They couldn’t delay it any longer, so they finally decided to return and take care of everything that they could. After returning to their home country, they first visited the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Fortunately, Eugene had made prior arrangements, so there weren’t many people getting marriage certificates. The duo followed the procedure and sat down for a photo.
Eugene raised his eyes and glanced at the woman beside him. She was wearing a beautiful and enchanting white dress, smiling happily and naturally. Once they received the certificate, she would be his wife and the rightful person by his side who would accompany him for the rest of his life.
This beautiful moment made him feel like it was all just a dream. For some unknown reason, he suddenly became nervous and couldn’t sit still or smile properly. His whole body was stiff and uncooperative. The photographer said, “Sir, don’t be nervous. Just be natural. Come, give us a smile.”
The more they tried to make Eugene relax, the more nervous he became. The curve of his lips looked like it was artificially drawn.
Olivia told the photographer, “Give us a moment.”
After saying that, she pulled Eugene, who was already numb from smiling, out of the room. She deliberately wore a stern face and asked him, “Regretting it now?”
Eugene looked at her bewilderedly. “Regretting what?” “Did I hold a knife to your neck and force you to get the marriage certificate with me?” Olivia asked.
“No.”
“Then, why do you look so unwilling?” Eugene didn’t know how to explain it as he looked at her. After a moment, he mumbled, “I’m nervous.”
At that, Olivia mocked, “Look at you. We’re just getting a marriage certificate. Are you having second thoughts?”
“No.”
“Give me a smile, then.”
Eugene forced another smile that looked even worse than a crying face. Olivia stared at him for a while and ultimately gave up. He’s usually very decisive, but he’s so nervous about getting a certificate. Who would believe it?
“Alright, alright. Just leave it like that. This thing isn’t meant to be shown off all the time, so it’s fine if it looks a bit ugly.”
After saying that, she dragged Eugene back into the photography studio. The two of them took their seats again, and the photographer smiled and asked, “Are you feeling better now?”
Olivia commented, “Let’s just take the photo like this. In my heart, he’s always the most handsome.” She glanced at Eugene as she spoke, then held his hand, intertwined their fingers, and smiled slightly.
That warm and healing smile was like a spring breeze awakening the earth, bringing along swallows and rousing the frogs from their slumber.
Eugene looked at her charming and adorable appearance, his eyes filled with fondness. He curled his lips into a gentle smile and said, “My wife is the most beautiful too.”
The sharp-eyed photographer noticed it and immediately said to the couple, “Look here, please.” Both of them turned to face the photographer upon hearing his words.
With a flash, their wedding photos were taken. The results were incredible; they could be called the happiest and sweetest couple with their radiant smiles.
Olivia was speechless as well. She had seen candid shots in wedding photos before but had never seen someone so nervous during the photo for their wedding certificate.
Fortunately, the candid shots turned out well. Eugene was no longer nervous after the photos were taken. When they recited their vows, he looked at Olivia, reciting each word with utmost seriousness.
Eugene’s nervous and anxious feelings finally eased slightly when the marriage stamps were affixed. They had finally become a legitimate couple.
Olivia looked at Eugene, who was still grinning while holding the marriage certificate. She wanted to tell him to stop smiling because he no longer had the demeanor of a domineering president. The truth was, she found this side of him adorable too.
Meanwhile, Eugene was fiddling with his phone incessantly and Olivia didn’t know what he was doing. She became impatient and asked, “Are we still going to the company? Aren’t we swamped with work?”
