Suddenly, the old butler's eyes lit up with excitement. "This is great news! Miss Whitney was abducted when she was three years old and hasn't been found for so many years. It's a miracle that you've finally found her. I'll go back to Youth City and inform the Martinez Family right away."
"Not so fast," Steven interrupted. "My sister was young when she was abducted, and now she's living a peaceful life. I don't want to disturb her and cause unnecessary trouble. I'll stay here for a while and observe the situation before making any decisions."
The old butler also came to his senses and nodded quickly. "You're right. We need to handle this carefully."
The Martinez Family is one of the top aristocratic families in the country. If news of their biological daughter being lost and found were to spread, it would surely cause chaos and possibly attract enemies.
Steven turned around and walked towards the car. "I'll stay at the estate with her during this time. And you must keep this a secret."
"Understood."
The bodyguard bent down and opened the car door.
Just as Steven was about to get in the car, he suddenly turned his head.
"Uncle Peter, buy a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and place them in front of the grave at plot 413 in the cemetery."
Uncle Peter was taken aback. "Young Master, what are you..."
"I got married. Today is my wife's parents' death anniversary, and she sprained her leg and can't move. I'm here to light incense for them on her behalf."
With that, he got into the car without changing his expression and instructed the driver to start the car.
Uncle Peter's eyes widened, and he was petrified on the spot.
... Married? And here to light incense for his in-laws?!
Did he hear it right?
Several bodyguards were also stunned, their mouths wide open.
Uncle Peter was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses, his face turning pale.
"You... Third Young Master, you got married?"
"Third Young Master, don't scare me. I'm old and can't take it."
"Who did you marry? Is this true? Why didn't you tell your family? How am I supposed to explain to President Martinez..."
The black Porsche had already driven far away, its red taillights flashing in the night.
"Third Young Master, you need to explain this to me," Uncle Peter shouted after the taillights, looking desperate.
One of the bodyguards whispered, "Uncle Peter, the old lady asked you to come to River City to discuss the engagement with Third Young Master. But now he has a wife, what should we do?"
Uncle Peter was stunned. He had forgotten to tell Third Young Master about the engagement arranged by the Martinez Family, who wanted him to return to Youth City to get married as soon as possible.
When Third Young Master was in Youth City, he had no interest in women. How could he suddenly get married when he arrived in River City?!
Uncle Peter pulled his hair, feeling anxious and helpless.
The Martinez Family had just arranged an engagement for Third Young Master, but he said he was already married.
What should they do?
No, he had to investigate this first.
It was late at night.
Steven pushed open the door of the bungalow and saw Daisy curled up on the floor. He frowned. Why was she sleeping on the floor?
But Steven didn't bother to ask. He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and stepped over her with his long legs.
He knew that Daisy had feelings for someone else. When she undressed earlier to prove her innocence, it was because she was pushed to her limit. If he really wanted to sleep with her, with her gentle personality, she probably wouldn't refuse him. But it would only be fulfilling their marital duties, nothing more.
As for whether the man in her heart was Joseph, he didn't care.
He came to the Wilson Family just to find his abducted sister. His marriage to Daisy was arranged by Gavin, who wanted to use a woman to win him over.
Steven also needed an identity to stay in the mansion with his sister, so he agreed to the marriage.
He wouldn't stay in the Wilson Family for long. At most, he would take his sister back to Youth City in three months. So he wouldn't touch Daisy. When he left, he would divorce her and give her some money as compensation.
Just as Steven was about to lie down, he saw several freshly washed clothes hanging by the window. They were the clothes he had just taken off.
He usually threw away his clothes when they got dirty, but now they were washed clean and even had the fresh scent of lemon grass laundry detergent. The bloodstains on his shirt were also washed away, making it shine white.
Did she wash them?
Steven turned his head and saw that Daisy's fingers were swollen and her skin was chafed. He was surprised. He thought she was a pampered little lady, but he didn't expect her to know how to do laundry.
Not bad, it's quite clean.
Steven took a glance and saw Daisy curled up on the ground, lips turning white from the cold. He furrowed his brows, turned around, and picked her up, gently placing her on the bed.
She was light and soft, like a feather in his arms.
Daisy was still asleep, dressed in a cotton nightgown that had ridden up, revealing her slender legs.
Steven was about to lie down next to her and go to sleep when he glanced over and pulled her skirt down for her.
He didn't want to take advantage of her.
But just then, Daisy kicked out and unexpectedly hit him below the belt.
Steven let out a muffled groan, his cold and handsome face contorting. He raised his head, glaring fiercely at her with a terrifying look in his eyes.
...She really knows how to kick in the right place!
Daisy didn't notice his cold gaze at all. She kicked off the covers with her other leg, casually draped it over Steven's waist, rubbed against him, and then comfortably smacked her lips.
Her legs were sore from squatting to do laundry, and now she had found a cushion to rest them on. Finally, she could sleep comfortably...
Steven stared at the slender leg draped over his waist, his face darkening as he remained silent for a while.
After a moment, he pulled the covers over himself and turned his back to Daisy to go to sleep.
She should be sleeping on the floor.
If Daisy touches him again tonight, he'll throw her out into the wilderness to feed the wolves!
