When they arrived at the civil registry office, they were the earliest.
Adrian Walyon was obviously well-prepared for today, even bringing Summer Sutton’s household registration book with him.
After Father Sutton and Grandpa Sutton passed away, Summer Sutton’s name was the only one left in her household registration book.
Adrian Walyon flipped through it, thinking she seemed rather pitiful.
Even the name on her registration book seemed so lonely...
With a sigh, he took their documents for photocopying and then for photos.
This was Emilia Sutton and Adrian Walyon’s first photo together, the only one since they met four months ago.
When Emilia Sutton sat down, her body felt stiff, unsure of what expression she should wear.
Adrian Walyon furrowed his dark brows with a hint of dissatisfaction. Follow current novᴇls on N0velFire.ɴet
"Smile." He leaned towards her and whispered, "Don’t look like you’re attending a funeral."
He was forcefully demanding it, his low voice carrying a hint of dominance.
Summer Sutton glared at him.
He knew under what circumstances they had come here, and yet he wanted her to act jubilantly?
Adrian Walyon didn’t care about any of that; a wedding certificate is something that would accompany them forever, and Summer Sutton’s current expression would affect his mood every time he saw it for decades to come.
He wrapped his long arm around her shoulder, pressing her head into his shoulder nook, ordering again, "Smile!"
Summer Sutton wanted to hit him, but when she turned her head and met Adrian Walyon’s cold gaze, she suppressed the impulse.
Adrian Walyon was warning her.
Not cooperating with him here meant having no recourse once they were outside.
Already having registered, Summer Sutton decided not to oppose him for the sake of getting along better in the future.
Facing the camera, Summer Sutton lightly tugged at her lips.
Their wedding certificate photo was settled.
Next was filling out the application form and waiting to receive the certificate.
They walked out of the civil registry office at nine-thirty.
The entire process took them less than half an hour.
Adrian Walyon picked up the two freshly issued red booklets, looking rather satisfied.
He stuffed one into Summer Sutton’s hand, reminding her, "Keep it safe! If you lose or damage it, the consequences are on you."
After a brief reminder, he got in the car first.
Before getting into the car herself, Summer Sutton opened her red booklet to take a look.
In the photo, she and Adrian Walyon were very close, their faces nearly touching. With their subtle smiles, did they not look like a truly happy couple?
This photo should be acceptable to the Walyons.
On the way back, Summer Sutton was lost in thought.
Today was her twentieth birthday, on such a day, she and Adrian Walyon registered their marriage.
From now on, every anniversary would coincide with her birthday.
Such a special day, she couldn’t forget it even if she wanted to...
Summer Sutton decided to marry Adrian Walyon suddenly, proposing marriage one day and being brought by Adrian to register the next, without preparing anything.
On the way back, seeing Summer Sutton still wearing the engagement ring, Adrian Walyon took her to a jewelry store, picking out a pair of rings as their wedding bands.
The style he chose was quite simple, diamonds embedded in the rings, small yet of high quality; simple but the priciest in the store.
Adrian Walyon actually had his own thoughts, simple rings are good, convenient for daily wear without needing to be frequently removed.
Worn daily, seen daily, only then can they be remembered...
