LET'S GO GET MARRIED

Kendrick's eyes lit up with joy as he watched Amelia eagerly accept the steak. "I'll eat with you," he declared, carving off a generous portion of the steak for himself, then slicing a smaller piece to offer Amelia.

"This is my last bite; I'm too full for more," Amelia insisted.

"Alright, last piece it is. How about dessert?" Kendrick suggested.

"You should have asked earlier! I wish I had saved room for dessert instead of filling up on your steak. Now I'm too stuffed," Amelia complained, patting her full stomach.

"Alright, I apologize. How about a scoop of ice cream?" Kendrick again suggested.

"No, let's save it for next time. I've always had a small appetite since I was young; otherwise, I get terrible indigestion. But you should eat more. I'll watch you eat," Amelia explained.

"I understand. I'm quite full, too." Kendrick wiped his hands and helped Amelia up from the chair.

As they stepped out of the restaurant, Kendrick took Amelia's hand and said, "Let's go and get married."

After officially tying the knot, the newlyweds exited the civil bureau, holding onto their red marriage registry cards.

Once inside the car, Kendrick looked into Amelia's eyes and said, "Honey, remember, you belong to me, and I promise to give you everything," before tenderly kissing her.

"Alu, let's visit The Grand Palace," exclaimed Mr. Yang. The Grand Palace is a luxurious and prestigious shopping mall exclusively available to members and owned by Kendrick's Company. It offers an exquisite collection of top-tier brands and products.

Upon their arrival at the entrance of the mall, they were greeted by a line of top-level executives and managers eagerly waiting to welcome Kendrick and Amelia.

"Welcome, Mr. Yang," they exclaimed, expressing their enthusiasm.

Kendrick tightly held Amelia's hand and proudly introduced her, "Everyone, meet my loving wife, Amelia. Please ensure she always receives the finest service, whether I'm with her or not."

Amelia was taken aback; she didn't enjoy being treated as a VIP. She tugged at Kendrick's arm and shook her head, signaling to him that she didn't want special treatment.

Kendrick reassured her with a gentle pat on her hand and insisted it was okay. Kendrick then guided Amelia to a nearby luxurious jewelry shop, where she gazed at the dazzling displays with a mix of astonishment and reluctance.

Amelia was no stranger to the opulent shop, celebrated for its extraordinary and one-of-a-kind designs. She often found herself yearning to be part of this prestigious company, channeling her creativity into their designs.

"Mr. Yang, I have prepared what you requested; please follow me," the shop manager announced, leading them to an exclusive VIP room.

"Mr. Yang, Madam, please take a seat, and I will fetch the items for you," the manager insisted with a warm smile, escorting them to plush, well-appointed seats.

"Why are there no other people around?" Amelia asked Kendrick. Amelia had been here countless times with Nerissa, and the absence of the usual crowd was unsettling. This mall may not be as crowded as others, but there was always some activity. Today, however, it was eerily quiet.

"I instructed Alu to clear out the people," Kendrick replied nonchalantly as if this was a routine occurrence.

"You! Why do you have to be so overbearing?!" Amelia couldn't believe Kendrick's audacious behavior.

"Honey, if I don't do that, do you know how hard it would be for the security to control the crowd if the people see me walking here while holding your hand?" Kendrick explained.

As Amelia listened to Kendrick's words, she couldn't help but acknowledge the wisdom in them. Kendrick was a well-known personality, frequently making headlines despite not being in show business. The implications of being recognized as his wife suddenly dawned on her. Amelia realized the potential challenges and complications it could bring.

"Why didn't I think about this earlier?" Amelia pondered, feeling the weight of the situation settle in.

Kendrick noticed that Amelia seemed lost in thought. Concerned, he gently asked, "Honey, what are you thinking?"

Amelia's response was tinged with a sense of unease as she confessed, "I'm worried about the attention I'll attract as your wife. I fear that other women will see me as a target because of our relationship." Despite Amelia's solemn mood, Kendrick couldn't help but burst into laughter at her words.

"Are you having second thoughts about marrying me now? Luckily, it's too late to back out since we're already married! But don't worry, I will always protect you. Who would dare to mess with my wife?" Kendrick spoke a mix of playfulness and sincerity as he pulled Amelia closer, enveloping her in his arms for reassurance.

"I know; I trust you," Amelia softly whispered.

Kendrick felt his heart swell with love at Amelia's response; he leaned in to kiss her forehead, "I promise. I'll never let anything harm you."

"Um."

"Mr. Yang, here are the items you ordered." "Upon their arrival, the shop manager and servers presented Mr. Yang with three elegant trays of exquisite jewelry. As they approached, they couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment as they noticed the couple locked in a loving embrace.

"Let me take a look. Honey, come, let's select our wedding ring," Kendrick said to his beloved wife, Amelia.

Amelia was utterly captivated by the array of jewelry before her. Being a skilled jewelry designer, she always enjoyed immersing herself in various designs, constantly seeking inspiration and learning from the artistry of others – a stark contrast to fellow designers who often succumb to pride and disregard the work of others."

"Kendrick presented a couple's ring adorned with large diamonds to Amelia. "What do you think about this?" he inquired.

Concerned, Amelia responded, "I fear that it's too extravagant, and I might lose my hand if I wear it."

Kendrick sought Amelia's opinion, "Do you think it's too ostentatious?"

Recognizing Kendrick's desire for something exceptional, Amelia was aware that the chosen design might not suit her petite fingers.

In an attempt to convey her point, she delicately slid the woman's ring onto her ring finger and showed it to Kendrick.

"Look at this ring. It's enormous on my finger; it looks like it's about to swallow my whole hand!" Kendrick finally noticed the stark contrast between the size of her hands and his.

"You know what, why don't you make the choice? Select whichever one you fancy!" Kendrick proposed.

"Um."
