âWhy are you in a daze?â Hadwin Stephenson asked as he approached Lina.
âI just think you⦠look like the male leads in idol dramas,â muttered Lina.
Hadwin Stephenson smiled and raised his hand to gently stroke her cheek. âIâm your own male lead. I only want you to concentrate on me.â
His gaze was like a dense web that she did not want to break free from.
Once they reached tMason Swansonvil Affairs Bureau, the two of them took their queue number and sat on chairs to wait. Lina took a photo of the interior hall of the marriage registry office and sent it to the chat group with Grace, Kyla, and herself.
Lina: [Iâm getting my marriage license today.]
Moments later, Grace replied in the WeChat group.
Grace: [??? Youâre registering with Hadwin Stephenson today?]
Lina: [Yeah, weâre waiting in line right now!]
Grace: [Thatâs a happy occasion. Letâs set a date to celebrate it!]
Kyla: [Lina, congratulations! I hope you and Hadwin Stephenson will grow old together!]
Lina: [Thank you. By the way, Kyla, is Nelsonâs hearing aid ready?]
Kyla: [The hospital informed us to collect it tomorrow.]
Grace: [Kyla, Iâll go with you tomorrow.]
Lina: [Iâm going too.]
Grace: Youâre pregnant, so you shouldnât be going to the hospital so much. Iâll accompany Kyla and Nelson tomorrow.]
Lina: [Then Iâll book a private room in a restaurant and we can have a meal together. Consider it a celebration of my marriage!]
Grace: [Sure. Kyla, are you okay with that?]
Kyla: [Yes, letâs celebrate Linaâs marriage tomorrow!]
After the chat ended, Kyla smiled. Lina had found happiness, and she was happy for her.
She used to think Lina was in the same situation as she was in the past. When Lina and Hadwin Stephenson broke up, she was heartbroken and sorry for Lina. It was great that it ended this way.
âWhatâs the matter? Did something good happen?â asked Mrs. Corbyn as she looked at her daughter.
Kyla smiled. âLina and Hadwin Stephenson went to register their marriage today.â
âLina is lucky to meet a man like Hadwin Stephenson,â said Mrs. Corbyn. She once heard Grace say Hadwin Stephenson only broke up with Lina to save her, not for power and wealth.
âYes, sheâs a lucky woman, and sheâll continue being lucky,â said Kyla.
Mrs. Corbyn hesitated and said, âThe matchmaker in the neighborhood asked me if I wanted to find you a boyfriend. again. She has some nice men sheâd like to introduce you to.â
âMom, didnât I say that I donât want to find a boyfriend? I want to stay with Nelson and raise him until heâs an adult,â said Kyla.
âBut youâre alone without a partner. Iâm worried,â said Mrs. Corbyn. She was getting older and had no idea how many years she had left to live. Nelson was young, and her daughter was only in her 30s but did not even have a boyfriend. How could she not worry?
