30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 326

Feeling a rush of exhilaration was one thing, but deep down, there was still a pang of discomfort. Why did it seem like everyone else had such supportive fathers, cherishing their daughters like precious gems? And why was she stuck with a dad like hers?

Back in her office, Erik lost all appetite and called Estrella to cancel their lunch plans. She sat there, lost in thought until the clock struck two in the afternoon. Then, picking up her phone, she dialed Bryce. "Bryce, my dad's against us getting married. We had a big fight."

On the other end, Bryce chuckled dismissively, "He's just scared you're climbing the social ladder."

Bryce could read Tori like an open book without even having to meet him. After all, Erik had been close with them for so many years; their friendship was like that of kids. But now that he and Erik were talking marriage, it was a different ball game. He knew he had to be cautious.

"I get it," Erik said. "Bryce, do you have your family register with you?"

The more Tori tried to keep her from marrying Bryce, the more she wanted to do the exact opposite. So, she asked Bryce if he had his family register ready.

"On me. I'll head over now," Bryce replied, and they hung up.

Shortly after, Bryce's car pulled up outside Manning International, and Erik got in without a word. Sensing the mood, Bryce drove straight to the city hall.

They parked, and the city hall had just opened for business. Seeing people slowly making their way in, Erik suddenly fell silent, not moving to open the car door.

Bryce, seeing her hesitation, turned to her seriously, "Hey, we're at the doorstep now. Don't tell me you're having second thoughts."

His challenge worked. Erik unbuckled her seatbelt, scoffing, "Who's having second thoughts? I said we're getting married, so we're doing it."

With that, she stepped out of the car and headed towards the entrance. Bryce quickly followed her out.

As they approached the city hall entrance, Erik suddenly stopped. Just after her argument with Tori, she was now rushing to get a marriage license. She wondered if she was being too impulsive.

Bryce intentionally provoked her, "Hey, once this is done, you're officially off the market. Think it through. Don't make a decision in the heat of the moment you might regret later."

Without mentioning Tori, Erik was indeed contemplating her impulsiveness. But the moment Bryce brought up Tori, Erik's mood darkened. She turned to him, "Bryce, are you getting cold feet?"

"Absolutely not, I swear," Bryce reassured her, even raising his hand as if taking an oath.

Convinced by Bryce's sincerity, Erik said, "Well then, let's do this."

So, ten minutes later, they walked out, marriage license in hand.

Estrella's congratulations were followed by a playful nudge, "Now, the most important thing for you and Bryce is to start working on giving Keith and Amber a great-grandchild."

Erik blushed at the thought, never having imagined that she would one day be discussing starting a family of her own. After a little more chat, they ended the call.

Bryce, beaming across the table, knew their next step. Once they finished their meal, he drove Erik home, ready to start their life together. Estrella's words rang true; their immediate task was indeed to bless Keith and Amber with a new generation.

In the evening, as Estrella left the law firm, Jason was already there waiting for her. As Jason helped her into the car, Estrella shared the news, "Jesse and Bryce got their marriage license today."

Jason chuckled, "Bryce has been bragging all afternoon. Keith and Amber are over the moon, showing off the marriage license to everyone. The news is out."

Their story was a mix of impulsiveness, love, and a bit of rebellion, all leading to a new chapter in their lives. When Erik and Bryce tied the knot, it was like dropping a bomb in our social circle. Nobody saw it coming – Erik and Bryce? Together? And Erik, of all people, changing his whole vibe for Bryce? It was a shocker, to say the least. So now, they're the hot topic of conversation.

As we hit the road, Jason glanced over at Estrella and said, "Babe, when do you think we should visit your grandparents? We need to get your family registry documents sorted out."

With Bryce pulling off a surprise wedding, Jason was feeling the heat. He wanted to make things official and get their marriage certificate before the end of the year.
