Chapter 2Inheriting the Villain's Fortune

The next day, arranged by the matchmaker, I met Caleb.

Young Caleb was truly handsome, which was one of the reasons I chose him in my last life.

Caleb was still cold to me. He just glanced at me and said, "If you think I'm okay, we can get the marriage license."

In my last life, I rolled my eyes so hard when I heard this.

If my parents hadn't told me how good Caleb was and how promising his future was, I wouldn't have agreed.

He felt like he was just marrying me to deal with his parents.

Facts proved he was indeed marrying me to deal with his family.

But this life was different.

I nodded like a bobblehead: "Okay, okay, we can get the license anytime."

Caleb's attitude was cold. He looked at me with slight surprise and said deeply, "However, I have to say some things upfront. I'm very busy. After we get married, I won't have time to accompany you."

"Also, I'm not very keen on that aspect. I must make this clear to you beforehand. If you mind, then..."

"I don't mind! I don't mind at all!" I said with a smile.

With so many men to play with in the future, I wouldn't be obsessed with doing that with Caleb.

In my last life, we did do it, and it was Caleb who initiated it.

No matter how deeply in love he was with someone else, he was still a man. It was normal for a man to have physical needs.

But doing it with him wasn't great. He just pumped away without talking, completely devoid of romance.

Maybe I was too easygoing, because Caleb looked at me with even more confusion.

I stopped smiling and explained: "Actually, I'm like you. I just want to find someone to marry to deal with my family. The reason I chose you is because you look mature and steady, not like a troublemaker."

"After meeting you, you are exactly as you appear in the photos."

"You can rest assured. Since I married you, even if there is no love between us, I will be responsible for our family and won't do anything untoward."

Caleb's expression relaxed slightly. He nodded: "I think so too. In that case, let's settle the marriage."

"Okay!"

My parents were thrilled when they found out I settled on Caleb.

I was happy too.

Both families discussed the wedding date. It was obvious that both sets of parents were anxious. The wedding was set for next month, but they said the day after tomorrow was a lucky day and asked me and Caleb to get the marriage license first.

In my last life, Caleb and I had a decent wedding.

Even though I didn't like him at that time, I had natural expectations for a wedding, so I put a lot of effort into it.

I discussed every detail with the wedding planner, what flowers to use, the design of the invitations...

But from beginning to end, Caleb never showed up.

I tentatively asked him: "Do you have any ideas about the wedding? How about we go to the wedding planner together tomorrow? What do you think?"

Caleb's attitude was distant and cold: "As long as you like it. I don't have any ideas. And I'm very busy, I don't have time."

Caleb only appeared on the wedding day.

But as soon as the ceremony was over, he went back to the hospital, leaving me alone at the reception to greet the guests.

At that moment, I actually regretted it.

Even if two people who don't love each other get married, they should at least act like a couple. But Caleb didn't even pretend.

He really didn't care.

That night, Caleb stayed in his lab and didn't come home all night.

When he came back the next day to wash up and change clothes, he handed me two cards.

"This is my salary card, and this card has my savings. Buy whatever you want, you don't need to ask me."

I checked the balance of these two cards. The salary card had over fifty thousand, and the savings card had much more.

Later I learned that Caleb not only owned his own lab but also made investments and earned a lot of money.

From then on, I lived the life of a wealthy wife.

Choosing Caleb in this life was also to live that life again.

As for the wedding...

Who cares?

"No need for a wedding, it's too much trouble. Caleb's work must be very busy. We can just register," I said understandingly.

Caleb turned his head and looked at me silently, the corners of his mouth curving into an imperceptible arc, and nodded.
