After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 938: The Zuo Family’s First Meeting Gift

Zoe Lewis was stunned, stammering, "I, I, I... I won’t get the marriage certificate with you!"

"Then you go and tell my mom yourself."

"You’re the real son, I’m just an outsider. It’s better if you explain."

"If I explain, my mom won’t believe it. It has to be you."

Ryker’s gaze was icy as he let her go. Sure enough, as soon as he tested her, it was clear. She approached him with ulterior motives! Otherwise, given his great qualities, why would she refuse him?

Zoe could tell he was unhappy, so she tried to placate him, "How about I try explaining to Auntie?"

Ryker’s expression became colder, and he didn’t even look at her again.

Zoe didn’t know what she said wrong again. She couldn’t explain, but couldn’t not explain either.

He’s so hard to please!

In the future, she mustn’t marry a man this hard to please. Life would be unbearable.

Ryker opened the door: "You should go home."

Zoe hesitated, "By myself?"

"Unless you want two people?"

"No, no, no, I absolutely didn’t mean that."

Zoe, in her heart, criticized him for lacking gentlemanly manners, not even willing to see her home. No wonder he didn’t have a girlfriend; if he did, she’d be scared away!

She went downstairs alone, and Ryker’s mom handed her a black handbag, "Little Zoe, it’s your first time here, Auntie doesn’t have much to offer, but here’s a little gift for you."

A gift of a men’s handbag?

Zoe suspiciously took the bag, and nearly stumbled over from its weight!

Why is this bag so heavy?

Zoe was shocked, thinking, could it be full of gold?

No, that can’t be right. If it were all gold, she wouldn’t be able to lift it!

She wanted to open it, but doing so in front of them seemed improper, like she was greedy for money.

Seeing her son wasn’t coming downstairs, Ryker’s mom yelled for him, "Ryker, what are you doing in your room? Come down and see Little Zoe off! The bag I gave her is a bit heavy; help her carry it!"

Ryker didn’t appear after the first call, so his mom kept shouting until Zoe was about to break down. Finally, Ryker couldn’t take it anymore and came out of his room.

He walked up to Zoe, took the handbag from her, put it in the car trunk, and drove her away without a kind word.

Zoe knew he was unwilling, and possibly angry with her for reasons unknown to her.

But she couldn’t focus on that; her mind was preoccupied with the handbag.

What’s inside it? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Midway, Zoe shouted, "Stop, stop!"

Ryker instinctively stopped the car, "What’s wrong?"

Zoe didn’t speak. She unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and ran to the back to open the trunk and remove the handbag.

Ryker also got out of the car, standing beside her, watching her.

So this girl was preoccupied with this the whole way? That’s why she didn’t say a word to him?

Zoe already opened the handbag. Inside was a red paper bag, which looked like a huge red envelope.

She opened the red envelope, and inside were neatly stacked bills.

All new money, with the bank’s strap still on, ten thousand per stack.

In total, it was six hundred thousand.

After counting, Zoe hurriedly put the money back, afraid someone would snatch it.

No wonder it was so heavy!

Ryker’s mom was really generous, wasn’t she? Why give so much as a gift?

Zoe nervously looked at Ryker, "Isn’t this a mistake? Did I take the wrong bag?"

Ryker’s reaction was very calm, "No, it’s meant for you."

"But it’s so much!"

"I told you, my mom loves money. She gave you what she thinks is the best gift."
