Chapter 3 Honeymoon (Part One)

Two hours later, Harry and Zoe drove back to their bride-chamber while James went to deal with what happened today.

As soon as they entered the house, Alina Mi gave Zoe a bear hug and said excitedly, "Welcome, the happiest couple. Congratulations, Harry and Zoe. Happy wedding day!"

"Alina, thank you for the special welcome," Harry said with a smile as he closed the door.

"Of course! I even decorated your bedroom beautifully. I'm sure you two will like it," Alina Mi proudly said while blinking her eyes. She looked so cute and nifty in her maid outfit.

"Thank you, Alina. I really appreciate your hard work these days. I'll talk to Dad later and ask him to give you a pay raise."

Alina Mi was the daughter of Jimo family's butler, and she grew up with Zoe. After school, she would help take care of Zoe's daily needs.

"Thank you for that. I'm leaving now. Enjoy your honeymoon. Make it the best memory of your lifetime." Alina Mi winked at Zoe, but the latter didn't understand what she meant at all.

She then left, leaving the couple alone in the villa.

When Harry noticed that Zoe was wearing thin clothes, he was afraid that she might catch a cold, so he said considerately, "Zoe, go and take a hot shower first. We'll then eat something and go to the airport for our honeymoon trip."

"Okay," Zoe said with a nod. She had heard the word "honeymoon" from both Alina and Harry. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew that it was something good. Now, she was looking forward to spending it with Harry.

As soon as Zoe went upstairs, Harry went to the living room and turned on the TV. He kept on changing the channels, but all of them were broadcasting Zoe and his wedding.

James probably was not able to stop those TV stations on time. Worse was, they were all saying that Zoe was a fool. They even doubted the authenticity of their wedding. No wonder James deliberately didn't invite anyone from the media. It turned out, he was just protecting his silly daughter well. If the media people didn't lurk outside the mansion, they would not discover the Jimo family's secret.

With a frown, Harry turned off the TV and called Emily.

But what he could only hear was the operator's automated voice. "The subscriber is not available at the moment. Please dial again later."

Did Emily avoid his calls on purpose? She was getting more and more disobedient to him these days.

Harry was so angry that he took out a box of cigarettes and lit one stick. The whole living room was immediately filled with cigarette smoke.

After taking a shower, Zoe went back downstairs. She saw that Harry was smoking and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Harry, smoking is bad for your health," she said. She choked on the smoke as she walked up to him.

Harry turned to look at her, and he instantly saw the concern in her eyes. His heart softened unconsciously. He stubbed out the cigarette obediently and took Zoe's hand.

"I won't smoke anymore. Let's have dinner now. I know that you are already hungry." Harry's voice was gentle and full of affection.

"Okay." With a bright smile, Zoe followed him to the dining room. As soon as she sat down, she was so happy to see her favorite dishes on the table.

Harry put some food on her plate from time to time. Looking at her innocent and lovely face, he couldn't help thinking that if she was not a fool, he would fall in love with her.

After dinner, Harry asked Zoe to drape her hair and put on her sunglasses. Although Zoe didn't know why, she still obeyed Harry.

When everything was ready and Harry was sure that they wouldn't be recognized from their disguise anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief and locked the door. He dragged their suitcases with one hand and took Zoe with the other hand towards the garage.

Harry put their suitcases into the trunk of the car. He then opened the door for Zoe and let her get in. After closing the door, he turned around to the driver's seat.

To make sure that they wouldn't be recognized by the media, he deliberately used a different car on their way to the airport.

Since Zoe seldom went out, she was so amazed to see the view outside. She looked out of the window all throughout the time.

Suddenly, Harry's phone rang. As soon as he saw the caller's name on the screen, he quickly pressed the answer button. "Dad, what's wrong?"

James sighed before he said, "Harry, the news about Zoe has already spread all over the country. I hope you can take good care of her. After your honeymoon, just let her stay in the villa all the time. Don't let her go out again."

"Yes, Dad. I understand." From the way he spoke, it was hard to tell whether Harry was happy or sad to hear the news.

"Okay. Enjoy your honeymoon. This might be the last time that she goes out." James couldn't hide the helplessness in his voice.

"I'll make sure that she enjoys this trip, Dad." Harry then hung up and continued to drive.

Sitting in the back seat, Zoe listened to Harry's conversation on the phone, but she didn't know what they were talking about at all. She just sat there blankly.

This time in a private villa in Britain, Austin Wen drank his afternoon tea idly while watching a live broadcast in China.

The news was broadcasting a wedding. His eyes were fixed on the bride, who was wearing the same necklace to the girl she met fifteen years ago.

It was Zoe, the only daughter of the chairman of the Jimo Group, which was the biggest company in the entertainment industry in China. Austin Wen knew that she was special. That was why James had protected her well. He didn't expect that the news about her would spread out today.

He stared at the TV screen, not batting an eyelid. If the show didn't switch to a commercial break, he would not come back to his senses.

No wonder Austin Wen didn't hear anything about Zoe since then. As a matter of fact, he had been looking for her for so long. He didn't know that James deliberately hid her.

Now that he found her, he was both happy and disappointed. He was happy that he finally knew where she was, but disappointed that she was already married.

Meanwhile, Harry was checking in at the capital airport. Zoe stood beside him quietly, not daring to say a word. She was afraid that she might attract a group of people's attention and throw her into the water again.

After checking in, Harry handed their suitcases and identification documents to the security inspector. When they passed the security check, he took Zoe to the waiting area and waited for the announcement of their boarding.

After a while, their boarding time came. Harry handed over their boarding passes to the staff and got on the plane.

He let Zoe sat down first before he put their luggage away and turned off his phone.

Since it was her first time to ride an airplane, Zoe was very excited. Afraid that she would attract too much attention, Harry reminded her to fasten her seat belt while personally giving her a demonstration.

Seeing that everyone was also doing the same thing, Zoe hurriedly followed Harry's instructions.

When she was able to successfully fasten her seat belt, Harry touched her head and said with a smile, "Great job, Zoe. You can take a nap now. I'll just wake you up when we arrive in Sanya."

"Okay." Zoe nodded obediently and closed her eyes. Soon enough, she fell asleep.

Seeing that Zoe had fallen asleep, Harry asked for a newspaper from the flight attendant to kill time.

Zoe had always been obedient to Harry because she believed that he would never hurt her. She was also very dependent on him. But this trust would also lead to her heartbreak and despair in the future. She just didn't know when that day would be.

Two hours later, Austin Wen's phone under the beer can rang. As soon as he answered it, his agent, Wyatt, asked anxiously, "Austin, where are you now? Why are you not answering your phone?"
