Chapter 36: Chapter 39: Getting Two Certificates at Once
Translator: 549690339
Ethan Wilson was indeed a man of action. After the two of them agreed on the terms, Lily Gray was imdiately taken to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On the way there, Lily subtly told Ethan that her docunts were all withheld by the Gray family, so it might take so ti to get her marriage certificate. However, Ethan seed not to have heard her words and took her directly to the Bureau.
As they arrived at the Bureau, not only were there staff mbers to escort them, but Lily’s docunts had also been prepared in advance.
Even more surprisingly, Austin Lucas had gone to the Bureau right after he left the Gray family, and had already completed the divorce procedures for both of them.
Thus, when Lily Gray ca out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she held two red notebooks in her hand.
One was a divorce certificate, the other a marriage certificate.
Having both certificates issued at once, Lily couldn’t help but laugh at the sympathetic and regretful expression the civil servant had shown towards Ethan while processing their marriage certificate.
She didn’t mind, but soone else’s face didn’t look too good.
Considering Ethan’s darkened face, Lily didn’t dare to provoke him and obediently followed behind him. When they got back into the car, the assistant Samuel Mckinley’s attitude towards her had completely changed.
When they had gotten out of the car earlier, he had only politely opened the door for her.
But now, as they got back into the car, Samuel respectfully waited by the door, reminding her to be careful as he opened the door, addressing her as “Young Lady”.
The car started up again quickly, with Ethan sitting to her left. Though they were close in proximity, the atmosphere between them was quite awkward.
From the mont they began taking photos for their marriage certificate, Lily had felt that Ethan had an uneasy presence about him. Once they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, he barely spoke.
She had originally thought it was because of the divorce certificate, but now that she thought about it, it seed that his face darkened as soon as they entered the Bureau.
Did she accidentally offend him?
Lily glanced at Ethan without a hint of her thoughts, trying to discern sothing from his face.
Ethan’s eyes were fixed on the window, a deep and unfathomable expression that made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.
In just a mont, all of Lily’s attention was drawn to this side of him.
His hair was neatly swept back, revealing his handso and sharp features.
These were the most enchanting features she had ever seen, even more perfect and delicate than Austin Lucas, who had always prided himself on his extraordinary looks. They exuded more masculine charm and the poise of a person in a high position.
Lily Gray had only intended to figure out what Ethan was thinking, but she found herself getting lost in his appearance.
When Ethan turned to look at her, she finally snapped out of her trance and regained her senses.
“Do you need sothing?” he asked, his face already back to normal.
Thinking about her previous dazed state, Ethan’s lips curled into a
self-mocking smile. All that had happened was that he married a woman he had made an agreent with. With only a year to go, there was no need for him to ruin his mood over it.
Lily Gray completely missed the aning behind Ethan’s smile.
Her mind was sowhat chaotic, and she felt embarrassed for having been caught stealing glances at him. Not wanting Ethan to mistake her as a “dumbstruck admirer,” she awkwardly tried to change the subject: “It’s nothing important…”
In a mont of sudden inspiration, she finally thought of sothing to say.
“I’m just curious, why ? Why are you helping … There must be many better choices if you need soone to marry.”
It seed a little late to be asking this question after getting the marriage certificate.
fMany people asked about the color of the divorce certificate, so here’s an explanation: the divorce certificate has changed colors—it went from green to red. The change was actually to get rid of outdated notions. In the past, people thought that divorce was shaful, so the color was changed to red to eliminate this differentiation..]
