Chapter 455 Marriage Certificate 2
Queenie was very comfortable staying at the Gardner Residence since Colton said they were going to get their marriage certificate.
Even though Wendy did not like her, she still tried to be nice to get on her good side since they would see each other a lot more in the future.
Ever since he told her the registration was next week, she had been counting the days. It was torture for her as the days seemed like years. Every day, she would hope for the day to come sooner. Finally, it was the day they would register their marriage.
Queenie stood at the door, waiting eagerly for Colton to arrive in the morning. She stood so long that her legs were sore, but there was no sign of him.
She wanted to give him a call but was afraid of disturbing him. So, she could only stand there and wait.
Just when she was going to give up, Colton finally returned with a group of people trailing behind him. They were all dressed in suits that made them look like salespeople.
Queenie took a step forward and looked as Colton walked toward her. Her eyes were twinkling with love as she called out affectionately and glanced at the men behind him, “Colton, you’re back. Who are they?”
He walked straight inside and answered, “They’re here to help with the registration. I asked them to come because it’s not convenient for you to go out.”
She was thrilled as a hint of excitement showed up on her face. It meant that he cared about her since he was being so thoughtful.
“Alright. You’re so thoughtful,” she said as she lowered her head bashfully.
“Let’s go upstairs and let them start the process,” Colton answered quietly as he walked up.
Queenie quickly followed him as she was just overwhelmed by happiness and felt like she was walking on air.
They entered the study room, and the employee took out a document for Queenie to sign. Seeing that Colton had already signed his name, she did not think much and signed hers too.
After the documents were signed, most couples would move on to get their pictures taken. However, Colton did not say anything, and Queenie was anxious as she waited. So, she initiated the conversation. “Colton, don’t we need our picture for the marriage certificate?”
He glanced at her and said indifferently, “You’re still pregnant now. It’s not convenient to get the picture taken. We’ll get someone to Photoshop one for the time being until the baby is delivered. Then, we’ll get a new picture taken.”
Queenie furrowed her brows at the mention of using a Photoshopped picture. She glanced at Colton carefully and urged, “Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, Colton. Why don’t we just take a picture? It’s not a big deal.”
He narrowed his eyes and scanned her up and down as he snubbed her. “Aren’t you supposed to think of the baby inside you? This thing radiates. If anything happens, can you take responsibility for that?”
As he made it sound so severe, she started to go pale, and her fingers twitched. She hesitated, “Not… It can’t be that serious, right?”
Colton stared at her for a moment, then said, “Since you want the picture taken, we’ll get the marriage certificate processed after you’ve delivered the baby.”
Queenie’s face suddenly looked as if she had seen a ghost. That baby was destined not to be born. Then, it meant the marriage certificate would not be processed. So, she quickly changed her mind. “No. It’s alright. What you said makes sense. We’ll just use Photoshop. I don’t have a problem with it.”
Colton did not have much of a reaction even after she finally compromised. He asked the employee to proceed with the documents. As the picture was not ready, they stamped on the certificate first and made the necessary records in the system.
Looking at the marriage certification in her hand, Queenie could still not quite believe it. When she saw Colton’s name written on the certificate, she finally relaxed. They finally registered their marriage. I’m officially Mrs. Gardner!
