Falling For The Man I Married

Chapter 75: Still connected

"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?" 

Martin asked me for the third time since this morning about my appointment at the Chicago city hall. We flew together yesterday because I need to sign some important documents that were needed to renew the business permit and operating agreement of my restaurant. He insisted on coming with me to meet my friends and to finally see my outlets. And I also have to file the documents myself because Noelle has an important schedule for today.

"Yup, don't worry. I'm used to this." I answered, taking my bag and my phone from the couch.

"Okay. Take care of yourself, babe. Just call me if you need some support or if your ex-husband surprised you again." 

I chuckled when he flexed his two biceps in front of me.

"I'm serious! I can kick him in his balls!"

I end up coughing after laughing so hard at his one-of-a-kind jokes.

"Okay, fine. But do the first thing you really wanted to do or go to the place and person you wanted to visit." I teased him with a raised eyebrow and smirk on my lips.

"Huh! What are you talking about?" he said pretending to be surprised turned his back on me.

I shook my head with a smile and followed him into the kitchen.

"Ohh... Martin-babe, do you really think I didn't know the real reason you came back to Chicago with me? Come on, Martin!"

"Fine! But I'm serious, Madi, f you need help, don't hesitate to call me or send me a message, okay?"

"Okay, thanks, babe." I winked at him. 

He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "Take care."

"Yup... I will. Bye."

I can't help but take a deep breath the moment I got out of the cab and the Chicago city hall building came into my sight. It's been three years since the last time I entered that building, and that was when we registered our marriage in the civil registry.

After how many minutes I spent contemplating my thoughts, I decided to enter the building and headed to the department where I was going.

Thirty minutes later...

"Ma'am, I'm sorry but the name in your ID doesn't match with the name listed on our system."

I frowned as I looked directly at the lady inside the booth.

"I - I'm sorry? What do you mean my ID name doesn't match in your system?"

"Yes, Ma'am. Are you sure you're still with the name Davis?"

I was taken aback by her question.

"Y-Yes. I don't remember changing my name in the last three years."

That's true because even after we got married I didn't change my status nor did I change my last name into Wilsons, so that means I am still Davis in their system.

"Can you please check it again? I have other IDs here, you can check the details if you want." I said giving her my other IDs.
