Dulcie brushed her cheek, a touch of discomfort lingering from the prolonged scrutiny, before turning her attention to her attire.
“Do I appear unattractive?”
“No,” Kyson replied candidly.
“This ensemble complements you remarkably well.
”
“Thank you.
You possess excellent taste.
”
Kyson averted his gaze, lightly tapping the table twice with his fingertips.
“Have breakfast.
”
Dulcie complied, her hunger evident as she ate with haste.
The Shaw family’s private chefs were renowned five-star culinary artists.
The breakfast they prepared was nothing short of exquisite and delectable.
It far surpassed the street food fare Dulcie was accustomed to.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Having swiftly finished her meal, she departed with Kyson.
Following his prearranged instructions, their descent downstairs was solitary, devoid of any encounters.
Although harboring some uncertainty, Dulcie refrained from questioning, obediently trailing him to the awaiting car.
With Kyson’s influence, they went through the procedures swiftly.
Within moments, two marriage certificates were bestowed upon Dulcie.
Dulcie tenderly caressed the marriage certificate, her emotions refusing to settle.
In a single day, she went from being Kyson’s girlfriend to his legally wedded wife, albeit under the stipulation of a one-year term.
There were no ceremonial rites, no well-wishes, and no exchange of rings.
Their union would remain clandestine unless Kyson chose to disclose it.
Yet, despite the absence of formalities, Dulcie brimmed with joy, reveling in the fulfillment of marrying the man of her dreams.
While her excitement radiated, Kyson remained outwardly composed, treating the occasion with the nonchalance of routine.
As they exited the courthouse, Kyson’s phone rang, prompting him to retreat to a secluded corner to answer the call.
Dulcie remained stationary, obediently awaiting his return.
Two minutes later, Kyson returned with a purposeful stride.
“I must attend to official matters and unable to escort you back to the Shaw family home.
Instead, a bodyguard will be dispatched to accompany you later.
He will also handle your luggage.
Your task is simple: return to the Shaw family residence and seek out Connolly, the butler.
I have already arranged for him to assist you during your stay.
Should you have any inquiries, direct them to him.
”
“Understood.
However, may I gather my belongings personally?”
Kyson’s gaze narrowed, a coldness settling over him as he remained silent.
Dulcie clasped the certificate tightly.
Her explanation was punctuated by a strained smile.
“Though they hold little monetary value, my possessions are dear to me and possess sentimental significance.
I fear they may suffer mishandling in another’s care.
I would feel more secure attending to them myself.
”
“Very well.
However, refrain from wandering.
Within twenty minutes at the latest, the Shaw family’s driver will arrive to transport you to the apartment.
Remain here until then.
”
