Christopher put the ring on me and smiled. “See? It’s that easy. Now that it’s on you, you can never pull it out.”
Looking at the ring, I thought it was sweet, but I still felt a little uncertain.
“You silly girl. Just because you had a failed marriage before doesn’t mean you’ll always end up with the same fate. I won’t become someone like Lyle. He had it all but wasted it. He is the dumbest guy on earth. I won’t do that though. Hey, put the ring on for me.”
I stared into his eyes and saw his warm, loving gaze. Then, I was hopelessly mesmerized. All I could do was followed his order and obediently pushed the ring into his ring finger.
Suddenly, Christopher stood up, hugged me, and spun around joyously. “Haha! You belong to me now, Eve, so don’t even think about loving another man. Of course, if you dare, I’ll just kill that person right in front of you.”
“Put me down!” I was starting to get dizzy.
“Nope! I’ll never let you go!” He laughed childishly as he kissed me. In the end, we fell down onto the big bed together. He continued to laugh while I couldn’t move due to the dizziness.
Christopher immediately stood back up and rummaged through the drawers. I asked, “What are you looking for?”
“Your ID, of course! We should register our marriage right now since you already accepted my proposal. I can’t wait to make you part of the Lane family,” he excitedly replied.
“Huh?” I blinked. “Isn’t that a bit too fast?”
“Not at all. I initially planned to marry you the moment you divorced Lyle. However, you would definitely oppose the idea then, so I didn’t bring it up. Now that you have agreed to my proposal, I won’t feel at ease if we don’t get the marriage certificate immediately.”
When he finally found all the necessary documents, he tried to pull me outside, but I managed to stop him. “But Lyle hasn’t given me the divorce certificate yet!”
Like a magician, he pulled the divorce certificate out and dangled it in front of me. “He thought he could play me like a fool, but I still managed to obtain it.”
“I don’t believe it. Why would he give it to you?” Lyle was convinced that I would be miserable after I left him, and believed that I would crawl back to him for help. That is why he never gave me the divorce certificate. He wanted to have the upper hand and was waiting for me to beg him and be grateful to him for whatever help he was willing to throw at me. Hence, there’s no way he’ll allow me to marry another man.
Christopher raised his chin proudly. “There’s nothing that can stop me from claiming you as my wife.”
I rolled my eyes at him. I had a feeling that he blackmailed Crystal to give him the divorce certificate.
Christopher put a coat on me, stuffed me into the car, and prepared to drive us out of the gate. Sabrina waved at us when she walked in.
Christopher rolled down the window and shouted, “We’re too busy getting married! Please excuse yourself and don’t interrupt our big moment!”
He then stepped on the gas and zipped past Sabrina.
