Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Amidst the silence, Belle gritted her teeth and was about to answer on behalf of Adam. “He…”

“I do.”

Belle’s words were cut off as an arrogant voice interrupted her.

Belle turned around abruptly and then she saw a figure approaching under the sun.

The light was a little dazzling, so Belle couldn’t make out the person’s face at first. She only felt as if the entire world was bathed in light for a moment.

After the initial blinding glare subsided, she saw the man’s face.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd.

As Adam walked into the church, the seated guests all caught sight of the scar that cut across half of his face.

It was probably because Adam’s face was truly a little terrifying, Belle was also startled when she first saw him, but she quickly regained her composure. After all, she had known that Adam’s face was burned. She had been mentally prepared beforehand.

After a moment of initial shock, Belle looked at Adam almost gratefully.

At least she didn’t have to stand alone in embarrassment anymore.

Adam walked towards Belle with an indifferent look on his face. As he walked past those who met his gaze, they all lowered their heads–either out of fear or respect.

Finally Adam arrived by Belle’s side.

He leaned closer to Belle on purpose. “Surprised to see me?”

Adam knew how terrifying his face was, and he had imagined how terrified Belle would be. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Belle was momentarily stunned by the up–close view of the gruesome scars, but she took a deep breath and made an effort to maintain eye contact with Adam.

Her voice was soft and gentle. “I’m pleasantly surprised that you could make it.”

She didn’t tremble, jump away, or scream.

Adam cocked his brows. He slightly taken aback by Belle’s reaction.

He scrutinized Belle, trying to gauge whether she was really surprised.

But he saw she was grateful to him.

This stunned Adam.

“What is she thinking? I arrived late to the wedding and deliberately scared her, but she’s grateful to me?” he wondered.

Charlie was also somewhat pleased to see that Belle showed no fear and looked directly into Adam’s

eyes.

He cleared his throat and gave a threatening look to the priest. “Restart the ceremony!

Adam also turned to look at the priest, who was trembling with fear.

Adam sneered. “Weren’t you quite fluent when I wasn’t around? What? Have you suddenly lost your voice? If that’s the case, how about I cut your tongue out in front of everyone?”

In the midst of the wedding. Adam was threatening the priest in front of so many people.

Belle glanced at Adam and thought, “No wonder he had such a bad reputation.”

This time, people would probably say that he was cruel behind his back.

But Belle was not afraid of him at all. Instead, his Adam’s actions made her feel warm deep down.

“Is Adam standing up for me, knowing that the priest tried to embarrass me earlier?” she wondered.

The priest was so frightened by Adam that his legs were giving away, so he quickly resumed the

ceremony.

“Mr. Landor, do you willingly…”

Before he could finish, Adam interrupted him impatiently. “I do.”

The priest wiped away his cold sweat and said, “And Ms. Miller…”

Belle smiled and, without waiting for the priest to finish, she said, “I do too.”

The priest was rendered speechless.

It was so embarrassing for him.

Adam cast a brief glance at Belle, his gaze growing deeper as he thought, “This woman is proving to be quite an interesting person.”

After the ceremony, Belle breathed a sigh of relief.

She had finally cleared the first hurdle.

At that moment, she had a strange feeling.

She had thought Timothy was her Mr. Right, but his appearance today had left her in a more difficult situation.

She had thought Adam was a nightmare, but now he stood by her side, giving her a shred of dignity.

Belle stole a glance at Adam and suddenly felt that his face wasn’t as frightening as she had initially thought.

“Reverend, you seem to have forgotten something.” Penelope stood up and said with a smile.

Adam narrowed his eyes and looked at the priest.

The priest was trembling and couldn’t utter a word.

Seeing that the priest was trembling in fear, Penelope squinted her eyes and said softly, “Reverend, there was originally a part, where the two newlyweds share a kiss before God, right?”

Adam’s face turned cold.

The priest trembled even more.

At that moment, the priest deeply regretted having agreed to Penelope’s conditions. The presence of Adaro standing before him was simply too overwhelming!

However, things had already gotten this far, and if he didn’t want to offend both Adam and Penelope, he had no choice but to proceed with the original plan.

He summoned all his courage and said, “Y–Yes…”

Penelope chuckled. “Well then, let’s have the newlyweds share a kiss. I’ve heard that a kiss here will receive the blessing of God for a happy and long–lasting marriage. Adam, I hope that this marriage of yours will be filled with happiness and will last a lifetime.”

Penelope smiled as if she was actually wishing them well.

Adam looked at her coldly.

If it were any other couple, sharing a kiss wouldn’t be a big deal.

But Adam and Belle were complete strangers.

Moreover, ever since the fire, any

willing to kiss Adam? At least that was what Adam thought.

Penelope was clearly trying to humiliate him in front of all the guests.

That was something every discerning person could see,

Charlie glanced at Penelope and his face darkened.

“This woman is becoming more audacious by the day! I’ve been too indulgent with her all these years, all for the sake of my late son. But now that the priest had made the announcement, the two of them will have to kiss each other, thought Charlie.

“Please share a kiss,” the priest said after forcing himself to calm down.

“Such a scene is common in most church weddings, and I’m just following the usual procedure. Adam might have power and influence, but we’re in a lawful society, and I wouldn’t let him have his way,” the priest thought to himself.

“Looks like you’re looking for trouble.” Adam’s eyes immediately turned cold, and he walked towards the priest with a dark face.

“M–Mr. Landor, what are you doing?” The priest’s newfound confidence crumbled immediately, and he retreated in fear.

“What am I doing?” Adam’s voice became even colder.

He had no patience for an argument. Since the priest was making things difficult for him, he would simply throw the priest out!

As for the consequences, Adam couldn’t care less; he was notorious to begin with anyway.

Just as Adam was about to throw the priest out, someone suddenly held his hands.

Adam was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw Belle’s clear eyes.

“What is this woman trying to do?” he wondered.

Belle walked up to Adam and glanced at him with a hint of shyness. Then she went on her tiptoes and kissed his lips without hesitation.

Adam’s eyes widened in shock immediately.

Her lips were soft and carried a hint like the finest cotton candy.

sweetness,

Belle didn’t close her eyes; instead, she looked calmly at Adam.

Despite his hideous appearance, there was not a trace of hesitation or fear in her eyes.

Adam’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He then kissed Belle back as he looked at her with his dark eyes.

As they kissed, the scene appeared surprisingly harmonious except for Adam’s face.

“Wow, I’m starting to find this romantic.”

“Adam confronted the priest and then kissed Belle affectionately. I feel like Adam isn’t as terrifying as the rumors suggest. It seems that he likes Belle very much.”

“Exactly.”

The guests began to whisper among themselves excitedly.

Penelope maintained her smile, but she was actually infuriated. She clenched her fists so that her nails dug into the palm of her hands.

“How could Belle possibly kiss someone with such an ugly face?” she wondered.

Belle really went to great lengths to marry Adam! But the real drama had only just begun!
