Chapter 454 Marriage Certificate 1
“Colton, I didn’t go near her on purpose. She—”
Queenie was not done speaking when she was cut off mercilessly.
“You just need to make sure the baby is well and healthy. Then, we’ll be registering our marriage next week.”
His words instantly shocked her. What did he say? Register our marriage?
Colton never brought this up back when she first got together with him. Even though people addressed her as Mrs. Gardner, nothing really happened between them.
Now, he had announced that they would get a marriage certificate. She could not believe it and her eyes widened while her lips trembled. “Colton, is what you said true?”
He replied, “All you need to do is take care of the baby. Then, I’ll register the marriage with you next week.”
Queenie felt this happiness was unreal. Before this, she had begged so much, but Colton never agreed. Now, he suddenly wanted to register the marriage because she was pregnant with his baby.
“Colton, you… Are you really willing to register this marriage?” She felt like she was dreaming and had to check with him again.
Colton glanced briefly at her and chuckled. “If you don’t want this, I won’t force you.”
Queenie quickly shook her head. “No, no. I do. I do want this. It’s unbelievable that I can be with you. It’s all I’ve ever dreamed of.”
She was so giddy with excitement that her heart was pounding.
“Okay,” he answered. Compared to her excitement, he was more distant. He swept a glance at her on the bed and continued, “Rest well now. Don’t bother with other things, and don’t mess with anyone else. Or else…”
Not waiting for him to finish his sentence, Queenie hastily assured, “I know. I will behave!”
At first, she wanted to gain his empathy. Still, things took an extraordinary turn, and now he wanted to register their marriage.
As long as she was married to Colton, she could get into the Gardner Family and gain all the glory and wealth one could possibly imagine. She would not need to worry for the rest of her life.
Colton did not say anything else and departed when he saw that she was being so obedient and agreeable.
After he left, Queenie immediately called Lydia. Her voice was filled with excitement as she babbled, “Mom, Colton said we’re going to get the marriage certification. He’s going to marry me!”
Lydia was not expecting this to happen so suddenly and squealed, “Queenie, what did you say?”
“Mom, Colton said we’re going to get the marriage certificate,” Queenie repeated patiently. She was willing to repeat this sentence no matter how many times it took.
Lydia soon regained her composure but couldn’t help but inquire excitedly with a slight squeal, “Our time is here, Queenie. Did Colton tell you when the registration will be? When will the wedding be held?”
She got shy at the mention of a wedding. So, she lowered her head as she mumbled, “Registration is next week. He didn’t say anything about the wedding, though. Mom, the wedding isn’t the priority now. I can do anything when I’ve got my hands on the certificate.”
Lydia agreed promptly, “Yes, yes. That’s not the priority now. We just need to wait till you’ve got the certificate and become Colton’s legal wife. Then, the world is yours!”
Queenie could finally be at ease. If she had known Colton liked children and would marry her for children, she would have gotten pregnant long ago. Maybe the child would be running around now if she did. At last, it was all worth it, and her dream came true. All she needed to do now was to marry Colton, and she would be one of the elite.
