Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 7

Annie smiled faintly. "Yes, I've met him. He's great. We've already registered our marriage."

"I told you so! He's truly—" Suzanna choked on her words, as if only registering Annie's words. "Wait, what did you just say?"

Suzanna exclaimed, "You've actually gone and registered your marriage already?"

The scream exploding through the other end of the line was so sharp Annie had to pull her phone away from her ear.

"Say that again, Annie? What did you two do? Didn't we agree for you to meet first? How did that turn into registering your marriage right away? Did you guys fall in love at first sight? Did cupid's arrow hit the both of you?" Suzanna's pitch went an octave higher out of shock.

Annie was amused by her exaggerated reaction. Resigned, she replied, "There was no love at first sight. We just figured having a marriage license would make everything easier. There won't be any complications later."

Suzanna clicked her tongue. "Unbelievable. My best friend suddenly turns into my uncle's wife! That's a change of role I was absolutely not ready for!"

Out of curiosity, she continued, "So what's next? Are you moving in with Uncle Chris?"

"No." Annie glanced out the window, voice calm when she replied, "He's living in a company-provided apartment right now. It'd be awkward for me to move in out of nowhere. Besides, we're just in a marriage of convenience. There's no need to live together."

"Company-provided?" Suzanna said, her tone full of disbelief.

As the CEO of Parker Group, Christian's net-worth is worth billions. There was no need for him to be living in a company-provided apartment when he owned several villas in Jynston.

Did he not tell Annie about his real identity?

Suzanna gave it some thought before finally understanding what was going on. She figured Christian probably didn't want to scare Annie off.

After all, there wouldn't be any difficulty for the eldest son of the Parker family to have any woman he wanted. Anyone would think he had an ulterior motive if he were to suggest getting married on a whim out of nowhere.

Suzanna quickly covered it up with a laugh. "A company-provided apartment is great! It's super convenient. There's no mortgage or maintenance required. Amazing choice!"

She then quickly changed the subject, her voice turning excited once again. "Forget that for now, Ann. Go check the trending topics! Hurry up! There's a huge scandal!"

"The trending topic?" Annie asked.

"That's right! Hurry up! It's number one on X—that jerk Sean is the hottest topic right now!" Suzanna was practically cackling in glee.

Annie immediately opened the app. Sure enough, sitting at the top of the trending topics was a hot topic—"Dr. Frost of Jynston General Hospital Caught in A Scandal: Flirting With Patient Behind Fiancee’s Back!"
