Chapter 440: Let’s Get Married
-Give me a minute.
Dylan said quietly.
Cecilia was still sleeping and he couldn’t bear to wake his little girl.
Vanessa smiled helplessly and nodded her head. Sometimes even she couldn’t help but feel jealous of Dylan’s affection for Cecilia. It was embarrassing to admit.
After all, it was too embarrassing to compete with his own daughter for a favour or something.
Shaking her head good-naturedly, Vanessa went to her room to change into her clothes first, and when she came back out Dylan was already waiting in the living room.
-Honey, close your eyes.
-What’s that, so mysterious?
Vanessa said with disgust on her lips, but closed her eyes meekly. Unable to see, not knowing what Dylan had done, she could only sharpen her hearing. Unfortunately, her ears couldn’t hear anything either, and it was clear that Dylan was determined to be mysterious to the end.
So much anticipation, so much curiosity, wondering what surprise Dylan had in store for him.
As Vanessa thought curiously, she felt something else in her hand.
It felt like paper to the touch.
What kind of surprise is this?
Vanessa wondered when she heard Dylan say that she could open her eyes and unconsciously opened them and looked down. When she saw that what she was holding in her hand were indeed sheets of paper, she couldn’t really tell what they were because they were facing away from her.
-Turn around and look.
Dylan said with a smile.
Vanessa, her heart full of curiosity, turned over the two thin sheets of paper.
-A certificate of ownership of the ranch?
-Do you like it?
In other words, was the ranch they had visited during the day now theirs?
Vanessa’s eyes widened as she read everything on it with a look of surprise. The drop at the bottom said her name, the ranch was undoubtedly hers.
-What… makes you want to buy a ranch all of a sudden?
-A while ago I was thinking with Candy about taking you somewhere to go for a walk to rest, and then I overlooked this ranch. I went to see it in advance and thought you and Candy would like it, so I bought it without thinking about it. Good thing I was quick, otherwise the ranch would have belonged to someone else. And you liked it so much I thought it was worth it.
As long as Vanessa liked him, as long as she wanted him, he could bring her everything good in the world with both hands.
Yes, that’s how dominant it was.
Vanessa didn’t know what to say.
The ranch had been bought, was in his name and he liked it very much, as did his daughter.
It was the best surprise of all.
-Thank you, I love it.
-Didn’t I tell you? There’s no need to be polite to me, we’re family. As long as you’re happier than anything, I’m happy to do anything that makes you happy.
Dylan looked at Vanessa with a smile on his face, his eyes soft as water.
Vanessa suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with putting the rest of her life in this man’s hands.
The only thing missing now was a wedding.
He didn’t care if it was a wedding or not, but he knew Dylan had never felt safe and probably needed a wedding more than anything else.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
A wedding where I could tell the world that I belonged to Dylan.
-Dylan, let’s get married.
The words came out of his mouth without the slightest preamble.
In fact, Vanessa had already said something like that once.
-All right.
Suddenly, Dylan reached out and hugged Vanessa tightly.
Since he had said the word marriage, he would never let her go, not in this life. Who had let her come to him of her own free will and into his arms?
Dylan hugged Vanessa tightly with satisfaction and gratitude in his heart.
He was glad that he had not made any more mistakes, that he and Vanessa had not lost each other.
How marvellous.
-Darling, I want to give you the most perfect wedding. I want you to be the happiest bride in the world and the envy of all women.
-Good.
He didn’t care how big the wedding was or what form it took, but if Dylan wanted it, he wouldn’t object.
-Vanessa, I love you.
Dylan couldn’t help but utter the words of confession.
As if worried that Vanessa would not say yes, Dylan took Vanessa to the registry office first thing the next morning. He even left his beloved daughter in Mateo’s care for the time being and was particularly anxious to get there.
It turned out to be too early and the civilian office was not yet open.
-See, the doors aren’t open yet, you’re in a hurry.
Vanessa said with a look of helplessness.
-I was afraid you would run away.
Dylan joked as he took Vanessa’s, bringing his hand to his lips and kissing the back of her hand.
-Where am I going to run to, my daughter is still with you.
-By what you say, does that mean you can run without my daughter by your side?
Dylan asked, pretending to be angry and deliberately gripping Vanessa’s wrist tightly. If that wasn’t enough after that, he went so far as to take her whole body in his arms again and squeeze her movements.
Special report.
-Since you’re running, I’ll hold you tight so you have nowhere to run.
-It’s a joke, you still take it for granted.
Vanessa said with a helpless smile on her face.
-I don’t care, I’m not going to let you go anyway or I’ll lose out if you run away.
So Dylan had been so childish at times.
Vanessa couldn’t help but think to herself.
In fact, Dylan had privileges in Pacifica City, not to mention the fact that they had just arrived early, even if they came in the middle of the night. All Dylan had to do was say the word, and a registrar would immediately open the door and marry them in person.
For him, marriage was a sacred matter, so he did not want to take advantage of any privileges.
It was not a bad experience to queue up and go through the process as ordinary people do.
After all, something like getting his licence was something he only intended to do once in his life.
Of course I had to appreciate it.
The two waited in the car for a while until the staff of the Civil Affairs Office started working before heading to the registration line, hand in hand.
There was no need to queue, after all, they had arrived early and it was not a special day. There were not many people at the Civil Affairs Office, nine out of ten couples were married, and the remaining couple were divorced, of course.
But that is not really relevant for the two of them.
Dylan took Vanessa by the hand throughout the whole process, filling in the forms and taking photos.
Within ten minutes, the marriage certificate was ready.
When they opened it, there was a picture of them sitting next to each other.
Not even looking straight ahead at the same time could hide the love in their eyes, the bubbling sweetness of happiness between them.
-It is beautiful.
Dylan sighed contentedly, carefully putting the marriage certificate away.
-Vanessa.
-Hmm?
When she suddenly heard Dylan call out to her, Vanessa looked up unconsciously. The next second, the man in front of her suddenly grabbed her.
