Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Liberty's eyes lit up with excitement. "Are you planning to marry Mr. Fraser sooner than expected? Don't you want to date first, fall in love, and then get married?"

Kathryn had always said she wanted to date Pedro first, experience love, and enjoy its sweetness before tying the knot. No mirobas matter how strong a marriage is, it never quite carries the same thrill as the early days of romance. So many couples deeply love each other before marriage, only to find their feelings worn down by the weight of everyday life, responsibilities, and routine.

Kathryn replied, "Pedro and I have been together for a long time. Our feelings run deep. Love and romance don't have to end with marriage-we can still nurture them afterward. Just look at your sister, Serenity. She and Zachary married first and fell in love later. Who would dare say she isn't happy now?"

She continued confidently, "Pedro and I already share a bond. This isn't a rushed decision. I believe we'll be happy, and our love won't fade because of life's challenges." Marriage, after all, is an art-one that requires effort to maintain.

Liberty speared another piece of fruit with her fork and said, "It's your decision. No matter when you get married, I wish you the best. Oh, I haven't even prepared a wedding gift yet! If you're getting your marriage certificate so soon, I'll have to be a little predictable and gift you a couple of jewelry sets. When the wedding happens, I'll give a cash gift too."

Kathryn smiled warmly. "Your blessing is enough for me. A simple gift will do-it doesn't have to be extravagant. What truly matters is the thought behind it. As for the wedding, I think we should strike while the iron's hot and pick a date within the next couple of months." Now that they had their marriage certificate, there was no reason to delay the wedding.
