Chapter 92
92. JUST GOT MARRIED s POV I was aware that by this time, the majority of the guests had been led out of the venue of the wedding by the bodyguards, and that the only people who were still there were our immediate family members and close friends. I continued to drive as I frustratedly ran my fingers through my hair, but I was taken aback when my phone began to burst from the number of calls and messages it was receiving, most likely from my own family or from the Laurens. On the other hand… as I kept my attention fixed on the road ahead of me, I paid no mind to my phone. The roaring sound of the accelerator pedal could be heard the entire time. I simultaneously glanced over at the woman who was seated quietly beside me, and I noticed that regardless of how fast the car was moving, her expression did not change at all. She didn’t show any sign of surprise or didn’t even bat an eyelid. She was certainly one tough woman! My desired location was reached quite quickly, and I pulled up in front of the building. “We’re here…” Celine appeared to be disrupted from her deep thought when I made the announcement; however… she did get out of the car, and made a frowning face when she realized that we had just arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me with narrowed eyes, opening her mouth but then closing it again when I took her hand and pulled her inside the building. 1/5 Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Because of my powerful status, the highest-ranking manager extended a cordial greeting to me. “Good morning, Mr. Anderson…” he said, bowing his head down. “How may I help you? This is really a
surprise visit from you—” He was cut off from his statement when I leaned over to whisper what I needed, and a few moments later, two pieces of paper were handed to me. “Uh… what exactly does this even mean?” Celine inquired, while maintaining a scowling expression on her face, and I smirked at her, which caused the frown on her forehead to become even more pronounced. But despite this, she appeared stunning, far more stunning than any other woman I had ever seen in my entire life. I sighed as I tried to push that idea out of my mind. “Didn’t you want to get married?” Instead of giving her an answer to her question, I asked her. “What’s that look on your face? You don’t seem to be very happy, huh?” I lifted her chin with my finger, trying to decipher what was running in her mind by focusing on her eyes, but she was emotionless. The manager’s office of the Civil Affairs Bureau had been thoroughly cleared, and only those who were necessary remained outside the office. Now, there was just the two of us left in the room, and we were seated in chairs that were right next to each other. To my utter astonishment, Celine started laughing out loud and, as she did so… her eyes closed. She came dangerously close to acting like a fool, but despite that, she’s still the loveliest woman for me. “Brylee did everything in her power for you to marry her, but you chose to marry me instead…?” She inquired about it as if she didn’t believe that I was serious when I proposed to her earlier. I admired the look on her face as I nodded and continued to stare at her in silence. “Sebastian!” she scolded as she kept her smiles away, looking at me with a glare. “What are you trying to do? What’s your purpose in marrying me?” “What’s my purpose?” I repeated her question while inching closer to her, and she responded by widening her eyes and pressing her palm against her chest. “From the very start, I had the intention of marrying your sister because she had Claire’s heart…” I paused for a while to gauge her reaction to
what I had just said, but all she did was sit there expressionless in anticipation of my next statement. “However… I came to realize that instead of marrying a woman who clings to her partner all day, wouldn’t marrying a heartless but alluring woman be more interesting?” The moment Celine took in this information, she bolted from her seat and scowled angrily at me. “You are a complete and utter per vert!” “Of course not!” I replied, my eyes rolling around in a sarcastic manner. “Do you really want to know what’s the real reason for this?” “What?” She questioned it by folding her arms on her chest and jutting her chin out. I smiled evily and got to my feet, and abruptly h o oked my arm around her waist, drawing her closer to me and whispering into her ear. “I would really like to see if you’re going to fall in love with me or not…” Celine fixed her gaze solely on me while slightly hesitating to breathe. Then, a smirk appeared to form on her lips. “Mr. Anderson, are you trying to find a reason for your own existence through me? And oh… you should call me honey from now on…” Her words were dripping with sarcasm as she reached out and gently unhooked my arm from around her waist, which I had been holding. The following instant, she tidied up her clothes and sighed heavily as she looked up at me. “Remember that there’s absolutely no chance that I will ever fall in love with you!” It was a chilly voice that she used, and I stood frozen as I looked at her with a piercing gaze, my eyes penetrating her very being as she spoke. CELINE’S POV His intense gaze caused me to swallow hard with nervousness, but I didn’t make it obvious for him to notice how I was feeling right now. I believe that he must have a genuine reason for wanting to marry me, and I intend to discover what that reason is. Things had progressed to the point where I was powerless to prevent him from marrying me, although I did not want to marry him. Because, despite my best efforts to the contrary, I know that taking
on the role of Mrs. Anderson would be beneficial for me. “I don’t care why you want to marry me, nor do I want to know why you want to marry me…” I scoffed. “However, this sham marriage ought to be beneficial for the both of us, otherwise you’ll find out what else I’m capable of doing. In addition to that, I would like it if you could treat me better when we’re together!” Having said that, I grabbed the paper from him and was about to leave, but he blocked my path and prevented me from leaving by holding my wrist. “Since you have taken the oath, you will be my wif from this day forward…” After releasing his hold on me, he moved closer to me and spoke in a hushed tone. “I’m going to let everyone in New York City know that you and I are already married. And I won’t stand for it if anyone ever insults you again!” I gave him an icy stare while maintaining a smirk on my lips and raising an eyebrow. “Mr. Anderson… You are very skilled at capturing the affection of each and every woman. Have you been acting the same way toward that Claire girl as well?” He smirked and the proximity of his face to mine made me jerk away from him. “Are you jealous, my dear wife?” he asked in a low voice that rumbled from his throat with a hint of happiness. I smiled mockingly while maintaining my cold demeanor toward him. I was just thinking… is it really easy for you to forget Claire?” Sebastian let out a sigh before putting his arm around my shoulder and smiling. The odd expression that he maintained on his lips gradually became more noticeable. “So, Mrs. Anderson… let’s repay it together, yeah?” I frowned and carelessly brushed his arm away that was on my shoulder. “What does it have to do with me?” I snarled at him as I stormed out of the room, giving him the evil eye. 5/5
