Certificate Collection

"Congratulations, you two, the marriage certificate has been printed. I wish you two a hundred years of good luck and have a precious son early."

The staff handed us two small red books that had been stamped with the Civil Affairs Bureau's seal.

I looked at the three words on the eye-catching marriage certificate, and I felt a little unreal.

I...

Are you married like this?

I was still thinking, but Nate Archibald said to me: " Do you still have a place to stay?"

I came back to my senses, fixedly looking into his eyes, and said pitifully, "No ."

In fact, how could I possibly have no place to stay?

Don't say anyone else, just say Simon Miller, who must have been prepared for me a long time ago.

But since I plan to marry the man in front of me, it is to be able to get close to him, so it is impossible to reveal that I have other residences.

Nate Archibald didn't question my performance.

He said to me without any thought: "Now that we are legal husband and wife, you and I are going home, Aaron. Send me and my wife back."

"Yes, Sir."

Aaron led the way and went out first to drive, while I was still standing behind the man.

I couldn't help but think about his wife just now.

WIFE.

It's strange.

But there was a trace of strangeness in my heart as if there was a faint ripple in the originally calm heart.

Until I got into the car, my heart was still swayed by the word.

This feeling was very complicated, and I couldn't explain it clearly.

I secretly saw the man's face in the reflection in the glass window.

I didn't dare to look back directly at him, I could only look at him slowly from the reflection in the glass window.

He was handsome, and now he is my husband and I am his wife.

I just married him like this?

Thinking of what he said before about not getting a divorce, I couldn't help but feel guilty.

It was only a temporary choice for me to marry him.

When I get what I want, I will leave him mercilessly.

I was in a trance, but the man next to me suddenly turned to look at me.

His voice was very low and pleasant, with a drowning magnetism.

"I know why you married me."

"??"

Hearing him say this, I suddenly tensed up and clenched my hands into fists.

Turning his head to look at him, looking directly into his eyes, he forced a smile: "Nate, what do you mean? I don't seem to understand."

Does he know?

Know which aspect?

"You don't understand?"

The corner of his mouth evoked a one-sided smile as if he could see through my heart at a glance, and I was a little short of breath when he looked at him like that.

Could it be that Simon Miller accidentally exposed my identity?

No, Simon Miller, doesn't do things so carelessly.

Just when my heart reached my throat, Nate Archibald said again:

"I know that you didn't just want some money or just to earn some face when you married me. What you need is the power of the Archibald family to deal with the Rhodes family you want to deal with."

He looked forward with his eyes, "You don't need to hide your ambitions in front of me, now you are my woman, except for the things I don't allow, you can do the rest boldly, with my protection, you don't need to have any burden."

"...thanks."

I thank you very seriously.

I am very grateful that he will say this to me, and at the same time, he is relieved that he does not know my true identity.

"Nate, we're home."

After Aaron stopped the car, he took the initiative to go to the back and open the door.

I was sitting in the car watching Nate Archibald, moving neatly from the car to the wheelchair, raising my eyebrows.

Even though this man was disabled in both legs, he didn't seem to have any trouble with his agility, and he wasn't as weak as I imagined.

I didn't dare to delay, I opened the door and got out of the car.

Looking at the magnificent and imposing ancient-style building in front of me, I couldn't help but take a second glance.

"Stylish."
