Chapter 403: Is it Really a Joke?
It wasn’t so bad when Baron Stuart didn’t mention it, but once he brought up the word “marriage,” she suddenly had some inexplicable expectations.
Upon Baron Stuart’s return to the bedroom, he saw her tossing and turning in bed and couldn’t help but frown. He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Emily was still completely lost in her thoughts, and his sudden voice startled her. She immediately sat up on the bed, kneeling in the center, “Nothing.”
She looked dumbfounded, and Baron Stuart narrowed his eyes, then hooked up a corner of his mouth. He then pounced on her, pressing her underneath him, “Can’t sleep?”
She stared blankly and nodded, “Yeah.”
She couldn’t sleep indeed because of the two words he suddenly mentioned.
However, Baron Stuart completely misunderstood it as something else.
Having been separated for so long, did she need him to do something before she could sleep?
Baron Stuart gently hooked up the corner of his mouth. The next second, his sexy thin lips kissed her…
The next day
In the morning, Emily freshened up and went downstairs, unexpectedly seeing the man sitting in the living room sofa.
Usually, before she woke up, he would not be at home, but would have gone to the company early. Today, he was still here, which made her feel quite surprised.
“Don’t you need to go to the company today?” Emily walked down the staircase and asked him.
Baron Stuart put down the English newspaper in his hand and pulled her to sit on his lap, holding her in his embrace. His tone was deep and gentle, “No, I have something to do today.”
“What is it?” Emily raised her head, looking at him somewhat blankly.
Shouldn’t he have left the house by now? Why is he still at home?
“Let’s eat first.” Baron Stuart picked her up by her waist and walked directly to the dining table.
After breakfast, Baron Stuart took her out of the villa.
In the car, Emily looked puzzled. Why did he bring her along when he is out for work? Was it to attend a banquet?
But her attire wasn’t suitable for attending any banquet.
Emily lowered her head, looking at her increasingly noticeable belly. With her figure, if she wore an evening dress, wouldn’t she become the ‘focus’ of the whole event?
Hehe …
Thinking about this, Emily’s lips twitched.
She turned her head and looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside the car window, feeling a little baffled.
“Where are we going, really?” She turned her head and looked at the man in the driver’s seat.
Baron Stuart was concentrating on driving the white Ferrari, looking quite bland.
“Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Emily was stunned. Civil Affairs Bureau? What are they doing at the Civil Affairs Bureau?
In Emily’s consciousness, the Civil Affairs Bureau is for registering marriages and divorces. They are here for…
Wait, marriage?
The two words he mentioned last night flashed through her mind, and Emily turned her head, looking at the man in the driver’s seat in shock.
By now, the car had already reached the front door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Just like that, Emily was pulled into the Civil Affairs Bureau by him. Unknowingly, her name, Emily Walker, was registered on the red booklet!
When they came out, half an hour had passed. Emily blankly stared at the red booklet in her hand, still a little dazed.
Did she… get married?
With Baron Stuart?
She flipped open the red booklet, on which her and Baron Stuart’s names were clearly written, along with a … not so blissful-looking group photograph.
