Chapter 793: As Silver Fox finished speaking, Marissa, mid-bite into a chicken drumstick, paused abruptly. She quickly turned her gaze to Silver Fox. Just a while ago during their phone conversation, Silver Fox had mentioned feeling lost. Marissa had been about to inquire further during the meal when Silver Fox revealed she was married.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was startling because just yesterday, she was single and expressing concerns over finding a suitable partner to continue her family lineage for her grandmother. How could she possibly be married so suddenly today? "You are married?” Marissa asked, her voice tinged with both surprise and amusement. "To whom? Did you find a husband overnight? Was he delivered to you by divine intervention?" Silver Fox cleared her throat awkwardly. "He is Burnet." The news struck Marissa like a bolt of lightning, leaving her momentarily dazed. It now made sense why everyone had tried to tell her about Burnet's marriage. He had married her best friend! Despite her shock, Marissa managed to finish her chicken, her appetite waning with each bite. "What exactly happened?" she asked, eager to understand the sudden turn of events.
galopens doors to new adventures Silver Fox unfolded the story of the past night, detailing every unexpected twist and turn. After absorbing the tale, Marissa fixed Silver Fox with a look of incredulity mixed with reproach. "Did you really marry so impulsively? You're usually so sharp. How could you fall right into the trap set up by Burnet? Are you insane? Have you lost your senses?" Silver Fox's expression was a mix of embarrassment and frustration. She pouted and said, "You were the one who suggested I have a child with him as a solution to our issues." Marissa burst out laughing, shaking her head. "I was joking! Did you really take that seriously?" Silver Fox shrugged helplessly, clearly at a loss for words. Marissa shot her a playful glare before returning to her meal. Once she had eaten her fill, she looked up and, with a twinkle in her eye, said, "Actually, marrying Bumight not be such a bad idea after all." Silver Fox looked perplexed. “But didn't you just callinsane for doing exactly that?" Marissa chuckled again, “Oh, con, I was only teasing. Why so serious?" Visibly annoyed, Silver Fox pushed against Marissa's shoulder. "I need you to be clear. What's true and what's just you joking around?" Setting down her utensils, Marissa clapped her hands for emphasis, her tone becoming sincere. "Okay, let's be serious then. I noticed that Buseemed particularly fond of you yesterday, but I never thought my hunch would be confirmed so quickly. Honestly, having kids with Buis definitely a better idea than with that toy boy Ernst." Silver Fox's tension eased. She had been feeling uncertain about her swift decision to marry. Resting her chin in her hands, she let out a weary sigh. "It's just that... I'm actually a bit scared of him now. Right after we got married and walked out of City Hall, he kissedright there on the street." Marissa turned to look at her friend, a gentle smile spreading across her face. "You're already married and planning a future together. A kiss is pretty natural, isn't it? Why does it bother you so much?" Silver Fox bit her lip, a hint of a blush on her cheeks. “Because that was my first kiss." She expressed her disappointment. "I always pictured my first kiss in a romantic setting, not on scrowded street. I wasn't ready for it at all." Marissa looked at her friend, her expression unreadable. Words of comfort eluded her, as she knew Silver Fox was experiencing these romantic milestones for the first time. However, the conversation took a surprising turn when Silver Fox leaned in with a curious gleam in her eye. "Black Snake, what about your first kiss? Have you had it?" Marissa's cheeks flushed a deep red. The question unexpectedly brought back memories of Connor, each one a vivid recollection of their kisses.
Silver Fox waited for response, but Marissa remained silent, her embarrassment growing. Seeing Marissa's reaction, she couldn't contain her excitement. "Look at you blushing! You must have had your first kiss. Was it Connor?" "What are you talking about?" Marissa said, both embarrassed and slightly irritated.

Silver Fox pressed on, her voice tinged with excitement. "It has to be Connor, doesn't it? Ohy you said you are only having a sham marriage that's headed for divorce, but you've actually kissed each other. What's it like kissing the richest man in the city?"
Up until that moment, Marissa had been relatively composed. But Silver Fox's teasing pushed her into am corner, making her feel exposed and uncomfortable. In a mix of denial and frustration, she blurted out, "No! I've never kissed a guy. Do you think I'm as naive as you are, unable to stand my ground?"
