah, yes! You can talk all night!"

Zoey had a hard time holding back the urge to laugh as she watched Matteo and Alonso's silly and adorable antics.

Russell said softly, releasing the girl's hand, "Let's go."

"Okay," Zoey pushed the wheelchair towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

She didn't forget to turn around and remind Troy, "Could you please help me get my handbag from the dressing room?"

Troy, "Yes."

As the three figures disappeared from sight, the crowd began to discuss animatedly.

Marlene blinked and asked Alonso, "Has the granddaughter-in-law turned into a daughter-in-law?"

Alonso stroked his white beard, with a smug expression on his face, "Isn't it! Are you thrilled?"

Marlene couldn't stop smiling, "Of course, I have become a grandmother again! However, Nelson and Ariana..."

Alonso waved his hand and said, "Consider them engaged, it's simply embarrassing. Dismiss the guests and return to the old mansion!"

The guests dispersed, but these photos and videos also spread out...

In a black Maybach car.

Russell leaned towards Zoey, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Sit closer."

Zoey approached and sat directly on the man's lap.

Russell raised an eyebrow abruptly, "I asked you to sit closer, not this close."

Zoey wrapped her hands around the man's neck and tilted her head, laughing, "But you didn't make it clear either!"

Russell squinted his eyes, "Did you make the photos and videos?"

Zoey blinked her clear eyes and admitted directly, "Yes. If they dare to do it, I dare to expose it. I'm not a tombstone that needs to have a green light shining on top of my head!"

"Why did you choose me?"

Zoey was very serious, "Because you are good."

"What's good?"

“Everything!”

Russell chuckled lightly and said, "Even disability, huh?"

Zoey remembered her past life, and her soul saw that Russell's leg had healed.

She had never thought about treating Russell's illness, so she had never taken his pulse.

But he hid it so well, sitting in the wheelchair all day, she didn't notice any flaws.

She thought that if Nelson knew she had medical skills, he would definitely make her harm Russell, but she wouldn't do that. Learning medicine is for saving people, not harming them. She has this moral boundary.

She was unsure if Russell had fully recovered at the present moment, so she took the opportunity to hold the man's hand and gently caress his knuckles all the way to his pulse.

Russell's blood circulation was normal, so there should have been no problem with his lower limbs. The reason he didn't reveal his physical recovery must have been due to his own plans.

If he doesn't bring it up, then she'll play along and pretend she doesn't know.

It's just that there were two streams of hot and cold air colliding inside his body, which would cause serious damage to his body if it continued for a long time.

Although in the past life Russell did not lose his life over this, probably after feeling unwell and finding out the cause, now she does not allow anyone or anything to harm Russell.

In this lifetime, she was determined to repay her lifesaver wholeheartedly!

Watching the girl lost in thought, Russell felt that Zoey had some regrets, after all, who would be willing to marry someone with a disability?

The reason why Zoey chose him must be because of impulse and anger, which led her to make irrational decisions.

She regretted it!

Russell pursed his lips and said, "Actually, no one doesn't mind disabilities."

Zoey listened to the man's words, feeling particularly bitter in her heart. Russell must have had a difficult time when he didn't recover, enduring a lot of criticism and mockery.

Zoey's eyes welled up with tears as she leaned against the man's chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. "You are the best, even with your disability, it is the best kind of little disability. Russell, I want to marry you."

Little disability?

Russell couldn't help but laugh.

He lowered his gaze and looked at her innocent face, his fingertips lifting her chin. "It's not too late to regret now."

Zoey looked up at the man and said, "I don't regret it! I will never regret it!"

Russell reached out and tapped the backrest of the driver's seat, "Troy, go to City Hall."

Troy: "..." So soon?

Zoey blinked her eyes and asked, "Are we going to get married and have the certificate stamped?"

Russell nodded faintly, "I can give you one last chance, but if you change your mind..."

Zoey extended her index finger and placed it vertically on the man's thin lips, "Russell, I have no regrets. Before sealing that deal, can I seal one with you?"

Russell raised an eyebrow and asked, "What seal?"
