Ethon frowned, a hint of anger flashing on his face. Fiona looked at him uneasily. She knew that they wouldn't be able to register for marriage that day.
"Did my mother talk to you?" Ethon asked, clenching his teeth.
Ethon's uncle didn't respond. He didn't want to admit this as he didn't want Ethon to get in a fight with his mother.
Monica clearly knew Ethon very well. He might look calm and gentle on the surface, but in reality, he was stubborn. He wouldn't stop at anything just to get what he wanted. He probably inherited this attitude from Monica herself.
Knowing this, Monica had already assumed that Ethon might do something like this—secretly get married to Fiona. This was why she talked to Ethon's uncle beforehand.
The atmosphere in the office was a little depressing. Fiona's eyes flickered as uneasiness filled her chest.
At that moment, the door suddenly flew open. Monica and Shyla walked in. .
They were both fuming with anger.
When Fiona saw them, her heart trembled. She had a bad feeling about this.
The fierce look on Monica's face scared her. Luckily, Ethon was by her side. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have the courage to continue this anymore.
Staying silent, Ethon cast a cold glance at his mother. He didn't even greet her, which only infuriated her further.
Since Ethon didn't want to be the first to say anything, Monica stared him down wordlessly. The thick silence lasted for a long while before Ethon finally averted his gaze.
He wasn't really afraid of her.
He knew that if he stayed here, things were only going to get worse.
That afternoon, Monica and Shyla had planned to see a movie. They were a bit early, so they opted to have some dessert first. They were taken aback when they received Ethon's uncle's message. They hadn't even taken a bite of their order when they found out that Ethon was registering for marriage.
Monica was seething when she read the message. Luckily, they were so close to the Marriage Bureau that it didn't take long for them to arrive there.
