Chapter 405 Let's Get The Marriage Certificates
Carla was more than sure that there would not be any problem with Terence's grandfather.
Thus, choosing between his father and grandfather, she assumed that it would be his father.
Since she had already met Edmund for a few times, she had already gotten familiar with him and
wasn't feeling the pressure as much as she did before.
"Carla, I want to marry you because I want you to be happy. We will have plenty of time to do the things
we want. I want you to look forward to our married life instead of fearing the worst. Do you agree with
me?"
Terence asked while looking at her dotingly.
Agreeing, Carla nodded her head and stopped obsessing about the issue.
"I know. Do what you have to do and I will follow your lead," she replied.
A relieved smile spread over Terence's face upon hearing Carla. If only this woman knew how other
girls were dying to be his wife. Sometimes, he couldn't even believe all these troubles he had to go
through to convince her.
However, he only had himself to blame since he was the one who fell in love with Carla.
He couldn't care less if he had to deceive her or chain her around his waist. He would definitely do
everything in this world to make her his wife!
There was no chance for her to escape. Sorry, but he just loved her so much.
With those thoughts, Terence embraced her and pulled her to him a bit more. They fell asleep together.
He had consulted her doctor a few days ago and was informed that he shouldn't touch her for the next
seven weeks.
Thus, he was left with no choice but to just sleep.
The next morning.
Terence and Carla flew back to JA City after bidding goodbye to Andrea.
It was already about ten in the morning when the plane landed.
The very first thing that Terence did was to take Carla to the Civil Affairs Bureau as he badly wanted to
get the marriage certificate with her.
"What's the rush?
We just landed and haven't even gotten home yet. Why are we here?" asked Carla while signing the
agreement. She then handed it to one of the clerks.
"We cannot make the same mistake three times. We already failed to get our marriage certificates
twice. I can't bear a third. I won't be able to sleep tonight if we can't get this done today,"
Terence explained as he printed his name at the bottom of the paper he was holding. He then also
handed it to the clerk.
Carla pouted her lips upon hearing him. She wondered if he was still angry with her because of how
she secretly ran away from the hospital.
It was just that she didn't have any option at that time.
How on earth could she pretend that everything was okay after reading the doctor's record and finding
out that there was a probability of her being infertile.
After stamping the two copies of marriage certificates, the clerk handed the papers back to Carla and
Terence.
Carla looked at their pictures on their marriage certificates. Her eyes widened as she abruptly turned to
the man next to her. On the other hand, Terence was grinning widely at her. Oh, Lord! She couldn't
believe that they were now married!
That was both so fast and so hard at the same time!
"You're officially my woman, Carla." Terence couldn't stop smiling. He tilted her chin and landed a kiss
on her lips. She was still stunned while looking at their marriage certificates. "No one can steal you
from me from now on. You should be beside me every day," he said.
"What are you looking so smug about? You are my man from now on too. And you should also be by
my side so that I can bully you!" Carla retorted with a sarcastic smile. She quickly put the marriage
certificate inside her bag.
"Of course," he agreed with a wide grin. "I will let you bully me for the rest of my life. You can even ride
on my head if you want to. I'm just here for you." A cheeky grin cracked Terence lips as he spoke.
Smiling sweetly, Carla gently pushed his handsome face away and leaned on his shoulder.
Their hands were clasped together tightly.
Terence took her home after the small ceremony. He changed his clothes and freshened himself up. He
didn't even take a rest and just immediately went to the An's Manor with her.
He wanted everything to be done as soon as possible since he only had a month to prepare for the
wedding.
In the East Yard of the An's Manor.
Carla sat on the sofa with her legs closed, looking self-conscious. Terence who was sitting beside her
tightly held her hand while Edmund was sitting opposite them.
The two copies of marriage certificates were placed on the table.
"Since you already have the marriage certificate, what did you come here for?" asked Edmund.
His thoughts were all messed up when he laid his eyes on Carla's tummy.
Terence had lied to him before, saying that she had conceived his baby.
The second time was when she was actually pregnant and got the test results.
Unfortunately, he had come to him a few days after that and said that the baby was gone.
He wasn't even given a chance to be happy about his grandchild.
He had already suffered a lot of mood swings since the two had been fooling him.
"Dad, you've been wanting me to get married for so long, haven't you? I think this is the perfect time for
it. We have decided to get married in a month and I already talked with my mother-in-law about it. You
can set a date for the wedding,"
Terence said with a faint smile on his face. He was clasping Carla's hand tightly.
Letting out a huge sigh, Edmund replied, "Alright then. I will ask someone to fix the date for your
wedding."
This was the only option open to him.
He knew about the merger case between the Hua Group and L Company.
He knew that Terence won the merger case and gave the L Company to the Hua family as a betrothal
present. That asset was worth three billion dollars. His son was indeed generous to his wife.
Speaking of which, it surprised him to know that Carla was the biological daughter of the Hua family
and Bonnie was the adopted daughter.
It seemed that his son and Carla were destined to be with each other after all.
Thus, after everything was sorted out, he realized that Carla's status could almost match his son's.
"Dad, would you like some tea?" Carla asked. When she noticed that Terence winked at her, she
immediately stood up from the sofa and poured a cup of tea and served it to Edmund.
It was her way of showing him respect since she was about to marry Terence in a month.
However, Edmund didn't move a muscle and coughed instead. Clearing his throat, he said, "There
would be few things you need to keep in mind, Carla, once you become my daughter-in-law. Although
Terence favors you, you should try your best to become a good wife and let him fully focus on his work.
I don't think you mind me saying these things to you since you two already have marriage certificates,
right? I'm now legally your father-in-law."
He paused for a few seconds and continued, "And the most important thing for you two right now is to
have a baby.
Not having a baby as soon as possible would mean that you two are neglecting your filial duties. You
two shouldn't be wasting any time after the marriage. I will be happy regardless if it is a boy or a girl. I'm
getting older and I can't wait to see my grandchild. Although your grandfather's operation was
successful, there still isn't much time left for him. That's the most important thing I want you two to do!"
Carla's hands were aching with how hard she was holding that cup of tea.
Taking a discreet breath, she nodded her head. "Yes, dad. What you said is completely right. I will keep
your words in mind and try my best to become a good wife!"
She lowered her head after that.
Terence cast a glance at Carla and then said, "Rest assured, Dad. Carla may not have fully recovered Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
from the operation yet but we will definitely try to have another baby as soon as possible."
Edmund took that cup of tea from Carla, nodding. He then said, "All right. Since you are now my
daughter-in-law, Carla, we should leave all the miserable things that happened behind us and move on.
I will ask someone to discuss the details of the wedding with your mother. Don't hesitate to approach
me if you have any questions."
Edmund would make sure that Carla was well treated in all aspects since she was now his daughter-in-
law.
"Thanks, Dad. I will," replied Carla with a smile. She withdrew her hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking out of the East Yard, Terence took Carla to the North Yard.
Terence's grandfather had been staying in the North Yard since he was discharged from the hospital.
His grandfather still had a private doctor keeping him company to take care of his health.
Nicholas was in cloud nine after hearing that they would be getting married. He immediately gave a big
emerald stone to Carla as a present.
Carla had seen the emerald stone before and Nicholas said that it should belong to her.
When they got home, Carla went straight upstairs. She was worn out after rushing around the city
today.
They got on the plane early this morning. As soon as the plane landed, they immediately went to the
Civil Affairs Bureau. After they got the marriage certificates, they rushed to the An's Manor. Everything
happened so fast and she didn't even have a chance to rest.
There was an urgency in how Terence was doing things.
It seemed like Terence couldn't even wait for the wedding ceremony anymore!
Carla was already lying on the bed and taking a rest when someone knocked on the door.
She languidly turned around and saw Terence walking towards her.
She noticed that there was a pile of things in his hand.
