When I divorced Lyle, I never thought I would go back to the City Hall so quickly. I could never imagine that I could still find happiness after that.
I thought I would just be Christopher’s side chick at most, staying beside him until he eventually got bored with me. However, Christopher proved me wrong and used his love to change me bit by bit.
Even though I lack confidence and didn’t have the courage to marry him, he was still willing to stay by my side until I finally agreed.
Standing at the entrance, we saw a large crowd of different people. Some were happy and some were sad while some got married and some got divorced.
“Let’s go, quickly. What if the employees are getting off work soon?” Christopher agitatedly pulled me toward the counter.
“No sighing. Aren’t you supposed to be smiling at the fact that we’re getting married?” Christopher then pinched my cheeks and pushed the edges of my mouth upward. I didn’t even know what to say. When he was serious, he looked handsome; when he was childish, he looked cute.
“I was just feeling a little emotional that I would come back here.”
“Are you saying you have never thought about marrying me before?” Christopher intentionally looked at me sternly. “Eve, how dare you play with my feelings. You need to take responsibility as my woman.”
“What responsibility? I’m already here. What more do you want from me?” I playfully poked at his waist.
Of course, I thought about marrying him. However, I was just too afraid and couldn’t think of what might happen in that future. In fact, I didn’t want to be disappointed and feel even more miserable.
Getting a marriage certificate was quite easy. When we left the City Hall, I was holding a small red book. On the other hand, Christopher was holding on to the green one, which showed that I was officially divorced from Lyle. “I’ll keep this one safe. If someone wants to talk about your relationship with Lyle, I’ll just show them this and tell them that you belong to me.”
“Who carries a divorce certificate on them every day? Are you stupid?” I didn’t even want to imagine that scenario playing out for real.
“You already know if I’m stupid or not, Darling.” He smiled and gave me a kiss. “If you want to scold me in the future, do it inside our home, Dear. I’ll get embarrassed if you do it in public.”
“Cut that crap! Just don’t do something stupid!” I exclaimed shyly. I felt a lot happier and more at ease marrying Christopher than when I did with Lyle.
Even though there were still obstacles that I had to face down the road, I felt like I could crush them all with Christopher by my side.
“Since we are already married, how about you start calling me Darling now? You always called me Christopher or Chris.” He held my waist and whispered into my ear, “Come on. Call me Darling.”
“I won’t!” I pouted, kissed him on his lips, and shouted, “Darling!”
Christopher exploded with joy. He took out his phone and glanced at the time. He also made me took out my phone before he announced, “It is now a quarter past eleven, we have made the vow and I declare Christopher Lane and Yvonne Tanner man and wife!”
