A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 257

"How about we go to the courthouse next time?" Sierra said. She might've agreed to marry Theo, but this was all too sudden. She still wasn't prepared for it.

Theo remained calm and casually put her birth certificate on his thigh. "I arranged for my men to make an appointment beforehand. Someone's waiting for us there. We can get our marriage certificate as soon as we're there."

Sierra had run out of excuses now. She was so nervous that her palms got sweaty, and she bit her lips as she stared off into space.

What would her future entail if she spent the rest of her life with Theo?

Theo noticed signs of unease and squeezed her hand. Then, he said softly, "You'll still be free after you marry me, Sierra."

That was why he didn't want her to feel reluctant to do it, nor did he want her to reject him.

Sierra looked into Theo's eyes and found that he was genuine about it. Her panicked emotions also gradually calmed down. She thought back to the time she spent with him and found that there wasn't anything uncomfortable about it.

Instead, Theo had been thoughtful and considerate. He made her feel taken care of.

At the thought of it, Sierra was completely okay with getting married to him.

Back in the courthouse, the chief administrative officer, George Witt, and his staff checked their watches from time to time, looking anxious.

"Mr. Witt. Why isn't Mr. Gray here yet? Is it because his bride rejected him?"

George rolled his eyes at her and said calmly, "Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? We wouldn't have to worry about the declining marriage rate if every man had Mr. Gray's stunning looks and impressive family background."

How could any lady turn someone like Mr. Gray down?

The lady staff, Lydia Welch, pondered on it and nodded in agreement.

Two minutes later, they watched as Theo got out of the car first before he reached into the car and held a delicate, fair arm.

"Watch out."

Theo's tone was so soft and gentle that it was drastically different from what they remembered about him.

Sierra's feet were a little wobbly when she looked at the entrance of the courthouse. When she got out of the car, she moved down slowly.

Sierra's face was completely reddened as she nervously gripped the hem of her dress.

Now, everything was finally in place. Lydia made quick work and printed their marriage certificates. Then, she stamped the papers and made them official.

Back in Gray Manor, Benson made a beeline to the study as soon as he walked through the main door. He spoke as he opened the door to the study, "You have to help me out, Grandpa."

Edward was in the middle of his art. He was so startled by Benson's unannounced entrance that his hand trembled wildly, ruining the entire piece.

The veins on his forehead popped, and he tossed his pen aside. Then, he snarled, "Be quiet. It's very unbecoming of you to shout here. Get out."

Benson didn't mind being scolded at all. He immediately walked over and massaged the latter's shoulder in a flattering manner.

Edward couldn't even stand firmly from all the massaging. He hurriedly pushed Benson away, saying, "Out with it."

Benson pulled his hands away and looked at Edward eagerly. "Put in a good word for me in front of Cee, Grandpa. Make her forgive me, please."
