Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise by Ava Green

Adam nodded. Sensing Lumma’s uneasiness, he turned and walked towards the register office. However, Lumma called out to
him, asking if he wanted to reconsider.
He turned back and saw Lumma’s eyes flickering with a hint of confusion. He asked her, “Do you have any concerns?” If Lumma
didn’t want to marry him or wanted to delay the marriage, he was willing to respect her choice. Lumma remained silent for a
moment and finally shook her head, saying to him, “Let’s go.”
There were only a few people registering for marriage that day, so the process didn’t take much time. They officially became
husband and wife.
Adam’s original plan was to take Lumma out for a meal and have a proper conversation after the registration, getting to know
each other and discussing their future plans for married life. However, he had to catch the next flight to Nocalo to handle matters
at the subsidiary company.
He handed Lumma a bank card with 2 million in savings that he had prepared in advance, telling her she could spend the money
freely. Then he got into the car and rushed to the airport.
He was in such a hurry at the time that he didn’t look back or see her expression. He wasn’t sure what she was thinking at that
moment, perhaps she felt lost and disappointed in her new husband.
On the way to the airport, Catherine called Adam. “Adam, I’ve prepared a lot of delicious food. After you and Lumma register,
bring her home for a meal.”
He replied, “Grandma, I’m on my way to the airport.”
Catherine instantly raised her voice, “What did you say?”
Adam knew it wasn’t right to leave his newlywed wife, but the matters at the subsidiary company were urgent and required his
attention. Between the two, he chose the work that was more important to him at the time. “There’s something important that
needs my attention in Nocalo. Once I’ve taken care of it...”
Before he could finish, Catherine shouted through the phone, her voice piercing his eardrums. “Just tell me, get married?”
did you
He said, “Yes, we did.”

Filled with urgency, Catherine scolded him on the other end of the line. “You got married and now you’re leaving your wife
behind? Are you even a man? Why don’t you take her with you to Nocalo?”
If he took Lumma to Nocalo, it would mean completely severing her previous life and work, reducing Lumma to his subordinate.
He believed it would be cruel to treat her that way, as marriage should not entail such control. “Grandma, she deserves to have
her own life and work. Just because she’s married to me doesn’t mean she has to go along with everything I do.”
Catherine refused to listen to his explanation and continued to criticize Adam over the phone. “You insolent boy! How could you
do such a reckless thing? How am I supposed to explain this to Lumma and Maria? Let me tell you, you better finish your
business there as soon as possible and come back to pick up Lumma. Lumina is truly a good girl, and it’s your fortune to marry
her. You should treasure her. If you ever behave recklessly like your father, that bastard, I will disown you as my grandson.”
On this special day, Adam didn’t want to bring up that man at all. “Grandma, I am me, and he is him. Don’t confuse us. When I
return to Red Pine City, I’ll go pick up Lumma and bring her home.”
Little did he know that this promise would be delayed for a whole year.
Adam didn’t contact Lumma, not just because he was busy with work, but also because he didn’t prioritize her enough.
Otherwise, he would have found time to make a phone call.
