Chapter 12 - 12 012 Married and called Mrs. Hale
?Chapter 12: 012 Married, and called Mrs. Hale Chapter 12: 012 Married, and called Mrs. Hale Zoe Bell caught her breath.
Because his final words struck her heart!
She desperately longed to have a home.
A place of her own, where she could shelter from the storm, never again having to worry about being driven out.
Zoe had understood from early on that she had no control over her own marriage. If not Brandon Stone, the Bell Family would arrange another alliance for her.
To her, love was a luxury.
The key was, she could solve all her current problems without turning back to the Bell Family or Brandon Stone for help.
Shamefully, she was tempted.
Her ankle ached, her body was soaked by the rain, and now the air conditioning made her feel faint. Zoe looked to the man beside her, “Mr. Hale, marrying me could bring you a lot of trouble.”
“Your matters are not troublesome to me,” he said.
Zoe chuckled inwardly.
Indeed, William Hale was a figure whom dignitaries in the Capital City vied to please. Neither the Stone Family nor the Bell Family posed a threat to him.
“I am an orphan with no background or support, I cannot offer you any help,” Zoe bit her lip.
“A prominent background does not necessarily mean it’s better,” he said.
Factional struggles within large families, he spoke the truth.
“Furthermore,” William added, “I do not need anyone’s help.”
The Hale Family, including himself, was powerful enough!
He did not need a marriage alliance to consolidate anything.
Zoe was probably muddled by the air conditioning in the car, or perhaps William’s words earlier bore a fatal temptation for her.
If she really married him, it would be her gain.
William Hale’s conditions were too favorable; according to him, she only needed to play his wife well to have everything.
Helping the orphanage through its current difficulties wasn’t easy. Going back to the Bell Family would only degrade her, leaving her at their mercy her entire life.
She harbored no hopes for love, so his proposal was very tempting to her.
