He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 906

"Look at them. My mom and your mom are more excited than we are. You'd think they were the ones getting married today," Scarlett murmured with a soft laugh.

Julian immediately corrected her, his tone warm but firm.

"Not 'my mom' and 'your mom.' *Our* mothers."

"From now on, I don't want to hear you separating us like that. Because if you do..."

Scarlett tilted her head, a teasing gleam in her eye. "If I do, then what?"

Julian took a step forward, scooped her effortlessly out of bed, and held her securely against his chest. His eyes were swimming with adoration.

"Then I'll just have to kiss you until you beg for mercy."

Scarlett gasped, playfully covering her mouth. "No way! I haven't even brushed my teeth!"

Seeing her act as if she were facing a dire threat, Julian's heart melted completely.

"Fine. We'll kiss after you brush."

"I'll carry you to the bathroom and squeeze the toothpaste for you."

True to his word, he carried her into the en-suite. He set her down gently, perfectly positioned her slippers, ran the warm water, and prepped her toothbrush.

His movements were so natural and attentive, they felt like a couple who had been married for decades, operating on pure instinct and perfect harmony.

Smiling, Scarlett took the toothbrush and unhurriedly went through her morning routine.

By the time they finished washing up and stepped back into the bedroom, the bed had already been made. Laid out immaculately across the mattress was a stunningly elegant white dress, a minimalist veil, and a sharp, tailored men's suit.

Their mothers had truly pulled out all the stops for this day.

These tiny, beautiful touches of ceremony were things the couple hadn't even thought to arrange, but their elders had quietly handled every meticulous detail behind the scenes.

"Yes!"

Thinking they were being addressed individually, both mothers answered simultaneously at maximum volume.

The sheer absurdity and sweetness of the moment was too much. Scarlett and Julian caught each other's eyes and broke into a fit of laughter.

After finishing their quick breakfast, the couple got into the car to head to City Hall.

Jacqueline and Elara had desperately wanted to tag along, but the couple politely vetoed the idea. They were genuinely worried that their overly enthusiastic mothers would cause a joyous scene at the clerk's office and embarrass them.

Not long after they hit the road, Julian's phone buzzed with an incoming call.

A clear male voice spoke on the other end. "Mr. Croft, you're heading to City Hall to get your marriage license today, right?"

Julian paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. "Moe, how did you know?"
