Despite that, I still did as he said. Now that Michael had become much more daring after I got through the first three months of pregnancy safely, he would have his way with me once almost every night. At some point, I even started to suspect if his body was made out of steel.

It was truly unbelievable how he could still look so energetic in the morning after going at it until midnight every day. On the other hand, I looked wrecked and tired whenever I woke up.

After washing up, I headed to the living room. There, Michael had long waiting for me. My eyes flickered at the rare sight of him in a completely grey casual outfit. Instead of looking cold and collected like he always did in his usual black and white suit, he appeared gentler and more approachable that moment.

“So, what is it? Why are you so secretive?”

I came over to his side and looked at him in utter curiosity. Hmm, he looks exceptionally handsome today!

“It's a secret. You'll know when we get there.”

Michael just curved his lips and gave me a seductive smile. In the next second, he strode toward me, held my hand, and interlocked our fingers together, causing my heart to involuntarily skip a beat.

The car moved toward a destination I was clueless about at a steady but quick pace. Despite that, I remained silent the entire journey, as I knew he wouldn't tell me even if I asked him.

Approximately half an hour later, he finally stopped the car. As I took in our surroundings, I was even more confused upon realizing that we were on an unfamiliar street.

Out of curiosity, I swiveled my head around to look at him and asked, “Where are we? Why are we here?”

“Take a look at your left.”

Instead of revealing the answer directly, he raised his brows before smiling again.


Following his gaze, a building with two large words instantly came into my sight: City Hall. My heart started to pound wildly.

Could it be that...

“We're here to get our marriage certificate?”

I shifted my gaze back to Michael a moment later, looking a bit unsure as I wondered whether I had guessed it wrongly.

Even though we had a wedding ceremony, I didn't want to assume anything as he hadn't mentioned getting the marriage certificate at all. After all, it was a common practice among the wealthy to prevent their wife from sharing their family possessions after a divorce.

Previously, I would still feel bothered by that. However, the more I thought of it, the more I realized that I should be grateful for Michael's willingness to give me a wedding.

I had never hoped for him to agree to get a marriage certificate with me because I knew it was a wishful thought. Yet, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited when he suddenly brought me here.

“What else can we do in City Hall if it isn't to register our marriage?”

Upon taking in my shocked expression, a grin crawled onto his face, and adoration filled his dark eyes.

Once again, my heart trembled at his firm reply. As I gazed at his smiling face, I opened my mouth, trying to say something but found myself at a loss for words. In reality, I could barely conceal my excitement at that point.

It took me a while before I could finally compose myself and look into his eyes. In the next second, I threw myself into his embrace emotionally.

I was already touched by what he did for me before, yet it was at that very moment when he took me here that I truly felt his sincerity.

Soon after, Michael patted my shoulder and urged gently, “It's getting late. Let's go in.”

Only then did I snap out of my senses. By the time I wiggled out of Michael's arms, my eyes were already shining with unshed tears.

Women were always so emotional, so of course, I was no exception. I guessed all women would feel the same happiness when they could marry their beloved officially.

Just as I planned to open the door to get out of the car with Michael, I halted in my action when something suddenly came to my mind.

Seeing that, Michael sat back before giving me a curious look. “What's wrong?”

His voice was calm but gentle.

“I didn't bring my ID card and household registry, so we can't get the certificate today.”

With that said, I lowered my head in utter disappointment. How can I not bring those? He specifically brought me here today, yet how can I waste his effort? Who knows when he would recall this again if we missed the chance today?
