After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 920: Star Counting Contest

"I used to do better academically than her, so she forced me to pursue the arts. I chose vocal music, and when I graduated from high school, I was admitted to a music academy abroad. My cousin forced me to change my plans; she’s a year ahead of me and said she’s familiar with the environment there and could take care of me, so she made me attend her university."

In the past, Zoe used to cry sadly when she mentioned this matter and dared not speak of it.

Now, with so many friends and strong backing, Cherry is no longer that spoiled princess who got whatever she wanted and has received the ultimate punishment. Zoe’s mindset has calmed considerably, allowing her to recount this story with a smile.

"I also signed up for singing competitions before. In my first year of college, I participated in many competitions, but I was always eliminated in the first round. After privately investigating, I found out it was my cousin sabotaging me from behind the scenes. Feeling discouraged and hopeless, I never entered competitions again and stopped singing. My grandmother also said singing leads nowhere, saying in ancient times it was merely entertainment, and the Lewis Family forbids producing a singer."

Everyone gasped upon hearing this!

What kind of family is this!

Is the Lewis Family matriarch living in the last century? Still talking about singers!

And Cherry is even more hateful, with such a sinister mind. She usually portrays herself as kind and wonderful, but turns out she does absolutely appalling things!

David and a few others felt sympathy and heartache, then quickly turned their eyes uniformly towards Harry Hunter.

Back then, their Young Master nearly married Cherry!

Such a venomous woman, imagine the suffering she’d have caused if she became part of the family!

Harry Hunter showed indifference: "Why are you looking at me? It’s not my decision to connect with the Lewis Family; it was all orchestrated by the matriarch. Cherry spent heavily to please her." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Saying this, he turned to Isabella Weaver to stress, "I never liked her, just considered her as a business partner. I only love you."

Isabella was initially feeling for Zoe’s struggles, but suddenly with the public confession from him, her face flushed red.

Fortunately, the bonfire made everyone’s face glow red, so hers wasn’t noticeable.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Harry Hunter, smiling sweetly, and whispered, "Got it!"

Opposite, Zoe watched their close relationship and felt immensely pleased; she hoped that Isabella Weaver and Harry Hunter could remain this way always.

And hoped Cherry never gets married.

Such a wonderful life!

Chatting, eating melon seeds, star-gazing, Zoe lay down on the grass, giggling and counting stars.

Looking at the stars, she quickly came up with an idea, suggesting everyone use their phones to capture a section of the sky and count stars to see who photographed the most. The winner would receive a flower crown she wove from nearby materials.

David and several others played happily, even Isabella Weaver joined in, busy taking photos of star-filled skies.

Ryker was completely speechless.

What a childish game!

Of course, high-IQ Harry Hunter was unlikely to participate in such a game, he exchanged a glance with Ryker, finally feeling he’s found a kindred spirit.

However, Harry Hunter couldn’t avoid counting stars, because Isabella Weaver, after counting for a while, complained her eyes were tired and couldn’t count accurately, pulling him to count together.

Ryker felt immensely lucky; you see, what’s good about marriage anyway? Even for trivial tasks, you must help the woman!

Single life is better, free and unfettered, without a woman nagging.

Just as he finished feeling grateful, intending to lie down alone for a bit, a certain woman’s hand dragged his arm: "Ryker, help me count!"
