Chapter 293
The holiday was over, and Latham and Dorothea pushed it right to the limit before finally dragging themselves onto the plane. When they landed, it was almost
midnight.
Dorothea’s cheeks were still pale, like she hadn’t quite recovered. She looked like she could use a nap-and maybe a transfusion.
“Babe, you should eat something. You look like you’re about to pass out p>
Dorothea really did not want to deal with this guy right now.
“Gee, I wonder why I look so pale p>
The second the topic of having a baby came up, it was like Latham got hit with a shot of pure caffeine. For three days, the curtains in their room stayed closed. Every time Dorothea woke up, he’d make sure she ate. And after that, well, it was her turn to make sure he was fed, too. Three days of this. How was anyone supposed to survive?
Latham just laughed under his breath. “First time about to be a dad. Guess I got a little carried away p>
Dorothea rolled her eyes so hard she thought they might stick. “I’m not even pregnant yet! For the next two weeks, we are sleeping in separate beds p>
Latham looked at her, wounded. “Honey, what couple trying for a baby sleeps apart? How about, instead, you get up an hour earlier and come work out with me at the gym p>
All he got in response was the cool back of her head.
Some people dreaded the end of vacation, but others couldn’t wait for the civil affairs office to open. Scott, dressed in a tailored black suit and holding his documents, waited outside Mamie’s apartment.
Mamie kept it simple and elegant. Under her coat, she wore a pale shirt-funny enough, both of them had picked white shirts under their jackets, like they’d coordinated without even trying.
“Are you sure you don’t need to ask your family first?” Scott asked quietly.
Mamie nodded. “Let’s just get the marriage certificate. Telling them afterward is the same thing p>
Whether Josh and Claire agreed or not, she was getting married. She had to if she wanted to be with Garth. As for Scott… he was more like bonus she got for getting closer to Garth. ”
The whole process for Scott and Mamie at the registry office was
smooth When she steppey aset
holding the little red marriage
booklet, it felt almost unreal.
Right on cue, Scott’s phone rang. Ladd was calling. “Scott, are you guys at the registry office p>
Ladd honestly couldn’t believe Scott would get married so easily. A flash marriage? It just didn’t seem possible.
“Yeah, we just left. Dad, if you don’t believe me, I’ll send you a picture of the certificate p>
“Go ahead. Send it to the family group chat so Latham can see, too.” Ladd sounded like he still didn’t trust him.
Scott hung up, got in the car, and added Mamie to the family group chat.
“You send the photo. My dad doesn’t believe we actually got married. He thinks I couldn’t win you over p>
Mamie pursed her lips, at a loss for words. Why did Ladd think Scott wouldn’t be able to get her to agree, with all he had going for him?
Getting pulled into this family group chat
little strange. She glanced
at everyone’s profile picture
could recognize them all.
She carefully took a photo of their marriage certificate, her cheeks heating up just a
little as she hit send.
“It’s sent, Scott p>
Scott was driving, but he glanced over at her screen and gave a soft, satisfied “Good p>
