Upon hearing this, Beata glared at Chace with a pout and said, "How can you blame me? I'm not easily startled."
Chace chuckled. "Alright, Princess Knight. Whatever you say. One word: spoiled."
Beata pouted again and retorted, "Besides, I know about your driving skills. You have fast and furious down pat but still got scared by me? Don't lie to me, Chace."
Chace laughed it off. "Okay okay. Whatever you say."
Finally, Beata's gaze landed on the characters of the marriage registry.
She couldn't wait for the car to stop before jumping out.
Thankfully, Chace had locked the doors or she would've bolted out like a wild monkey.
Beata knew that Chace was doing it on purpose and glared at him as she said, "You're trying to kill me with worry!"
"I'm just looking out for your safety," replied Chace as he unlocked the car door. "Alright then, get off now."
Before he could even finish his sentence, Beata had already opened the door and rushed out.
She looked like a flying squirrel in motion.
With no other choice left, Chase grabbed his bag containing the document and white shirt, and quickly walked towards the destination.
Today wasn't any special day, and it was getting late too. The people who needed to register probably already did so long ago.
As soon as Beata entered, she saw River and Averi waiting there for them.
Finally, she felt relieved. Thank goodness, her ship wasn't a tragedy.
However, the next second Beata charged over to them with an angry look on her face. She stood with her hands on her hips and glared at them both. Her posture startled all of the staff present.
Beata angrily demanded, "When did you two get together?"
The staff had been secretly discussing how good-looking this couple was and how beautiful their wedding photos would be. But now that this young girl had suddenly charged over to them like this, they couldn't help but assume that she was trying to steal someone's fiancé.
Especially considering how pitiful she looked after being hurt by some scumbag or scum woman.
But just looking at her back made it clear that she was too young for any of this drama. Even her voice sounded childish.
Although no one said anything out loud, everyone's nerves were on edge. This was a serious place after all. While conflicts did arise due to disagreements from time to time, most cases involved divorce rather than taking someone for marriage by force.
Of course there were still those who tried to steal someone else's partner from time to time - such was life - but everyone knew they needed to be careful about it, because if things got out of hand, it could get ugly quickly.
However, soon enough, things took a different turn altogether.
River looked up at Beata and saw that she had nothing in her hands, not even a phone. He smirked and said, "You really love to join in on the fun."
Beata snorted and said, "Don't change the subject. Come clean, when did you two get together?"
"I'll tell you later. Where's the stuff?" River asked.
Beata shrugged and said, "It's not with me."
Just then, Chace walked in carrying a bag.
Beata pointed at Chace and said, "Chace has it."
River shook his head and stood up. He patted Beata on the head as he walked by her and said, "Being proactive is useless if all you do is delay things. If we miss our chance to pick up the license because of you later on when they close for the day, it'll be your fault."
Beata sighed inwardly. This was really her own brother bullying her like this?
But at least River going to change gave Beata an opportunity to sit down next to Averi.
