Flash Marriage with My Stoic Boss

Flash Marriage with My Stoic Boss

Flash Marriage with My Stoic Boss: Cold in Public, Passionate in Private Blurb Nora Ward has two rules for marriage: low-maintenance and zero drama. As a chief cardiology resident running on coffee and four hours of sleep, she doesn't have time for romance. A blind date gone wrong lands her at the wrong table with the right man — Adrian Cross, a cold, brutally efficient cardiothoracic surgeon just back from the US. They size each other up over iced coffee. Same schedule. Same pragmatism. Same need for a spouse who stays out of the way. Thirty minutes later, they leave the courthouse with a marriage certificate and no intention of ever seeing each other outside a hospital. Problem is — they work at the same hospital. And Adrian Cross just happens to be her department's newly appointed deputy chair. Now she has to face him at morning rounds, pretend he's a stranger, and ignore the way his voice drops an octave when he says "Dr. Ward" — professional, distant, infuriating. Rules are easy to make. Harder to keep when your stoic husband corners you in the on-call room after midnight and proves he's anything but cold. This is why you don't flash-marry your boss.

Chapter: Street Food and Soy Milk
The calendar mix-up was Nora's fault.Adrian had sent it while she was doing the shift schedule. She'd gotten sidetracked and completely forgotten."I'm heading back now.""Don't rush." He could hear noise in the background. "Are you far? Want me to pick you up?""I'm right outside Century Home."The noise was a high school couple arguing nearby. The boy was chasing the girl with a cup of oden, steam fogging his glasses as he apologized.Nora watched them for a second. "Adrian. Have you eaten?""Oden, roasted sweet potato, and roasted chestnuts. Want some?"As soon as she asked, she regretted it.Adrian Cross eating street food?"Never mind, forget I—""The oden. Thanks."Nora paused. "Really?"—Back at the on-call room. Door was empty.Summer was on night shift. Passing the nurses' station, Nora asked, "Anyone come looking for me?""No one." Summer shook her head.Nora pulled out her phone.Nora: [I'm back.]Ten minutes later, Adrian walked in with a cup of soy milk.Nora handed ove

Chapter: Not Playing House
The car pulled out of the lot.Feeling guilty about Nathan Wen, Nora didn't dare turn to look at Adrian for a long moment.Once they cleared the hospital gates, she pressed her lips together and borrowed Zoe's phrasing. "Everyone's kind of in awe of you. That's why they bought the same massager. You're not upset, are you?""Not upset." Adrian's voice was calm. "Relax. I don't yell at people."The car rolled to a stop in front of the notary office.Adrian asked Nora to open the glove compartment. "Clear document folder. Grab it for me."It was right on top. Transparent plastic. Nora pulled it out and couldn't avoid reading the label printed inside: *Postnuptial Property Agreement*.The car was parked at the notary entrance."Are we here to notarize your assets?""Yes. The property deeds." Adrian locked the car and walked her toward the entrance. "Vivian said — since we got the marriage license first, a simple property transfer could face legal challenges later without notarization."No

Chapter: The Massager Incident
Adrian left the on-call room before morning handoff.He took the trash with him on his way out.Nora wasn't used to being taken care of like this. She called after him. "Just leave the bag. I'll throw it out when I wake up.""Already got it."Adrian didn't think twice about it. "You can sleep a little longer."Then, as an afterthought: "If you have a free day coming up — even half an hour — call me."They worked in the same cardiac center. Adrian knew exactly how heavy Nora's load was. If he was asking for time, it was important. Nora nodded.—Warm congee in her stomach. Heat pack on her abdomen. She fell back asleep after Adrian left.In the morning, the nurses' station was buzzing about the emergency from the night before.Summer intercepted Nora the moment she walked out."Chief — I heard the newborn case was Dr. Cross's surgery?"Such a complex procedure used to be Dr. Zhao's domain. But the overnight Cardiac Surgery nurse said Dr. Zhao hadn't come in. Dr. Cross had done it.Six

Chapter: The Night Shift
The ER doctor's voice was clipped on the phone."Newborn. Transferred from Women's and Children's Hospital. Less than twenty-four hours old. Cyanotic lips. Severe hypoxia. Imaging confirms transposition of the great arteries."Transposition of the great arteries. The baby's two main arteries were swapped.Normally, the left ventricle connects to the aorta, the right to the pulmonary artery. In this baby, they were reversed. The aorta came off the right ventricle, the pulmonary artery off the left.The systemic and pulmonary circulations couldn't communicate. The baby wasn't getting enough oxygen.One of the most critical congenital heart defects. Emergency surgery.Nora stood up too fast. A wave of dizziness hit. She grabbed a glucose shot from the nurse and headed for the ER."Why wasn't there a transfer notice? Wasn't it detected on prenatal screening?"Normally, once a congenital defect was diagnosed, the hospital coordinated prenatal-to-postnatal care. There was no reason for the

Chapter: The Morning After the Confession
Adrian had been there before both of them.He hadn't meant to eavesdrop. But opening the door would have made things worse, so he'd waited."Massager." Adrian held out the box.Nora took it. "Did you not see my message?"Adrian patted his white coat pocket. "Phone's in the office.""Oh." A soft sound.Her thumb scraped across the edge of the box. The nail left a crescent mark on the packaging.Running into her new husband right after being confessed to — and dragging out the messy family history as a bonus."About—""Do you need me to handle the family situation?"They spoke at the same time.Adrian gestured for her to go first."That was Ethan Shaw. Mr. Shaw — the foundation director's grandson. Wendy, my half-sister, has feelings for him."Adrian was sharp. Nora knew he'd already pieced together the situation from her conversation."I'm not involved with him.""I know." Adrian nodded. "From a cost-effectiveness standpoint, if you had a suitable partner, you wouldn't have needed a bl

Chapter: The Confession
Someone who'd had sex and someone who'd never been in a relationship had very different priorities.Nora choked on Jenny's question.She coughed for a solid ten seconds. "I only have his ID photo.""Show me." Jenny craned her neck.The moment she saw it, a swear word slipped out. "Holy shit.""He looks like that in a government ID photo?""It's not Photoshopped?"Nora shook her head.Jenny understood now. "If my blind date looked like that, I'd flash-marry him too.""So. Is he good?""We've only met three times!" Nora hissed."Three times is plenty. Sex doesn't require multiple meetings."Jenny had her own theories. "You said yourself you're very satisfied with Adrian Cross. What does that mean?""It's chemical attraction. You're a doctor. You know this.""And you're a flash marriage, not a fake marriage. Why play the 'in-name-only' game?""Enough." Nora shoved a cookie into Jenny's mouth. "We're in front of a hospital. No R-rated content by the entrance."Jenny chewed and swallowed.
