Chapter 1708
“I’m taking you to get a marriage certificate,” Zayn said.
Tessa looked at Zayn in shock. “Za-Zayn, are you... being serious?”
“I have not joked with others for a very long time,” said Zayn.
Tessa’s tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. “Zayn, I’m...sorry. I have misjudged you this morning. However, why would you be in touch with that woman? That woman...”
Seeing that Zayn has a stern expression, Tessa did not continue, she bit her lips. “Have you thought it through about taking me to get a marriage certificate?”
Zayn smiled lightly, “of course, I have thought it through.”
Prior to that day, Zayn had never thought about getting married so soon. After all, marriage was a matter that would last a lifetime. He did not wish to get married a second time in his life. He originally wanted to know more about Tessa and see how compatible they are with each other. However, after what Hana said that morning, Zayn had made the decision to marry Tessa. A voice from the bottom of his heart was telling him that he had to marry Tessa, only then could he pay back the favor to Hana for saving his life. In any case, other than having a conflict with her mother, Tessa was an excellent girl. He would not suffer any losses for marrying a girl who was ten years younger than him.
After he had thought it through, he said firmly again. “Let’s go, I will take you to get our marriage certificate now!”
Tessa stopped crying and laughed instead, “oh, Zayn, you truly are an inexperienced manly man.”
Zayn was speechless.
“There are a lot of documents needed to apply for a marriage certificate. All my documents are at home with my dad, so I have to first go home and get them.”
There was a pause before she raised her head to look at the time. “It’s already eleven in the morning. It would take more than an hour to make a trip back home. We would only arrive at the city hall in the afternoon after I came back from my house. It’s not good to get the marriage certificate in the afternoon. Besides, I have to tell my dad properly. Also, there should still be some ceremony before getting the marriage certificate. At the very least, you have to prepare a generous gift for my father, who is your father-in-law.”
Zayn was speechless. He had never gotten a marriage license in his life before, so he truly did not know that there was such a process. Besides, it seemed that it was very quick when Sabrina and Sebastian got their marriage certificate. They got it within an hour after they arrived at city hall. However, come to think of it, that was Sebastian Ford. How many people are like Sebastian in the entire South City?
When he thought about that, Zayn then said, “ Alright! Then I will drive to your house and pick you up from there tomorrow, then we will go to get our marriage certificate together. I will also prepare a generous gift for your father then.”
“Mm-hmm, alright, Zayn.”
At that moment, Tessa no longer looked as sad as before, she became happy instead. “Zayn, don’t disturb me today anymore, alright? I have to finish up the work for today and tomorrow, then we can go get our marriage certificate and celebrate tomorrow.
“Alright!”
