When they arrived, Assistant Shawn was already waiting for them at the entrance. Because Assistant Shawn had already arranged for the paperwork and such, it did not take them too long to obtain the marriage certificate.

In half an hour, the process was finished and the couple walked out with the red books in their hands as legal husband and wife.

Edith stared at the red book in her hand with a dazed expression.

"President Mo, Mrs. Mo, congratulations," Assistant Shawn spoke with a wide smile on his face.

Hearing the name, Edith was a little dumbfounded. It took her a while to respond to Assistant Shawn's words.

Just like that, she is now married to Neil. She had become Mrs. Mo. The feeling was a little surreal.

Edith had thought that she would panic the moment she walked out of the building. After all, they had come over to the bureau hastily. She did not even realize that she was going to get her certificate when they left the apartment.

But after staring at their pictures in the book, Edith thought that her heart and mind were at ease.

Marrying Neil felt right.

Even if things might change and fate might have different plans for them in later years, Edith thought that she would not regret the decision she made. 

At least, at this moment, she knew that she loved Neil and wanted to spend her time together with him for a very long time.

"Assistant Shawn, there will be a small party to celebrate this happy occasion," Neil spoke. "If you're free, please come and join us."

The assistant stared at his boss for a few seconds before he nodded. After giving his words that he will definitely show up, Assistant Shawn turned around and left, leaving the newlywed couple alone. As a single dog, it would not be wise for him to stay around.

Once his assistant left, Neil held hand with Edith and walked over to his SUV. He held the door for Edith and watched as she hopped into the seat. Then, he helped her with her seatbelt and leaned forward to kiss her lips. His eyes sparkled and his lips stretched into a happy smile. "Wife."

Edith felt her heart skipped a beat at this call. It felt a little strange, but it also made her feel a little giddy.

Neil touched the tip of her nose and spoke, "From now on, don't forget that you are someone with a husband, alright?" 

Edith laughed. "I know." She nodded obediently. Edith leaned forward and whispered, "Husband."

His expression changed and after a while, Neil bent to kiss her lips again. He pulled away to let her catch her breath and smiled.

Seeing the way Neil was looking at her with his tender gaze, Edith felt something sweet in her heart.

In the past, she was used to doing whatever she wanted to do as she was still a single lady.

From this moment, no matter what she decided to do, she had to consider that she is a married woman. From now on, she had a new family, a new home, and people who she can rely on.

Edith could not stop stealing a few glances at Neil as he drove over to the hospital, thinking of how fate had brought them together. Staring at his handsome profile, Edith thought that she had really hit a jackpot.

She looked at the red books in her hands and decided to snap a few pictures to post to her moments. In just a few seconds, her friends' congratulatory comments appeared and Edith thanked them for their wishes.

The couple arrived at the hospital after twenty minutes drive. Once they found a parking spot, the two entered the hospital building holding hands. They head over to Mike's ward and Edith raised her hand to knock on the door before they entered.

Mike's face brightened up upon seeing the two of them walking in together. He stretched up his hand and spoke. "Quick. Let me see the red book."

Edith stared at her grandfather in dumbfounded upon hearing his words. This… was not the reaction that she was expecting to see from her grandfather.

She was very positive that she had never mentioned getting a certificate with Neil… Wait. She only knew that they were going to get a certificate on their way to the bureau.

Then… how did her grandfather know?

"Why are you still in a daze?" Mike asked. "Quickly hand it over to me and let me see."

Edith watched as Neil passed over the red books to her grandfather. Her curiosity deepened when she saw the wide smile on her grandfather's face.

"Grandpa, how did you know?"

"Know what?" Mike blinked back in confusion.

"How did you know that we're getting a certificate today? I haven't mentioned anything to you, right?" 

Mike glanced at Neil and felt a little strange now that the man had suddenly become his grandson-in-law.

"Neil told me," Mike said. "The last time you two were in Z Town, he called and asked for my blessings."

The person who had found his granddaughter was Neil. Other than him, the person who was the most anxious when Edith had suddenly gone missing was Neil.

Seeing that the man really cared for his granddaughter, Mike naturally had no objection to let them marry. Anyway, before he had that accident, Neil's parents had talked to him and discussed a few matters regarding their wedding.

Since they were planning to get married anyway, it doesn't matter if it was a little earlier. They could always get a certificate now and hold the wedding reception later.

Mike coughed to clear his throat. "I have to call Old Bei and tell him to retrieve the household registration for me."

Edith thought that her brain has been working a little slow recently. The process for them to receive their certificate ran too smoothly. She should have realized that it was strange that Neil had not asked anything about her household registration.

It turned out that Grandpa had helped.

A while later, a doctor walked over into the room. After giving Mike the last check-up, the elderly man was allowed to leave the hospital. 

Because his body was a little unwell, Mike decided to accept Neil's suggestion to stay at his apartment to recuperate.

If he decided to return to Z Town immediately, his granddaughter was going to worry about him and he would be uneasy about it.

Moreover, his relationship with Edith was a little strange after he was caught with his lies.. Mike wanted to use this chance to repair his relationship with Edith.
