Chapter 5: Marriage Registry

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mila stood up abruptly and paced around the room in frustration. After thinking for half an hour, she finally replied to Chaucer, “Okay.”

On the other side, Chaucer was still awake. When he saw Mila’s message, his lips curled into a wicked smile.

“Mila wants to marry into the Chapman family so badly that she’s even agreed to such an unreasonable request. In that case, I’ll marry her. Why not use a woman to shut the elders up?”

…

The next morning.

Mila opened her dry eyes. She had many dreams last night, and her head felt numb. When she closed her eyes, all kinds of images flashed in her mind.

In one of the dreams, she married Chaucer. The two of them looked harmonious but were at odds with each other. They often quarreled and lived separately. In the end, Chaucer cheated, and they divorced.

In another dream, she rejected Chaucer and continued to struggle in the entertainment industry. After another ten years, she still didn’t achieve anything. In the end, she married 37 to a divorced man who had a child. That man often abused her, and her life was worse than hell.

Her dreams were all over the place. In the end, she gave up on sleeping. She closed her eyes and let her imagination run wild until dawn.

Actually, dreams could also reflect reality. From the looks of it, it was better to marry Chaucer. The worst outcome would be that he would cheat on her and they would get a divorce. Anyway, with Grandpa Chapman around, Chaucer wouldn’t dare to physically abuse her.

After pondering for a moment, Mila got up and decided to marry Chaucer. Since she had to marry someone, she might as well find a handsome man with a familiar background.

Mila quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She changed into a white dress, put on some light makeup, and left her place with her household registration permit in her handbag.

When she arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chaucer had already picked up his number and was waiting. He was sitting on a chair and flipping through documents with a focused expression. His well-tailored suit and handsome face attracted the attention of many girls.

Mila walked to his side with a smile. “Morning, Mr. Chapman.”

“Morning,” Chaucer looked up at her and said lightly. “We’re getting married. Don’t call me Mr. Chapman all the time. Chaucer will do it.”

“Then just call me Mila.”

Chaucer nodded and looked at the number displayed on the big screen. He frowned slightly and said seriously, “Although we’re getting married officially, I think it’s better not to publicize our relationship for the time being. It’ll also affect your career as an actress.”

“That’s fine with me. No problem.”

Mila agreed with this suggestion. She had never been in a relationship and didn’t look forward to a happy marriage. She was just looking for a suitable person to live with. It didn’t matter if they made their relationship public.

They waited for nearly an hour before it was their turn. Together, they went to the counter, filled out the application form, and handed it to the staff.

Mila was in a daze the whole time. She only returned to her senses when the staff stamped the wedding photo and handed her the red booklet.

They were really married!

Mila didn’t know how to feel when she walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. They were total strangers the day before, but today, they were already legally married.

“It’s still early. I’ll drive you back home,” Chaucer said. As he spoke, he took her hand and walked towards the parking lot.

Mila followed him and got into the front passenger seat. Chaucer took out a key and access card from his briefcase and handed them to her.

“Since we’re married, we definitely have to live together. My place is in Dragon Bay A-601. Move your things over as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Mila took the key and nodded obediently.

After getting their marriage registered, of course, they had to live together. They could work on their relationship, and she could save the rent. It was killing two birds with one stone.

“After I send you back, I’m going to take a plane to Sea City. It’ll take me at least half a month to come back, so I’ll have to trouble you to move alone. I’ll transfer you some money later. If you need anything, you can buy it yourself.”

“I’m fine on my own. You don’t have to give me any money.”

Mila seemed fragile, but she was very independent and strong on the inside. After graduation, she moved out of her home and rented her own place. Once she started working, no matter how hard it was, she never asked her parents for a single cent, so she wouldn’t ask Chaucer for any money.

Moreover, she had moved many times over the years and had always done it alone. She was already used to it.

Mila returned to the apartment and looked at everything in the room. She felt a little reluctant. After all, she had lived here for a year and felt attached to the place.

She had spent two days decorating the small apartment. After that, she bought a lot of things to make her life as comfortable as possible. She didn’t want to abandon these things, so she could only take everything with her.
