Riley was anxious and tried her best to ease the tension. "No, Grandpa! There was something wrong with the authorization of MT Group's European team, so I asked Wyatt to hold on for a while and not to sign the contract! He didn't do it on purpose last night."
"I did it on purpose. I miss Tiara."
Wyatt gently pushed Riley away and raised his head. There was no fear in his eyes.
"You! I will beat you to death, you brat!"
Samir waved his fist.
Bang!
"Wyatt!"
Riley didn't think too much and stood behind him!
"Riley!"
"Riley!"
Wyatt turned around and held Riley. His eyes flashed with shock and disbelief, but there was no pity.
"You're crazy! It's none of your business!"
"Brat! How can you say that?"
Samir also panicked. He threw the whip away and ran over hurriedly. "Riley, what were you doing?"
"Grandpa."
Riley bit her pale lips and gasped. "Please don't beat Wyatt up, okay? Wyatt and I are already married. If you hurt him, what should I do?"
"What did you say?"
Samir was shocked.
Riley gritted her teeth and nodded as she took out the two marriage certificates from her bag.
"Grandpa, it's true. Wyatt said that he was not young anymore. He knows that your biggest wish is to see him have a family and start a business. So the two of us discussed it... I grew up in the Buckland's house. You treat me like your own granddaughter. You must be very happy that we are together. In the future, I will help you look after Wyatt."
"Is this true?"
Samir flipped through the certificates in his hand, his beard shaking.
Finally, he slapped the table and said, "Why didn't you discuss it with us? It's a huge thing for our family!"
"Grandpa, Wyatt wants to give you a surprise."
Riley said with a faint smile.
"Alas! Forget it! Hurry up and call your parents to come back from abroad and set a date for the wedding."
When they returned to Wyatt's apartment, it was already dark.
Gina cleaned up the other bedroom, and Hamza also brought over the luggage that Riley had packed early in the morning.
Riley sat on the bed in the main bedroom, sizing up her wedding room awkwardly.
Just now, Wyatt had told her that he was going to sleep first, and he turned and went to the bedroom next door.
Riley felt very upset, and the pain in her chest became clearer.
She ran to the bathroom and lay on the sink, coughing wildly.
She coughed so hard that she felt her heart was torn.
"What happened to you?"
Suddenly, Wyatt showed up and stood behind her, asking with a frown.
Riley was shocked and turned around in panic. At the same time, she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her lips.
"Are you vomiting blood?"
Wyatt looked at the scarlet-red blood in the basin. He was calm and then gulped.
Before Riley could explain anything, he suddenly took off Riley's pajamas.
On the fair and thin back, a dark bruise looked scary.
Riley only felt her body was cold. The sudden sense of shame made her want to hide in a hole!
"You! Wyatt, what are you doing?"
Riley turned around and held her clothes with both hands. Her cheeks were red, and she looked at Wyatt vigilantly.
She was brought to the Buckland family when she was eight years old. She had been with Wyatt since they were little.
But this was the first time she had been naked in front of Wyatt!
"Did Grandpa hurt you?"
Wyatt's heart tightened and his brows furrowed.
Even if he was the one being beaten, he wouldn't be able to endure the pain, let alone Riley, who was thin and weak.
"It's nothing... I just feel my chest tight."
Riley turned on the tap and washed the sink.
"Go to the hospital tomorrow."
Wyatt said.
"No need."
Riley shook her head and clenched her hand that was pressed against the tap.
"Go and take a look. My parents will be returning next week. Don't delay the wedding."
After saying that, Wyatt turned around and returned to his bedroom.
Riley stood there in a daze before dragging herself back to the bedroom.
A week later, Wyatt's parents got back from Australia.
Riley was an orphan since she was young and had no parents, so the Buckland family was also her family. The wedding was simple and casual.
"Riley, I'll leave Wyatt to you from now on. You have to help him with the business and take good care of him in life."
While toasting, Wyatt's mother, Cheryl Parham, held Riley's hand and said a lot.
"Mom, don't worry. Wyatt and I will be fine."
"Riley, I know that you feel wronged. I also heard from Gina that Wyatt is still living..."
Cheryl lowered her voice and leaned close to Riley's ear.
This private conversation made Riley blush and feel embarrassed.
"In fact, I know in my heart that Wyatt is a person who values love and relationships. Sooner or later, he will understand your kindness and will cherish you."
"Mom, I know."
Riley choked and looked into the distance.
Wyatt, who was in a tux and black bow tie, was at another table, toasting. It was the real wedding day, but the groom was the only one who wanted to get drunk.
By the time they got home, it was already late last night.
Riley didn't have time to change her dress, so she called Gina to come down and sent Wyatt to the bedroom.
"Gina, make some soup for him."
"Yes, it has already been cooked."
Gina seemed to avoid looking at her. "Mr. Buckland's mother just called and asked me to cook," Gina said.
Riley nodded. "Then please bring it over."
She took off Wyatt's jacket and loosened his tie.
Riley was already used to it.
When Wyatt was drunk, she would never ask him who was the one he wanted to call out at this time.
After feeding him the soup, Riley finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Usually, at this time, Wyatt would sleep until morning.
Therefore, the so-called wedding night was no different from the usual one for Riley.
She just wanted to take a shower quickly and go to the next room to rest.
However, at this moment, Wyatt, who was on the bed, suddenly made a move.
"So hot... So hot..."
Wyatt opened his eyes, and there was not much rationality left in his red eyes.
He took off his pajamas and even scratched his chest. On his tanned chest, red marks showed.
"Wyatt!"
Riley was shocked and hurriedly ran back.
"Wyatt, what happened?"
