The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 948

Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Power of a Newborn Contract

The Dashiell ahead had already left the courtyard, completely unaware of the two he had left behind.

Scarlett Jennings’ heartbeat was thrown off rhythm for a few seconds due to Samuel Chalmers’ sudden words.

Returning to this small building, this courtyard, the memories she had deliberately suppressed awakened with his brief words.

It seemed that the laughter mixed with blessings for her and Samuel Chalmers on that day echoed in her ears again.

Months later, she was back here again.

The person beside her was still him.

Yet not entirely him.

An inexplicable sense of grievance welled up in her chest, as she looked at him, retorting,

"And then?"

Her eyes flickered with flames, staring at him steadily.

"Haven’t you always had the memories between Samuel Chalmers and me?

The fact that Samuel Chalmers and I got married, does it mean something special to you?"

Her voice, though restrained, still carried a hint of emotion.

Facing her question, Samuel Chalmers’ hand slightly stiffened.

Just when Scarlett Jennings thought he would let go of her hand, she heard him reply to her question, "Special."

His voice was as deep as water, with a touch of seriousness, saying to her,

"Your existence has always been special to me."

It’s not just the matter of getting married that’s special.

She, as a whole, has always been a special presence to him.

The Dragon Vein cannot form contracts with people.

But she formed a marriage contract with him.

Even though that marriage contract disappeared as he fully awakened, it still felt like an invisible thread, constantly tugging at him.

Samuel Chalmers never understood why in the past.

But just now, he vaguely comprehended.

Because...

She married him.

Even without a formal oath or registration, it was a "wedding" witnessed by the Spiritual Objects of heaven and earth.

More importantly, "Samuel Chalmers" after that day.

In his heart, he regarded her as his wife.

If there were no ceremony, she and he would at most be strangers who once had a mistaken contract.

But now, something is different.

Like how the marriage contract once bound Scarlett and Samuel Chalmers through Magnolia Hearne’s deceit, it automatically dissolved with the awakening of the Dragon Vein’s consciousness.

Now, similarly as the Dragon Vein consciousness awakens, their marriage feels like a newly formed contract force, trying to bind them anew.

Scarlett Jennings stared at Samuel Chalmers before her, her once calm emotions disrupted by his sudden words.

Under the Golden Light emanating from Samuel Chalmers himself, she failed to notice the golden points forming a circle on her wrist being pulled.

Yet, just when the golden circle was about to close, she heard Dashiell’s somewhat frantic voice returning from outside the courtyard,

"Scarlett, Brother Samuel, hurry up, it’s mealtime..."

Reaching the courtyard gate, Dashiell suddenly saw the hands they were holding, his eyes widened, his voice instantly weakened several pitches,

"Did I... interrupt you?"

Scarlett Jennings was drawn back to reality by that voice, instinctively pulling her hand away from Samuel Chalmers’ hand.

The light circle on her and Samuel Chalmers’ wrists abruptly dissipated due to her action.

In her peripheral view, Scarlett Jennings only saw the Golden Light dispersing around Samuel Chalmers, without thinking further, she turned around and stepped quickly out of the courtyard.

Samuel Chalmers similarly lowered his gaze to the Golden Light dispersing around his wrist, his dark eyes narrowing, deep in thought.

...

Scarlett Jennings and the others stayed in the Artefact Village for two days, waiting for the people sent by the Security Bureau to arrive for reception.

Unexpectedly, it was someone Scarlett Jennings hadn’t anticipated at all.

Suddenly, someone rushed towards her, embracing her tightly.

"Scarlett! Do you miss mom?!"
