Harley looked at the marriage contract and learned from the adults that it represented a betrothal between her and Brother
Lornell.
So she also picked up a pen and signed her name on the marriage certificate with great seriousness.
However, Harley’s posture while holding the pen was not very attractive, and the writing produced was crooked and uneven.
This was especially true for the strokes in her name, with the final “ley” being written terribly.
However, after all, he is only a three–year–old child, so it’s already good enough that he can write his own name.
Lornell frowned and looked at Harley’s name on the marriage certificate, feeling that he was really… quite ugly!
After Harley finished writing her name, she felt exhausted. She furrowed her eyebrows and complained to Lornell, “Why do we have to sign and write our names on the marriage certificate? My name is difficult to write. Next time, can we just use fingerprints instead of names?”
Lornell frowned. “Next time?” Does she want to sign another marriage contract with her?
Can we sign this thing just once in our lifetime, please?
Harley was very skilled at taking fingerprints, but unlike Lornell who only took a single fingerprint, she pressed her right palm directly onto the ink pad and then “slapped” it onto the marriage certificate.
They’re just…playing around!
The Quentin family members realized the situation and tried to stop it, but it was too late.
A bright red handprint suddenly appeared on the marriage certificate.
“This…” The Quentin family, who delivered the marriage proposal, looked very embarrassed.
“I printed more than Brother Lornell,” said Harley proudly.
Lornell was speechless. What was there to compare? But Harley continued to grin foolishly at him.
“If it doesn’t work out, we can make another marriage certificate for the Hart family and have the two children sign and fingerprint again,” said Brian.
“No need, this is fine!” said Lornell. “There’s not much difference between palm prints and fingerprints anyway.”
“Yes,” agreed the Quentin family.
Since the marriage certificate was in duplicate, the other copy also needed to be stamped.
Since Harley’s first copy was stamped with a palm print, the second copy was also stamped with a palm print.
After the stamping was done, each family kept one copy of the marriage certificate.
Harley looked at his red hand with ink and then at Lornell. “Brother Lornell, does this mean we will always be together from now on?”
Lornell pursed his pretty lips. “I suppose so.”
After he and she got engaged, his mother approached him again and asked, “Have you really thought this through? An engagement is not something you can just agree to and then change your mind about.”
“I won’t regret it.” He answered his mother’s words like this at the time, even answering quickly without hesitation.
He didn’t even understand himself why he answered so quickly at that time.
Although you are still a child, you are the future heir of the Quentin family. Therefore, you must understand that every word you say in the future will not be a child’s play. Since you won’t regret this matter, it’s even better. As for the girl from the Hart family, although her mother’s background is not great and she has a limp, the Hart family is still worthy of our Quentin family.
At that time, he didn’t know why, but when he heard his mother say the words “lame leg“, he felt a strange discomfort. In his mind, he saw the swollen face of Harley flash by.
I wonder if that little one will get angry again if they hear these words.
“His leg is lame because he saved someone. He traded one leg for a life,” he couldn’t help but say these words.
After the fight, he heard from others that the woman from the
Hart family had a limp leg because she had jumped into the river to save Jasmine, the daughter of the
Reed family. She almost died but survived, but her leg never fully recovered because she missed the opportunity for timely treatment.
“It’s rare to see you speak up like this. Are you speaking on behalf of your fiancée’s mother?” said the mother with a hint of sarcasm, and then left.
And now, with the signature and seal on the marriage certificate, Harley’s status in the Quentin family is officially confirmed.
In the future, they should be together forever, Lornell thought to himself in this moment.
“Does that mean I should also call you Lornell?” Harley asked curiously.
The sound of “Lornell” made Lornell’s eyebrows furrow and her body tremble. She asked, “Why are you calling me that?”
“But doesn’t Tina always call Chandler ‘Chandler‘?” the little one said naturally.
So… did she learn by imitation? Lornell continued to furrow her brows, and on her pretty little face, she rarely showed such a bitter and resentful expression.
In short, it all comes down to that guy Chandler, who started things off on the wrong foot.
“I don’t like it when people call me Lornell,” he said, scrunching up his face and feeling uncomfortable.
“Why don’t you like it? I think Lornell sounds nice. You can also call me Harley,” she said.
He paused for a moment, then realized that his name and hers
пapter 3400
were actually antonyms.
It’s true, just like their personalities, they were completely different. If it weren’t for that explosion, they might have never seen each other again after the amusement park.
He was lost in thought and didn’t say anything for a moment.
But his silence made her think he agreed, and she suddenly hugged him excitedly, “I knew you would agree. Lornell sounds nice. From now on, you can call me Harley, and I’ll call you Lornell!”
Lornell was caught off guard and was hugged face to face. He instinctively wanted to push Harley away, but when he raised his hand, her hand, still stained with red ink, grabbed his hand.
The red ink and the firm grip reminded him of the scene when she held his hand tightly during the explosion.
He had heard from people around him about the scene when he and Harley were rescued. She was already unconscious, but she still held his hand tightly. Even the rescuers had to spend some time separating their hands.
And there were still bloodstains on his hand.
He thought it was his blood at first, but later found out that it was Harley’s blood.
So, was the blood on his hand from Harley?
The red ink was like the blood from back then.
While Lornell was lost in thought, Harley struggled to stand on her tiptoes and pulled on his shirt collar so hard that he involuntarily bent over slightly. Her lips landed on his cheek, giving him a loud and resounding kiss.
“Lornell, I will like you from now on, okay?” the little one said with bright, shining eyes.
Lornell stared at the little face in front of him, feeling that her smile was so bright and beautiful.
Harley, huh… If she likes him, does he have to like her back?
Do you like this little guy?
If it were the him from before, he would definitely have scoffed and thought it was impossible!
But now, he is somewhat uncertain?
At this moment, Valda, who was standing nearby, watched the scene unfold. She saw the red ink on her daughter’s hand smearing onto Lornell’s body and immediately wanted to step forward to pull the child away.
Brian, however, held her hand and whispered, “No need.”
“Hmm?” Valda looked surprised.
“Let’s see how the two children get along. Since Lornell didn’t push Harley away, maybe this engagement isn’t too bad after all,”
said Brian.
Although his daughter was holding onto the other person, it made him feel uneasy, as if the cabbage he had worked hard to grow had only just sprouted and was about to be eaten by someone else’s pig.
But to be honest, Lornell is a suitable match for Harley in terms of appearance and family background. What’s more important is that Lornell was the one who actively requested the Quentin family to save Harley, and even offered to use a marriage proposal to persuade them to help.
Just on this point, Lornell is already a benefactor of the Hart family.
So, his liking for Lornell naturally increased a bit.
At the age of 3 and 7, there are still many years ahead before they can know if these two children will be able to walk together in the future.
And now, what they need to do is to make sure these two children get along as well as possible.
The members of the Quentin family left with the marriage certificate, and Lornell is also returning to the
Quentin family.
“When will you come to play with me again?” asked Harley.
“Wait for me when I have free time, at least… um, during summer vacation,” said Lornell. Although he also lives in Emerald City, he is now in elementary school and needs to go to school every day. After school, the Quentin family has arranged a lot of study materials for him. Just reading those difficult medical books takes up a lot of time.
“When you come to visit me during the summer vacation, will you bring me some delicious food?” She looked at me with eager eyes.
‘Is eating all she can think of? He felt a vein pop on his forehead, but upon meeting her gaze, he couldn’t bear to refuse. “I suppose… I will.”
“Do you have any toys? Will you bring them for me too?” she continued to eagerly ask.
“Probably…maybe.”
After the little guy received a satisfactory answer, he waved towards him happily and said, “Bye–bye.”
Lornell suddenly had a strange feeling. He thought that if he were to return to the Quentin family, Tina would miss him!
Sitting in the car on the way back, Lornell looked at the red ink stains on his hand. His subordinate was holding a wet tissue, intending to help him wipe off the ink stains.
“No need, I’ll just wash it off when I get back,” said Lornell, as she slowly clenched her small hand.
It feels like he’s still holding her little hand.
Summer vacation… it should come soon.
Once summer vacation arrives, he can meet her again.
