Riverton.

The scorching sun of summer feels like it could roast a person to a crisp.

Cornelia Stewart took half a day off from her boss, left the office, and went straight to the city hall in Waterside District to get her marriage certificate.

She knew that her grandma was still upset about what had happened three years ago, thinking she didn’t protect Cornelia well, which led to her bad reputation and inability to go home.

With Granny Rebecca getting older, Rebecca worried about not being able to take care of Cornelia anymore. So, she found Granny Luisa from Riverton, hoping she could introduce a suitable man to Cornelia. As it happened, Granny Luisa’s grandson was an eligible bachelor.

The older generation always felt that a girl’s ultimate goal should be to get married, no matter who the husband was, as long as she got married, it was like completing her mission.

Having experienced what happened three years ago and witnessing so many broken marriages around her, Cornelia didn’t have high hopes for marriage.

She believed that if she met the right person, she could get married, but if not, being single for the rest of her life wasn’t bad either.

But to put her grandma at ease, Cornelia agreed to marry Granny Luisa’s grandson.

She quickly arrived at her destination and, as she got out of the car, she saw a tall man standing at the entrance of the city hall.

He wore a plain white shirt and black slacks, but his appearance was striking, and women couldn’t help but stare at him.

He was on the phone, not looking sideways.

Cornelia checked her phone and found the photo her grandma sent her. The man was the one in the photo, but he was even more handsome in person.

She approached him, and when she was close, he hung up the phone and asked, “Cornelia?”

Not only was he good–looking, but he also had a deep and sexy voice.

She nodded, “Are you Jeremy Artis?
