I Married the President

“I do!” Claire Sinclair immediately walked over and sat down across from him.

Adrian Quincy looked up abruptly, his eyes meeting hers. “Tomorrow, we’re going to the Aethelgard Police Department to file a report.”

“File a report? For what?”

“It’s hard to say if she’s really been kidnapped. We’ll have the police intervene first, then see what those people do next.”

Claire Sinclair couldn’t resist asking, “If they grabbed the impostor, are you going to rescue her?”

Adrian Quincy nodded. “Not only will I rescue her, but I need her to keep playing the part of my mother for a while longer.”

Claire Sinclair didn’t quite understand what he meant. “Why would you do that?” she asked.

Adrian Quincy looked at his wife’s innocent face. He hated to do it, but he told her the truth anyway.

“More and more unknown forces will try to interfere in the future. Since I still haven’t found my real mother’s whereabouts, my only option is to turn this into an offensive move.”

“Oh… that makes sense. Turning defense into offense is the safer bet. It might even make those people show their hand!”

A hint of apology flickered in Adrian Quincy’s eyes. “Claire,” he said in a low voice, “I’m afraid you’ll have to endure this for a little while longer.”

Claire Sinclair said dismissively, “Endure what? The way you’re spoiling me, I’ll turn into a pig soon. No one has it as good as I do.”

Her words made Adrian Quincy laugh. He stood up abruptly. “It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed.”

“Mhm!” ‘The best part of every day,’ she thought, ‘was having someone to keep her company—to wash up and brush their teeth with, and to lie down and sleep beside.’

The next day, Weibo was flooded with news of Lucas Rhodes and Ivy Tanner’s wedding, which overshadowed the buzz about Claire Sinclair and Adrian Quincy’s breakup and reconciliation.

Claire Sinclair couldn’t be bothered with such things. Early in the morning, she accompanied her husband to the Aethelgard Police Department to file the report.

When the Great Demon King Quincy appeared in the police department, all eyes were instantly on him.

As it happened, a few delinquent girls who had been brought in for questioning were at the station. The moment they saw the Great Demon King Quincy, they lost their cool.

“Oh my god, what’s Young Master Quincy doing here?”

“He’s even more handsome in person! Do you think I can get a picture?”

“Didn’t he break up with Claire Sinclair? Why are they still together?”

Adrian Quincy held his wife’s hand and, oblivious to the onlookers, walked to the front desk. “Hello,” he said in a low voice. “My mother has been missing for over twenty-four hours. It’s highly likely she’s been kidnapped. I’m here to file a report.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t quiet either—just loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.

The young woman behind the counter was so overwhelmed by his presence that she could barely breathe.

‘Oh my god,’ she thought. ‘I can’t believe it. The legendary Young Master Quincy is actually here in person to file a report.’

The young woman was starstruck for a moment before she remembered to have them fill out a form and provide any relevant evidence.

Claire Sinclair took out her phone and showed the officer the text message she had received the day before.

After giving their statements, the pair made a conspicuous exit from the police department.

The moment the couple left, the delinquent girls immediately pulled out their phones and posted on Weibo: *Major news! Just saw Young Master Quincy at the police station with his girlfriend, filing a report that his mom was kidnapped!*

The news spread like wildfire. After circulating all over Weibo, it finally hit the trending topics list.

Under the hashtag #YoungMasterQuincysMomKidnapped, netizens played amateur detectives, speculating wildly about the full story, but no one had any definitive answers.

However, sharp-eyed netizens also noticed that Young Master Quincy and Claire Sinclair hadn’t actually broken up, and that Claire Sinclair wasn’t indifferent to her future mother-in-law, as the rumors had claimed.

After all, the disappearance of Young Master Quincy’s mother was a major event. The Aethelgard Police Department put out a public call for leads, and countless netizens got involved, fanning the flames of the discussion and keeping the topic white-hot.
