The Ready Made Groom

Today was June 20th. In Carrivile, this date represented love, so many couples chose to register for marriage on this day.

Ashley had been worried that the Civil Affairs Bureau would get crowded today. Afraid that she couldn't register for marriage today, she had already asked a servant to take the ID cards and every other type of document that was needed to the Civil Affairs Bureau before it opened.

 This way, she and Henry would be able to get their marriage licenses as soon as possible. But now that she wanted to leave home, she had to go there and take her ID card back first.

Ashley began to feel a little uncomfortable on her way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, as if her body was on fire. This feeling was a little alien to her.

It suddenly occurred to her that she must have been drugged by Lucia after all!

What was more, the effect of the drug was very powerful. If Lucia hadn't exchanged the drug with aspirin, then she must have put it somewhere else. Ashley had washed up in the morning, and she had also drunk some water.

Therefore, there had been a lot of opportunities for Lucia to drug her. But even if the medicine took effect now, it would be useless for her to seek justice for herself. 

She knew that both her father and Henry would think that it was just another trick to protect herself. She had never realized that Lucia could be so calculating that she would set a trap for her this way!

Ashley was a righteous and honest person, so she was no match for someone as cunning as Lucia. By the time she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she felt weak all over.

Her small face was flushed a deep pink color, and was covered with a layer of sweat. She slightly blinked, revealing her watery eyes.

 After finding the servant of the Brown family, Ashley finally got her ID card back."Miss Ashley, this is Mr. Thompson's ID card"

Ashley gave him a small smile. "You can return it to him yourself"

Just the thought of Henry sent a chill to her heart, so she was very reluctant to touch his things.

"Miss, are you okay. You don't look good" The servant asked

"I'm fine. Thank you" Ashley answered.

"So Miss, can I go. I have some errands to run" the servant said

With a smile on her face Yes you can. "I can take care of the rest myself"

"Alright then, I would be going. And please be good and take care of yourself, you don't look at that well" the servant said and left with a bow 

 Just the thought of the servant caring for stung her a bit whereas her father and her husband to be nonchalant to her welfare thinking that she was rebelling.

The strange feeling in her body slowly became more and more Overpowering. It seemed that Lucia had been determined to make her lose her virginity today.

But to Ashley, it was no big deal. Today, she had lost almost everything. She had lost her father's love, as well as her fiance's. Now, she had nothing left to lose.

Since she was doomed to lose her virginity, so be it. She decided to at least find a man she liked to do the job. She looked around the Civil Affairs Bureau. 

At that moment, a man suddenly walked into the door. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit that enhanced his tall and straight figure. 

It was as if a light shone down on him from above, making him look impeccable.The man's presence lit up Ashley's bleak world in the blink of an eye. 

He was followed by another man, who leaned in and said in a low voice, "Mr Stone, she didn't come." Then you can tell her that she doesn't need to come here anymore, " Levi Stone said calmly. 

But his words gave people a kind of invisible pressure. After saying that, he turned around to leave, but Ashley had already stood in front of him. As soon as she had heard that this man's bride hadn't shown up, she had decided that he was the chosen one!

Being stopped by an unfamiliar woman in front of him, Levi lowered his eyes to look at her face. The woman's face was as red as an apple, and her long black eyelashes were fluttering. She was enchanting and lovely. 

He looked at her with a frown, as if he was thinking about something. "Sir, it seems that your bride didn't show up. In that case, I have a little favor to ask you, " the woman said shyly. Her young voice was filled with energy.

"A little favor? Do you know who I am?" Levi asked as he looked at her upturned face. "Of course I do! You are Kaden Stone's driver. I've met you twice when you picked him up, " Ashley said with a charming look on her face.

Just now, she had overheard the part about his bride not showing up, but she hadn't overheard his title--Mr. Stone!

"Woman, do you know what you're doing" Levi said with a smirk on his face

With a smile Ashley replied "Yes, why not. You need a bride and I need a groom which makes us even"

Levi scoffed "you look drunk. Are you sure you're in the right frame of mind and what happened to your groom"

"I'm in my frame of mind, and also I'm not drunk. I was drugged by my half sister and also I was forsaken by my fiance. You don't need know the details."

"The most important part is that we should get married that is if you don't want to go back home as a bachelor. I'm clean no criminal records if that is what you are scared of" Ashley said at once smiling at Levi

"Nah. I'm not scared of that. You look clean to me and also you look the forsaken part" Levi smirked at her
