Chapter 701
Charmine followed behind Chris but did not notice where they were headed to.
Somehow, suddenly...
Chris tugged at Charmine's hand. "Oh, Mommy, look. What a coincidence! This must be a message from above! We somehow ended up here. Look!"
Charmine averted her gaze to where Chris pointed at, and the words, [High Commission] gleamed under the sunlight, the name hard to miss.
Her face straightened and her lips twitched.
They 'somehow' walked to the High Commission? Was that a coincidence?
Chris shook her hand. "Mommy, this must be a message from above. It's fate! Instead of picking a day, why don't you and Daddy get married today?”
w—What?!
Charmine suddenly understood why Chris insisted on having a stroll.
From the start, Chris convinced her to walk with him so he could pester them to get married!
She reached out and ruffled Chris' little head. "You little genius, you!
Getting married is a big deal, and it can't be simply done. Furthermore, we need to pick a date and make further arrangements.”
"Huh? Before I left today, I saw the horoscope calendar saying that today's a suitable date to get married. Look, so many people have come this early in the morning to queue to get married! As for the preparation, I got the account book and nine bucks, ninety cents. It's on me!" insisted Chris as he took out two account books and eleven coins.
Charmine was speechless.
It was apparent that Chris came prepared. In fact, the preparation was too considerate!
Furthermore, why was the Jordan family's book account with him?
What she did not know was that when Anthony could not find her, he went to visit the Jordans over the night...
Charmine was met with Chris' round, watery eyes. Unable to deny him, the helpless Charmine eyed Anthony.
However, Anthony merely stood quietly and elegantly. He looked at her silently, waiting.
His posture was as if he was waiting for her to make the decision.
Wait a minute...
Charmine only realized that Anthony dressed slightly differently than he usually would.
Although he was still in a suit, his suit was somewhat more formal than usual.
He seemed to have shaved in the car, his face clean and neat.
Charmine felt the weight of it all... Somehow...she felt trapped...by Anthony and Chris's... 1
Seeing that she did not move, Chris suddenly pulled her hand and shook her pitiably.
"Mommy, are you unwilling to marry Daddy? Do you not like Daddy? Don't you want Daddy and Momo?"
He paused there as if understanding something, and he then nodded in pain. "Right, that must be it. This must be it. Mommy wanted to leave Daddy last night, and that's why you rejected my calls. Mommy doesn't want Momo anymore...! Waa...! Mommy doesn't want Momo! Mommy doesn't want Daddy! Waa...!” 2
His wails grew louder as he spoke, his tiny shoulders shaking as if he would have a seizure any time.
Chris' face somehow grew pale as if he was a terminal illness patient losing blood by the second.
Charmine's heart tightened as she recalled the image of Chris lying on the sickbed.
Uncle Weir and Nial also said that they had to keep Chris happy, that he should not be too stimulated.
Charmine instantly grew frantic inwardly, worried that Chris might faint or have a seizure. She had to kneel and hug Chris. "Momo, be good, don’t cry. Mommy and Daddy will get married today. We promise you, okay?
However, as you can see, the Uncles and Aunties haven't started working, and the door of the High Commission isn’t even opened. We’ll send you to school first, and Daddy and I will come back to get married.”
"Oh... Mommy, look! They opened the door! They started working!” Chris suddenly pointed at the High Commission's building door. 1
Charmine looked over...and the door actually opened!
It was only a few minutes past seven, yet they started working already?
Oh... Oh, dear...
Charmine's lips twitched; she had to find a new excuse. She looked at the people queuing and said...
