“How thick-skinned are you? Don't get carried away. What does it have to do with you that I'm going to the City Hall with my husband today?"
Darius looked at the photo of me standing at the entrance of the City Hall and clenched his fists tightly.
But the next moment, he calmed down.
[@Shawna so, you're getting married? Fine, bring him to the class reunion in three days so I can meet him. Don’t forget to bring the marriage certificate!]
Seeing that we were really about to start arguing in the group chat, the classmates realized that we had truly broken up.
They tried to smooth things over, but I just replied with a casual [Sure.]
Three days were agonizing for Darius, but they flew by for me.
Although Barry and I got married in a hurry, we still needed to handle the necessary matters.
The wedding house needed to be redecorated and I needed to move.
Since finding out about our marriage, Grandpa had been so happy he could not stop smiling.
Three days flew by and Barry promised to accompany me.
However, there was an urgent matter at the company, so he would be a bit late.
By the time I arrived, almost everyone was already there.
When he saw that there was no one beside me, Darius’s face lit up with a smug smile.
Sofia, sitting beside him, spoke up at the right moment, “I told you so, Shawna must have been lying to you. Don't worry about it."
The entire private room was filled with my university classmates and we all got along well.
As soon as I arrived, people greeted me, seemingly trying to divert the conversation away from a particular topic.
But Darius certainly wouldn't let them have their way, since his purpose that day was to see me regret it.
“Shawna, where’s the husband you mentioned? You said you’d bring him to meet us. Where is he?”
“Even if you regret it now, it's too late. There’s no longer a place for you by my side. I’m with Sofia now.”
After Darius said this, the scene he had imagined didn’t appear.
I just stared at Darius with a cold expression, calmly pulling out the marriage certificate from my bag.
Seeing this, Darius’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “This is obviously fake. You bought it at a convenience store for five dollars. Shawna, you're lying just to save your pride."
I furrowed my brows and flipped open the marriage certificate as I said, “A fake one wouldn't have a steel stamp, would it?"
