Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Hua Nuan slightly lifted the corners of her lips, perhaps feeling that Isabella was an elder, which led her to unconsciously spill what was in her heart in front of the woman.

"Dad often says that in the family, it’s about emotions, not logic. That is to say, reasoning is never effective, and reasoning can easily erode two people’s feelings. So the most effective way is to express emotions."

At this point, Hua Nuan’s eyes become somewhat misty, she sniffles and forces back the tears at the corners of her eyes, then looks up at the woman in front of her and speaks proactively.

"So, ma’am, if we talk about logic, whether I say I don’t care about Huo Zun’s status, or his... or his appearance, but simply that I want to marry this person, I’m afraid you won’t be convinced. Thus, today, I want to talk to you about emotions. When I was born, I didn’t have a mother. Before I was twelve, I relied on my father for companionship. Six years ago, when the Hua Family had a problem, Huo Zun took me in. During these six years, I have no other relatives by my side, only him. Hence, I want to marry him because of these six years of companionship."

"He wants to marry me for the same reason."

"Since it’s your grandson’s own choice, learn to respect it, respect the six years of feelings between us, I beg you..."

After speaking, Hua Nuan looked up to meet Isabella’s gaze, showing no signs of evasion.

Isabella: "..."

How profound, to speak of emotions instead of logic.

For the first time, someone has directly imparted this idea to her.

Isabella hesitated for a moment, then genuinely smiled.

"Well done, Hua Nuan. However, do you think that by saying this, you can convince me?"

"I never intended to convince you, nor did I intend to ask you to give me face, but just thought... you should trust Huo Zun’s decision, and also that of Millie. Ma’am, you don’t genuinely like her, it’s just because of the family behind her. Are you willing to treat your grandson this way?"

Isabella squinted her eyes, surprised by Hua Nuan’s statements.

Unexpectedly, the little girl directly guessed her inner thoughts.

"Why do you assume I don’t like her?"

"It’s simple. If you really liked her enough, you wouldn’t have reached a stalemate until now, and you wouldn’t... when she was injured, your eyes were calm like water, but when Huo Zun returned, your eyes sparkled like diamonds."

Isabella: "..."

Not only is she a clever little thing, but also meticulous little thing.

Once again, Isabella’s eyes lit up, listening to the woman’s words, she slightly curved her lips.

"Hua Nuan, you really are impressive, but unfortunately... I still have to oppose the union between you two, because you don’t love Huo Zun..."

"I support what your dad said about expressing emotions, but originally, the emotion he’s talking about is love. Do you two have that?"

"How can a marriage without love continue?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Nuan’s eyes were startled.

Because of the elder woman’s words, she was somewhat unable to refute.

It seems there is some reasoning behind this.

Hua Nuan’s expression changed slightly.

Isabella captured all of the woman’s subtle expressions, squinted her eyes and stopped speaking.

All the feelings Hua Nuan mentioned just moments ago were about companionship, unrelated to love.

...

Huo Zun returned from outside, somewhat surprised to find no servants in the living room.

Looking at Hua Nuan and Isabella sitting on the sofa, both silent, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

The wedding is the day after tomorrow; it must not be taken lightly.

"Grandmother..."

"Hmm, you’re back. Don’t look so worried, rest assured, your grandmother isn’t a terrible monster and won’t eat Hua Nuan."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun slightly tugged at the corners of his lips, observing Hua Nuan, who lowered her beautiful eyes as if pondering something, he proactively placed his big hand on her shoulder, offering just the right emotional comfort.

Feeling the warm place on her shoulder, Hua Nuan forced a small smile at the corner of her mouth.

"You’re back? Where did you go this morning?"

"Dealing with some wedding details, it’s about Tang Bao’s outfit..."

"Oh."

Tang Bao partners with a small runway star from Germany to be a flower girl, so the outfit is specially tailored.

Watching Hua Nuan lacking enthusiasm and clearly holding something in her mind, Huo Zun slightly exerted strength on her shoulder, his thin lips nearing her ear, murmuring softly: "Uncomfortable?"

"It’s nothing, just got up a bit early this morning, maybe I slept wrong on my pillow, it’s okay."
