Flash Marriage: Pampered by Mr.Bigshot-Chapter 365 - 364: I am his husband!

In an instant, a deathly silence fell over the room.

Hazel Quartz’s gaze grew increasingly unsettling, and Nia Mitchell could no longer maintain her smile.

"Um...this is... he..." Nia Mitchell stammered. They had already signed the divorce papers. Should she introduce him as her ex-husband? But who would be so... so intimate with their ex-husband?

"I am her husband."

Suddenly, Maxwell Peary draped an arm around Nia Mitchell’s shoulder, asserting his claim as he stared at Hazel Quartz.

Wasn’t she unwilling to publicize her identity? Wasn’t she afraid that people she knew would discover she was married? Now he was intent on defying her wishes. In what way did he, Maxwell Peary, ever fall short? Was it because he was unattractive, or because he lacked money or status? Did he ever embarrass her? Why was she being so timid?

Hazel Quartz blinked, taken aback.

From uncle to husband—the transition was a little hard for her to accept.

Could their relationship really be what she suspected?

Compared to Hazel Quartz’s daze, Nia Mitchell found her own ears even harder to believe.

They were already divorcing, so why would he say such a thing?

"You can leave now."

Maxwell Peary’s expression was serene, but his words made Hazel Quartz wince.

She’d never met such a rude man in her life. Indeed, as they say, birds of a feather flock together with Nia Mitchell.

Given his demeanor and attire, this man clearly held a high status.

At this thought, Hazel Quartz put on a smile again.

"Alright then. I was planning to treat you to dinner tonight, but since you two have other things to do, I’ll take my leave first."

Hazel Quartz smiled gracefully. Her tone suggested she was a discerning and considerate person—if one were to ignore how Maxwell Peary had just grimly shooed her away.

However, after saying this, Hazel Quartz didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Nia Mitchell.

"I didn’t even know you were married! I haven’t even given you a Red Envelope. Honestly, you didn’t even tell me."

Nia Mitchell blinked blankly, still reeling from what CEO Maxwell had just said.

Husband. He had just assertively told Hazel Quartz that he was her husband. She wasn’t hallucinating, was she?

"Let’s go home."

Without acknowledging Hazel Quartz, who had deliberately approached to chat them up, Maxwell Peary grabbed Nia Mitchell’s left wrist and started pulling her forward.

Nia Mitchell struggled continuously, pouting as she tried to break free from his grip, but to no avail.

"I’ve already signed the papers! What are you doing here? Besides, you’re not my husband anymore!"

Nia Mitchell pouted, stubbornly watching Maxwell Peary’s back, not wanting to follow him.

But he was too strong; she could only let him drag her forward relentlessly.

Heavens, his strides are so long, and he’s walking so fast!

Nia Mitchell hurried to keep up but couldn’t match his pace, so she had to break into a jog.

"Didn’t you hear me? Maxwell Peary, we’re not involved anymore! Let go of me, do you hear?!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Aaargh, this was maddening! She’d been babbling on the entire way, and he hadn’t even turned his head to glance at her.

"Maxwell Peary, I’ll say it again, we’re divorced!"

Hearing her chattering behind him, Maxwell Peary saw her shadow under a streetlight, still jogging to keep up.

Only then did he realize he was walking too fast, and he unconsciously slowed his pace.

"Maxwell Peary, can’t you even make a sound? I’ve said so much, at least give me some kind of reaction!"

Suddenly, Maxwell Peary stopped in his tracks.

Nia Mitchell froze, wanting to back away in fear, but he held her wrist, making escape impossible.

She could only manage a stiff, awkward laugh and look up apprehensively at Maxwell Peary’s dark expression.

Is he... angry now? Oh, he must be.

"SQUEAK."
