Hearing the word "disdain" escape her lips, Abner's brow furrowed deeply.
He had never thought this way before; Shirley was incomparable to him, her significance towering over everyone else's combined. Just the thought of her marrying someone else was enough to turn his inner world into a barren wasteland.
Shirley held a place in his heart that no one else could ever occupy, having dazzled him time and again throughout the years.
"Shirley..."
He pulled her into an embrace, "All I care about is whether or not you like me."
Shirley swallowed hard, the word "like" circled her mouth before being swallowed back down.
Abner felt uncertain, wanting to ask again, but knowing some questions were better left unasked.
He guided her to the dining table, serving her some food.
"Let's eat something first."
Shirley's legs were weak, and seeing his contented expression made her cheeks flush with color.
Abner hardly ate, spending most of the time watching her. She ate quietly and elegantly, and her cheeks reddened further upon noticing his gaze.
After the meal, Abner pulled out his household registration book.
"What about yours? The civil affairs office is still open; we could go and register."
On impulse, Shirley fetched her own household registration book too. As he led her to the civil affairs office, she felt like she was walking on air.
And then they had their marriage certificates in hand.
"Abner."
"Hmm?"
Was this it? She wanted to ask but hesitated, fearing it might seem like she was having second thoughts.

Is author playing with our emotions?...
Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
