Everett froze for a moment before looking back at Dorothy with eyes brimming with tenderness.
"I'm honored, truly, to have battled through thick and thin to finally claim the title of your husband."
Dorothy laughed.
"Truth be told, this position... was always meant for you."
She never considered anyone else but him.
The staff was efficient, and in no time, they had their marriage license in hand.
Such a small document, with not too many words printed on it.
Yet, Everett looked it over and over again!
Finally, he carefully slid it into his suit pocket.
"Relax, no one's going to try and steal your marriage license!"
He looked like he was about to lock it away in a safe!
"Having finally got what I've longed for, of course, I have to treasure it." Everett quirked a smile, "From today onward, I'm officially your partner, protected by law."
He felt his statement wasn't sufficient.
So, he took out the marriage license, posed in front of the city hall, and snapped a photo to post directly on Twitter!
Everett's WhatsApp was filled with contacts from the business elite, both wealthy and noble.
Dorothy had never expected him to do something like this.
"You..."
"I've decided, from now on, the Lopez Corporation will observe today, and August 25th as paid holidays."
Everett felt his joy wasn't complete without sharing it with more people.
"Why set this up all of a sudden?" Dorothy was a bit puzzled.
"This way, every year on this date, people will thank their boss’s wife, thankful for our union."
Just then, Jeffrey and Karen had seen everything, even Everett taking a photo with the marriage license!
"How did you guys get here?"
"To be your witnesses, of course!" Karen winked at Dorothy, "You messaged me just now, saying you were pregnant and registering at the city hall, so I dragged Jeffrey here immediately! How could I miss out on such great news?"
Dorothy absolutely loved moments like these.
Everyone's faces were filled with genuine smiles, not a trace of insincerity.
"Everett, you've truly got your wish now, huh?" Jeffrey put his arm around Everett's shoulder, "You two, it hasn't been easy! To finally make it official, I might just cry!"
Everett pushed his arm away and brushed off his suit, "Well, go ahead, let's see you cry."
"..."
Seeing this, Karen burst into laughter, pointing at Jeffrey, "Just as I thought, the only person who can handle you is Everett!"
Jeffrey grimaced, "Don't mind Everett acting all disgusted now, he’s still got a soft spot for me in his heart!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
