Chapter 871: Marriage Certificate

Ayan's expression turned extremely sour, and his eyes squinted into a

tight knot. He spoke heavily, "Do you even know what you're saying?"

"Of course. If you can't even remember what I said, how can you

remember anything else?" Camille chuckled lightly, her face icy and

expressionless. A faint trace of coldness appeared at the corner of her

lips, making her demeanor even more aloof. She continued, "If you

don't want to remarry, you could have just told me. I don't have to keep

pestering you."

Ayan's behavior was puzzling to her, and it only made her emotions

more chaotic. At times, she even felt like this was all a dream, and

everything would return to normal once the dream was over.

Yes, she used the word "normal" to describe their current situation.

She didn't like this state, but her heart couldn't bear any distance

between them. She preferred to resolve all matters cleanly.

However, after speaking those words, she gradually realized that they

might have been too harsh, especially the part about not pestering him.

These words instantly darkened Ayan's expression, making his face

even more unsightly. He furrowed his brows tightly and spoke in a low,

hoarse voice, "You think I don't want to remarry? Then what were all

the efforts I made for? Camille, your words are hurtful.”

Camille's gaze turned vacant, and she stood there motionless, not

knowing what to say.

The atmosphere grew even more tense. Camille felt like something was

blocking her heart, making it hard for her to speak. She remained silent

for a long time without any response.

Once again, both of them fell silent.

At that moment, Ayan's phone rang, breaking the brief silence.

He walked to the balcony to answer the call, and Camille went back to

the bedroom to blow-dry her hair.

It was Rex calling.

Rex said, "I'll be back in Hance City in a couple of days, and Mario will

probably make a move soon too. Keep an eye on him for me."

Ayan asked indifferently, "Are you starting to boss me around now?"

There was no hint of displeasure in his tone; it was just a typical banter

between friends.

Rex chuckled and said, "Oh, I just want to bask in Mr. Simpson's glory.

After all, Mr. Simpson is thriving in both love and career. I need to learn

from him, right?"

Ayan snorted lightly and replied, "Stop teasing me."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not teasing you. I'm being sincere. So, could

you please keep an eye on Mario for me? He was discharged from the

hospital today and probably knows that I'm in Flento. I guess he'll be

watching Sienna's every move closely. If he finds out that we're

heading back to Hance, he'll definitely take action."

Rex wasn't afraid of Mario, but he was worried that Mario's actions

might trouble Sienna. He didn't want anyone to make her unhappy.

Rex also mentioned to Ayan about Sienna totally cutting ties with the

King family. He asked, "Can you handle transferring Sienna's

registration to Hance today? Just to avoid any unnecessary trouble.”

Ayan remained calm, his brows slightly furrowed. After a moment, he

calmly said, “Do you think Mario cares about it?"

To Ayan, it wasn't a real issue. Even if Sienna'’s registration was in

Hance, so what?

Rex realized from Ayan's words that the idea was not that useful. His

voice became slightly hoarse as he asked, "Ayan, what should I do

then, if I want to guard against Mario?"

As someone directly involved, Rex didn't think as clearly as Ayan, the

bystander.

Ayan chuckled lightly, his voice calm as he said, "The best way is to

make her your woman legally."

Ayan's meaning was clear and straightforward, laying out all the issues

in front of them.

Rex was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood.

He smiled faintly, "Ayan, you're truly a married man. When I have my

wedding with Sienna, you'll be our officiant.”

He didn't believe that Mario could still have his way with Sienna, even if

there were a hundred ways to make her yield.

If Sienna’s identity changed, there would be nothing Mario could do,

right?

The next morning, Rex took Sienna to the civil affairs bureau in Flento.

They were in and out in less than an hour, holding some documents in

their hands.

Sienna was still in a daze; she went in as a single woman and came

out as a wife.

It wasn't until they got into the car that Rex reached out to take the

marriage certificate from her hand, and she finally came back to her

senses. Rex said, "I'll keep the marriage certificate for now. After we

return to Hance, I'll get a customized frame for it and hang it in the most

prominent place at home."

Sienna frowned slightly, looking incredulous. "Mr. Ward, this is a

marriage certificate, not a trophy to be displayed.”

"This is worth much more than a trophy." Rex chuckled lightly,

extremely satisfied with the marriage certificate in his hand. Although

the photo on the certificate was taken hastily, Sienna looked beautiful,

and he looked handsome. They looked perfect together in the picture.

He couldn't wait and immediately took out his phone, snapped a photo,

and promptly posted it in a few friends’ group chats without saying

anything. After securing the marriage certificate, he hopped into the car

with Sienna and drove off.

He asked, "Shall we celebrate tonight?"

“I can't believe you got me without even a proper proposal. Shouldn't

you prepare a fancy dinner for me on my wedding day?" Sienna

grumbled, feeling a bit regretful for agreeing to his request so easily.

After all, there wasn't even a proper proposal; he just casually said,

"Let's get married,” and she simply nodded after a brief moment of

silence.

At first, Sienna thought he was just joking, but when he changed into a

white shirt and asked her to wear something in the same color, she

realized he wasn't kidding.

From the moment he said, “Let's get married,” to when he drove her to

the Civil Affairs Bureau, it had only been forty minutes. Then, they went

in and came out, and their identities had undergone a complete

transformation.

Looking back now, it was truly impulsive!

Rex seemed to read her mind, but he didn't get angry; instead, he

smiled lightly, "It's too late to regret now. We're already on board, and I

won't give you a chance to regret. As for everything else, I'll slowly

provide for you; you won't be lacking anything others have."

Although Rex didn't overly insist or make grand promises to Sienna, his

response and attitude were much more reliable than those who only

made empty commitments.

Sienna couldn't help but think about Rex's sudden marriage proposal.

He had Ward Group and so many properties and funds under his

name. Was he really that sure?

Sienna couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Baxter, aren't you afraid I'll covet

Ward Group and everything under your name?"

Rex was completely indifferent and just smiled lightly, saying, "Will

you?"

“It's not certain." Sienna raised an eyebrow.

Rex responded, "Do you want Ward Group and everything under my

name? Although it might seem considerable at the moment, you should

broaden your horizons and not be tempted by these petty gains. If you

want everything I own to bear your name, the best way is to give birth

to my child and let our child take over everything. Isn't that better?"

He referred to what he owned as petty gains, making Sienna roll her

eyes unconsciously.

Was he bragging about his wealth?

Sienna hummed lightly without saying anything else.

Back at the apartment, Sienna took a photo of the marriage certificate

and posted it on her Facebook.
