Chapter 1 His Death<br /> &quot;Tristan Duran died.&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s said that he died of illness. You were betrothed to him before you were born, so the Duran family insists that you should marry him.&quot;<br /> &quot;There&#039;s no need for a wedding. I&#039;ll have someone take you to the Duran&#039;s place. You&#039;ll be Tristan&#039;s wife from today on.&quot; Miranda Shulman, her stepmother, took a sip of coffee on the sofa, looked up at the rustically dressed girl, and continued lightly, &quot;You should know that we brought you back for this marriage.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yes,&quot; Renee Fletcher, with dejected eyes, replied in a low voice.<br /> She knew that she was back for the marriage between the Fletcher family and the Duran family. The Fletcher family couldn&#039;t bear to see Joanna Fletcher suffer in the Duran family, so they brought Renee back from the countryside.<br /> At the age of 15, Renee learned that she was a true member of the Fletcher family, while Joanna took her place and lived with the Fletcher family for fifteen years. Joanna was intelligent, outstanding, and beautiful, and the Fletcher family had fond feelings toward her. For her sake, the Fletcher family left Renee in the countryside for four years despite knowing the truth.<br /> The Fletcher family finally brought Renee back today, only to let her marry a dead man on Joanna&#039;s behalf.<br /> Miranda checked the time and said, &quot;The Duran family&#039;s cars should have come. You can leave now.&quot;<br /> Renee pursed her lips and muttered, &quot;My dad and my brothers...&quot;<br /> &quot;They are all very busy and don&#039;t have time to see you,&quot; Miranda said with a frown. &quot;Don&#039;t you know that it&#039;s Joanna&#039;s graduation ceremony today?&quot;<br /> Before Renee could speak again, Miranda impatiently urged, &quot;Alright. Just go.&quot;<br /> Several luxury cars were parked outside the Fletcher&#039;s villa. Renee got in one of them and left the house where she stayed for less than thirty minutes.<br /> Miranda watched as the cars drove away and sighed, &quot;What rotten luck.&quot;<br /> Marla Woods, a maid of the Fletcher family, said, &quot;Renee&#039;s biological mother died long ago. You didn&#039;t have to come to see her.&quot;<br /> Miranda sneered, &quot;So what if her biological mother died? Everyone knows that I&#039;m the hostess of the Fletcher family, but I don&#039;t have any children of my own. Anyway, Renee is a legitimate daughter. If I didn&#039;t come, others would gossip behind my back.<br /> &quot;Well, let&#039;s not talk about this. After what happened to the Duran family, who knows if Renee can survive there? As her stepmother, I have to come to see her for the last time.&quot;<br /> ***<br /> The Duran family, boasting a history of hundreds of years, was the most prestigious in Ampleshire. Now, their mansion was permeated with a solemn atmosphere with flags hung in the hall. Servants were dressed in black, and many guests came to offer their condolences. It was truly absurd that Renee came as Tristan&#039;s wife.<br /> &quot;Is that Mr. Duran&#039;s wife? She should&#039;ve just come back from the countryside. Look how vulgar she is,&quot; a guest whispered.<br /> &quot;Mr. Duran&#039;s grandma loved him dearly. He didn&#039;t get married when he was alive, so she decided to marry this girl to him after his death. That&#039;s why... This girl is unlucky.&quot;<br /> &quot;I don&#039;t think so. Since Mr. Duran is dead, she can live longer in the Duran&#039;s place. But if Mr. Duran was alive, I bet she couldn&#039;t live here for more than three days!&quot;<br /> Hyman Hayes, the butler of the Duran family, seemed to have not heard these discussions. He led Renee into the mourning hall and said expressionlessly, &quot;Mrs. Duran, please kneel and guard the coffin here.&quot;<br /> Renee obediently knelt on the cushion. As she looked up, she saw a black coffin and a black-and-white portrait in its front.<br /> Chapter 2 My Fiancée<br /> When Tristan was alive, he was influential in Ampleshire. He was unpredictable, ruthless, and tyrannical, being the terror of all people. After his death, he still looked murderous in his portrait.<br /> But he was good-looking. One could see his sharp features even from his portrait. His cold and emotionless eyes made people dare not look at him, so very few people noticed a small mole below the corner of his left eye.<br /> Frightened by the look in Tristan&#039;s eyes, Renee lowered her head. Hyman said, &quot;Mrs. Duran, I have something else to do, so I&#039;ll take my leave.&quot;<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> Hyman then left quickly. Renee remained kneeling in place. Everyone who came to offer comfort would take a glance at Renee, either indifferently or curiously. It wasn&#039;t until late at night that the mourning hall quieted down, and the servants had gone to sleep in their rooms.<br /> Renee was left alone in the mourning hall. Tristan&#039;s coffin was less than three meters away.<br /> Renee didn&#039;t have any food or water the whole day, and her knees were sore from kneeling. After confirming that there was no one around, she stood up and gently pounded her knees.<br /> It was already June, but Renee still felt a bit cold in a thin dress. The wind brought a faint floral fragrance. Renee touched her stomach.<br /> She was starving.<br /> Renee&#039;s eyes were glued to the fruits and pastries on the table. After hesitating for a while, she walked over, bowed with her hands clasped together, and said softly, &quot;I&#039;m hungry. Please lend me an apple. I&#039;ll pay you back later.&quot;<br /> She reached out. When she was about to touch the apple, her wrist was grasped by a big hand with distinct joints.<br /> Renee was startled, with goosebumps on her back. She hurriedly said, &quot;I&#039;m sorry. I&#039;m starving. I...&quot;<br /> She thought she was caught by a servant of the Duran family, but after she apologized, she heard a casual but pleasant voice say, &quot;Did you get my permission to steal my apple?&quot;<br /> Renee was stunned.<br /> Those things were for Tristan. Why did this person say that?<br /> Renee stiffened and raised her head little by little, only to see a tall man.<br /> The man wore a black shirt and had wide shoulders, a narrow waist, and a faint smell of blood. His face was handsome and sharp, and there was a small yet inexplicably beautifu mole under the corner of his left eye.<br /> Renee widened her eyes and said, &quot;You&#039;re...&quot;<br /> Tristan arched an eyebrow and glanced at the petite girl in a rustic dress. Her long hair flopped over her face, making it difficult for Tristan to see her clearly. Such an ordinary girl would easily get lost in the crowd.<br /> &quot;Are you my...&quot; Tristan paused and continued, &quot;fiancée?&quot;<br /> Renee burst into tears and sobbed, &quot;I&#039;m hungry. Boohoo... Why are you so stingy? I just want to eat an apple, but you turn into a ghost and scare me...&quot;<br /> Renee&#039;s cry was so loud. &quot;Tsk.&quot; Tristan covered Renee&#039;s mouth with one hand and put the other around her waist. Then he lifted Renee onto the coffin effortlessly and said in a deep voice, &quot;Stop crying, or I&#039;ll break your legs.&quot;<br /> Renee nodded with tears in her eyes.<br /> Tristan loosened his grip and asked, &quot;How old are you? Can&#039;t you tell whether I&#039;m alive or dead?&quot;<br /> Chapter 3 Hide in the Coffin<br /> Only then did Renee realize that the man in front of her had a normal temperature, and he felt a bit hot.<br /> &quot;You&#039;re not dead...&quot; Renee hurriedly turned to look at the coffin where she was sitting. &quot;So...&quot;<br /> Tristan glanced at the coffin and raised his eyebrows. &quot;I&#039;m also curious about what&#039;s inside. Do you want to take a look?&quot;<br /> Renee was so scared that she threw herself into Tristan&#039;s arms. &quot;No, I don&#039;t... Put me down...&quot;<br /> Tristan thought that Renee was like a bunny kicking its legs. He wasn&#039;t a good person in the first place, so he asked coldly, &quot;Do you know what other people say about me?&quot;<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> &quot;If you make me angry, I&#039;ll have someone put you in the coffin,&quot; Tristan threatened in an arctic voice. &quot;You&#039;ll be buried alive.&quot;<br /> Renee was shocked.<br /> Tristan lifted Renee down the coffin. As soon as Renee found her footing, she wanted to run away, but Tristan took her by the collar and pulled her back. &quot;Stand here and watch.&quot;<br /> Renee didn&#039;t want to see what was inside the coffin at all. She said in a low voice, &quot;Mr. Duran, this is your coffin. Don&#039;t you know what&#039;s inside?&quot;<br /> &quot;I just came back from finishing my work,&quot; Tristan sneered. &quot;I didn&#039;t expect to attend my funeral.&quot;<br /> It seemed that those people really wanted Tristan to die. They got some false news and immediately held a funeral for him.<br /> The coffin wasn&#039;t sealed, so Tristan could push the lid open easily. Renee closed her eyes right away, but Tristan sneered, &quot;There are just a few clothes. What&#039;s there to be afraid of?&quot;<br /> Renee&#039;s eyelashes fluttered. She screwed up her courage and opened her eyes, only to see a few clothes in the coffin.<br /> Before Renee could speak, she heard footsteps. Tristan frowned and looked outside the mourning hall. The next thing Renee knew, she was pulled into the coffin.<br /> Renee opened her eyes wide. Tristan rested one hand on the coffin and climbed in. The coffin was more than enough for a person, but it was too crowded for the two of them. Tristan was tall with long legs. When he closed the coffin, Renee was forced to curl up in his arms, and she could hear his heartbeat.<br /> &quot;Mr. Duran...&quot;<br /> Tristan covered Renee&#039;s mouth in the darkness, forcing her to swallow her words.<br /> &quot;It&#039;s strange...&quot; a voice said in the mourning hall. &quot;Where&#039;s the girl from the Fletcher family?&quot;<br /> &quot;No one wants to stay in the mourning hall in the middle of the night. She may have gone somewhere else.&quot;<br /> &quot;What bad luck...&quot; someone spat. &quot;Why are we assigned to replace the wick?&quot;<br /> &quot;Stop that,&quot; said the other person in a low voice. &quot;When Mr. Duran was alive, everyone was afraid of him. Now that he&#039;s dead, he may have turned into a ferocious ghost. If he hears what you said...&quot;<br /> There was a moment of silence, followed by a rustling sound. The two servants should have replaced the wick. &quot;Let&#039;s go. This place may bring us bad luck.&quot;<br /> As the sound of footsteps faded away, Tristan moved his hand away from Renee&#039;s mouth. Renee&#039;s face turned red. Tristan asked, &quot;Why do you smell so good?&quot;<br /> Renee was stunned.<br /> &quot;Do you wear perfume?&quot; Tristan frowned.<br /> The two of them were jammed in the narrow coffin. Tristan spoke in Renee&#039;s ear, making Renee&#039;s ear redden. She grasped her hem and said, &quot;No, no.&quot;<br /> But she indeed smelt good.<br /> The air was filled with her sweet scent.<br /> &quot;Mr. Duran...&quot; Renee began in a low voice, &quot;Why do we have to hide in the coffin?&quot;<br /> Chapter 4 She&#039;s My Wife<br /> &quot;If they saw me, I&#039;d make headlines tomorrow,&quot; said Tristan coldly.<br /> &quot;But...&quot; Renee stated seriously. &quot;You don&#039;t need to bring me along.&quot;<br /> Tristan was rendered speechless.<br /> &quot;Tsk. I forgot it,&quot; he thought to himself.<br /> Renee moved uncomfortably. &quot;Let&#039;s go out.&quot;<br /> Tristan pushed open the coffin and climbed out of it. Renee was sweaty, so her soft hair was plastered to her fair cheeks. She panted heavily and leaned over the coffin, looking pitifully at Tristan. &quot;Mr. Duran, I can&#039;t get out on my own.&quot;<br /> Tristan leaned against the coffin and casually remarked, &quot;It&#039;s none of my business.&quot;<br /> Renee was about to cry in anger. &quot;But you pulled me in...&quot;<br /> Tristan remained indifferent. &quot;So what?&quot;<br /> Renee snapped incredulously, &quot;You&#039;re being unreasonable!&quot;<br /> No one dared to talk to Tristan like this over the years. Renee had just returned from the countryside and hadn&#039;t seen much of the world, so she didn&#039;t know how influential Tristan was in Ampleshire and dared to accuse him.<br /> Tristan narrowed his eyes and bent over to look at Renee. &quot;I can help you out.&quot;<br /> Renee&#039;s eyes lit up.<br /> Tristan smiled, &quot;What did you just call me?&quot;<br /> Renee bit her lip and replied, &quot;Mr. Duran. Everyone calls you that.&quot;<br /> &quot;They&#039;re not related to me,&quot; Tristan said. &quot;You&#039;re my wife, not one of them.&quot;<br /> Renee was stunned. &quot;What should I call you then?&quot;<br /> Tristan raised his eyebrows. His handsome face appeared alluring in the moonlight. &quot;Think about it yourself.&quot;<br /> Renee blushed.<br /> &quot;Mr. Duran,&quot; Shelton Quinn, Tristan&#039;s assistant, called out. When he saw Tristan, he breathed a sigh of relief. &quot;What are you doing here? The news of your death has spread. Everyone is anxiously waiting for you.&quot;<br /> Tristan said, &quot;I&#039;ve never attended my funeral before, so I wanted to experience it.&quot;<br /> He glanced at Renee, who was still sitting dumbfounded in the coffin, and turned around to leave. &quot;Since they&#039;re waiting for me, I have to...&quot;<br /> Before he could finish speaking, Renee choked out, &quot;Honey... Boohoo. Please help me out...&quot;<br /> Tristan paused. Shelton widened his eyes and repeated, &quot;Honey?&quot;<br /> Tristan laughed and looked back at Renee. &quot;So you know what you should call me, right?&quot;<br /> Renee was worried that Tristan would leave her in the coffin. Her nose turned red from crying. She extended her hand and pleaded, &quot;Honey...&quot;<br /> Tristan suppressed his laughter. Renee did whatever she was asked to like an obedient bunny.<br /> Tristan reached out and helped Renee out. When he turned around, he saw Shelton&#039;s surprised look. &quot;Mr. Duran, I didn&#039;t know you liked this.&quot;<br /> Shelton began to imagine what Tristan and Renee did in the coffin.<br /> Tristan&#039;s face darkened as he asked icily, &quot;Don&#039;t you know her?&quot;<br /> Shelton was enlightened. &quot;Oh, she&#039;s from the Fletcher family...&quot;<br /> &quot;Hmm.&quot; Tristan placed Renee on the ground. Renee wiped her tears when Tristan pinched her soft cheek. &quot;Don&#039;t tell anyone that I&#039;m still alive.&quot;<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> Her cheek was quite soft and tender, so Tristan pinched it mischievously again. Seeing Renee scrunch her brows, he finally let go of her and stuffed the apple into her mouth. He said cheerfully, &quot;Shelton, she&#039;s my wife from now on, got it?&quot;<br /> <br /> Book ID：4897
