Tom thought about those questions for a long while but could not find the answer, so he gave up and replied to Toby's message, saying that he understood and would order the others to make the arrangements.
After all that was done, he discovered that he could not sleep. How can I sleep when President Fuller is finally getting married? He has finally moved Miss Reed and is going to remarry her! How can anyone sleep after knowing such great news?
Therefore, Tom lay on his bed alone, trying to regain his sleepiness and fall back asleep.
However, the news Toby brought to him was too shocking, so no matter how hard he tried, his eyes still stayed wide open until sunrise. So, he decided to forget about sleeping and went to do whatever Toby ordered him with two dark patches under his eyes.
His first stop was the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Though the bureau had not begun operations for the day, it did not stop him from heading inside. After all, Toby was a big shot here, so Tom headed inside and mentioned his purpose. Not only was he not rejected, but the personnel inside the bureau also readily agreed to head over to the hospital later and help Toby and Sonia register their marriage.
Once that was done, Tom went to his next destination, the jewelry shop, to purchase wedding rings for the couple.
Originally, President Fuller had secretly prepared a wedding gown and ring for Miss Reed, but those were still in the making, so we can't use them now. These ready-made wedding rings will only be used temporarily because once the rings President Fuller had custom-designed are done, these will lose their value because the custom-designed wedding rings are way more valuable. The main diamond is a large and exquisite pink diamond, the only one in the world, and the one behind the wedding ring is also the top jewelry designer around the globe. Once those rings are ready, they will surely shock the world, but all of this is in the future. The most important thing now is to buy rings for President Fuller and Miss Reed. They are waiting for them.
However, Tom did not know how to choose them because he did not even have a girlfriend. Therefore, he opted for a straightforward solution—asking for their most precious jewelry.
Although the store's most precious jewelry still could not compare with the ones Toby had prepared, they were still jewelry that was hard to come by globally worth millions.
After paying for them, Tom put the rings away and headed for a clothing store to buy clothes for the two of them.
At last, he drove his car toward the hospital.
Coincidentally, the personnel from the Civil Affairs Bureau had also arrived at the same time as him, so they all headed for Toby's ward together.
However, they discovered that the couple was still asleep in each other's arms when they got there.
As for the reason this happened, it was all Toby's fault. The two had been talking about their wedding, which then escalated into discussing their child's name.
Sonia had thought about stopping him because she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy, so they need not talk about such things now. Yet, seeing how excited he was, she could not bear to interrupt him. Hence, she let him talk while she listened patiently.
In the end, they forgot about the time and only went to bed after midnight. That was why they were still asleep and why Sonia's face blushed red in embarrassment after being woken up by Tom and the others.
On the other hand, Toby had always been thick-skinned, so he was not embarrassed but excited because he and his lover were about to start their journey into life after marriage!
"Since you've all arrived, let's begin." Toby leaned against the headboard and calmly instructed the others. However, the excitement and anticipation in his eyes seemed like they were about to overflow.
Sonia rolled her eyes. "Why are you in such a hurry? At least wait until we're done washing up and eating breakfast."
Is he not going to wash up just because he's in a hurry to register our marriage?
After she reminded him, he realized he had yet to do any of those.
On the other hand, the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau found them funny. They had seen many situations like this, whereby the couples were either too nervous, too excited, or too anxious that embarrassing moments became inevitable.
However, this was not bad because getting married was wonderful, and having some embarrassing moments added to the fun of such a memorable event.
"Mr. Fuller, Miss Reed, you can take your time. We can wait for you to finish getting ready," the person in charge told them.
Although Toby wanted to get things over with as quickly as possible, he was more worried about Sonia's condition rather than their marriage certificate.
Since she was hungry, they would have breakfast first.
"Tom, bring them to the lounge and prepare some snacks and drinks. We'll head over there shortly," Toby ordered Tom.
After acknowledging his orders, Tom left the two bags and led the others away.
Later, Sonia helped Toby get off the bed, and they went to wash up together. Her morning routine was the same as usual, so it was not anything peculiar.
However, the man was different because he was washing up so quickly as if a war had broken out. He was very refined, but this time, he traded his refinement for speed to get their marriage certificate sooner. Therefore, water was all over the place after he finished washing up.
The sight of him made Sonia laugh.
The same thing happened during breakfast as well. Usually, Toby would eat his chowder slowly and elegantly, but this time, he finished his breakfast in just a few mouthfuls.
Also, he was not satisfied with his speed and started urging Sonia to finish hers quickly. She found his actions hilarious, but she also felt a little displeased. He's so eager to get married like he's possessed or something.
Shaking her head resignedly, she quickened her pace and finished her breakfast.
Afterward, Toby gave her the clothes Tom bought for them. "Take a look and see if you like them. If you don't, I'll have Tom buy new ones," he said.
Then, Sonia opened the bag and pulled out the clothing, revealing a pale yellow ball gown. Her eyes immediately lit up. "It's so beautiful."
There were not many women who disliked dresses, especially ones that were as beautiful as this.
However, the gown Tom bought had a high demand for the wearer's figure. That was why many women liked such a dress, but only a few ever dared to wear the dress out in public.
Though Sonia was confident with her figure, this was a first for her because she never had an opportunity to wear such an exquisite gown. Back at the Fuller Residence, she was constantly wearing an apron, so there was no opportunity to wear beautiful dresses.
Now, she was busy with work and had no time to dress up.
"Do you like it?" Toby already knew the answer from her sparkling eyes, but he raised the question anyway.
Nodding, she replied, "I do. It's so pretty. I didn't expect Tom would buy such a beautiful dress."
At that moment, Tom came into the room to help Toby with his clothes. He happened to hear that and adjusted his glasses while saying, "I didn't know what to buy at first, so I asked the saleswoman, who recommended this. I was worried you might not like it."
"I do!" Sonia nodded while replying, "How could I not like such a beautiful dress?"
"That's great to hear. Miss Reed, you can head over and change your clothes now. The stylist has arrived, and she'll help with your hair and makeup. I'll bring President Fuller to change his clothes and do his hair." Tom went behind Toby and held the wheelchair's handle.
She hummed in response. "Sure. You guys go ahead, and I'll head over soon. See you later." She smiled at Toby and walked toward the room she usually stayed in.
