Chapter 1979 Ian In Trouble
Still stumped, Susan raised her gaze and looked at Ian in confusion. âIf I donât call you by your name,
h-how should I address you, then?â
âYouâll address me as âHubby,â of course!â Ian couldnât help but instruct blatantly. Susan was stunned,
and her face flushed crimson immediately. âBut we havenât gotten our marriage certificate yet. If I
address you so, Iââ
âMarriage certificate?â Ian seemed like he had just realized something. With a slight cock of his brow,
he suddenly let go of her and said, âWait here.â Susan was startled. âWhat are you doing?â âI need to
make a call.â âWhat for?â
âIâm going to get my parents to collect our marriage certificate for us.â With that, Ian ran up the stairs.
He was really going to call home and get his parents to collect their marriage certificate.
Is he kidding? How could he get his parents to collect our marriage certificate? Susan was amused.
She then quickly followed him upstairs and rushed into the bedroom to stop him.
However, when she got there, she saw that he had already switched on the television and contacted
Oceanic Estate through video call.
âOh? Ian, Susan! Youâve finally called, huh? What a pleasant surprise! What have you guys been up
to?â Sasha was tutoring Natalie when Ian called. She was over the moon to receive the call from them.
Seeing that, Susan had no choice but to steel herself and greet her future mother-in-law. âHi, Mrs.
Hayes. We⦠Weâve been busy getting our new house ready.â
âIs that so? Are you guys done with it, then? Are you guys doing it yourselves? If itâs too taxing, I can
send some people over to help you guys,â Sasha uttered.
âItâs all right. That wonât beââ
Right then, Ian interrupted and said, âMommy, you donât have to trouble yourself with that. I need you to
help Susan and me to collect our marriage certificate tomorrow.â
What the hell? I canât believe he just drop such a shocking piece of news out of nowhere! Canât he see
that Mrs. Hayes and I were in the middle of a conversation? Susan was stumped. Sasha, too, was
startled.
Regardless, she was still incredibly happy with Ianâs decision. âYouâre asking me to collect your
marriage certificate? Have you guys decided on that? However, I canât help you guys to collect the
marriage certificate. Both of you will have to go to the civil affairs office and do it yourselves.â
Sasha couldnât help chuckling at how clueless her son was. Heâs already twenty-three. How could he
not know something as basic as this? I wonder how Susan has been spending her life with him for the
past three years. Could it be that she had been the one doing all the worrying for him?
As soon as those words fell, Susan felt awkward right away. Ian, on the other hand, looked utterly
confused.
âWhen you got married to Daddy back then, didnât Grandpa do everything for you guys? Daddy wasnât
even around to do it,â Ian uttered.
Suddenly, a familiar tall figure appeared on the screen of the video call and fumed, âYou brat! Are you
done? How could you get someone else to do such an important thing for you? Do you even want to
get married in the first place? Whereâs your sincerity, huh?â
After he scolded Susan and Ian with a grim expression, he ended the call right away.
Both Ian and Susan fell silent.
After a while, Susan noticed how sullen Ian looked. She tried her best to compose herself, and she
tugged on his sleeves. âDonât be upset, okay? I-Iâll do as you say⦠Hubbyâ¦â
Her cheeks were as red as the glow of dusk. While overwhelmed with embarrassment and
awkwardness, she finally addressed him as he wanted.
Upon hearing that, Ian turned and glanced at her.
Meanwhile, in Oceanic Estate, Sasha was infuriated after Sebastian ended the call abruptly.
âSebastian, what did you do that for? Ian is right, isnât he? Itâs a fact that you didnât collect our marriage
certificate with me. So why are you throwing a tantrum now?â She glared at him angrily to show how
dissatisfied she was with what he did back then.
D*mn that bratty son of mine! Sebastian froze momentarily.
âDarling, I was wrong, okay? Why donât we register for our marriage again?â he asked.
âHuh?â Sasha was pissed off. âWhat do you mean by that? Youâd better say it to me clearly, Sebastian.â
âWell⦠I mean, I owed you a lot, Darling. I didnât collect our marriage certificate with you, and I didnât
give you a grand wedding ceremony. Iâve promised you a lot in the past, but I couldnât make good on
my promises because of all the things that had happened.â
âSo?â Suddenly, Sasha had a bad feeling about it. Why is he admitting his faults all of a sudden?
Knowing how sly and cunning he is, he must be up to something!
