Ice and Fire novel Chapter 685

"Get married?" Fred asked, astounded at what Greg just told him. His decision to marry Violet was not a surprise. His decision to marry this fast surprised him the most. After all, Violet did not just come from a simple Chinese family. She's a member of the Chu Family. And they needed to get the Chu Family's blessing before they could get married.

"Yes, Dad," Greg assured Fred. He knew exactly what his father thought when he saw the expression on Fred's face. "The Chu Family already gave us their blessing, with Uncle Jackson, Auntie Cherry, and the Yuwen family. They all approved our marriage."

"Are you sure about this, son?" Fred was still trying to grasp the information he just heard. He still couldn't believe Greg and Violet were getting married.

"Yes, Violet told me in person," Greg reported to his father.

"Okay, have you thought of your plans?" When Fred saw the determination in Greg's eyes, he then accepted the fact.

"We're going to get our marriage certificate first tomorrow. And then we'll talk about the wedding ceremony," Greg stated.

"Don't you want a wedding ceremony first?" Fred questioned Greg. Usually, a wedding ceremony must take place before getting married. He wasn't expecting that Greg and Violet wanted to get married first.

"That'll take too long. We want to get married first," Greg answered.

Fred couldn't think of how to respond to Greg.

Fred took his time before he said his next words. "You can go get the household register in the study. And invite Violet for lunch here tomorrow."

"Thanks, Dad, I'll tell Violet," Greg replied with a smile. He was about to turn away when he remembered one more thing he needed to request from Fred. "Uh, Dad?" Fred faced his son,"Yes, Greg?"

Greg paused and eyed the kitchen door before he returned to Fred,"Please don't tell Sharon anything yet."

"Huh? But why?" Fred was confused. He knew they got along and they had a good time tonight. Why was Greg asking him not to say anything?

"Just tell her after we get the marriage certificate. I just have a feeling she might interfere if she knew before we got it," Greg explained. Greg knew his Stepmother's mind. They had a good relationship now because he had always stopped her from learning more about Violet. If she knew they were getting the marriage certificate tomorrow, she would definitely do something to stop it.

"I don't know, son," Fred told Greg honestly. Fred knew his son also had mixed opinions about Sharon. And he understood why Greg would want to keep this from her but she and Fred spent every day together. It was going to be hard to keep this secret from her.

"Dad, please do this for me. Just this one, please," Greg begged. He couldn't allow anyone to destroy his happiness.

Fred pondered on his son's words and finally agreed to it. "Okay, just this one. Remember to ask Violet for lunch."

"Okay, thanks, Dad. I'll go upstairs now," Greg remarked with a smile. He got up and pranced towards the stairs.

The next morning, Greg stood outside the main entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He fidgeted in place while he kept looking at his watch, which now read 8:50 am.

Greg couldn't wait any longer and took out his phone to dial Violet's number. He had already been waiting for 10 minutes at this point.

"Greg!" Violet answered on the first ring.
